Creating fatalistic, fictional timelines? Do this instead.

Minutes 1 – 8: Life coach vibes: “live your best life … you don’t have to keep calm, but please carry on…” Minute 8:40 to the end: Pandemic hair. I would skip to minute 8:40 of this video if I were you, too. Hair is getting really interesting for some of us during this [...]

Just For Fun

Day 27. Some days are pretty good — mostly better than pretty good. Others are an energy-suck, and then I get mad about that. I read “the numbers” every day for my city, my state, and my country. I yell at the wifi. I feel happy, energetic and proud when I exercise. I get [...]

{VIDEO} The best of the worst

Welcome to this week’s blog via video … This week, I am sharing the story of two of the hardest periods in my life, which happened to involve my home. And I’m not talking about my house-in-Louisville-home — I’m talking about the “home” that is my body. My permanent address. In two different decades, I [...]

{VIDEO} “An athlete of the mind”

Last week, I had the opportunity to be on a speaking panel for Today’s Woman Magazine’s 28th birthday party / Galentine’s Day celebration. I knew it was going to be a wonderful night, and it did not disappoint. I had the honor of sharing that stage with a group of extraordinary women: we [...]

Level Up: Gotta Move Different When You Want Different

Mind, movement, momentum. 30 Days. NO excuses. NO beating yourself up. NO one-size-fits-all plan. NO “cheat days” (hate that term). NO food jail (the restriction / elimination / “dangerous” food mentality). NO to being a “good” or “bad” person as defined by what you put into your mouth. NO “I hate” …. “don’t have time [...]

Coming in September: It’s time to Level Up

COMING IN SEPTEMBER: It’s time to LEVEL UPThis month, I was honored to be featured in a local magazine with women from all over my city. We shared our unique stories about how we take care of ourselves, as well as (we hope) inspiration and motivation for other women to create a lifelong friendship with [...]

Real, Not Perfect

I work with many women on positive weight loss and body image issues; and I say this to almost everyone I serve: “You cannot hate yourself into loving your body.” Give gratitude to your body for what it offers you every single day: your breath, your ability to walk into your favorite coffee shop, [...]

Self-help doesn’t always come from a book

I work with so many women who have gotten tired of dealing with their bodies in frustration, shame, and confusion. They’re tired of attacking diets and approaching fitness with an all-or-nothing tenacity … and then getting bored, hurt or feeling like they “screwed up” — and then return to the same old cycle. What if [...]

What will you pre-member on December 31st?

Here’s photographic evidence that the first She MOVES retreat was a beautiful success. The 15 women in attendance created simple and significant plans to make the fourth quarter of this year exactly what they want it to be. If they want to slay, they shall slay. If they want to stroll into the end of [...]
