As we get older it can be easy for the Holidays to go from the most blessed time of year to the most stressed, am I right?!

Instead of being stressed this year, let’s commit...

🎄to be present with my family and enjoy the little moments
🎄to be mindful about food choices and
🎄to practice gratitude everyday

I created a Holiday Survival Guide to help focus on what’s truly important. I figured if I needed this stuff, you might too!

The holiday guide includes:
🎄 My Holiday Checklist
🎄 Yummy and healthy side dishes & recipes
🎄 How to Avoid Overeating
🎄 10 Tips to Stress Less
🎄 My 4 rules to live by this Holiday Season

Let me know in the comments when you get it!!

𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞...

Mama, let me just say you deserve it!

And I know it’s much easier for me to say than for you to believe...

I get it...

I had this spa day scheduled for over a month. And then last night I started feeling guilty.
Because K asked me if I had to work today. I told him no but I had an appointment and so he was still going to go to school for a little bit.

And then that lip came out....
And he started crying and said he wanted to stay home with me. And my heart broke into a million little pieces and I wanted to call and cancel my spa appointment right then.

But I deserve this- this time for just ME! To recharge- to not think about anything except enjoying this wine and fire in my robe with my book and my freshly conditioned hair, softer than butter skin and my hydrated face.

I needed this- to be the best mama. Wife. Health coach. Dental hygienist. To be all the things....

Mama- you don’t have to literally spend the day at the spa..... (But if you have the chance-𝔻𝕆 𝕀𝕋!!!)
But please- take that time you need. Slip away and take a bath with the door locked.
Go for a solo run.
Drop the kids off early to daycare and relax at your favorite coffee shop and enjoy your coffee while it’s hot.
Talk a walk, read a book, take a nap, do whatever makes you happy and recharges your soul!
Because if no one has told you lately.... you deserve it! 😘

Yesterday I was so tired- I blamed it on missing my workout and going back to work after being on vacation for a week.

But then I went to bed at 9:00 last night- set my alarm for 4:30.... Still.just.couldn’t.do.it!
I still couldn’t drag myself out of bed this morning. I forced myself up at the very last minute possible to be able to get my workout in and not be late to work. I knew I’d feel better if I just did it.

So I pushed play.
But my workout was junk. Less reps. Less weight. I even sat out a round of those dang plank jacks.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭.𝐢𝐧.𝐭𝐡𝐞.𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝?!?

So I sat there racking my brain- trying to figure out what I was missing...

Then it hit me...

𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍!

Yep. Yesterday the only carbs(fuel) my body had was a fudge round... 🤷‍♀️
Lunch was all veggies. Dinner was veggies and a little protein.

I didn’t drink my shake.

I didn’t even slam my pre workout before I hit play this morning.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

No wonder I’m tired and my workout was trash.

So here’s what I’m reminding myself today::

🥗 Nutrition is such a huge piece of the puzzle!
💪 You have to fuel your body if you want it to perform.
🥯 Proper nutrition includes healthy carbs (sorry fudge round- you don’t actually count).
⚡️ Pre workout actually works! So don’t skip it!
💜 You deserve a little grace- don’t fret over today, just make tomorrow better!

Is there something you continually have to remind yourself too?

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮...

I’d love to focus on my own health and nutrition but I just don’t have the extra money to spend.

Christmas is coming up- I’d love to have extra 💵 to be able to pay for Christmas with cash.

I love staying home with my kids, but I’d also love to feel professionally fulfilled and bring in an income for my family too.

I have got to figure out a way to get out of this 9-5!

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

If you raised your hand, then let me ask you- have you thought about joining my Team? I’m taking applications for my next Mentorship program.

It’s everything you need to start your business off with a bang- everything except the overwhelm!

So go check out my stories- I’m sharing exactly the type of person I’m looking for! Then fill out the application in my bio or shoot me a DM!

Happy Monday! Sometimes knowing your worth means

Happy Monday!

Sometimes knowing your worth means doing the hard thing.

Day 1 back from vacation and I just wanted to hit snooze, pull the covers over my head and go back to sleep. 😴 #tiredasamother

But I know my goals- I know what it’s going to take to reach those goals.

I know my worth. And I’m adding tax. #youareworthy

☑️ Morning devotions
☑️ Daily affirmations
☑️ Morning power hour
☑️ Workout

👊 Take that Monday after vacation 👊

What is the hard thing you need to tackle today because you are worthy too?
