Hey Reader, Lately something strange has happened. And I want you to consider why this matters. I don’t wake up super early anymore. For a very long time I enjoyed walking up anytime between 4am and 6am. I loved to be up before everyone else, get in my morning flow, have my morning tea and time for myself. But, everyone in my house has a much different schedule than we used to. Because of this I’ve been staying up much later than normal and not being able to wake up as early. This was...

Hey Reader! Let's cut to the chase: nothing changes if nothing changes. You can wait. You can tell yourself you’ll start after Valentine’s Day. After things slow down. After you feel more motivated. After you “get it together.” You can wait. But here’s the part most people don’t say out loud: Comfort keeps you stuck. And waiting always costs something. Another month feeling uncomfortable in your clothes. Another cycle of starting and stopping. Another season where you tell yourself, “I’ll get...

Hey Reader, Let’s not sugarcoat this. The beginning is hard. The workouts feel like a struggle. The healthy meals take effort. The routine isn’t second nature (yet). Your body might be sore, your cravings loud, your motivation… nowhere to be found. And that’s normal. Because change sucks at first. Not because you can't do it.Not because you’re weak.Not because it’s the “wrong time.” It sucks because it’s new. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s testing you. 📢But here’s the part I need you to hear:...

Hey Reader, There comes a point where doing this alone just… stops working. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you lack discipline. Not because you “don’t want it badly enough.” But because life is full. Work. Family. Stress. Hormones. Fatigue.And suddenly, the plan you meant to follow gets buried under everything else. Here’s the truth most women don’t hear enough: 👉 Consistency isn’t a personality trait. It’s a supported behavior. When women struggle, it’s rarely about effort. It’s about...

Hey Reader, It’s okay to have reasons why you’re not doing something.We all have them. But instead of pushing them away, what if we looked them in the eye? Sometimes simply understanding why you’re not doing something helps you figure out how to start doing it. This can be about fitness and nutrition or about anything. Here's a great example, and not because I did it but because I didn't. So I've been wanting to be more social lately. I mean I'm a very social person. Well, that is when I'm...

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...
