I know better than to do this, especially when I’m focusing on Fat loss…

Hey Reader, So most of you know I prioritize sleep. BUT that doesn’t mean I always sleep well. Sometimes I can do everything right and still have a crappy night sleep. Especially if my brain has so much it wants to babble about. So here’s what happened… I stayed the night at my moms and she wanted to take my daughter out for ice cream after dinner. I’ve been staying away from any sweets the last week or so. Not a full on sugar detox, or even a full no added sugars detox, which is usually what...

Hey Reader, You know what’s harder than working out? Staying consistent with it. Life gets busy. Work, family, and responsibilities pile up. And before you know it, your health goals take a backseat—again. That’s exactly why online personal training is changing the game. The fall has always been a time that I get really on track with my workouts and eating habits. I crave routine and September usually gives me that. Even so sometimes the beginning is really tough for me. I can’t always count...

Hey Reader, You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You just don’t have time… right? Time is the number one reason most women and men too, who want to get fit, get strong, or get healthy haven’t started. And I get it. You’re working, caregiving, commuting, cleaning, planning, doing LITERALLY everything for everyone else. But here's the thing most people won’t say out loud: If you don't make time for your health now, you're going to be forced to make time for illness later. Tough love, but...

Hey Reader, Let’s get real— There are days when the last thing you want to do is work out. You’re tired, stressed, moody, anxious... and maybe you think you need a full hour to make it “worth it.” But here's something you might not know: Just 10 minutes of movement can improve your mood. Seriously. Researchers have found that even a single short workout—between 10 and 60 minutes—has a positive effect on your mood. It doesn't just help in the long term. It helps right now (Crush et al., 2018;...

Hey Reader! If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with healthy habits, I’ve got a simple trick that can make a HUGE difference—habit stacking. This has become quite popular so you’ve likely heard of it and maybe even tried it before. So let’s get into it… 💡 What’s habit stacking? It’s the practice of linking new habits to ones you already do, making it easier to stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed. Here’s How to Make It Work for You: 🔹 Start Small – Instead of overhauling...

Hey Reader! I’m going to tell you something important—not just about working out or eating healthy (though yes, it applies)—but about life. When I finished writing this email, I realized it's long for our rushed world. So if you’re tempted to skim, I get it—but trust me, it’s worth the read. In 2020, I was not a plant lady. But I figured if I was going to be stuck inside I needed to bring a bit of nature home. I bought a bunch of plants and did the same thing when we moved into our new...

Hey Reader, Let’s talk about something that’s easy to ignore but hard to live with: that nagging feeling that you’re capable of more—but something keeps getting in the way. Maybe it’s: Perfectionism (if it’s not perfect, why bother?) Fear of failure (what if I try and it doesn’t work?) Comparison (I’m never gonna look like that—what’s the point?) Self-doubt (I’ve failed before, I’ll just fail again…) Here’s the truth: None of these are the real problem. They’re symptoms of being stuck. And...

Hey Reader, What if I told you that eating more could actually help you shed extra pounds and boost your metabolism? Sounds crazy, right? But that’s exactly what happens when you reset your metabolism with a strategy called reverse dieting (or as I call it, a Metabolic Reset). If you’ve ever: ❌ Slashed calories only to see your weight loss stall… ❌ Felt constantly hungry and low-energy after dieting… ❌ Gained weight back after a period of eating less… Then your metabolism may need a reset....

Hey Reader! Let’s get real for a second. The women I work with don’t fail because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They don’t struggle because they “don’t want it bad enough.” They struggle because everything they’ve been taught about health and fitness makes it feel hard. Hard schedules.Hard diets.Hard workouts. But here’s what I’ve learned after years of coaching women over 40: If it’s not simple, it won’t stick.If it’s not realistic, it won’t last. The key to long-term success? Make it easy to...

Hey Reader! Ever felt like if you can’t do a full workout, eat perfectly, or stay 100% on track, then you might as well do nothing at all? That’s the all-or-nothing trap, and it’s one of the biggest reasons people struggle to make lasting progress. The truth? You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be consistent. Here’s How to Break Free from the All-or-Nothing Mindset: ✅ Redefine Success: Success isn’t about doing everything perfectly—it’s about doing something consistently. A...
