What are you waiting for?
This weeks episode I am sharing a not so easy topic on how I have been able to enjoy the holidays struggling with grief/loss.
The journey of loss is never easy and the holidays can be a tough time for some of us. So hear are some stories of how I have been able to get through the holiday and some things I have learned in my journey.
11/29- Here is some Monday Motivation for you all.
Wake up today with a purpose. Don't just go with the flow and run through the motions. Make the most out of today<3
Today I am interviewing a dear friend and member of Burn Boot Camp Clifton Park and her amazing transformation story on how she lost 147lbs!
Terri has such a warm kind soul and the support of community and loved ones around here helped her take the leap - and join Burn Boot Camp.
Being super intimidated in the beginning that didn't stop her. She shares the difficulties getting started, learning to adjust her eating habits, and learn to make herself stronger each and every day.
Hear her incredible journey on how 45min a day changed and saved her life forever!
This weeks episode we take a jump back into talk about MOTIVATION,
This word that has so much meaning.
The Push - Pull Motivational Theory states that there are different forces driving us to our results.
Are we motivated by something pushing us in a certain direction?
Or is something pulling us into a state of passion, higher meaning?
How can we go from pushing things away and finding it hard to stay motivated? To pulling positive energy inward and having long term effects and results in life?
Take a listen!
Fall is my FAVORITE time of year. There are so many beautiful wonderful things to be grateful for and so much beauty with fall.
It's a time for change, transition, letting go, and embracing the person you are becoming. Use this time to be cozy - snuggle up with a cup of coffee, put on your snuggly socks, put your flannel on, and listen to this podcast and enjoy the fall Monday Day <3
Hello All!!!
For the last few months my days have been super duper productive. And in that time I have realized how much I was disliking posting and being a person on social media. I decided things needed to change because well I myself have changed a lot.
Here my new update and how I decided to say "No" to a lot of things I used to say "Yes" too.
I thought I knew my true purpose in life but I was wrong...
I thought I knew who I wanted to be but I was mistaken...
It wasn't until I surrounded myself with powerful people and learned to say YES instead of fighting this inner resistance, that I truly revealed my purpose.
Listen to this weeks episode of my time at BURN SUMMIT 2021 & how it truly changed my life.
In today's episode I am going to open up how I live day to day with a panic disorder. Anxiety is a true disorder that a lot of us deal with everyday. It can hold us back in so many ways and sometimes our loved ones may not understand.
Out of nowhere my world can turn upside and feel like I am holding onto my last breath. When in reality I am having a panic attack.
I'll share my coping strategies and how I choose to look at the future living with a panic disorder and anxiety day to day.
Never be ashamed for your anxiety and embrace who you are.
This is for you if you:
- Constantly get in your own head
-Compare yourself to others
-Self destruct and have self doubt
LISTEN UP!
You have a choice to change that negativity and love yourself for who you are.

I haven't been feeling 100%
I have been off my tracking game, my workouts have been meh....I've felt loss and disconnected. It's been a year and half since the loss of my mom mixed with quarantine and the overall shock COVID has left us.
Here I will talk about how dealing with grief and trauma can really disconnect the mind and the body, and how important they are for overall happiness.
Once we bridge the gap between the two - how much results and things in life start falling into place.

Are you feeling down in the dumps.... in a funk? A big low in life right now.
Not feeling "motivated" to do anything?
Well here are my top 5 tips and actions to help create your own motivation and keep going when we have these moments.
In the podcast I say how I am unmotivated 90% of the time..probabaly.
BUT! I have found ways to change my perspective keep going even when I don't feel like it. I have created ways to find my own motivation withing and not from comparing myself to others.
And it's all about how we DO NOT QUIT!
So let's start this day off on a positive note shall we?
Alright guys.... talking about a serious topic here. The SCALEEEEE!
STOP CARING ABOUT THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE!!!!
Like seriously.... stop...
I have been up and down with my number on the scale and it has not been an easy journey. We have to realize that this numbers means nothing to the progress we have made in our journey and the person we have grown to become.
How you feel in your skin & looking in the mirror is what really truly matters <3

Welcome to Episode 1 of the It. Could. Be. Worse Podcast! I am so excited to kick off this podcast with something positive and real. Is there someone or something in your life making you unhappy and causing stress in your day to day? Are you tired of being tired? Finally ready to live your life the way YOU want to live?
Well listen up! It's SOOOOO possible! Sometimes we have to tune out the world and the others around us and listen to that inner voice pulling us in the right direction. I fought and resisted for so long, till I finally let go of that resistance and now doing the things I LOVE. Living a life that is way less stressful and so much more meaningful.
