We all know habits are the keys to our success in any endeavor we have.

Our ability to achieve our dreams virtually never comes down to one big thing we did. It's what we do, how we think, and how we respond to challenges every single day, without even thinking, that truly determines our fate. 

So here is my 6-to-Stick Method (as seen in my Life Unleashed Program) for creating healthy habits that will stand the test of time, motivation, and busy-ness. 

1. Make it easy.

Whenever you choose the habit that you want t...

In this week's episode, I was super excited to sit down with DivaDance North Dallas studio owner, Natalia Maravi. Listen in to hear her inspiring story of going from a newbie dancer at 26 years old, to dance fitness instructor, to studio owner in just a matter of years.

Her story is not that of an overnight success, or of privilege, or of certainty in her path. No, hers is a story demonstrating the power of baby steps, listening to your intuition, and stepping into the unknown to unleash a career and life she never coul...

1. The 'Cleaver'

• When you do something, you do it all the way. You are the ultimate Sunday prep person.
• You're going to want to pick your recipes for the week, put each meal on the calendar, grocery shop, chop, cook, and package your meals. It takes up your entire Sunday but the rest of the week you are 100% food-stress free.

2. Left-Overs Lover

• You feel like there's nothing better than sitting down to a delicious, home cooked meal that you just had to spend 5 minutes warming up.
• Every time you cook, make mult

It's Valentine's week and I decided to spice things up for today's episode of the Life Unleashed Show.

I had the pleasure of interviewing coach Amanda Tull who specializes in helping women have clear, confident, and courageous conversations about sex so we can live in a healthier environment with thriving relationships.

Here are the questions and struggles we covered in the episode:

1. My partner “hounds” me for sex! And while I love them, I’m just so tired and my libido is nonexistent any more. What can I do?
2. My part

Summary

1. Consistently gather information until you can't ignore the facts.

2. Figure out YOUR why. Remember, an object at rest stays at rest. And an object in motion stays in motion. You need your goals to be acted on by an outside force; that's what your why is. But it has to be strong enough and powerful enough to get you moving. 

3. Quit 'playing' with the idea. Draw a line in the sand and make the DECISION to change. And do whatever you have to to make that commitment real. Tell it to all your friends, post it on social m...

"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me." - Erica Jong

1. When you have an opinion, say it! Especially when someone asks.

2. Be unapologetically you.

3. Own your mistakes. 

4. Take one small action towards your biggest, scariest, most important goal every single day. Even when you're not ready. No, especially when you're not ready.

5. Ask for what you want. In bed, in business, in friendships, and even in restaurants.

Health

• The 80/20 rule at play: 80% of what you eat is healthy and 'on plan', 20% of what you eat is for 'fun'.
• How to know you're in 'the zone':
  • You feel energized.
  • You're confident in your ability to maintain your routine.
  • You're seeing results without feeling deprived. 
• How to know you're off:
  • You stop seeing results.
  • Old symptoms come back like lethargy, digestive upset, or cravings.

Summary

• The reason so many people fail to meet their resolutions isn't because they don't have the skills, or the willpower, or the motivation. It's that they approach each year the same way and expect a different result. They set the same goals with the only true plan being that they're just going to be different in the new year. Because... new year. 
• If you don't take a moment of pause to reflect on the things that worked, the things that didn't work, what needs to change, and what needs to be magnified, you're missing a hug

Summary

1. DO NOT beat yourself up, wallow in regret, or fall down the cycle of self-hatred. You aren't broken, or weak, or a failure because you went 'off plan.'

DO forgive yourself, figure out what your triggers were and how you can handle them differently next time, and move on. And remember, there's no magic trick to this.

2. DO NOT do a juice cleanse. The extreme swings will just jack up your metabolism and set you up for a cycle of binging and cleansing. 

DO try a whole-foods based reset like a mini Whole7. Extremes don'...
