A lot of people have a problem with happiness: They think they don’t deserve it! Is that you? Are you not good enough to be happy? Do you feel unworthy somehow? Or is it something you’re working really hard to get, and maybe someday if you keep trying…? Sometimes we just need a reminder that we’re good enough to be happy. Worthy enough. And that happiness isn’t a goal we march toward grimly. Because it’s not about being a certain weight, or being able to do this or that, or h

Are you ready for the Summer? That’s a loaded question this year, isn’t it? But despite the uncertainty all around us still, let’s remember that Summer is almost here. What does that mean for your healthy lifestyle? Well, it usually means looking better with fewer clothes on, as we spend more time outdoors, right? And that’s great, of course. But this year, let’s add a touch of grace to our desire to lose a few pounds, grow muscle, or tighten and tone. We’ve all been through

It doesn’t seem fair. You finally made the decision and took the necessary steps to exercise regularly and eat better – but your spouse isn’t supportive. When you’re trying to make lighter meals, he or she insists on the usual. When you want to take a walk, your partner wants to pop another beer. And when you go to the gym, well…you’re on your own. We get it. That’s tough…We’ve even dealt with this ourselves. Here are some tips to help keep you on track. 1. It’s more common t

I want to talk about time some more. It’s not just that it’s on my brain lately – it’s mostly that understanding time is super-important to managing your healthy lifestyle, which takes a little bit of time in itself. Now, I’m not suggesting you take up permanent residence at the gym (if you could). You can incorporate more movement into your daily life in lots of ways. The key is to make a fitness plan and stick to it. Here’s how: Choose convenience. If open, find a gym or st

February is the second month, but it might be first in feelings of self-disappointment. How many times have you felt by this point in a new year that it was all going to be a failure – that, since you already had dropped a resolution or even forgot to make one, that you were doomed to have another year of unmet healthy living aspirations? Well, we’re here to keep you from going down that rabbit hole again. You can still have your fittest year yet. You just have to get your mi

It’s time for Valentine’s Day, and whether you’re single, hooked up, or anywhere in between, that means you’re going to be tempted to eat desserts, chocolate and other treats you might regret later. You’ve probably already seen some of those cookies, cupcakes, and candies on sale. BUT I’ve got your back this year with a trio of healthy Valentine’s Day treats – a chocolate cake, a smoothie, and a sparkling mocktail! I prefer them to the hangovers of empty calories and too muc

From Thanksgiving dinner to Valentine’s chocolates, what do all holidays have in common? Food! We humans have an innate connection between love and food, whether it’s family gathered around a turkey dinner or romance on February 14. Your Mom showed her love by making sure you were well fed You take dates to dinner to impress them You bring a lover breakfast in bed Enough, already! Can’t we find healthier ways to express love and celebrate? And since it’s February, let’s think

I absolutely LOVE getting to know the people in my audience and community better. It’s truly one of the most fun parts of what I get to do. So, let’s get to know each other better, shall we? I want to know 3 things from you and I’ll share about me too 1. What are 3 things that scare you? 2. What are your top 3 favorite songs of all time? 3. Where are 3 places in the world you’d love to visit? Here are mine! 3 things that scare me : 1. Jumping off of high heights 2. Horror fi

Let’s face it. Part of life is awesome, and part is kind of terrible. There are two sides to everything – life/death, happiness/sadness, joy/pain… That list could go on forever. And as humans, we experience all of those things throughout our lives. But you can begin to take back a little bit of control when it comes to the not-so-fun side of life. Of course, tragic events breed sadness – when we lose someone close to us, we can’t help but grieve, and that’s okay. It’s

As if we don’t have enough stress in our lives from 2020, there’s one thing I’m seeing all the time online right now that’s really ruffling my feathers. It’s this idea of food dogma . Everyone seemingly has STRONG and unshakeable, yet highly judgmental positions… Don’t eat fruit. It’ll make you fat. Blue cheese dressing!? You might as well eat a Big Mac & fries. Meat is horrible for you and unnatural for humans to consume. But also…meat should be the basis of your whole
