Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie" and the "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" -- both books are incredibly moving and inspirational. In terms of life-changing, I'd have to say that I really enjoyed Tony Robbins' "Awaken the Giant Within" and "Your Money or Your Life" by Vicki Robin is a total game-changer when it comes to money.
It's definitely my Fitbit. I'm on my third one and have used it for at least the last 5 years. I love tracking my steps, sleep, weight, everything!!
I definitely meditate for at least 5-10 minutes and ask myself: "What do you need right now, goddess?" That always seems to ground me and snap me out of overwhelm.
Keto, Whole 30, detoxes, cleanses...essentially anything that eliminates entire food groups or people trying to sell "quick fixes" which are usually overpriced supplements.
Definitely meditation and yoga have completely changed how I approach wellness. I was always so focused on nutrition and working out, but managing stress and having a positive mindset really set the stage for your health.
I'm an online fitness and nutrition coach. I help others reach their health goals and it's so incredibly rewarding to me.
The complete shutdown of physical gyms has moved everything online with many people now working out at home.
It's really ramped up things as people are struggling to figure out how to eat right and work out on their own. They need even more support and accountability.
spaghetti squash with lentil bolognese.
"The best is yet to come." This is mantra and I find it incredibly comforting regardless of the situation. Bad times will get better and good times will get even better.
Get some practice. Find a mentor. Do an internship. Don't be afraid to contact people whom you admire.
My wise 12-year-old daughter noticed how driven I was on accomplishing my goals and said "but do you even enjoy the journey?"
A mastermind with an amazing business coach.
