Okay, let’s be real—some mornings, working out feels like climbing a mountain with a backpack full of bricks. Today was one of those days for me. I spent a solid 15 minutes arguing with myself: “Do I workout, or do I just skip it?” I had a crazy busy day…

When we think about health, we often zero in on the physical stuff—weight, diet, exercise, maybe a nagging illness. But true health isn’t just about your body. It’s built on three pillars: Science (physical health), Psychology (mental health), and Spirituality (spiritual health). Skimp on any one, and the whole structure…

Ever felt like your health goals are a fuzzy target, just out of grasp? I’ve been there, but here’s the deal: nailing your goals starts with laser-sharp focus. Well, maybe not the first thing—the first thing is to define what you want and why, believe you can nail it, then…

A few days ago, I stumbled across an old blog post from over 15 years back. My kids are now grown, with little ones of their own, and while my struggles have shifted, challenges still linger—as I’m sure they do for you. Reading that post was a heart-tugging reminder to…

Rest is key to crushing your fitness goals. When you work out, you create tiny tears in your muscles—that’s why you might feel sore a day or two later. Rest gives your body time to repair those tears, making muscles stronger and fitter. I used to hate rest days, feeling…

Finding Inspiration I’ve been immersed in Seth Godin’s The Practice: Shipping Creative Work. It’s inspiring and packed with practical insights. The idea I’m hooked on? Committing to the practice—the process—of creative work, not the product, the end result. Maybe you’re chasing goals too. Maybe you’re stuck on outcomes. You’re designed…

Digging Deeper You might think you know why you want what you want. But do you? I used to think “make more money” or “look better” was enough. It wasn’t. Those surface reasons didn’t keep me going when life got tough. What’s your real “why”? Maybe you struggle to stick…

Brushing Off the Limits At 55, when I hear someone—my age or younger—say what they can’t do because of age, I tune it out. I’m Teflon—those words don’t stick. I’ve walked through abuse, abandonment, and loss. I’ve risen above depression, anxiety, and a disease that tried to take me down.…
