Add to the list mother, wife, personal trainer, and author of her autobiography Shatter the Sky. Join us to gain some insight into getting motivated, finding inspiration, overcoming whatever life throws at you and share some laughs.

Just a quick note, there are a few glitches in our recordings, but perfection isn't happening in my lifetime. It doesn't have to be perfect to be worthwhile, as much beauty can be found in our flaws. Best just to embrace life and choose joy along the journey.
