Let It Roll



Let go of control and roll with it! Something I have been working on in my own life as well with love, relationships and my career. When I am being open, honest, and vulnerable is when the real connections are made and life just flows!

Lessons to Learn





"Lessons keep getting harder until we learn from them."

I heard this quote and it really hit home.  Sometimes we keep living the same horrendous day over and over and don't learn from our mistakes or make changes.  I know my eating disorder was like that.  I would starve myself the whole day, then binge and purge at night. Then repeat. 

We get into habits that are hard to break. Both good and bad habits are ingrained and hardwired into our brains.  Maybe for you it's dating the same type of guy or girl that treats you like crap, ordering more and more stuff you don't need online, avoiding telling you spouse how you really feel, show up to the job you hate every day, and so on... 

The pain we endure will continue until we have fully learned our lesson.  It will keep showing up in our lives until we stand up and have enough courage to break the cycle.  All it takes is standing up for yourself TODAY and then doing the same the next day! I think the hardest part of showing up whole-heartedly in life is worrying about making the wrong decision or upsetting others. The only person you should be living for is yourself. Everything is between you and God or the Universe behind closed doors.  If you are not proud of the person you are know you can change and live a completely different life than before! You are not cursed and are strong enough to break the cycle!! I believe in you! <3

14 Way to Be Less Lonely



14 Ways to Be Less Lonely in a Busy and Isolating World by Trish Blackwell

  1. Acknowledge that you are lonely
  2. Address your personal social needs – investigate where they are not being met
  3. Disconnect from social media, create non-screen time in your life
  4. Pick up the phone and make more phone calls
  5. Write more hand-written cards
  6. Create more space for people in your daily schedule – even for strangers
  7. Cherish little interactions and mundane conversations
  8. Go out of your way for friend dates
  9. Prioritize communication with your significant other
  10. Connect daily without distraction, face-to-face with your significant other
  11. Communicate your social needs to your partner and support them with theirs
  12. Give of your time, heart or love to someone who might be more lonely than you
  13. Focus less on your to-do list and instead value your day based on the quality of your emotional connections
  14. Share your heart and your story openly – you never know how your vulnerability and openness might inspire someone else to realize that they are not alone. (I felt lonely and like I would never be understood until I read Geneen Roth’s books, which changed my life and gave me hope in my eating disorder.)

Holiday Body Love



Please know that on any given day your body can retain four to seven pounds of water weight. We are beings in constant state of change. You will have days which you look awesome and super ripped in the mirror and days you will look and feel bloated.  Other days you will look normal.  If you are a woman add hormonal fluctuations into the mix and be prepared to have your weight fluctuate as well.  Do NOT let what you think you see in the mirror bully your mind or compromise your mood during the day.  Your weight or your complexion does not determine your worth in this world!

Fear and Faith


There are a few podcasts I listen to on a daily/weekly basis when I'm in my car. The three hour drives back to Iowa get my wheels turning! Here are a few notes I took while listening this past weekend on my trip back home. 
"Fear and faith are in constant battle."

 "Transformation happens on the inside. Change happens on the outside."

 "Radical leaps of faith please God."
Our ego is constantly fighting to control us. When we accept new challenges and step out on the unbeaten path we are headed towards our life purpose! The unbeaten path is not easy and it's the road where we continually feel the fear of the unknown. That uncomfortable feeling is where fear and faith collide. TRUSTING and BELIEVING things will work out is the hardest part. Living happens when we "feel the fear and do it anyway!"
