Living My Best Life with True Clarity

Being a Mom and exhaustion can go hand and hand.  We always have to be on.  Our minds are always going, and we have a lot of things to do and remember.  Add in a job, and all other responsibilities and it can get tricky to get all the things in we want.  School is starting in my house this week and I spent most of my late afternoon and night getting ready for my week.  After an awesome Summer it is time to get back to schedules and real life.  One thing I find is having a daily morning routine to set my day up for success is important.   I can tell that it even works better for my two children when I follow my routine.  I am less stressed which leads my kids to be less stressed.  My night routine is just as important as my morning routine.  I promise you I don't do either perfect, but I know for sure when I follow it, life is much more simple. On Sunday nights during the school year I always make sure I have my w...

As some of you know I have been working on writing a book since last December.  What I will do with it who knows....but I feel like I have a story to tell that can help many others.  The past few weeks I have not written as much because some of the stuff I am writing about is tough stuff, but I know how many people I can help by writing it.  Something I talk about a lot is how difficult change can be for me.  It is not nearly as hard for me as an adult as it was for me as a kid, but I still see some struggle.  As we age a lot of decisions we make just don't affect us.  If you have a family it can affect your significant others and your kids too.  It is not easy to make certain decisions.  Over the past few months I have had horrible anxiety.  I have come off an extremely difficult year health wise (you can look back at past blogs if you don't know this) that kicked not only my butt, but also my husbands and children's.  Ov...

One thing I always try to be is honest with my clients.  They know that I can struggle like everybody else when it comes to food.  I have always been a foodie.  I enjoy eating healthy but I also like the occasional good cheeseburger and fries followed up with a bowl of Far Far's ice cream (or even a whole pint)  There is no shame in my game when it comes to that.  If you are not in the fitness industry I can totally see how intimidating it can be when it comes to nutrition.  There are so many different people selling different things.  There are different kinds of shakes, to eliminating food group diets, Paleo, Keto, ...the list goes on.  What is right, what is wrong?   I know what doesn’t work long term.  I have approached nutrition so many different ways over the past years with clients....some very successful, some not so successful. Long term lifestyle habits are definitely something I try to teach my clients.  You need to enjoy...
