Choose Your Top 5 "Influencers" Consciously
You’ve set goals. You’re super psyched. And then you tell your family and friends about it and …
whomp whomp.
Much to your surprise, they aren’t super psyched. In fact, they might even roll their eyes and say something like “here we go again” or “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
And some may even get upset about your goals … because it could mean fewer nights out or changing up your family routine!
It’s pretty normal for this to happen.
In fact, it’s one of the top concerns I hear from n…

Don't Get Ahead of Yourself
“Don’t get ahead of yourself.”
That phrase used to drive me crazy when I was a kid! It felt like grown-ups were always trying to hold me back.
But they weren’t. They wanted me to reach my goals – and I’m sharing this with you today to help YOU reach your own goals.
→ The only thing you can control is what you do TODAY.
It’s human nature to want to speed ahead – to focus on where you want to be, instead of where you are now.
But the fastest route to your goals is to focus on TODAY.
Your act…
Keep Going!
Keep going!
If you’re struggling right now with your goals, it’s NORMAL.
Keep going.
If you’ve slipped up with your “clean eating” goals, make sure the VERY NEXT thing you eat is a healthy choice. Remember: you’re always just one meal or snack from a healthy diet.
If you’re feeling *this close* to giving up any of your other healthy habits – just keep going.
It’s not about striving for perfection. NO ONE is perfect – we ALL struggle. It’s part of being human.
But what separates those who …

Your Mindset and Your Results
I read an interesting study the other day that uncovered something pretty incredible about how our bodies work.
Take a look at this…
Scientists gave a group of people a shake to drink.
Half of the group was told the shake was LOW in calories and nutrients...
While the other half was told it was HIGH in calories and nutrients.
As you might have guessed, everyone was given the exact same shake.
Now here’s where it gets interesting.
The group who thought they got the low-calorie shake was …
Confessions
I’ve got a big confession for you today … and yes, this happens to coaches, too.
The other day I was just not into being “healthy.” I wasn’t in the mood for the lunch I made … the dinner I planned … or getting outside for some fresh air.
I don’t know why, exactly, but I was dreading it, and I kept finding things to do INSTEAD of what I had originally planned.
It wasn’t because I needed a day off. It was just one of those days.
So here’s what I did …
I laced up my sneakers and went outside f…
Natural Anxiety Relief
Did you know that reports of anxiety are up 25% over the past couple of years?
I personally think this number is low since anxiety shows up in different ways for different people … and it’s not always easy to recognize it as anxiety.
A few ways it can show up: feeling restless or agitated, having headaches and/or unexplained pains, trouble focusing, feeling tired, disrupted sleep, worrying, or rolling the same-old, same-old thoughts over and over in your head.
One of the best natural ways to …
You're Welcome! My 3-Step Excuse Buster
Has this ever happened to you before?
You’re planning on making dinner after work … but as soon as it’s time to start cooking, you start to think:
- I'm too tired
- I don’t know what to make
- I'm too hungry to wait that long
- I have too much to do
- I'm stressed
- I really just want to watch something on Netflix
- etc.
And you’re tempted to give in and hit the drive-through (or make the takeout call).
I get it!
By the end of the day, making dinner can seem like a LOT of effort in your head…
