Arguably the most common questions I get from both clients and strangers on the internet alike are about supplements. So here we are, finally dedicating a whole episode to them. 

But before we dive in, I want you to know why it’s taken me this long to cover such a hot topic. 

Supplements can not magically compensate for poor nutrition, chronic stress, inadequate sleep, or a sedentary lifestyle. They exist to lend a little ‘oomf’, a little extra support, a little health bump if you will. They can fill some gaps left by poor farming practic...

 A few days ago I was on a call with a new client who was facing a predicament almost everyone faces when trying to make changes to their nutrition and fitness habits.

She delayed scheduling her second call with me because she was embarrassed that even though we laid out a plan for her, she hadn’t followed through with it.

I explained how unbelievably normal this was. So many think if a coach just tells them what to do they’ll be able to go out and immediately crush it. But the truth is no one ever comes to me just needing a plan to follow...

Last week we started a really fun conversation about the 33 lessons I've picked up over the last 33 years. So often I'm in 'coach mode' sharing the facts and figures about how to be healthy.

But if you want to get a little more personal and hear some of the stories that have shaped me, the way I think, and the way I show up for you, all filters are down for these episodes. If you missed last week, start here. Otherwise dive right in to part 2!

On January 19th I turned 33 and it was admittedly an interesting one. 

Did I allow myself a moment at the beginning of the day to mourn the life I thought I’d have by 33 - the house, the husband, the kids? Sure did. 

But then I decided the theme of the day was to follow the joy. 

The joy brought me to my favorite coffee shop with a fantastic book. 

The joy brought me to a reflexology massage and True Food lunch with my friend Brooke. 

The joy brought 6 wonderful women over to my home for a pajama party. These women didn’t know each othe...

I feel like the new year brings with it a conundrum. On the one hand, I think we’re all burned out on setting resolutions. One too many times we’ve found ourselves feeling like a failure come February.

Who wants to relive that shame spiral for the 100th time?

On the other hand, there’s an undeniable shift in the air. We become more reflective around this time of year, thinking about what we want for ourselves in the coming months. And that clean slate is so damn appealing to start anew.

So what’s a girl to do?

In years past, I traded a r...

Last week was rough. My cycle came and with it a huge wave of absolute, pure and utter exhaustion. Like, kept-nodding-off-in-the-chair-while-I-was-getting-my-hair-done exhaustion. 

In this situation, it was absolutely the right call for me to trade my gym session for a walk on the trail. I was still getting movement in, but movement that actually added to my energy instead of depleting it further. 

Don’t get me wrong, skipping the workout is not always the right call. 

For example, if you miss your workouts 5 times a week because you’re a...

I just came back from a 7-day cruise and on the last night my friend Jose asked how disciplined I felt like I was during the trip. 

I said, “I don’t know that ‘disciplined’ is the right word.” Discipline in this context implies willpower, sacrifice, and strict rules. That really doesn’t describe my experience on board. 

The right word? Mindful. Here’s how this looked in practice…

Mindful of my hunger and satiety cues.

With lots of all-you-can-eat buffets it would be easy to go overboard (pun intended). So I regularly asked myself if I wa...
