PRETTY : BREAKING FREE FROM THE ILLUSIONS OF A SUPERFICIAL LIFE

Do you ever feel that you’re living on the surface of your life?
Are you convinced you need to hide, protect, pretend or perfect to be safe?
For years I did all those things for one reason: FEAR.
I lived deeply afraid that what I suspected was true: I wasn’t enough.

Join me on a journey discovering what the illusions, perceptions and masks all have in common. They’re a lie.

Turning Your Weakness into Strength

If you’re subscribed to the blog, last week I shared in my newsletter that I’ve been living out only part of who I am. It’s been said that our greatest strength can also be our greatest weakness. Here’s what I failed to see: The parts that made some people reject me, feel intimidated or uncomfortable around […]

High Protein Lunch

We all want to eat healthy, have more energy and recover faster, but we aren’t always sure what that looks like. How many carbs? That much protein? Honestly, I think we all start out with the very best intentions, but it’s hard. It’s hard to figure out, it’s hard to cook or it’s harder yet to swallow down. If you’re […]

The Lie Holding You Back

When it comes to living a healthy, active lifestyle too many people believe they can’t do it. It’s too hard. It’s too expensive. I don’t know what to eat. I’m not motivated to exercise. I don’t know how to work out. Underneath all these excuses is a single lie holding them back. I can’t do it. Yes, […]

Are You a Control Freak?

I am a control freak. Can we just be honest for a minute? We act like it’s a secret. Can my fellow sister freaks please raise their hands for a second? There. It feels so good just to say it. Let’s back up. First, I apologize I’ve been a little MIA this summer. We traveled, I […]

Choosing Against Busy

Have you checked the status of your life lately? Honestly, I’m curious… How are you? Because if you’re like ninety-nine point nine percent of the world (myself included), most times you don’t really know. You’re not quite sure. For many of us, probably most of us, the answer is dull, uninteresting, and shockingly the same. Far […]

When Life isn’t Smooth Sailing

Just the other day I found myself typing a text response. “Finally a break! Woohoo! Hopefully we’ll have smooth sailing from here.” Then I caught myself. [Delete. Delete. Delete.] Is that what I really want? Smooth sailing? My grandma always said smooth sailing never made a skillful sailor. True, grandma, yet so much of the time […]

When Life isn’t Smooth Sailing

Love Yourself Better

Do you want to love yourself better? The truth is, loving ourselves is hard. As wives, moms, caretakers, homemakers, friends and everyday do-ers…life is full. Full of people, things, responsibilities, conflicting demands, need-tos and want-tos. Full of expectations, should-dos, wish-I-could-bes, and never-measure-ups. If we’re honest, we’re pretty hard on ourselves. It’s not about setting goals or dreams, that’s […]

Overtraining and Injury

In the workout world, overtraining is like a cussing Christian. Lots of people do it, few talk openly about it. The reality is: if you love working out, and you stay active for any amount of time, there’s a good chance you will face some sort of injury. Don’t fear! Injury doesn’t have to mean something […]

How to Make Bone Broth

In healthy food communities you’ve probably heard a lot about broth, stock and bone broth, and the terms are often used interchangeably. Bone broth, broth and stock are built on the same basic foundation: water, meat or bones (or both), vegetables and seasonings. The difference with bone broth is really the duration of time that […]

What Strong People Do

Last week there was a veritable war happening between my heart and mind and soul. A battle between what I know and what I feel; truth that feels so dang hard to remember in the midst of our circumstance. Strong people know that there is a battle for peace that they must fight to hold onto. I know […]

Reconnecting Your Soul With Peace

Half way through summer and I already managed to neglect some really important things in my life. Things that make me centered, humble and at peace. Maybe you relate? In the midst of unlimited unscheduled time, the chaos of kids at home all day, and the constant lure of water, sun and sky — have […]

Staying Active on Vacation

Think vacation is an automatic pass on working out? Think again. You may not have access to a gym, weights or fancy equipment but if you have a sports bra and a pair of sneakers you’ve got everything you need to stay active on vacation. I’m sure of it. The last few weeks I’ve been visiting […]

Bright and Light Summer Guacamole

There are few foods I love more than guacamole. I like it simple and classic, best served with a margarita, and I have it down to a science. So. You can imagine when I learned about adding peas to my guacamole, I was highly skeptical. So skeptical in fact that I actually had to apologize to […]

5 Habits of Highly Motivated People

While it’s tempting to believe that motivation is completely intrinsic, perhaps related to personality type, birth order, or some other fixed characteristic inherent in our DNA, the truth is we have far more control than we think. It turns out more than anything, motivation is a choice. A habit. Highly motivated people share one bottom line common […]

Vanilla Mint Protein Shake

Who wants a protein shake? Chances are, if you said no you’ve had a bad one. Protein shakes often get a bad rap because the protein is hiding artificial ingredients or it leaves you with a nasty chalky aftertaste. It’s all about getting a good protein powder and today I have the answer you’ve been searching for. […]
