Do you wish your mornings getting the kiddos ready for school were calmer? I used to as well.

Mine went from chaotic and frantic to calm and in control (with the ability to handle unplanned meltdowns over what to wear - you would think that wearing a uniform would avoid these but surprisingly they don’t).

The keys to my success? Creating calm in my mind and a successful morning routine that suits my family and me.

How I did it? By managing my brain.

I figured out that my morning routine would work well if I got up earlier than anyone else in the house.

But initially my brain retaliated and wanted to sleep later like everyone else. And that’s a totally normal thing for brains to do.

So I went to work to figure out why I wanted to set up this routine and what the result of it would be.

And then I got to work desiring that more than staying in bed.

You see it’s very normal to hit the snooze button and say I’ll try again tomorrow or next Monday.

But if I did that I would be in the same place as I always was.

If I wanted less chaos and more calm then I had to do something different.

And to do different things, you need to manage your mind.

This is how I help my clients and why I love and believe in coaching so much. There’s a reason why people say ‘change is hard.’ It literally is hard for our brains to do something different. Having support though the change to keep you on track and moving towards your goals helps you get there faster.

If you’re trying to do something new and different and want to learn how coaching support will help you, send me a message to set up a free consult. In this call we will talk about what results you want to create and I will let you know how I can help you create them.

When I was going through IVF and trying so hard to have a baby, one of the things I thought of was how much fun I would have with my children one day.

I envisioned walks in the park, fun shopping sprees and endless playtime.

But what I didn’t realize is that life and work still happen and chores still need to be done.

The endless time spent doting on my kids was a fantasy.

And what happened in reality was when I was doing chores I was feeling guilty for not spending time with my girls. And when I was spending time with my girls, I thought about everything else I ‘should’ be doing.

I was not being intentional with my time nor was I being present with what I was actually doing.

This created a lot of stress.

But once I learned how to be present with what I was actually doing, whether it be coloring with my girls or working, everything changed.

I now have much more fun.

My focus increased and I’m much more productive in the time I have.

This is exactly the work I do with my clients.

I teach them how to be intentional with their time so they can create what they want in their life.

We tend to think we need more time in the day. What I’m saying is we need to change the way we’re spending our time.

If this resonates and you’re ready to do this work, send me a message.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner.

How are you planning to spend your day?

You are worthy and your needs are important and deserve to be prioritized.

I talk to so many women who put themselves last.

After taking care of their family they don’t have the time, money or energy to take care of themselves.

But this is backwards.

Mom’s needs should be prioritized alongside the family’s needs.

When this happens everyone wins.

Because when Mom takes care of herself she is better equipped to take care of everyone else.

If you struggle with this and desire to make a change, I can help. I support my clients each week as they come to our calls with everything that’s going on in their life. I teach them how to have power over whats going on and create what they intentionally want in life.

If this resonates, the first step is to set up a consult call. We’ll talk about what’s going on in several areas of your life and what you would like to happen. I will create a custom plan to help you get there. And if you love this custom plan then we’ll talk about working together and what that would look like.

The first step is the consult call. Send me a PM to set this up.

is inevitable for us women.

But suffering through it is not.

If it’s considered “normal” to have these symptoms then I don’t want to be normal. And you don’t have to be either.

Symptoms:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Mood swings
Brain fog
Thinning hair
Poor sleep
Unexplained weight gain
Low libido

If you’re ready to break free from being “normal.” I can help. I work with women to improve their health so they don’t have to deal with these symptoms. Send me a PM to learn more.

My friend (and one of my favorite massage therapists), Andrea Tweten, is hosting the first monthly Unspoken Hour this Friday, 4/24, from 6:30pm-8pm.

This event was designed to create a community of women to come together and talk about anything and everything.

As women we’re taught that some topics or questions should not be brought up.

But not here…

This is a safe space that’s open and judgement free.

We come together to discuss things that feel uncomfortable. Just bring your perspective, your curiosity and your willingness to go there.

A topic that we’ll dive into this Friday is Generational Health and I am honored to talk about this. Health and wellness is such a passion for me and I could talk endlessly about it.

When I learned that our health is impacted by our parents and grandparents and so on, I was fascinated. And I love that knowing this gives us the opportunity to positively impact the health of our children and children's children 💛

Send me a message and I’ll send you the details.

Are your mornings chaotic? Mine used to be as well until I started doing these 2 things.

“Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that testing your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4

If there is something that you want and you’re struggling to get it, persevere and keep going.

And if you want support along the way, I can help. As a health and life coach I help my clients get the results they’re dreaming about. Send me a PM if you’d like to chat to see what working together on your goals looks like.

As high achieving women, we like things under control. And when they’re not, we at least like for it to appear like we do.

So when we feel out of control around what we’re eating, it can send us into a spiral—and trying to control it usually just makes it worse.

I’ve been there.

I used to open the Halloween candy ahead of time to just have a few and I would end up eating half the bag. I experienced lots of shame around this and I beat myself up about it (not to mention I had to go out and buy more candy). I couldn’t even have it in my pantry without constantly thinking about it. It literally consumed my thoughts.

And now, I am able to have the Easter candy sit on the shelf without any thoughts about it. I can have one piece of candy and move on or have none at all.

To get to this place, I realized I didn’t need more control or willpower around my eating.

I needed to calm my nervous system.

It went into stress mode whenever food was around, especially chocolate and treats.

Once I created safety in my body I was released from the food fear and overconsuming that brought on so many negative emotions. I am now able to eat my meals, be around food at gatherings, and have treats and snacks in my house without any stress and worry. My body remains calm... it is truly freeing.

If my experience resonates with you, and you also want this food freedom, send me a message. This is exactly the work I do with clients to reduce stress in their lives and calm their nervous systems.

Is there something you’ve been wanting to do? Or a result that you’ve been dreaming about that consumes your thoughts day in and day out?

But when you think about achieving this, do you feel overwhelmed by what it would take or the time it would take to accomplish this goal? Does it keep you frozen because you don’t know if you may ever get what you want?

This is what fear and overwhelm do. They keep our goals and dreams living in our brains. And the lie they tell us is that if we go for it and don’t achieve it then we would feel even worse.

But that is not true.

In reality, being where you are now is actually the hardest place to be.

Our brains like to keep us safe and stuck by not taking any action or making any decisions. And when we have this desire for something more, we have an internal struggle - go after it or not.

Think about it. What would happen if you went for it? You’d either achieve it or not. What would happen if you didn’t go for it? You wouldn’t achieve it.

Not only are the odds better if you go after your dreams but you will have a lot more internal peace and have no regrets. You will learn so much along the way (from the wins and failures) and you will be the person who goes after her dreams.

Contrast that with not going for it.

What goal or dream do you have that is living in your mind? What would it be like to go after it? What does it look like to not go after it? Really sit with it and think about it. Play these scenarios out in your mind.

This is exactly the kind of work I walk women through—moving from stuck and overthinking to feel safe enough to actually go after what they want.

If this is where you are, send me a message. We can map out what your next step could look like.

My friend, Andrea Tweten, is hosting

The Unspoken Hour.

It’s a monthly gathering where we talk about the things we’ve been taught not to talk about.

We gather to ask the questions that feel uncomfortable, unclear, or unanswered—and explore them together in a space that’s open, honest, and judgment-free.

You don’t need the “right” words or a perfect story.

Just bring your curiosity, your perspective, and your willingness to go there.

This month I will be talking about Generational Health.

Come and ask me any questions you have about how patterns and behaviors are passed down from generation to generation impacting our health, relationships and faith.

Register today! We can’t wait to see you.
