I'm also sharing the latest updates on our move to Utah- all while recording from a campsite in the middle of nowhere Georgia.

I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on the Extraordinary Podcast hosted by Connie Durham. In this interview, I share a bit about my past and upbringing and how it shaped who I am today. You will hear how I overcame some pretty traumatic situations and how I chose a different path that has given me a joy-filled life and thriving marriage. My relationship is not "perfect." In fact, Adam and I are opposites in many ways and it took a lot of communication to get us to where we are today. If you are struggling in your marriage and constantly wondering if you chose the right partner to d ..read more

I am the healthiest I have ever been in my life at 41 years old and I have the FASTerWay to Fat Loss program to thank for that. Back in my 20s and 30s, I was undereating and over exercising. If you have small kids, I'm sure you can relate.  When you're so busy managing the house, running errands, and child-rearing, it's easy to put yourself last- especially if you don't have a plan. That's why the FASTerWay has been perfect for me. I don't have to think about what I'm going to eat that day or what workout to do- it's all built in to an easy to follow app on my phone. In this week's ep ..read more

Stress. We all have it. I’ve been in a ragey funk since deciding to list our house on the market and move across the country. Even though it’s what I wanted to do and what I believe is best for my family, it has still brought on a lot of stress. But the thing about stress that most people don’t realize is that your body can’t tell the difference between the kind of stress that comes from a lion chasing you and the kind of stress caused by having to clean my house with 7 kids around. Obviously one is more dangerous than the other, right? But our body goes into fight or flight mode either way ..read more

We have a lot on our plates as we prepare for our move out west. We're preparing our home to list on the market and it got me thinking about integrity. It seems not many people have it these days. There are a few minor issues with our house that I feel determined to fix before listing it for sale as a matter of integrity. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I sold a home with a leaky roof to an unsuspecting buyer. I didn't always have the most integrity. This week, I share a story from my teenage years involving theft, but that actually shows my true entrepreneurial spirit that I po ..read more

Did you know I am a certified health and fitness coach through the FASTer Way to Fat Loss Program. I've been using this program myself for over 2 years and have seen tremendous results in my own health and now want to offer my services to you! I'm a crossfit burnout and didn't ever have a good nutrition strategy until I joined the FASTer Way. Eating intuitively wasn’t working for me- I was running off of cortisol and my natural high energy at the cost of adrenal fatigue and muscle wasting. I was undereating and over caffeinating, not sleeping enough and working out too hard. I  ended up ..read more

Since returning home from our trip to Utah and starting to plan our move out west, the kids have had mixed feelings about our impending transition. This could lead me to feelings of mom guilt as I wonder things like, "am I doing the right thing?" "is this the best decision for our family?" and so on. But the truth is, as moms, we're all just doing the best we can. It's easy to let society's opinions about how we should parent and raise our little people affect the decisions we make and our own feelings about our choices, but I challenge you to stand firm in your beliefs and release the mom g ..read more

Since getting back from our snowboarding trip to Utah, Adam and I have had a strong feeling of wanting to move from our home in Georgia.  Do you ever get that feeling of "unsettledness"? It leads many people to battles with anxiety but I am under the belief that when people feel unsettled for an extended period of time, that feeling comes from living a life that is no longer aligned with where you want to be.  In this episode, I break down my beliefs on the subject of following those signs from God and gut feelings to make a change AND share with you our big news!  Let’s Conne ..read more

Afraid to start a new business even though you feel so discontent in your current job? My guess is, you're facing the 5 Ds of Doom.  As a mom of 7 kids, I have a million excuses to not focus on my business.

Do it ugly. Go hard. Don’t look back."  Let’s Connect! I share tons of business tips and more behi ..read more
