Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Intensity can feel really productive, but consistency is what actually produces results over time. When the new year hits, it’s enticing to come out the gates hot, ready to completely overhaul our entire lifestyle. Sustainable habit change is about developing skills you can come back to … More Consistency > Intensity
The holiday season is over, and it’s back to regular programming until the days get longer and we can finally taste hints of spring and summer again… This past holiday season, my children were watching kids’ chef shows, and they subsequently took to the kitchen with a flair of creativity. My entire kitchen turned into … More CANDY CANE SHARDS 🎄
My God, this past decade was a gruelling blessing. I took the goal of 𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕘 the woman I want to be very seriously. Taking action to become is much like therapy. If it’s not painful, you’re probably not doing it right. It began with a list of all the attributes I wanted to be. And … More 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝟜𝟘…
My grandpa passed away in 2010 at the age of 95 (my grandma subsequently in 2017 at the age of 96). Writing that sentence, I still feel overcome with grief. When my grandpa passed away, I grieved his death deeply — to the extent that I felt a persistent ache in my throat for months … More Starve the Emptiness & Feed the Hunger
This past summer I went on a trip to Jasper, AB with my friend Monika. I had just ended the ultimate off again, on again, mind-fuck of a relationship and while the trip had originally been planned as a getaway for him and I, my tolerance for “narcissistic-douche-canoe” had hit its limit. So, I finally … More The Mountains Were Calling (And I Dumped A Guy)
“Love yourself.” From self-help to social media, self love and self acceptance have become a trendy statement. Ironically, the publicly posted selfie is often coupled with #selflove and yet, the post itself solicits love, likes and approval from followers. Which begs the question, would you need that validation if you truly loved yourself? Love yourself, … More #SELFLOVE is Bullshit
“Everything will be okay, because I have HIM. As long as HE is by my side, it doesn’t matter how things turn out because together WE’LL make it through and be okay.” As a wife, this is what I believed about my husband, my marriage and my life. Leaning into this idea displaced a substantial … More NOW WHAT?

I train 6 days a week. The words “gym” and “workout” are commonplace in our home. – For a while, my conscience struggled to guiltlessly embrace time in the #gym because it also meant time away from my children and it occasionally felt “selfish.” I have worked on and curtailed those feelings by clearly defining … More “𝕊𝕋ℝ𝕆ℕ𝔾 𝕃𝕀𝕂𝔼 𝕄𝕆𝕄𝕄𝕐”
