I’m in the transformation business, and you often see me posting before and after photos of health, beauty, and fitness transformations. While some people find them inspiring, others are deflated. Just as you wouldn’t compare a watermelon to a walnut, a cat to a canary, or a burrito to a fudge brownie, you should not […]
What is holding us back? FEAR We live our lives in fear. Almost everyone is controlled by fear every day, without even realizing it. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of judgment. Fear of being inadequate. Fear of injury. A little healthy fear is a good thing. It keeps us from doing dumb things […]
We’ve all set goals for one thing or another. Some we’ve reached, some we’ve gone hard on but fell short, and some we’ve given up on. 99% of the time, you will find that the people who have hired coaches, trainers, mentors, or linked arms with like-minded people who have a similar goal or drive, […]
This year the holidays did me in. After two years of shutdowns and shut-ins, we were all anxious to gather and celebrate. Some of us went overboard. I know I did. It doesn’t take much of a change in your routine to derail you from your faithful daily schedule, and getting back on track isn’t […]

They included taking down walls, custom cabinets, granite countertops, and new appliances.I was in the middle of “Marie Kondoing” my entire […]
This week I did a workshop on ten ways to believe in yourself.The positive feedback was overwhelming on one particular point.Find Your 5. Who are the five people you spend most of your time with? If you stop and think about it, you may be surrounding yourself with people who “love” you but aren’t helping […]
You know the saying, winners never quit, and quitters never win.Sounds easy enough, but staying in the game is more complicated than it seems.For example, elite athletes can run a marathon in just over 2 hours. 26.2 miles is quite a distance to cover in that amount of time. But do you know what else […]
For years I over-salted my food. As I sprinkled away, tongue in cheek, I’d loudly announce, “I am a runner.”My justification was that runners sweat massively, losing tons of sodium, so we needed extra salt.Even though I haven’t run much at all in nearly three years, I still use that line.The truth is, I love […]
