Why Don’t We Move? It’s Not a Lack of Knowledge
Ditch the Lecture, Feel the Truth I’m at a health conference, and some movement expert’s yammering away about why we need to move, spouting science while we’re all stuck in chairs, stiff as boards from sitting all day. What do you know? I’m bored out of my mind, itching to…

What Is Fitness? Part 1: The Power of Cardio
Redefining Fitness There’s a lot of confusion about what it means to be fit. Do you need bulging biceps? Ripped abs? Two hours in the gym? Must you run if you hate it? No, none of that defines fitness. Fitness is simply being able to do physical activities, handle daily…
We are Fearless. We are Feminine. We are Female.
Looking back at my old website—15 years ago, or so—when I first launched my health and wellness coaching, I realized my passion for helping others liberate their health and lives has always been in my blood—a true calling, one of my greatest purposes in life. Those memories flood back: my…
