“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?

Likely due to the stress of the holidays coupled with increasing volume and suboptimal sleep. – Resistance to adaptation has happened a couple times in my training and each time it generates some fear and frustration.

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”
