As a mom during the holidays, I often find myself swept up in the whirlwind of impulsive decisions—whether it’s buying that extra gift for my daughter because it’s on sale or picking up an extra box of chocolates because "everyone loves them!"…

For the last twenty years as a mom of three, one of my biggest responsibilities was making December magical. I always wanted to make the holidays special for my children and all of our family members. Over the years, I think I tried out just about every strategy for getting the perfect gifts for all family members and from all family members (and Santa Claus)…

The food industry has made it very easy to rely on quick-fix meals and processed snacks. It’s also convenient to carry granola bars, bags of chips and candies with you on the go to satisfy your every craving.

We’ve all experienced feelings of bitterness or resentment at some point in our lives. Whether it’s toward a person, a situation, or even ourselves, these emotions can linger and take root if left unaddressed.

As the weather cools down and we start to crave warm, comforting foods like soups and stews, it’s easy to forget about our fast, fruity, and fueling smoothies. Just because the seasons change doesn’t mean your smoothies need to be packed away until spring...

From smartphones and tablets to computers and televisions, screens are everywhere, and their usage has become almost inescapable.

If I let my mind spiral, I could easily sit in my bed every night asking myself, where did the day go? Our youngest is going off to college soon, which means that my husband and I are going from having three kids to - you guessed it - zero at our house…

When we hear the word creativity, we often think that it is a talent exclusive to the special few who have been gifted with the ability to express their ideas through art and performance. However, creativity is within every single one of us. It’s not something that is just given to a select portion of the population…

Believe it or not, the idea of a “detox” has been around for centuries. Detoxification originated based on the ancient Greek and Egyptian theories that most food contains toxins that are harmful to the body.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been told, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Eating a healthy breakfast is key to starting the morning off with the energy needed to power through your day.

Diving into the nuances of self-motivation means exploring what lights a fire in our bellies, what makes us leap out of bed in the morning with purpose and passion. It's about finding that inner spark, even on the days when our ambitions feel worlds away.

In today’s appearance-obsessed culture, we are bombarded with information about how to stay young and beautiful. With the relentless flood of information, it can be difficult to know what is reliable and what is a company’s attempt to exploit our insecurities for their financial gain.

Meditation has always presented itself as a beacon of tranquility in the chaos of my daily life. As someone whose thoughts race more often than not, finding solace in stillness was a journey that tested my patience and resolve.

In today’s fast-paced life, proper nutrition can often take a back seat to convenience. We don’t always have time to examine every ingredient in our food – especially when pre-packaged meals and snacks are so easy and accessible.

As a health coach and a mother of three, my journey took an unexpected turn when my daughter Cheyenne decided to deepen her relationship with God by being baptized as an adult. While it…

Have you ever noticed that the state of your surroundings can influence your mood and productivity?  Imagine you sit down at your desk to get some work done…but you can’t even put your materials down because there is too much stuff in your way. 

Can you believe it’s actually 2024?! This means that it has been almost four years since the beginning of COVID-19, the pandemic that turned our world upside down. Thinking back on my first trip to the grocery store when the shelves were empty and people were scrambling to stock up on toilet paper…

Let’s admit it, we all have some habits we would like to change.  Maybe you want to break a bad habit, like eating too much sugar or smoking, or perhaps you’re trying to implement a new, positive habit into your life, such as daily meditation or drinking more water.

In the fast-paced world that we live in finding moments of tranquility and self-reflection can be challenging. One powerful practice that significantly contributes to a healthy mind is journaling. Whether it was a secret diary…

The new year is the perfect time to start building healthy habits. If you’ve made time to rest and re-energize in the midst of the busy holiday season (which I hope you have), the new year will feel like a fresh start and an opportunity to get back on track. Whether you want to eat healthier, grow physically stronger, or improve your mental well-being, it all comes down to the routine you practice on a daily basis.

The holidays are a busy time. From grabbing a warm coffee with friends to enjoying a sweet treat with your family, baking cookies, and attending large festive feasts, there are plenty of occasions to indulge. While it’s important to embrace all of these amazing opportunities to celebrate with your loved ones guilt-free, your health goals can still be a priority. 

The winter is full of wonderful things: cozy evenings by the fireplace, time with our loved ones, festive celebrations and delicious treats. While this season has an abundance of gifts, it also brings a unique set of wellness challenges. Dry skin, seasonal affective disorder, and the cold or flu are just a few.

From delicious, fancy dinners to spending quality time with loved ones, there’s nothing better than this time of year. It can be easy for us to get caught up in the excitement of all of the traditions and celebrations. Just like that, it all seems to pass by and all of a sudden, we’re back to work and feeling just as burnt out as we were before.
