Do you ever find yourself struggling with self-doubt? I think we all do to some extent. If you ask yourself questions like:  “Where should I start?” or  “What should I do next?” Or “Can I really do this?”  Or, if you have thoughts like:  “I’m not good enough” or  “I always make these kinds of mistakes” …  Keep reading... The thing with self-doubt is -- it’s ...

I wonder if you can relate to this scenario: You’re feeling triggered. Maybe someone said something upsetting to you.  You had a negative experience.  Or you remembered something stressful. Whatever it is, it puts a dent in your day. So. You find yourself reaching for that hidden bar of chocolate. Or a glass of wine. Ok mine is always a vegan one from Plant ...

Have you ever thought...: “Ugh, why should I even try?”?   I mean, I know when you’re constantly working to improve yourself, it can be challenging not to focus on perfection.    You may feel like if you can’t do it perfectly, it’s not worthing doing.   Maybe you even consider not doing it perfectly a  failure.   So, instead of taking that risk, you avoid do...

If you had to rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 as to how well you cope with stress in your work environment, what would your rating be? The truth is: work is complicated. There are multiple levels of stress. These can range from pressure to get your work done (and done well), to navigating different personalities... not to mention the pressure you put on ...

I’ve got a question for you -- do you believe it’s possible to relax even when you’re stressed?   I think there’s a common belief that stress and relaxation are polar opposites.   That you can’t relax at all until you’ve gotten your stress under control.   I’m here to tell you that’s counterintuitive.    Wondering why I say that?   Here’s why -- if you never...

Do you ever have that kind of day? You know the one.   Days when you would rather stay in bed. Or ignore all the calls. Or not show up in your business.   It’s easy to give in to those days, and convince yourself you need a rest. You might be thinking: “I deserve a break.”   I get it. I have those thoughts too.   (Psst- I’ve got a surprise for you at the end...

Raise your hand if you’re someone who is consistently inconsistent.   Seems like something to laugh about, right?   But it’s true! How many times have you said to yourself - I’d be at my weight loss goal by now or I’d be closer to my business goals right now if I could just stick with it?   Which is code for saying -- I need help consistently being consisten...

What if I told you there was one thing that was the key to your success?   Whether it’s something you’re trying to achieve in your life, or in your biz.   It’s a word you’ve heard before. Probably hundreds of times.    The word is (drumroll please) consistency. Did your eyes roll a little when I said that?   Consistency is something we love to hate, isn’t it...

Here’s a fact about me: It’s almost impossible for me to not exercise.   Maybe sweat and cardio movements intimidate you. Maybe the idea of committing to a fitness routine makes your eye twitch. Maybe you’ve never stepped foot into a gym in your life!   If that’s you, I get it.    Even though I’m the opposite, I can understand why not everyone is as passiona...

Does “finding your purpose” sound a little overwhelming? It kinda seems like this distant thing we’re all searching for.... Our brains are designed to find order in chaos.  We search for patterns of meaning in everything. It’s like we’re walking up to everything we love, asking “are you my purpose?” But what if I told you there was a way you could walk throu...

How tired are you of being told to “just be authentic”? 🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚 The whole “authenticity” thing has become pretty repetitive (and annoying) You could turn it into a game with your Instagram feed. Every post you see asking you to be authentic, take a vitamin C shot.  On second thought, don’t play that game. You may not recover. Joking aside, there’s a reaso...

When you began your wellness journey, were you met with resistance?  I definitely was.  In my family, I felt like the black sheep while I pursued holistic modalities to heal my body.  I’m the daughter of a radiologist. Which meant conventional modern medicine was always used to treat everything.  And that amounted to years of me growing more and more depende...

Here’s the truth: essential oils are plant magic. If you’re brand new here, you may have never thought of them that way. But it’s a fact. My personal, restorative journey of trading digestive discomfort and fatigue for freedom is proof of that. But essential oils are only one part of the holistic health story. Over the years, as I began to experience the man...

So, let’s be real. We’ve all been experiencing the emotional roller coaster that’s being called a “global pandemic” in the news. As I’m writing this, most of us have had shelter-in-place orders for well over a month - two months by now. Which means our entire sense of “normal” has been in upheaval for awhile. In fact, it’s gone on long enough that many of th...

Have you ever felt the pressure to “do it all” at once? Like you’re stuck in the “hustle”? Here’s what I mean: You wake up. You instantly feel the pressure of the day.  You don’t even want to check your phone because it’s going to be a visual reminder of all.the.things waiting for you over the next 10+ hours. But you look anyway. And that sense of worry. Of ...

I’ve got a question for you… What if you could wake up in the morning and feel energized and productive? Even a little bit excited at the prospect of starting your “work” day? What would that do to your attitude and mood if the first few moments in the morning were spent feeling calm?  Collected?  Prepared? These don’t have to be “what if” questions. It is p...

I have a bold claim for you: gratitude journaling literally has the power to shift your entire life.  How can I make this claim? Well, to start, there have been scientific studies demonstrating this fact.   Their conclusion?  The simple act of focusing on gratitude has the ability to rewire your brain.  Yes. It can create brand new neural pathways in your br...

Before I became certified as a Holistic Health and Life Coach, I had a career as a Pilates and yoga instructor. In addition to working with clients one on one and instructing group classes, I also held the position as Mind-Body Coordinator for a major health club.  It was my job to make sure my students had access to classes that were both challenging but do...

How are you doing this week so far? If you’re like me, some days are great. Other days feel like they’ll never end. And other days feel normal (even though I know they aren’t really).  We’re all still navigating this strange and new time. I hope as you’re building new routines, you’re making time to check in with yourself mentally. Now’s the time to prioriti...

If you’re someone who has trouble letting stuff go, this post is for you. If you find yourself constantly questioning your own decisions - whether it’s in your personal life, or in your business -- this post is for you. If you get a pang of worry after you send someone a text and they don’t respond to it immediately … your first internal reaction is “what di...
