Sunshine...is there anything quite like it?? We don't think so, which is why you'll find us iGniting (working out together) outside any and every chance we can! Sadly however, our world has become dominated by indoor activities and the reliance on artificial lighting. We're seeing a rise in disease, depression and sleep disorders, and I believe it's all connected. Excitingly though, what was true from the beginning of time remains to be true today, which is: exposure to sunlight is not merely a pleasant sensation but a vital component of overall well-being.

She's also a wife, mother, fellow iGnite Renew Year Retreat enthusiast, and new author. It's the subject of her book, that we talk about in today's podcast. In June 1991 when Simone was a 21-year-old college student, traveling abroad with her best friend Tina between junior and senior year, she fell off a night ..read more

I love women's health and fitness. It's been my passion forever and I've built a business out of this love. I can tell you all day long how important it is to be strong and healthy in body, mind and spirit, and you can understand it intellectually, but then something happened to my dear friend and iGnite member, Dr. Marion Forbes, that illustrated the importance of strength in a way that is 100% hard to ignore. I met Marion about 8 years ago when she joined iGnite in Austin, Texas. She was brought into iGnite by our amazing Pilates and yoga leader, Amy Younkman (if you haven't heard Amy's pod ..read more

Can we have an honest moment? Valentine's Day is sweet and cute but so overrated and ridiculously expensive. Because of this, I always remind my husband that while I love flowers, DO NOT purchase overpriced flowers for me on Valentines and definitely don't make reservations for an overvalued fixed-menu dinner. Needless to say, he's always relieved! However, I do enjoy doing a little something special for the whole family, like surprising them with a candlelit "fancy" meal and yummy dessert. It's never anything crazy, but it's out-of-the-ordinary and fun! For this year's Valentines dinner, I'm ..read more

As mentioned in the Power of WE Episode 6 with Executive Coach Martha Lynn Mangum, gratitude is one of my core values. I believe in the life-changing effects of gratitude, for both the giver and receiver, which is why every November for about the last ten years, our iGnite community participates in something we call "GratefulGrams". To each class in the two-ish weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, our Class Leaders bring pens and pre-printed notes with the headline, "I'm grateful for you", and members are encouraged to reflect and write a little note of gratitude to anyone at all.
