Last weekend I had the awesome privilege to attend a Leadership Retreat thrown by my mentor Becka and co-led by another amazing coach, who I have long looked up to, Katie. It was a reward trip for all of the top leaders on both teams and a much needed break and time of envisioning for Read More
Things have been a little hectic around here. That’s the one (somewhat) downside to homeschooling, where other mom’s are enjoying a little more freedom with school starting back up, homeschooling moms have another full time job added to their plate. I have to admit, it’s been a rocky re-entry to school life. Here’s what I’ve Read More
It’s a strange thing, to be re-starting my “fitness journey”. Not that I ever really stopped. I worked out my entire pregnancy, ate mostly clean (those pregnancy cravings tho) and felt good! But still…my body is wider, flabbier and heavier. I’m not saying this in an “I hate my body” type of way! On the Read More
My whole life I told myself: “I’m not good at math.” English was fun because even though learning grammar was a drag, I got to write stories and there was some sort of interesting thread of language that I enjoyed.

I am so excited for this round of the 21 Day Fix. I am doing it in the last 21 days of my pregnancy and honestly this will be a REALLY challenging time for me – husband out of town, my son’s birthday, oh and I’m about to give birth – but I know when Read More
I’ve recently started an exercise at the beginning of each day and it’s been pretty transformative to me so I thought I’d share it! For a while now I’ve been feeling a little (ok a lot) overwhelmed with my to-do list. Every morning waking up and thinking: “Ok, what do I need to DO today?” Read More
“Today is going to be different!” I thought, as I woke up, 5:30am. I dove into my morning routine, reading scripture, reading a good book, getting to work on my fitness coaching business – feeling productive and proud of myself. I had just come off of a difficult three days and I was determined to Read More
