We really can create positive change when we take control for ourselves. When we put our best efforts forward (not in intensity, but in consistency).

It was much more evident during these camping trips over the years, how much Mother Nature can teach us, if we ALLOW ourselves to SLOW DOWN and just be MINDFUL of what she's saying.

The ONLY thing holding this woman back on these days, is her own mind and the stories going on in there

The fitness and health industry, as we know it has been around since the 1960's. Over those 6-decades WE have learned a TON about WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN'T WORK and the "Been there, done that" effect. THIS mentality DOES NOT SERVE US.

The new ACSM strength training points, in my opinion, help 'filter through the noise' and simplify our approach and understanding of strength training.

Want to stop "feeling old"??? There's your recipe.

We don't get better from ZERO adversity, setbacks, mistakes, or resistance. We get better BECAUSE of those things!!

Marcellus Bowman III, Head Strength Coach for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL) shared a post on Linkedin recently. It was quick and to the point. I thought it would be fun to use his tips, but to put them into context for the everyday human. Whether you consider yourself an athlete or not, the principles are similar.

We practice ALL DAY, EVERY DAY being "somewhere else" and "moving on to whatever is next"...

Since September 2025, my meditation practice has been part of most of my days in the week. Prior to that, the longest I had gone consistently was 6-months. Back in September, I started with a 1-minute meditation to keep it simple and consistent for myself. Yes, just ONE MINUTE.

THAT mindset, THAT approach to your every day lifestyle and all the "I can'ts" that you say to yourself internally and out loud - THEY are HOLDING YOU BACK from living a better quality life. PERIOD.

I am constantly amazed at how the most basic of human foundations, conversation, can create positive change and shifts in your deep health, in your mindset and bring those "ah ha" moments. However, we NEED an outlet to HAVE and SPARK those kinds of conversations. That's what coaching brings.

It's not uncommon in working with clients where despite the best intentions and sometimes efforts, they continue to be held back in their progress to healthier lifestyle habits. It's not unlucky or that they "are just not destined to be healthy". They're missing a major foundational pillar to human health and wellbeing: YOU need to SHOW UP for yourself, CONSISTENTLY. Not to brag, but my client roster is FULL of great humans. Many of them are AMAZING at putting EVERYONE and

This is part of my job as a Health & Wellness Coach. Sometimes we just need that neutral, unbiased ear to suggest something like, "Talk to him/her" and you'd be surprised what doors that can open for one's health.

We WILL walk beside our clients. We WILL support, encourage, educate and offer guidance. We DON'T make things happen. YOU DO! YOURSELF.

This part is often overlooked and even unknown to folks who are hurt. Managing an injury is equally as much mental health as it is physical. The mental stages of an injury run parallel with the stages of grief...

It wasn't until my practices became more normal in my days/weeks that these lessons and realizations began to unfold, and I'm only STILL just beginning this lifelong experience. The connections have begun to make sense between my practice and every day life.

YOUR time and YOUR energy are IMPORTANT and neither are infinite. Practice and learn to PROTECT both of these elements. YOU deserve it.

If you find yourself complaining of low energy, complaining you have "so much to do" or you're "so busy all the time" forgetfulness/brain fog, screwing up appointment times, lack of free time for yourself etc...
