Amy was stretched soooo thin... raising 2 young kids, working nearly full-time during the day, trying to keep her busy household schdule straight (in her head and on paper...well, a giant white board calendar, actually), and THEN she decided to enroll in a master's degree program online. Talk about ambition and focus. But there was a hiccup in her plan…

The “what to do” stuff is literally everywhere — on Google results, in Pinterest searches, during an Instagram scroll session...coaches run ads on social media all the time. Then why don’t we just DO IT!? Well, that’s where things get sticky...

While planning most certainly can help you feel productive… in reality, it all actually does absolutely NOTHING when it comes to actually moving you forward just because you did them. When it's just a plan, you can’t fail, no matter how thorough and confident you feel in that plan...there's safety in staying in that phase.

But you may be wondering: how long does it really take to build a habit? We’ve all heard various theories: 21 days, 30 days, 66 days, 90 days… But what if we’re looking at habit formation duration all wrong? What if, instead of asking how many days it takes, we ask the real question: How many repetitions does it take to form a habit?

When I speak to people who are struggling with their weight, energy levels, meeting fitness goals, and keeping an array of many other...

You may or may not hear many people talk about this... but I've encountered it with enough clients to recognize that it's a real thing: The weird summer slump that shows itself mid-July. You might find yourself feeling a little more meh than you normally do — especially when it comes to sticking with your usual workouts, food choices, or daily habits. When you experience energy dips, it's OK for your habits to lighten up, as well.

You’ve got goals — whether it’s having more energy, reducing stress, improving gut health, or getting your family's meals in order...or any number of goals. It's not just the actions you're taking, but keeping in mind the kind of person you want to be while you're at it.

Just because you don’t see the small changes doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. Decisions that used to take a force of sheer will, now happen on autopilot. The work has been paying off all along. You just didn’t see it happening until it became unmistakable.

Real progress isn’t about perfection. It IS about consistency, even when the circumstances aren’t ideal.
