Who remembers every time someone called you beautiful? 

Me neither. 

Who remembers every time someone called you fat, ugly, or made fun of you? 

I do too.

Let’s start with a little science lesson…to improve our energy, we have to improve our cells. We have trillions of cells in our body. These cells have parts inside them called mitochondria – which is the powerhouse of the cell. It is where cellular energy production occurs. Because we are made up of cells, the status of these cells determine how we feel day to day. So to improve our energy, we have to improve our cells. These 5 tips will help you have more energy without caffeine. 

Very often, if we are struggling in our personal lives or with our mental health- it’s easy to convince ourselves that someone has it worse than us. That someone has “real problems” while ours are minor in comparison. This might cause us to avoid talking to a therapist because we downplay our feelings.

If you’re alarmed by what women believe today, just remember we were being taught it as girls. We didn’t wake up as 30somethings feeling too fat or too hairy or too bump or too splotchy for the first time. We spent 3 decades being groomed to think these things.

If you’ve suffered from self-image issues for a while, sometimes it can feel very forced and inauthentic to sit down and tell yourself how much you love your body. I always struggled with the idea of body-positive affirmations because it felt so far from how I felt about myself when I was at war with my body. So, let’s dive in and explore the idea of body-neutral affirmations!

Take the small steps and focus on them, and before you know it you’ll be standing at the top of the staircase thinking how every single little step helped you reach the top.

If you’re looking for a *spooky* thriller to read for all your fall girl dreams while you curl up with a PSL, we’ve got some recommendations for you. As a lover of all things spooky, and reading, here are 5 thriller/mystery novels by some amazing female authors that I can’t recommend enough:

…but I didn’t. And here’s what I think that means about women as a whole.

Have you ever been in one of those slumps in your life where everything feels really rote & mundane? Like you’re just going through the motions, and the motions are good things, and the motions aren’t hurting you or anyone else, but you’re also not particularly excited about the motions either?

Listen, we are a judgment-free zone. But we have got to talk about a topic that makes people uncomfortable: money.

As a society, we don’t bat an eye spending whatever we need to spend on new phones, computers, tablets, cars, bags, etc. The price is the price and while we might not always love it, we’ll pay it.

Being a personal trainer for long enough, you start to realize the true value people put in their health. And not going to sugarcoat it: it’s low.

If you’ve ever had a coach before you know how impactful they can be.

A good coach knows a balance between comfort and discomfort. There has to be both..

People can’t adapt and grow if they aren’t pushed to an uncomfortable place first. 

Ready to wake up ready to take on the day and be an overall bad bitch? Use these affirmations to get it started!

First of all…

I love “listen to your body.” As a woman emerging from the cocoon of confusing dietary suggestions and appearance-focused “health” and “wellness” chatter, “listen to your body” has been a great source of comfort for me, a reminder of an inner “knowing” I’ve had all along and needn’t search for in any “What I Eat In a Day” or “How To Build Muscle & Lose Fat At The Same Time” article.

Summer is a HARD time to focus on anything but FUN 🤘🏽🥳

There are a couple ways you can approach the Summer season:

Being a health coach, I work with clients of all different goals, lifestyles, and motives.

Many come to me with the desire to lose weight; but other common goals are to have more energy, stop binging, feel confident approaching social situations, and be comfortable and confident in their skin.

I am so concerned with making sure you have a positive opinion of me, of making sure you don’t feel weird, of making sure you are comfortable, that, without question, I will put as secondary my own opinion of myself. I will feel weird instead. I will sacrifice my comfort for yours. Of course. This is “polite” after all, right?

It’s unfortunately commonplace in casual conversation to ask women deeply personal questions.

When are you getting married?

When are you having kids?

Have you ever wondered if hiring a coach is a good fit for you?

One common misunderstanding that most people have when it comes to hiring a health coach is that you have to have a huge goal you’re working towards like losing a significant amount of weight, running a marathon, doing a bodybuilding show, or competing at the CrossFit Games. The truth is, whether you’re working towards health, fat loss, performance, or just looking and feeling your best, having a coach alongside you is never a bad idea!

Working from home brings so many benefits like no commute, a more relaxed work environment and the comfort of your own home.

But working from home can also be a huge adjustment for those who have worked in an office environment for years. Staying on task and being productive can be a challenge for people working in their own homes where distractions might be aplenty.
