Not Feeling Motivated?


3 Reason Why You Aren't Feeling Well: 

1. Fatigue: This could be a type of  hangover-affect from not enough self-care: less than ideal diet, not enough sleep, water, downtime, too much sugar, alcohol, caffeine, or etc. 


2. Reaction: Someone was rude to you, you received a negative email or social media comment, horrible traffic, your spouse set you off before you walked out the door... 


3. Ruminating: On the past, mistakes, negative thoughts and self-talk. You are letting doubt stop you. Acknowledge them, forgive yourself, and level up so you can grow! 


How to Fix It: 


Move your body! Change your physical location: go to the gym and exercise, take a quick walk outside, head to a local coffee shop or library. 


Set an intention for the next hour-one thing you can do for a "win" to make you feel better. Examples: Complete one item on your to-do list, send a positive, encouraging text to someone who has helped you, make a list of gratitudes, sign-up for a personal development or fun social event, watch a funny YouTube video, take a long shower, meditate, drink some green juice or a nutritious smoothie!  


Listen to a positive audio-book or podcast! A few of my favorites: The School of Greatness, Earn Your Happy, The Ziglar Show, The Tony Robbins Podcast, Joyce Meyer, Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod, The Confidence Podcast, Body Kindness.

What Girls Need to Know



There is so much more to a person than their physical beauty! The work I've been doing with girls in the school system and community revolves around this topic. These kids are hurting and we have to build them up! Teach them they are worthy and matter just by being born!

Three Words That Could Save a Person's Life





Those three words could have helped me tremendously when I was in the deepest part of my eating disorder.  Most of my friends stopped talking to me and my relatives never knew what to say.  When people get cancer, someone passes away, or has some type of medical issue we are quick to drop off food, send prayers and thoughts to let them know we are thinking about them, but metal health issues are hushed.  I don't recall anyone sending cards, casseroles, or offering help and support to me and my family when they knew I was struggling.  It's typically the same with suicides, anxiety, and depression.  

"Are are okay?" can make a huge difference in someone's life! Show people you care. Check in on them if your gut thinks something is off! YOU could save a life! 



*Be sure to seek help from a qualified professional if you ever have thoughts of harming yourself or others.

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!

Honoring Your Body


Though our culture is obsessed with health and fitness, it’s not always for the right reasons. True health is not about looking good on the outside but treating our bodies with the respect and care they deserve, so they function at optimum performance! What we eat, how much we sleep, and how often we exercise all have an effect on our body’s overall function.

We need to listen to our bodies instead of listening to the external cues about how we should live, what we should eat, who we should be friends with, and etc. 

Are you hungry? Eat.

Are you sad? Cry. Vent. 

Are you lonely? Call a friend or your Mom. Join a group. Date. 

Are you tired? Go to bed earlier. Take a nap. Skip a day at the gym. 

Are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Say no. Cancel plans. Stay home. Take a walk in nature. Turn off your phone. 

Are you feeling not good enough? Spend time with those who lift you up. Our biggest cheerleaders might not be our family or the friend you have known the longest. 


Remember- "Doing more" doesn't necessarily mean you will "be more." Fill your own cup before you try to disperse the little you have left to others!
