Starting Small = Big Results on a Whole Life Overhaul
The last blog post apparently raised a LOT of questions. The summary of the post was basically – you gotta know why you are pursuing certain goals or the fire won’t stay lit–it won’t be enough to keep going. [My coach called me out on this a few weeks ago. Sometimes I think I exist […]
Why Our Big Goals Sometimes Crush Our Souls
One of my favorite excuses is: “I don’t have the motivation.” We humans don’t mean anything harmful by that excuse. But it can cause issues. The “lacking in motivation” excuse is as insidious as being a repeat quitter. Once you start quitting, it makes it easier to quit. Once you declare yourself lacking in motivation–well, […]

I was very resistant to CF for many reasons–one big one which was my past in weightlifting. Sometimes the past is best to remain there, after all. I have been swimming, biking and […]

The Year of No Nonsense
Shonda Rimes (producer of shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal) has a great book called The Year of Yes, where she, as a former ‘no to everything’ type gal started to say yes–to events, to invitations and more. She basically started showing up to her own life, and everything changed for her. I know that feeling. I took some […]
