Hello Reader, You know what feels amazing in the moment? Comfort. Routine. Staying right where you are. But you know what doesn’t happen in that space? Growth. That’s the hard truth most people avoid. We crave change—but we also crave comfort. And the two rarely live in the same room. Want to get stronger? You’ve got to push through that last rep. Want to lose weight? You’ve got to step away from the default habits keeping you stuck. Want more energy, confidence, freedom in your body? That’s...

Hi Reader, Have you ever heard this? “No days off, man!” (In my deepest voice… could you hear it? 😂) Yeah… sounds like something I’d hear in a bad gym meme, and yet, some part of that mindset is still hanging on in fitness culture. Let’s set the record straight: Muscle growth doesn’t happen during the workout. It happens when you rest. Recovery is where the magic happens.In fact, even something as simple as a short nap can increase growth hormone release, helping with muscle repair, energy...

Hey Reader, You’ve been showing up. You’re getting your workouts in. But… are you actually challenging your muscles enough to see real progress? So here’s the truth: If you’ve been lifting the same weights for weeks (or months!) without any changes, you might be missing out on the results you deserve. So, when should you increase weights? ✔️ If you can easily hit the max reps in your rep range without struggling ✔️ If you feel like you could do a few extra reps without losing form ✔️ If your...

Hey Reader, Today, I had to have a little heart-to-heart with myself. I’d eaten healthy all day. Got my workout in. And I had a plan for dinner. But when you’ve got five kids over 17 living at home… Let’s just say I don’t always have full control over what ends up in the house. 😅 So there I was, standing in the kitchen, thinking: “You know what? Who cares. I’ve been good all day. It’s not that big of a deal.” And honestly? In the grand scheme of things, it’s not. But then I paused. I reminded...

Hey Reader, Let’s talk about something that’s sabotaging your goals—and you might not even realize it. This is really relevant to me this week because this is the “Birthday Week”!!! I call it the Birthday week because tomorrow is my brother Eddies birthday, then two days later is my son Ricky’s 22nd birthday on the 22nd. Cool right!! Then two days later is my nephews birthday and two days after that is my other brother Jordan's birthday. Whew. There are more birthdays this week but i’m just...

Hey Reader, The year things finally changed for most women… Wasn’t loud.Wasn’t extreme.Wasn’t fueled by “all or nothing” energy. It was quiet.Intentional.And supported. It looked like: showing up even when motivation dipped following a plan instead of guessing having someone help adjust instead of quitting choosing progress over perfection That’s how confidence is built. Not in a week. Not in January alone. But through consistent, supported action. If you’re tired of: starting strong and...

Hey Reader, By now, the New Year motivation buzz is starting to fade. That doesn’t mean you’re failing.It means you’re human. If you've been following me for a while you know I don't do the whole New Years Resolution thing. I'm anti-alot of things most people do and that's a big one. Hear me out though... I'm all for the fresh start and looking at where I need to put more focus or what I've been neglecting. For me that's been work related projects and feeding my brain more. I know you guys...

Hey Reader, If motivation was the answer, most women wouldn’t still be stuck. Because let’s be honest — you want to feel better. you want to be consistent. you want this to finally stick. And yet… Every year starts the same way: A burst of motivation. A plan that looks good on paper. A few strong weeks… …and then life shows up. Here’s what I’ve learned after coaching hundreds of women over 40: 🔥 Motivation gets you started. Structure is what keeps you going. Without structure: You rely on...

Hey Reader, Let’s reset something real quick. You don’t need: A perfect routine A flawless meal plan A full hour workout Or an all-or-nothing mindset You need one solid next step. That’s it. Because progress doesn’t come from big declarations — it comes from repeated follow-through on small decisions. Here’s what that might look like today: A 10-minute walk Drinking a full glass of water before coffee One protein-focused meal A short strength session instead of skipping entirely Going to bed...
