The past month has been an exercise in prioritizing. Turns out, there’s a friggin’ shit-ton to do to when you’re trying to get a business off the ground. Go figure. But! All that said, I’m excited to share that the Badass Is the New Skinny podcast is live! The first episode is up on severalContinue reading “The Badass Podcast is Live!”

For real, this time
Have you ever gotten so swept up in all the things you’re “supposed” to do that you lose sight of what it is that you want to do? Lose sight of the things that light that fire in your belly, that make you wake up in the morning excited to start the day and feelContinue reading “For real, this time”
Comfort in Familiarity
I don’t know how many times I’ll drop the ball on this, but it seems that no matter how many times I do, I keep returning to it. I keep returning to it because it brings me joy. Reconnects me with the things that make me feel my best. And it’s familiar. Kind of likeContinue reading “Comfort in Familiarity”
The Most Monday of Mondays
I woke up when the alarm went off this morning. But it wasn’t my alarm. It was Husband’s alarm. That meant that it was almost 6, and an hour and a half later than I should’ve been waking up for my workout. You know how when you realize you’ve woken up late, you have thatContinue reading “The Most Monday of Mondays”
Mixed Bag
Per usual, I got on a roll, stuff came up, I stopped blogging, and now I’m all motivated again and ready to get this show on the road. So what’s different this time? I hit a big milestone. I don’t normally start workout programs and do them all the way through – I get bored,Continue reading “Mixed Bag”

While it was entertaining and I got a little bit of information out of it, I also discovered a problem: None of what I found wasContinue reading “Not a Beginner, Not a Competitor”
Strength and Persistence
One of the messages that I’ve been hearing over and over again during the past few weeks is that fitness is a journey, and everyone’s journey looks different. It’s caused me to really reflect on what my journey has been like up to this point. How far back do I go? When I look back,Continue reading “Strength and Persistence”
26 Days Later
It’s rare that I choose a fitness program and follow it day-for-day. I like to do my own fitness routines, do what I feel like doing. Use the variety of workout equipment I have at my disposal. But I started the new 80 Day Obsession routine on Beachbody On Demand. Every morning during the workContinue reading “26 Days Later”
Coping
In the middle of the night on Friday, a beloved family member passed away. He was 44 and had so much spirit and amazing sense of humor. I’m 30, and this is the first time in my life that I’ve lost someone close to me. I’ve been trying to navigate everything I’m thinking and feeling,Continue reading “Coping”
The New Year Bandwagon
For reasons I can’t explain, I hate New Year’s resolutions. I think it’s because, at the end of the day, it’s just another day. It’s just another date on the calendar. There isn’t really anything special about starting a new year. What I do understand is the need to pick a date as your “start” dateContinue reading “The New Year Bandwagon”
