A bottle of water can cost:
$1 at grocery store
$3 at the gym
$5 at the movie
$6 at the airport

Same water. The only thing that changed in its value was the location. So next time you feel you aren’t any value, maybe you are in the wrong place.

Just a little midweek reminder💙

🪴 Sometimes growth feels messy… because let’s be honest, it is! It changes everything including the places that feel familiar and things that have “kept you safe”

But growth is also about recognizing what has bound you up and held ya back. Sometimes… you need new surroundings to become all you were created to be. 🪴

I’ve repeatedly read these stats and I am starting to believe them after 2.5 weeks near saltwater last month. Have you noticed that beyond just relaxing, your body feels different after a visit to the ocean???

🌊 Ocean water composition: sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium
(Some say it’s similar to plasma composition)

🌊 Saltwater restores electrolytes,
☀️ sunlight boosts vitamin D & serotonin,
🏝️ Being in sand barefoot is grounding and resets your nervous system
(I’ve read it pulls heat/inflammation out)

This isn’t just mental… it's biology.

That's why being in the ocean feels like medicine!

You are made by the same Creator of nature. And He’s pretty infinitely smart to give us what we need. So when you step away and enjoy it… your body begins to repair.

Now if I could just figure out how to get a prescription for insurance to cover trips quarterly 😆😉

Happy Summer friends.

April… blew in, flew by and blew away.
The ramp up of life after winter began with Easter, was filled with photoshoots (REALLY Windy photoshoots 😂), coaching clients, speaking events and milestones, but very FEW phone photos to share…. 😅😂

Got to jump on a plane to see our Kansas girl, hardly saw my hubby except across the room or on FaceTime, celebrated our son’s birthday & inched closer to a season of rest.

I am thankful for all God is doing in this season. And for the moments when all I have is a hallelujah… even with tired hands raised. Thankful for this life we live, the people we serve and the work we love.

There is nothing new under the sun! :)
Happy Monday.

Maybe it isn’t so much about becoming anything as it is about “unbecoming” everything that isn’t really you so you can become who God made you to be in the first place.

I could quantify all the ways that a journey to “healthy” isn’t just physical size or scale, often it is mental, emotional and spiritual.

Since becoming a life coach I have learned: People ready for lifestyle changes don’t need to be convinced. Because they are intense about the need to change. It’s almost as if they can’t stop until the do!

Ready.
Coachable.
The hero of their story.

And people who like the idea of change but aren’t there yet … nothing I say, do or post would change that. And that’s okay… because it’s your journey not mine.

I have a few new clients in recent weeks… they have started to unlock the things that have held them back in all these areas. The difference between a healthy individual and an unhealthy? One did the work, and one chose not to.

Are you ready for change in an area of your life? Are you ready to show up and do the work? Because it just might be the most freeing choice of your life!!

As the clock winds down on 2025 I am so very thankful for all that this year gifted my life.

Literally watching client be unleashed,
Businesses reach record breaking stats
Health found, Peace attained, mindsets shift.

To speak to women across the country and be given a moment of their life… unbelievable.

2025 was a year that at times beat me up, but at other times gave me the MOST amazing views.

Hello 2026: a year that will no doubt be one amazing ride!
