Do you ever feel like life is just sort of happening to you? 

You meander through your days on autopilot. From home, to work, and then back home.

You absently kiss your partner. You passively play with your kids.

And while there are occasional moments of sheer and utter joy like on your wedding day, or during your yearly vacation, by and large it feels like you're just passing the time.

What a shitty way to live when you put it that way, huh? And unfortunately, it's how must of us sail through life, from cradle to grave.

Now don't get me...

Be honest, how many times have you let other people's opinions steer your life in one direction or another? 

Tens of times? Hundreds of times? Thousands of times?

How would your life look different right now had you followed your own heart, your own intuition, that internal compass that pulls you towards decisions that you may not even understand in the moment?

Would you be in a different job? A different relationship? A different state?

Would you have started that blog, or that Etsy shop, or that online course?

Would you be happier, mor...

Do you struggle with finding balance in your relationship?? Whether it's balance with work, life, and romance, balance with money, or balance with giving and taking, you've got to have the tools to pull things back into alignment when they fall out of equilibrium.

And establishing this stability within the tumultuousness of 2 entrepreneur's lives is something my boyfriend Bryan and I have deep and intimate knowledge of. 

So in today's episode of Life Unleashed, we're coveri...

Hey!! I hope this blog finds you well. I hope it finds you happy with your job, in a loving relationship, with overflowing self confidence, health, and joy. 

But what if it isn't? What if this blog is finding you barely able to make it out of bed. What if it finds you with that too-familiar dark cloud hanging overhead? What if it finds you just trying to make it through the day?

Well, I'm hoping, if that's you... today's episode might help.

Because today we're talking about the inextricable link between your diet and your mood, and how good ...

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. 

I get it, and ju...

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 interview, you'll ha...

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 you know that making some...

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 backfire).

So let's get to it,...

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 of my most commonly asked weight loss questions, while sharing...
