After my first few dates with Gym Crush, I thought I would be writing a very different story today. 

Over the course of the past few years and hundreds of dates, I've walked away from a lot of people because I know in my gut what it's supposed to feel like when you meet your person, and very few people have even come close. 

My friends often questioned me, assuming I was being overly picky, perfectionistic, or stuck on a fairytale. 

And then Gym Crush happened. 

I had seen him almost every day at Equinox for...

If you looked at me you would never think of me as a 'masculine woman'. I'm a petite blonde who loves pink, and fashion, and flowers, and giggles giddily at puppy dogs.

However, for years I brought a masculine energy to my relationships, and I had no idea how much it was holding me back within my romantic life.

What did this look like for me?

• I would step in and plan the dates or the vacations because I didn't trust that he would do it (or that he would do it 'right').
• If he wouldn't text me...

 Raise your hand if...

• You hate being single. 
• Online dating feels like a slog. 
• You're getting pessimistic about whether or not you'll find someone.
• You loath the thought of going on another first date.
• You're anxious about finding your partner. 
• You find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns in your relationships.

Until my friend invited me to a private speakeasy event that was hosted by...

It's getting close to the end of the year and around this time I always get a bit reflective. I think about what I've learned, what I've overcome, what's changed in my life, and what I want to change in my life. 

And in thinking about this past year, the thing I'm most proud of and the thing that's had the biggest impact on my overall wellbeing is how much I've prioritized my relationships. 

I've said yes to every opportunity to hang out with friends, I booked 7 trips to see friends and family (my...

It's no secret that I love talking about health and weight loss. And while nutrition tips, fitness strategies, and mindset mastery are all major components of that, we can't overlook the important role our relationships play in our wellbeing. 

And with Valentine's day around the corner, I could think of no 2 better people to talk on this subject than my own mom and dad. 

Not only have they been married for 33 years, they have been happily married for 33 years. To this day I brag about...

It's Valentine's week and I decided to spice things up for today's episode of the Life Unleashed Show.

I had the pleasure of interviewing coach Amanda Tull who specializes in helping women have clear, confident, and courageous conversations about sex so we can live in a healthier environment with thriving relationships.

Here are the questions and struggles we covered in the episode:

1. My partner “hounds” me for sex! And while I love them, I’m just so tired and my libido is nonexistent...

Last year at this time I was attempting to launch Fit for Life Academy, an online program I spent 6 months planning for and building out. The launch bombed and I never touched it again.

• Lesson: Stop thinking that just because something doesn't work the first time, it means it's wrong or wasn't meant to be. Persistence, persistence, persistence is key.

I hired my first business coach who helped me get my fitness business largely online (yey), but at the cost of me feeling aligned with my brand. I never wanted to promote...

  • According to a study I came across in the NY Times, when a close friend becomes obese, you are 171% more likely to become obese yourself. 
  • The people around you influence what you view as acceptable, they influence your habits, and because of mirror neurons, we tend to mimic their beliefs and behaviors.
