Health Coach | Speaker | Writer | Welcome to my digital diary! I'm here to help you blend life & fitness to find your health & happy! Thank you for being part of my family & allowing me to add value to your journey!
A few painful things I learned while self healing: If you’re angry or regretful you’re hoarding & livin’ in the past. If you’re worrying, you’re livin’ in the future. If you can look back & smile, look forward & smile, & you’re content…well, that’s when you know you’re livin’ graciously in the present.
And that’s when life all started to make sense.
That truth is what I hold onto every day. It doesn’t mean things are always easy, in fact, I’ve had really frickin hard times on some of these travel Xray assignments, but…
I always learn new things
I always discover I’m tougher & more able
I acknowledge & savor growth is never comfortable. It’s what has made me perfectly imperfect & wise.
How you handle discomfort says it all & I choose to handle them with grace like a boss😉👑
A trip down memory lane from 1 year ago, Photo dump of a weekend on my travels in #omahanebraska I LOVE it there! Hoping to go back soon! My heart & soul are were happy there. Some places make an imprint on your life & never leave.
Open up to opportunities & people that make life more fun. It’s that simple. There’s no right time or specific version of yourself needed when you’re setting goals, living in alignment, embracing your purpose & loving yourself.
Ask yourself what you’re livin’ for & who you’re livin’ for, & if neither of those answers are YOU, even if you think you’re weird as hell, you’re livin’ the wrong life.
And if I can offer you anything today, one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that it’s MY JOB to create a joyful reality & I choose to treat others better than they’ve treated me.
So let everyday be YOURS. OWN IT & don’t apologize for who you are🫶 Home is wherever you are.

You’re alive right now or you wouldn’t be reading this😊 BUT…what proof do you have that you’re really living? Don’t overthink the question.
“Often a very old man has no other proof of his long life than his age.” Seneca.
Meaning👉they’ve chronologically aged, but spent little “living.”
Channeled Messages (embrace what resonates for you) Sing your own song🐦🎶🗣️ You are the magician. Do things different to get different✅🎨 Fuck it, try it🤷♀️🤭😂🙃 There are no rules❌😉 Be your own muse👑💄👩🎤🧑🎤👨🎤Be where you are accepted & celebrated in all your “freak flag” glory🇺🇸🏳️🌈🏁⛳️🫶🌈🦄
💎🤑💍👑👢🤠👠Denim & diamonds, baby. That’s me. Take it or leave it. Carrie Underwood, you my sis.
I remember social media being joyous back in the day. We could connect with friends & family as we chronologically posted content important to us. We could post whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, as often as we wanted.
Somehow it’s evolved to this pressure that whatever you share has to be “good enough” & professionally well polished. It’s normal nowadays to spend hours creating something people scroll by.
Maybe self-inflicted🤷♀️ Had this thought, figured I wasn’t the only one. I quit concerning myself with us, and simply share what’s on my heart and my mind because I know I’m not alone out here in my feelings/struggles/joys/emotions.
Maybe Cosmic chaos. Don’t fear🚫 Chaos leads to order as you navigate thru it…smooth like butter. I believe in you👏🏼🏆 (& in me)
However you feel about yourself👉that’s how people see you. You truly have to #betheenergyyouwishtoattract
This is why focusing on health brings you everything you desire as far as body (& LIFE) change.
How you feel about yourself reflects your reality outside. Everything else in your life will start happening beautifully FOR you when you start feeling better about yourself. I remind myself inner peace out or peas, enter chaos, outer chaos.
This concept is exactly why I coach clients holistically because it’s all connected body mind & spirit. You’re free to believe, eat, live, live however you want. I honor you no matter what, & from the bottom of my heart I hope y’all find your solutions.
You’re all too wonderful & beautiful to waste this precious life not loving yourself & living your life to its fullest.
Highly recommend, listening, or picking up the book, Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley. I refer to this audible book often. He puts me in a high vibe, makes things easy to understand, & transforms you into a hopeful, joyous, enthusiastic, empowered state.
Script your Dream Reality!
Pinterest board. Vision board. Journal. Scrapbook. Whatever you want. Add images, quotes, pictures of happy smiling faces, healthy bodies, whatever you wish to feel & embody to be your highest self.
I start new ones whenever I feel like I’ve turned a chapter or a season. I give thanks for my previous board & invite whatever is meant for me in my highest alignment & love for my next one.
Then I smile & let my thoughts, my feelings, my desires, flow like water & wash over me. I feel into my abundance, my health, & the happiest, most joyous, wealthy version of myself. My most fulfilled self. Those are the images I fill my boards with.
All you have to do is focus on what you want & allow the universe to work out the how, the who, the where, the when, & what form.
Remember, YOU ARE ALIVE right now or you wouldn’t be reading this😊 BUT…what proof do you have that you’re really living THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS?

What amazing choices can you make right now?!
I strategically use feng shui (google it, do your own life admin ) in my home to create a space full of abundance, love & good juju. It’s OK if you don’t believe in this stuff, I’m simply sharing my life
In my bedroom this is the first thing I wake up & see.
It truly changes your life when you savor the little things. I fully live by the beliefs that the “little things” (that are truly the BIG things) matter most & LOVE is in the details
At home, the smallest choices…
opening a window
fresh flowers
savoring a cup of coffee
smelling the fresh air
gratitude & positive affirmations
pictures that make you smile
listening to the birds chirp
taking out the trash (The word #trashpanda is one of my absolute favorites btw)
cleaning your space
watching squirrels (favorite animal)
lighting a candle
having a dance party in your kitchen (which I did yesterday while cleaning )
…can be the spark of more flow, more ease, more joy.
Every day, all day long, we can choose what to focus on, what to consume in all ways, from food & drinks to social media & conversations.
Everything is shaping our energy, health, mood, creativity, & thus our LIFE.
Here’s to a day, every day, of choosing more love, joy & all things that feel amazing!
…AND sparkly AF because life is too short & beautiful to be anything but EXTRA!
A client got pissed at me yesterday. I said, “Good, then I’m doin my job.”
I had several conversations yesterday via dm with people letting their mindsets & emotional heaviness get the best of them.
On repeat: You attract what you put out. You cannot become what you want by remaining where you are.
You gotta shift your mindset. Mindset is part of the work.
This particular client, flat refuses to eat more food yet wants to gain muscle & heal. And I get it, it’s a mindfxck.
And I don’t care what goal y’all are chasin in whatever facet of life — DON’T BE UPSET ABOUT THE RESULTS YOU AREN’T GETTING FROM THE WORK YOU DIDN’T DO.
4 things I live by…& letting my weight or my Crohn’s or excuses control me — NOT any of those 3 things…
1.) Be mentally attractive, kind, & be worth knowing. You attract what you put out.
2.) Thou shall not judge because thou has fxcked up too.
3.) You either DO or you DON’T.
4.) 2 things I don’t like to share, toothbrushes & wieners.
💁🏼♀️Slap that last one on a T-shirt.
January 2021 I picked my word. Actually I picked 2: JOY & SURRENDER.
My mom told me, “Stop living your life through your phone.” Ooof like a punch in the gut. I knew she was right. (Dxmnit she always is 😆)
I love social media for connection, education, & inspiration. I wouldn’t have a wonderful digital family like y’all without it.
But I knew I needed to set boundaries & clear toxicity around it.
So I detoxed social media accounts. Unfollowed accounts I no longer align with.
I deactivated Facebook for a while, I now only use it for events, clients, & family.
I wrote these words this morning, let this be thought provoking, a conversation starter, & your inspiration for the week. Feel free to tag & share on instagram HERE
Be so in love with your life that watching another person love theirs makes your heart happy, not sad, jealous, or angry.
Be so confident you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, no black cloud of FOMO can swallow you, dim your light, question your worth, significance, or timeline.
Be so obsessed with nurturing your own gifts, abilities, & desires you don’t have time or energy to criticize others because your fulfillment, impact, & journey are more important.
Be the captain of your life. Determine what values matter to you, what life experiences you want, what relationships you want, what body you want, what career you want, the person you want to embody — let those things be your map.
Stop letting other people’s lives & living with expectations & control be your compass & your map.
There’s so much abundance & love out there. Focus on the positive feelings & outcomes you deserve. Everything you want is waiting for you to receive when you learn to fall in love with your life right now, & NOW is all that matters.
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be🤍
I’d love to hear your thoughts & Sunday reflections! Leave’em in comments!👇🏻
I invested $224 on a @scentsy order from a coworker just starting her side hustle last week.
She’s SO excited & eager.
I can see the sparkle ✨ of hustle in her eyes. My fellow entrepreneurs, you know what I’m talkin about: those dreamy, first time virgin optimism I’m gonna hustle&grind till I bleed, feels.
You also know what it feels like to think you’re a failure, not good enough, & an ‘imposter.’
So I wanted to do something nice for her like others had done for me in the past — build her confidence.
She said, “I took a chance, I dunno if I can do it.” 🤷♀️
I sat down.
I explained the power of her thoughts & vibration. She had to believe she was worthy & successful for the Universe to bring the right people & opportunities.
It takes aligned thoughts, feelings, & ACTION — not from a place of desperation or lack but of ease & abundance.
Did I need said $224 worth of the scent ‘Mystery Man’ in my life?
Maybe, maybe not 😂
Girls you know what I’m talkin about — God love the scent of a nice smelling man.
Am I right?!
Like not the ‘walking by Abercrombie & Hollister, overpowering, tryin too hard’ scent but the ‘confident, walking on the line of arrogance, sharp dressed man’ scent 🤤 Think Mr. Big. All my ‘Sex & the City’ 🌃 📺 👠 fans.
Someone stole my Fitbit watch last week as well. My fault, left it in the sauna bathroom when I changed. You would think most people would turn an item like that in.
They notified me no one turned it in. I replied, “That’s OK! I suppose someone needed my watch more than I did.” They were surprised with my response.
You see I’m grateful someone got pleasure out of me leaving my watch, & I’m grateful I have the finances to purchase another one, which is supporting someone else’s job too.
Look for the 💫 gold linings y’all & do something nice for someone. Your life will be so much sweeter.
And now…I can walk in my apartment to the delectable aroma of my Mystery Man ❤️🤗
