Hey there. Confidence is a choice. That might sound strange, but the truth is, confidence doesn’t come from repeating actions until you eventually believe in yourself. It starts with the belief first. You decide that you are capable, that you can navigate challenges, and that you have what it takes. From there, your actions reinforce that belief instead of being the thing you’re relying on to create it.
Read MoreHey there. Letting go is one of the hardest things to do. As you start connecting with yourself, you begin to notice things that no longer fit…habits, thought patterns, even certain relationships. This is a natural part of growth, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Change happens whether we want it to or not, and resisting it can leave us feeling powerless. Instead of fighting against it, we need to learn how to navigate it in a way that keeps us moving forward.
Read MoreHey there. One of the most powerful things we can do is redirect blame. It’s easy to point fingers at people, situations, or anything else when things don’t go as planned. But shifting all blame onto ourselves isn’t the answer either. While I believe we are ultimately responsible for our lives, even the things we can’t fully control, the goal isn’t to carry unnecessary weight. The goal is to take ownership while letting go of what doesn’t serve us.
Read MoreHey there. You ever feel like you've wasted too much time to change? Like there's some invisible deadline for when you're supposed to have everything figured out? I think we all, at some point, buy into this idea that life has a set timeline. That we need to hit certain milestones at certain ages. And we stick with this belief… until we decide not to.
Read MoreHey there. I talk a lot about taking ownership of your life because it’s one of the most powerful shifts you can make. It’s easy to feel like life is just happening to you, that circumstances beyond your control are dictating everything. And to be fair, there are things we can’t control. But there are also plenty of things we can. When you decide that everything in your life…your actions, your mindset, your choices is your responsibility, things start to change.
Read MoreHey there. I’m frustrated by algorithms. The internet has been part of my life for over twenty-five years, and I’m tired of scrolling and being fed what I’m supposedly wanting to see next. I think a lot of people feel the same way. Especially those of us who are thirty-five and older. We remember what life was like before social media, before smartphones, before the endless loop of algorithm-driven content.
Read MoreHey there. Something I talk about a lot is how, from this point forward, you can go in whatever direction you want. Your life up to this moment has shaped you, but moving forward is your responsibility. You have the power to choose where you go next. It doesn’t matter how you got here. What matters is what you do from here.
Read MoreHey there. There are a lot of things in life that we can’t control. I want to acknowledge that first because today, I want to focus on what we can control. We have the power to take action on the things that will actually change if we put in the effort. And beyond that, it’s about how we view this process. If we believe in ourselves, if we see ourselves as capable, that’s where real change begins.
Read MoreHey there. What I want for everyone, including you, is to be able to appreciate and love the body you are in while you put in the effort to change it. If you are exercising regularly and following an eating plan based on your preferences, your body is going to change. It may not look like someone else's, but it will evolve in a way that works for you.
Read MoreHey there. For the longest time, I was chasing something. Maybe you’ve been chasing too. The belief that one day, if I just did enough, learned enough, or proved enough, I would finally feel like I belonged. I would finally feel like I was enough.
Read MoreHey there. Body dysmorphia is like a ghost that lingers, no matter how much you try to move forward. It’s something I’ve seen over and over in the fitness space. People lose weight, transform their bodies, and yet, when they look in the mirror, they still see their old selves staring back. It’s not just a passing thought. It’s a deep-seated perception that refuses to let go.
Read MoreHey there. If you’re reading this, I want you to know something right off the bat, you’re not behind. You’re not stuck. You’re exactly where you need to be right now.
Read MoreHey there. You have to trust your perspective. That’s something I’ve learned through my own journey, and it’s something I talk about often because it matters in every area of life. But before you can trust your perspective, you need to actually figure out what it is.
Read MoreHey there. Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you spend on your phone? I don’t mean just the moments you’re intentionally checking emails or sending a quick message. I’m talking about the endless scrolling, the notifications that keep buzzing, and the constant pressure to stay connected.
Read MoreHey there. You ever feel like loving yourself is a concept that sounds good in theory, but when it comes to actually doing it, you hesitate? You’re not alone. For a lot of us, especially when we’re on a weight loss journey or trying to “better” ourselves, it feels like loving who we are right now is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. But what if I told you that loving yourself isn’t just a feel-good idea, it’s the foundation for real change?
Read MoreHey there. How curious are you in your day-to-day life? I mean really... do you ever wonder how things work, how people got to where they are, or why certain situations unfold the way they do? Curiosity often gets overlooked as we grow older, but I believe it’s essential for keeping life fresh, keeping us fresh.
Read MoreHey there. Here’s a truth that might be hard to hear but is absolutely essential: You can’t truly appreciate your body until you love yourself first. I know that sounds cliché, maybe even frustrating, especially if you’ve been working hard on your fitness journey and aren’t seeing the results you want emotionally. But it’s the foundation of real, lasting change. Everything starts from the inside out.
Read MoreHey there. What do you really want for yourself? Not what others expect of you, not what society tells you is the “right” path, but what you truly want. It’s a big question, one that many people avoid because it forces them to confront the reality of their choices. But if you never take the time to ask yourself this, you might wake up years from now feeling stuck in a life that was never really yours.
Read MoreHey there. So many people hesitate to start something new because they think they’re not ready. They tell themselves they need more time, more resources, more confidence before they take the leap. But here’s the thing, you already have everything you need to start.
Read MoreHey there. Everyone’s approach to an active lifestyle is different. While structure and consistency matter, what fills that framework has to be based on your preferences and your ability level. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness or nutrition, it all comes down to what works for you.
