If you’re going to have a snack, you might as well cherish the experience! Maybe it’s my gardening or decor background, really it’s my deep appreciation for food.

I recall visiting floral farms many years ago just south of San Francisco. As we drove the winding roads there were fruit and vegetable farms everywhere. You could see the pickers lined up selecting strawberries and putting them into baskets. I visualized the laborious process it takes to get a pint of strawberries to my fridge that often went to rotten before I ever finished it.

That road trip changed my appreciation for fresh foods. I already knew how good they were for me, I had long since taken for granted all the hands that prepared the whole food I was about to eat.

However you find to appreciate a healthy snack today, take a moment to be think of those that made it possible.

Nurture mind, body and soul…

Five rooms. Five ways to train. Which one is yours?

I have training in many ways, in various seasons. Sometimes it was for a physical goal, sometimes it was to manage a busy family and work schedule and some seasons it was for a change of pace or scenery!

The best workout is not always the trendiest one and what works for your friend, spouse or neighbor might now be your cup of tea!

Choose the workout and environment that fits your goals, your schedule and the season you are in, and the one you will actually walk into, consistently!

The following are just a few that I have tried or hear positive feedback from others:

01 Orangetheory: train by your heart rate
02 CrossFit: lift, move, measure
03 Hotworx: sweat inside an infrared sauna
04 Barry’s: high energy in the Red Room
05 [solidcore]: slow, controlled strength

Choose your room, put it on your calendar and protect it like any meeting that matters.

Which one are you walking into next? Share in the comments below!👇

There is a quiet moment that comes right after you reach a goal.

The celebration fades, the dust settles, and a question shows up: now what?

Some people hear that question and feel pressure. Others hear an invitation. ✨

Wanting more is not ingratitude. You can be proud of how far you have come and still be curious about how far you can go. Both can be true at the same time. In fact, the people who grow the most are usually the ones who have learned to hold both. 🙏

Raising the bar does not have to mean doing everything at once. Most of the time, it looks a lot smaller than we expect. One more rep. One honest conversation. One evening protected for sleep. One decision made from your values instead of your habits. Small standards, raised consistently, become the life you actually want.

And the best part is that every new standard makes the next one easier to reach. Capacity is built, not born. 💪

So this week, do not aim for perfect. Aim for a little higher than last week.

Swipe through for a few places to start, then tell me in the comments: what is one bar you are ready to raise right now?

Save this for the next time you hit a goal and catch yourself wondering what is next.

Mediterranean, keto, paleo, fasting, plant-based.
Everyone has an opinion on how we should eat, what we should eat, when and sometimes even how!

There is real wisdom in many of opinions, research backed or evidence based.

I love that food is information. Every meal tells the body how to perform, recover and grow. It is also what our muscles, our energy and our resilience are built from. 💪

Food shapes the mind. Steady fuel supports focus, clear thinking and a calmer mood. The quality of our decisions often follows the quality of what we eat. 🙌

Food nourishes the spirit. When we choose with intention, we practice self-respect. Every thoughtful choice is a small promise kept to ourselves, and those promises build confidence that carries into everything else. 🙏

How we fuel ourselves shapes how we think, how we lead and how we show up for the people who count on us. Energy is a leadership tool, and it starts in the kitchen.

Scroll to the left (and then to the right…oh wait that’s a post about movement!) for a short version of five popular diets: what each one is, why people love it and what to be aware of. There is no single right answer, only the right fit for your goals in a particular season. The real secret is on the last slide, and it applies to far more than food… 💃 🕺

Every chance I get, I continue to study how nutrition helps optimize the mind, body and spirit. I recently earned my NASM Certified Nutrition Coach certification. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences in how it has changed how I see every plate. 🥘

Which one have you tried? Tell me below. I would love to hear what has worked for you!

One hour on Sunday. Five lunches ready before Monday asks anything of you. 🥗

Leading well all week starts with how you fuel your body!When lunch is already made, you are not grabbing whatever is closest or hitting the drive through. You are choosing on purpose. 🙌

Here is a simple Sunday prep:
✔️ Roast chicken thighs and a sheet pan of sweet potato, broccoli and red onion
✔️ Cook a pot of quinoa and hard-boil a few eggs
✔️ Whisk a lemon-tahini dressing

Then mix and match all week: a quinoa bowl, a Greek bowl, a big salad, sweet potato hash and lettuce-wrap tacos. Gluten-free, high protein and actually delicious.

Swipe for the full plan and the shopping list. Save this post for Sunday, and send it to a friend who might need some inspiration. 🧑‍🍳

What is your go-to prep-day lunch? 👇

I have talked about mind, body and spirit for the past couple of years and these are still the most essential part of the foundation of my health.

This year, I added a fourth piece: breath.

Hang with me…

I will admit, I was a little skeptical at first. It felt a bit woo-woo. But it has quietly become one of my favorite tools. It is how I find peace, ground myself and come back to center, whether I am heading into a big meeting, lacing up for a run or winding down at night. I use it for energy and in my prayer life.

There are tons of different types of breath work, from quick sessions to decrease your heart rate to breath healing which regulates your nervous system and oxygenates your blood.

I am so excited to be facilitating a four-part Embody Breath Healing series this October. Each Sunday evening, we will gather on Zoom to breathe, journal and lean into this new season together:

Week 1 · Pause with Purpose
Week 2 · Create Space
Week 3 · Strengthen Your Foundation
Week 4 · Move Forward with Intention

Join one Sunday or all four. All proceeds go to charity.

If you are curious, comment BREATHE and I will send you the details. Either way, take a slow, deep breath for yourself today. 🤍

I’m cheering for you! 📣

Q4 is here, and it is my second favorite lap of the year. 🏁

I created this Q4 checklist to get you started reflecting on your year and planning your Q4, considering mind, body and spirit, so you close out this year strong and step into the next one ready. 💪

And this year, I have added one more: breath.

You have heard me talk a few times about Breath Healing since summer. Not everyone loves to run, and I get it. I have discovered Breath Healing is a new way to release stress, seek clarity and reset…and it does not require running shoes.❤️

Intentional Breath Healing can:

✔️ Sharpen your focus
✔️ Lift your energy in the middle of a full day
✔️ Steady you before a big meeting, presentation or decision
✔️ Help you unwind and sleep deeply

You’re invited to join me as I lead:

Rise Where You Are:
4 Sunday evenings of guided breath work on Zoom.
October 4 to 25, 7:15 to 8:15 pm Central.

Come for one Sunday or all four. No experience needed. Just a quiet space and a willingness to try something new. 🧘

100% of proceeds go to charity.

Comment BREATHE and I will send you the details.

Expanding your capacity to retain knowledge! 🧠

I love listening to books on audio but recently I have been stretching my capacity to read books again. I was digging through boxes of some older books that didn’t make the bookshelf and these are a few of my favorites. 📕

It’s interesting how you read a book in one season and it serves in a vastly different capacity than the next. Sometimes you no longer align with the narrative but still respect the author and the memory of what you read.

This does not apply to these books, as The Power of One More by Ed Mylett has pushed me to add miles, weights, hours to a workday, and even loads of laundry! I highly recommend it!

Optimize your mind, body and spirit one day at a time, one habit at a time. Check✔️

Walk in step with your Creator.
On purpose. ❤️

Sometimes we push so hard, run so fast and try to get to the finish line as fast as we can, we skip the journey or miss what was meant for us to experience along the way.

It’s ok to go a little bit slower, listen for answers in unknown places, and take notes.

Graduations parties.
Building a new house.
Starting a new relationship.

Don’t rush.

Yes, we get one life to live.

Yes the sands of time of falling in the hourglass.

Yes, I am the queen of do it all, do it fast, but do it WELL is also deeply ingrained in my core values.

This is why I have added breath healing practices to my wellness routine in my life. It felt woo-woo to me, too. It still does sometimes. I won’t lie, I still combine some planks, prayers, and maybe text check mid-ritual…especially if I do the extended version.

But when I show up fully, allow myself to do the practice, without judging myself, I walk away feeling refreshed, clear and ready to lead.

To learn more about the Embody Breath Healing Experience, drop “just breathe” in the comments.

I’m cheering for you. 📣

🌱 Clear your energy - eliminate one outfit from your closet this weekend that you’ve been going to wear for the past year.

🌱 Just say no. I know it’s something we learned in third grade but if it isn’t a “hell yes…” it’s a no.

🌱 Be you. Authentically you. The world deserves who you were created to be.

Live life.
On purpose. ❤️
