As the colder days settle in, the allure of cocooning under a cozy blanket is real. I get it; it's tempting to let the day drift by in hibernation mode. But let's not make that our winter anthem! Even though I live is sunny Southern California, I still get cold, even without snow and below freezing temperatures 😉 But I do look forward to visiting my grandkids next month in the snow! Here are some ideas to keep you moving and grooving all season long, whether you're inside or

It’s so easy in our busy world to constantly be thinking about something other than what you’re doing. To distract yourself with Instagram or TikTok. To text a friend instead of talking with the person in front of you. To worry about tomorrow, or that time last week when you did or didn’t do that thing… It’s all part of the emotional disjointedness of modern living. But when you’re not mentally present in each moment of your life, when your bodies are here but your thoughts a

I think it's safe to say that many people have a bit of a "love-hate" relationship with the holidays, especially when it comes to food. You adore the traditions, the beloved family recipes – Even those epic feasts, right? But you also have that little voice in your head warning about overindulgence. You want to enjoy the season’s delights, but you’re worried about undoing months of hard work in just a few weeks. This year, shift your perspective. Try to see the holidays as a

Benjamin Franklin famously said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” He was talking about fires in Philadelphia, but he could’ve been talking about personal health as well. Unfortunately, since Franklin’s time, modern healthcare practices focus more on treatment of existing problems than on preventing them. “Get sick? Take a pill” seems to be the way we look at everything. It’s also a common approach people take to their own health. I’ll smoke till something ba

A common concern I frequently encounter among those inquiring about my coaching, is changing a soft body (commonly referred to by so many as “skinny fat”) into a firm body. Many people share their frustration with me about putting so much effort into exercising multiple days per week while paying attention to their caloric intake, but still not seeing the physical results they desire… And you may be experiencing the same issue. It's important to understand that achieving your

Today I want to spark your inner fire, providing you with the fuel to overcome obstacles and ignite your passion. Everyone needs motivation, even myself, and it's not a one-time fix. Motivation, like self-discipline, requires consistent practice as both thrive on one crucial factor: ACTION! We can think and fantasize all we want, but if we don’t take action, nothing will come of our thoughts. Action must be taken, and that action must be consistent over time. And I'm not talk

Last weekend my husband and I went hiking at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas. I also did an extra hike up Lone Mountain as well. It was beautiful, challenging, and I loved it! The fall scenery is beyond breathtaking but let me tell you a little secret. Hiking during this season is not just about enjoying the beauty of changing leaves. It's like a secret treasure chest of fitness waiting to be discovered! So, imagine this: You, your friends or some well-deserved "me time," and th

I hope you've been having an amazing 2023 so far! Can you believe we're already in the final stretch of the year? Well, get ready because fall is here… Cooler temperatures, more foliage, and the chance to snuggle up in cozy clothes. No matter what your autumn jam is, there's no need to let this season mess with your healthy groove. In fact, I see it as the perfect opportunity to take stock of your progress, make some fun tweaks, and dive into something new. So, let's dive int

Are you the kind of person who’s always saying “Yes” to requests when you secretly mean, “Heck, no?” Do you apologize for things that aren’t your fault? And, here we go… Do you suppress your desires or even totally normal “negative” reactions because you’re worried somebody might not like them? If you’re nodding your head, then let’s chat about this “people pleasing” tendency. That’s the completely common behavior of trying to anticipate what other people want from you so y

Human beings love stories. Let's talk about stories – the stories you tell yourself every day with you as the lead character. See, from the earliest cave paintings to Netflix, we humans have always craved stories -- following characters as they overcome challenges to fulfill their dreams. And guess what? You're the protagonist of your own story! We’re all crafting stories about ourselves all the time. But here's where we often miss the mark – we mistake fleeting thoughts for

When we’re exercising and eating right, there’s a lot of talk about calories. But all calories are not created equal. And simply counting calories isn’t the best way to managing your food choices. But understanding macronutrients – such as protein, carbs and fat – will help you make smarter choices for you in the food you prepare, buy and consume. Here’s the breakdown. A single gram of protein has 4 calories. It’s the same for carbohydrates. Each fat gram contains 9 calorie

There might not be a “secret” to getting everything you want. But there is a first step that is absolutely necessary for anyone who’s not relying on guessing the lottery numbers. The path to gaining everything you want starts with making a powerful decision – and then backing it up with aligned actions every single day. You see, we believe that what holds you back is mostly about one thing: A lack of clarity. It’s not a lack of ability or talent or heart or character. But unt

Remember the summers of childhood? Lots of fun in the sun, playing outside, watching TV late into the night… What about the food that went along with the fun? Plenty of sodas, right…? And sugary popsicles and slushies on bike rides to the convenience store… and ice cream in front of the TV… Let’s face it. Childhood summers might have been dreamy, but the junk food we loved? Total nightmare! But now, as adults and in a more health-conscious era, it’s easy to find healthy alter

Summer is such a great time for inspiration. You don’t have to look far to find motivation everywhere. The sun makes you feel good… the vibe is relaxed… and we’re more encouraged to exercise and eat right because we typically wear less clothing, right? We have our eyes opened by travel. We reconnect with distant family and friends. We relax into the longer days and evenings. Don’t you wish you could bottle the motivation for the rest of the year? Well, you can, with the right

We all have a sense of identity of who we are. For instance, you might be an American. You might also be a parent. You could be a spouse, too. You could be a writer. Some parts of our identity are given to us and fixed, but others we choose on our own – often without realizing we’re making a choice. So, let’s think about the choices we make that affect our identity. What are those choices based on? We believe they’re based on what we want and how we limit our chances of suc
