Today we’re exploring the importance of a creating a great mind so that you can create (and maintain) a great body. However, this isn’t just about physique. Great relationships, great careers and great families also require that you develop a strong, healthy mind!
We’re so quick to focus on the steps we need to take to create a great body or a strong financial portfolio, but the disciplined pursuit of a great mind doesn’t rank as high on the priority list.
It’s time to change that! Don’t miss today’s episode!
In today’s episode I talked about my new love of hemp hearts! As I explained in episode 504, I have to avoid most nuts right now, so hemp hearts are a great alternative because of their nutty flavor! I put them on top of salads and yogurt – they’re so good!
In October 2019, our relationship with Thrive Market changed. They decided to put their marketing dollars in avenues outside of podcasting but we still think they’re a good choice if you’re looking to save money on health & personal care products.
Hi! Guess what? Today I’m kicking off a new series on the blog called, “How Amazing”.
If you’d rather listen to this blog than read it, please click play. Otherwise, keep reading below.
This idea came to me about an hour ago while I was warming up for my workout. Per usual, I got to the gym about 20 minutes before my workout so I could do some mobility & stretching. As I finished up my workout I thought, I wonder just how amazing I could feel if I did absolutely everything right.
How amazing could I feel if I did everything right with my training?
How amazing could I feel if I did everything right with my hydration?
How amazing could I feel if I did everything right with my nutrition?
Mindset? Sleep? Meditation? Journaling?
While I know perfection isn’t possible, there’s certainly a lot of room between perfection and where I am now that I can explore.
Just how amazing could I feel? How much happier would I be? How much better would I sleep? How much less stress or negativity would I have in my life?
Why not try?
So, I am. I don’t know if this will be a week long blog series or a month, but I know I’m starting today and I’ll post daily.
I intend to share when I wake up, how I spend my time, when I stretch, meditate and workout, what I eat, and surely much more.
The goal here isn’t to suggest that my way is the right way. It’s certainly not the only way. And how I structure my days certainly would only work for me. But I think this is something we can all benefit from pursuing.
A huge turning point in my health and weight loss journey was getting out of debt. I know that might seem weird, but it’s true. The lessons I learned while getting out of debt taught me so much about health, fitness and even starting a business.
For example: the little things do matter when you’re getting out. The $2 coffee matters. The little things can get you into big trouble. Alternatively, they can transform your life for the better.
In today’s episode, having just celebrated 4 years in business, I’m sharing 4 lessons I learned in business that are actively improving my life every day!
I hope you enjoy them!

I wanted to share with you a short message my sister sent me the other day that resonates with me on every level.
If you’d rather listen to this blog than read it, please click play below. Otherwise, just keep on reading!
The message from my sister said:
Of course I struggle. I just don’t quit.
I like it so much I made it the background of my phone.
Sometimes we think that people who reach their goals or create success simply struggle less than we do. We tell ourselves that they have it easier, in some way.
That’s usually not true. They struggle. I struggle in big ways and small ways. But, I refuse to quit.
I get tired. I get sad. I feel stressed, overwhelmed and pressured. My motivation fades. I make choices I don’t feel proud of.
But I refuse to quit.
I won’t turn back. I won’t give up. I simply refuse to quit.
Every day I wake up and ask myself, “What will I do to make today amazing? What will I do to make myself proud?”
Then, I get to work making those things happen.
Stop making your goals optional. Stop re-negotiating what you’ll do and not do each day.
Set your eyes on where you want to go and put one foot in front of the other. Get to work.
Here’s to showing up for yourself. Here’s to not quitting. Here’s to trying. Here’s to doing your best.
Every week, I have a live Q&A webinar with clients in my 12 Weeks to Transformation groups. This past week, there was an obvious theme to the questions that came up: guilt.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about guilt that stems from the story we create around our choices. We unlock a powerful truth: you create the story. You can always create a new one. You are the master story teller and meaning maker in your life.
As you create these stories are food, alcohol, relationships, workouts or anything else – how do you feel? How do you feel when you believe those thoughts? Do you want to continue to endorse that belief?
In today’s episode I’m sharing part of the challenge I gave my clients. I had them do 3 things:
Identify a story that isn’t working and/or doesn’t reflect what you want
Define a new story
Practice the new story daily in both thought and action
