Let's chat about anxiety – that unsung hero in our emotional lineup. Yep, you heard me right – anxiety. It's that jittery, nerve-wracking feeling that often gets a bad rap. But what if I told you that anxiety isn't always the villain we make it out to be? In fact, in its milder forms, anxiety can be a superpower in disguise – a source of motivation, energy, and even productivity. Imagine…(click on title to read more)

We all know how our brains love to dish out a dose of negativity with our morning brew…your mind might start racing with worries and concerns about the day ahead, replaying the mistake from yesterday, jumping to worst-case scenarios and magnifying potential problems, comparing yourself to others on social media, or maybe you’re waking up just feeling groggy is the already the perfect recipe for your brain to slip unconsciously into a negative mindset…need I go on?

“Yeew” is what I think of when I think of those pesky "should" statements that tend to dominate our inner dialogue. But fear not, we're not here to bore you with serious stuff – there'll be plenty of humor to keep things interesting! Imagine this: You're cruising through your day when suddenly, anxiety or disappointment crashes the party in your mind. Cue the spotlight on those "should" statements, rolling out like a never-ending script you never asked for. "I should've handled that better." "I should be farther along in my career."

Now, I know what you're thinking – running? Isn't that just a fancy way to torture yourself, step by step? Well, you're not entirely off base, but hear me out! Sure, there are moments during a run when you question your life choices – like that time you thought spicy tacos were a good pre-jog meal. But fear not! For every uphill struggle, there's a downhill breeze just waiting to make you feel like you're soaring. It's all about balance, you know?

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of marathon madness. Picture this: It's race day, and there I am, standing at the starting line, nerves buzzing with excitement and anticipation, gearing up to tackle 26.2 miles of pure adventure, joy, pain, and maybe a few tears (in that exact order). Little did I know, I was about to dive into a journey that would push me beyond my limits. Oh, the thrills that awaited! As the miles stretched out before me, each…(click on title to read more)
First off, let's debunk the myth of perfection. Spoiler alert: It's a myth! Life's messy, and so are we – and that's the beauty of it. Embrace the imperfections, laugh at the slip-ups, and remember, even the Mona Lisa's got a few smudges. Maybe Da Vinci spilled his coffee too, who knows?! So the next time you catch yourself spiraling into all-or-nothing land, pause, take a deep breath, and ask yourself…(click on title to read more)
In a world where it sometimes feels like everyone's pointing out our flaws, accepting our wholeness is like sticking it to the man. We get caught up in the pursuit of perfection, constantly striving to fix what we perceive as broken or lacking. But what if I told you that you are already whole, just as you are?! You're this amazing, unique person with a story that's all yours.…(click on title to read more)
Ah, there's nothing quite like snuggling up in bed with your favorite snacks, surrounded by blankets, and getting lost in a binge-watch session of your favorite TV shows. It's a little indulgence we've all enjoyed at some point, and let's face it – it's glorious…(click on title to read more)!
In a world filled with deadlines, responsibilities, and the constant hustle, there's something truly magical about letting go of it all and embracing the joy of playing ridiculous, silly, and utterly meaningless games with friends. Whether it's a raucous round of Charades, a spirited game of Pictionary, or an absurdly competitive match of made-up games inspired by honey bees (ask but don’t ask, haha), there’s no denying the pure fun of letting loose and being a little goofy…(click on title to read more)!
Imagine this: You're on a mission to revamp your life. You dive in headfirst, fueled by caffeine and Pinterest inspiration boards, ready to conquer the world. But then reality hits. You hit a roadblock, lose steam, and before you know it, you're back to binge-watching Netflix with a tub of ice cream.
Sound familiar? Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. But fear not, my friend, because slow change is here to save the day!

Are you planning your day with care and knowing when to be still? Life essentials like sleep and movement need to be scheduled. Look at your calendar and ask if there's any unnecessary stress built into it? Do you barely have time left to breath or relax? Studies show sleep habits may have long-term benefits and add years to your life. Understand when to move and when to be still.
Differences between a coach, therapist, and mentor. As someone who has worked with all three throughout my life (sometimes together)…goal here is to clarify the fundamental distinctions between all three and help you make a well-informed decision on which approach can benefit you the most in your journey, whether it’s…
When we are engulfed by the comparison of ourselves to others, it only serves to send us in a downward spiral. Social media is filled with curated versions of lives. People choose what mask they want to wear and what they want to share. We start thinking about how our lives suck in comparison to theirs. We start questioning our choices, our identity, our purpose. And we start believing that we're not good enough, not pretty enough, not grieving fast enough, not tough enough, not successful enough. We start telling ourselves that we are doing something wrong, and that we are “just not enough.” How does any of that serve us well? It doesn’t. Don’t create opportunities to feel like crap. CHOOSE to create more opportunities to SHINE! When a self-deprecating thought enters your mind…
Running is like drinking beer (or any kind of alcohol). For some people, it’s an acquired taste. There was a time in my life when I hated running with a passion, when running half a mile was torturous and I told myself I’d rather die. And when I gained 35 pounds and read that the quickest way to lose weight was to pick up jogging...I gave it a go (and still hated it initially). But that's the shorter version of the story. The fact that I gained weight wasn’t the real issue. Sure, I wasn’t happy that I didn’t look like I did in high school anymore. But the weight was just surface level problem. The REAL issue was…
