I was pretty thrown off recently when I read somewhere that everyone suffers, but their suffering is categorized into good or bad. For example, the “good” suffering is choosing to live a healthy, active life through discipline and hard work. The “bad” suffering is deciding to eat unhealthy and lead a sedentary lifestyle. I do […]
Although I preach the importance of rest and recovery to my clients, it is something that I struggle to do myself! My mind is constantly on my to-do list, and if I’m not taking action to accomplish whatever is on the list for that day, I feel like I’m doing myself a disservice. But this […]
I recently went down to Mexico for a nice long vacation – 8 days total, full of rest and relaxation. On all of my past vacations (last year included), I always felt a sense of longing to stay on vacation and dreaded returning to “real life”. Those last few days of trips are normally centered […]

There’s something to be said about trusting your intuition and knowing that you have the power to control your destiny. I most definitely believe that we create our own opportunities for ourselves and pave our own path to our purpose. However, I also believe that there is a force inside all of us guiding us […]
The easiest thing in the world is to do what’s comfortable – to stay in your bubble of what you know, and to just “get by”. This is especially easy if you have a pretty good set up already – solid income coming in from a regular 9-5 job, the occasional vacations that you take […]
Why I Took 2 Months off… I started my coaching business based on the premise of creating and sustaining permanent results through healthy, clean eating and BALANCE.
