How to Not Waste your Last 90 Days

With 2019 almost a wrap and 2020 right around the corner, it's time to take a look at what we've accomplished the last 9 months. What hasn't been accomplished that you would like to check off of that "to-do" list? Will you waste your last 90 days or will you "thrive?" That choice is honestly up to you! 90 days is still plenty of time to accomplish many goals whether that be financial, health & wellness, building relationships, spending more time in your faith, etc. Once Octob

With this world constantly changing and asking more out of everyone, we are in need of personal and professional growth. Especially if we ever expect to achieve our life goals.

Why it's important to stay in your lane!

With technology developing and expanding at the rate that it is, it's easier than ever to get your hands and eyes on any type of information you want. Want to learn how to install a car part, Youtube has it. Want to learn how to train your newborn to sleep through the night, there is an Ebook on it. Want to learn what medical condition you might be suffering from, WebMD has a suggestion. If there was anything I would call the current generation growing up, it would be called

Avoiding Self-Sabotage

With life being as challenging as it is, sticking to a wellness protocol can be very difficult. I wanted to send this as a reminder that living well is a marathon, not a sprint. Not everyday will go according to your plan. But so many throw away everything they’ve done if something doesn’t go exactly right. Either they have to stay late at work and miss their training that night or they may run through a busy week and can’t find time to meal prep. So, people go on benders eat

Learning to Flip Fear Around

Starting a brand new wellness journey can be very intimidating for most. From not understanding the correct calorie amounts each person should be taking in, to what fitness routine creates the greatest physical results. Each individual goes by their own respective fears when starting on a healthier lifestyle, and most of the time, it's not even nutrition or workout related. A lot of the time, from my experience, I've noticed individuals are fearful of starting on a wellness j

Where Most Beginners Fail

We've all been beginners in our fitness journeys at some point. After you've adopted the habit of working out and eating clean almost daily, it is easy to forget where you started. For some, it can be incredibly difficult just to build up the consistent positive habits. And, that's okay! Every goal will not come easily to everyone. We ALL are on this journey together to stay as healthy as possible so we can live as long as possible. So, how can beginners stop finding themselv

Simple Tips to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain!

Well, we are officially only 1 week away from Christmas! Where did the time go this year? Anyways, during this time of the year, it is always important to remember that this should be a time to mentally unwind and enjoy some festivities with family and friends. Unfortunately, because of the on demand consumerism mentality that our current world has placed us in, it is very easy (VERY!) to get sidetracked by sacrificing some of our core values while rushing out on busy roads t

Do We Need Motivation? [Preventing Disease]

Great Morning Team, One of the biggest things I hear from people on a weekly basis is that they lack motivation. They know that they should be more active and eat healthier; ultimately, they are unhappy with their current health state but simply lack the drive to get up early, stay up late, to workout, to prep the meals, to take the supplements, etc, etc. I sometimes ask myself this… Is the term "motivation" the appropriate word to use in this scenario? Throughout every day,

Beginner's Wellness Tips

HAPPY MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving break. How easily can we fall into the trap of lacking motivation after going back to work from several days off, it's pretty freaking easy! So, I wanted to bring to you (and make public) an older newsletter of mine that was sent out to the subscribers of our Health & Fitness newsletter that can hopefully help some of us get back on track.

Going After What You Want

Great Monday everyone! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and that you are ready to dominate this week! Over the last couple of weeks, I've been blessed with new opportunities that I didn't think would ever be happening. If you would've asked me a few months earlier that I would be in the position that I am currently, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Nevertheless, I wanted to send you off to your work week with something to think about before we automatically dive in

What Nobody Tells You About Weight Loss!

The first step in everyone's weight loss journey should always consist of sitting down in a quiet space and getting really REAL with yourself. It isn't sexy to talk about life choices and writing down your calories for the day but real coaches insist on this. Achieving a long-lasting healthy lifestyle is more than just workout routines and diet tips. It is also about managing stressful situations, overcoming previous habits and having a complete change in our mindsets. Repeat

Morning Routines & Success

Great morning team! It is currently 8am on a cold and beautiful Friday morning and I couldn't enjoy it more. This past week, I've been trying to get back into a more strict & positive morning routine after slipping for a few weeks. Oh how quickly life can throw a curveball at your face and cause you to test your agility! Why are positive morning routines important? Because they set the tone for the day ahead! How is your mental state after you wake up? Are you staying positiv
