Do you ever find yourself so close to a goal you can taste it? All you have to do to achieve everything you ever dreamed of is reach out. It's there for the taking.

Yet, instead of feeling excited about the new level you know you're about to hit, you get pummeled with waves of anxiety, fear, and doubt.

Instead of racing forward and embracing the very thing you've been striving for all this time, you find yourself sinking back, searching for comfort, safety, and the certainty of the grounds you've been walking for years.

In this week's episode of Life Unleashed, I interviewed my good friend, Equinox colleague from back in the day, and extremely talented personal trainer, educator, and nutrition coach, Samantha Nicole.

We dove deep into the topics of macronutrient counting for weight loss, how to incorporate the power of manifestation into your transformation journey, and why always wanting more doesn't make you broken, it makes you better. 

For this blog post, I've focused on the topic of macronutrients. But for the rest of this amazing...

You may know, I don't generally hand out 'DO NOT EAT' lists to my clients. I feel like that usually sets us up for feeling deprived at least, or it sets us up for a full on binge fest and self-loathing spiral at worst. 

However, it is hard to argue that some foods (and beverages) just do not fit in very well with a weight loss plan. (Just ask my client, 'Carol', down below.)

So today I am bringing you a list of the worst foods for weight loss... with this caveat: if...

It's  day 2 of The 5 Days of Fitness, and we are talking all about weight loss after 40 (check out my girl Jamie's story down below). 

First of all, here are a few things you need to understand...

Yes, your metabolism slows and your hormones change as you age. Yes, the pounds can become more stubborn.

No, it is not impossible to have the body you want. And no, you do not have to starve yourself to create the body you want (in fact, that will...

Hey friend, so I'm aware, as of late, I've been heavy into personal development, productivity, and business development for newbie entrepreneurs.

However, I want you to know I have not left my fitness folks behind. Which is why I'm doing a special series of fitness blogs.

I'm calling it, The 5 Days of Fitness. (I love alliterations, don't you?)

So, for the next few posts I'll be answering some...

So, you know you want to start a side hustle, you want to be your own boss, you want to have more time to spend with your family, and more financial flexibility to travel when and where you want.

There's just one problem... you can't nail down what you want to do.

Trust me, you're not alone. 

I belong to a number of Facebook groups, all filled with people who want to take the leap into the entrepreneurial void, and there they are......

I'm going to be real with you... personal trainer or not, I am NOT a morning workout person.

If I had to choose between waking up 20 minutes early to do a 20 minute workout, or doing a 90 minute workout after 12 pm... 90 minutes would win every time. 

Nonetheless, my interest has been peaked lately. Over the years, I've heard more and more, just how beneficial it is to move your body first thing upon waking.

If you listened to last week's podcast episode, you'll remember my girl Gio's woeful complaints about her tendency to stop reaching for her goals once she got 80% of the way there. 

In other words, if she were running a marathon, she'd get to mile 20 on the track, stop...

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how different your life would look had you started working on your dreams when you first conceived of them?

What would have happened if you had started that food blog when you first began experimenting with paleo recipes 3 years ago? Could that have turned into a career? A book? Or maybe even just a little extra pocket change for that trip to Florida you've been salivating over?

How would...

Attention my boss babes, my hustlers, my dream chasers, my goal getters, my working mamas, my bad ass girl bosses... this one’s for you!!
