A Texas wedding with my beautiful family.
It was good to see H-Town again…

But I’m definitely a mountain girl now, and as soon as my plane landed in Denver - I was smiling from ear to ear.

This summer has been a breath of fresh air. Time with my family and friends who feel like my own has been incredible.

July 4th in Crested Butte with friends and family.
visited from Austria, visiting from Singapore,
Having all 3 of my kids together before the girls head off to college in the Fall. .jstewart .claire.s .3

I was uncertain I could ever love summer in Colorado as much as I love Fall, but it may be a close tie between the two seasons now. It’s definitely a season overflowing with joy for me!

Today I’m holding deep gratitude for the gift of being born in a country that, while imperfect, has given me the space to dream, to build, to fall and rise again and again.
⁣
I don’t take it lightly - this freedom to speak, to create, to worship, to raise a family, to build a business with my husband, and to live a life filled with purpose and possibility.
⁣
I know that not everyone in the world gets that chance. And today, I feel it all a little more.
⁣
I’m grateful for the generations before me who sacrificed more than I can imagine.
⁣
I’m grateful to be raising my kids in a land where opportunity exists - yes, even when it’s messy.
⁣
And I’m thankful that the ultimate freedom I carry doesn’t come from a flag, a title, or even a passport… but from Jesus Christ.
⁣
🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day, America. I don’t take this beautiful life for granted.

We took this photo on a good day…in the mountains…in our happy place. Close to the water and breathing a little easier.

But not every day looks like this.

Building a life of freedom, wealth, and health as entrepreneurs is the dream.

And behind every “dream life” are moments that test your faith, your marriage, and your mindset - especially when you’re married to your business partner…🫶🏻🤝

Have no doubt, there have been silent dinners, hard conversations, tight budgets, and “what are we even doing?” moments.

And there’s also been laughter, teamwork, midnight dreaming and planning, and learning how to fight for each other, not with each other.

We found out many years ago that building the life of our dreams wasn’t always easy - actually most days it’s really tough.

We decided early in our marriage that adventure and knocking the “normal” out of our vocabulary was how we wanted to build our life - and so we have. We’ve knocked the norm, took some crazy risks, made decisions that friends and family questioned us for, but through it all - we had our families best interest in mind.

And let me tell you….it hasn’t always been a bed of roses. But it’s the hard days that grow the roots deeper. Where more love and appreciation bloom.

So if you’re in the messy middle of building your dream life with your spouse…keep going.

I can look back after 22 years and say “It’s soooo worth it”

And don’t forget to have so much fun along the way!!

My girl did it.claire.s , my middle munchkin, is officially a high school graduate.

Cue all the tears, deep breaths, and prayers of gratefulness.
Watching her walk that stage felt like time paused - like the past 18 years were playing in fast-forward and slow-mo all at once.

Lunchbox notes, late-night talks and “Mom, can you help me with this school project due tomorrow” moments… they all led to this.

Ava, you are everything I prayed for and more.
You carry strength and sweetness in equal measure, and the world is better because you’re in it.

I am so proud of you.
Not just for what you’ve accomplished, but for who you are. I’ve watched you grow in ways you didn’t think possible. We had our rough days, but we’ve many more joyful days and for that I’m thankful.

To every friend and family member who showed up, cheered, and supported her (and us) - thank you. It really does take a village - You’re part of this milestone too.

I’ve spent most of my week just thanking God for this beautiful life.
What a joy it is to be a mom.

Yesterday my little boy turned 17.

It’s such an absolute adventure being mom to my boy. Grant is the baby of the family - so he keeps us all laughing.
This cute little boy who never stops smiling - has become a sincere young man who’s thoughtful, compassionate and driven.
This journey of motherhood is no small thing, and watching my youngest turn 17 def has me in all my feelings this week.

Grant isn’t on social media (he’s too busy playing basketball), but his birthday was such a special day!!

Life is an interesting thing. We walked the streets of NYC over Christmas. Just the 5 of us. We hit the Christmas markets, saw the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, and ate some of the best food ever. So happy. Enjoying the moments warm, fed and clothed - needing nothing.
Yet, we passed so many without food or a home literally laying in the streets, huddled under boxes, and their only warmth was the steam from the subway grates. One single mom huddled with her 2 children - sleeping together - all sharing a small blanket barely enough to cover the 3 of them. My heart was so heavy. Tears came. A knot in my throat. We stopped to give her money in the small cup that someone had put out for her. She was asleep, but people were putting money in so generously for her.
Another man was laying in the middle of the sidewalk. Looked as if he had overdosed on something. We had to step over him. He couldn’t even move.
I couldn’t help but think of the decisions or choices that brought these people to that place. Maybe even decisions that others had made for them. And yet, here they were.
I don’t understand it all. The experiences we each have in this life. The choices that lead us to our next chapter. All I know is that we are all sharing this lived experience through different lenses, yet connected more than we stop to notice. Longing for someone to see us, to offer a smile, a nod, as if to say - I’m here, too. Seeking hope in a hopeless place. And we can offer that through Christ. Through an act of love. Just even a glimmer of hope can be someone’s saving grace.
Life is an interesting thing. Every moment is fleeting and an opportunity to grow together. Sending you all tremendous love and hope this year and the coming year.

Happy Thanksgiving 🫶🏻.

I’m so grateful for all of you. Thank you for your support of me as your health coach and for making this social media world fun and engaging!

🦃Thanksgiving looks so different for us this year - it’s us 5.
And I’m enjoying my kiddos all being home again. We won’t have a house full of extended family, but these fleeting moments with my crew of 5 are so social to me.

❤️Here’s a pic from last night. We saw The Christmas Carol in Downtown Denver - I loved it! It was a fun way to ring in The Christmas Season.

Hug your people tightly today. Laugh and smile big wherever you find yourself sitting for dinner.

Don’t worry about macros or exercise or what you eat or drink. ☺️One day will not ruin your progress.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends!!
I love all of you dearly.
Melissa ❤️

Wherever you see consistency - a system is in place.

I see health coaches all day talk about how EASY it is to lose belly fat and build lean muscle.

And I know what they mean. It’s easier today than it was when I started this 7 years ago.

But the truth is - the journey was filled with hard days.

I wanted to quit, it was uncomfortable, I didn’t see results when I wanted.

It was hard because I didn’t have a system in place.

The moment I set a system up for myself - my progress skyrocketed.

Here’s the best news: You are not the problem, my friend.
Your problem is your system.

If you have a goal to lose 10 pounds - you need a system.
If you have a goal to build biceps - you need a system.
If you have a goal to eat healthier - you need a system.

This is what makes the process easier.
It’s not magic or loads of will-power.
It’s consistent showing up day in and day out and following your plan.

Don’t be distracted by coaching methods that promise big results for no change.
I promise you’ll keep yo-yo dieting.

Let’s make you a success story!
Let’s set up your system to finally reach your health goals.

My next 6-week round starts next Monday 11/27.

Can I count you in?

Perimenopause brings so many changes - excess weight gain is the one we dislike the most.

But it doesn’t mean we can’t thrive in this mid-life season.

🎉2024 is right around the corner. This is the best time to partner with me as your personal coach.

Imagine how would you feel starting the year off with direction, purpose and a huge up-level in mindset about what's next for you?

I hope you'll lean into this time of renewal as you change and re-birth with the seasons. There is so much JOY inside of you just waiting to ignite and amplify your life.

If you’d like to ignite that JOY again so that you can feel alive in this mid-life season then we need to talk. Schedule a call with me at the link in my bio.
