Last week we talked about keeping a beginner’s mindset — giving yourself permission to be new, awkward, and imperfect while you learn. So let’s talk about what that actually looks like in real life. Because most people don’t struggle with change because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They struggle because they try to do too much at once . We go from “I want to feel better” to: working out 5 days a week overhauling our diet cutting sugar drinking more water fixing our sleep It s

After 10 years of doing this, I've noticed an annual pattern... December leaves us wrung out, January shows up with a long list of things we’re “supposed” to fix about ourselves, and by the time February rolls around most of us are quietly wondering why it’s already starting to feel hard again. Here’s what I want you to know: There is nothing wrong with you. If motivation actually worked, we’d all be sleeping better, eating well, moving daily, and checking off our goals witho

If the phrase “New Year’s Resolution” makes you groan instead of cheer, you’re not alone. For many of us — juggling work, family, aging parents, grandkids, and our own health — January feels less like a fresh start and more like a performance review. Suddenly we’re supposed to fix everything all at once: our bodies, our schedules, our eating, our mindset… no wonder so many resolutions quietly disappear by mid-February. What if this year you tried something different — small,

Who’s your favourite superhero? Maybe it’s Wonder Woman, Thor, or Superman. But if you’re over 50 and working on your health, you’ve already earned the cape, even if you’ve never worn one. Real-life superheroes show up, day after day, and do the hard things. And in fitness, that means working out even when it’s uncomfortable or you’d rather be doing something else. Take Jerry, for example. He ran his first Spartan Race at age 75. He trained for months, modified movements to p

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the things that feel good in the moment don’t actually move you closer to feeling your best? That’s the difference between self-soothing and self-care . Self-soothing is about comfort right now. Think: Curling up with a blanket and Netflix A glass of wine at the end of a long day Treating yourself to dessert There’s nothing wrong with any of these. In fact, we all need ways to soothe ourselves in stressful moments. But here’s the catch:

Ever flop on the couch at the end of the day—phone in hand, snack nearby—scrolling, watching, snacking… …but somehow you still wake up the next morning  exhausted ? You’re not alone. Most of us are really good at  checking out —but not so good at  resting . Here’s the thing: Numbing out  feels like rest in the moment… but it rarely leaves you feeling restored.  True rest  actually nourishes your body, mind, and nervous system—so you can show up for your life with more energy,

When life feels busy and overwhelming, it’s easy to tell yourself: “I’ll start exercising when things slow down.” But here’s the...

How many times have you heard (or said): “Well, that’s just part of getting older…” when it comes to aches, stiffness, or low energy?...

When most people think of staying healthy, they think about exercise : going to the gym, lifting weights, walking on the treadmill, maybe...
