Step 17: Seek Out (and Sniff-Test) New Ideas

Today, I want to help you seek out and sniff-test some new ideas. But first, let's review our roles: You are the expert on you. I am an integrative health coach. And if you hire me for that role, I partner with you to create healthy lifestyle behaviors that you've been unable to put in place alone. But it's not me telling you what to do. It's a partnership. My other role is as … [Read more...] about Step 17: Seek Out (and Sniff-Test) New Ideas

You are Awesome: A Manifesto

You are awesome. Though you probably don't believe it. It's easy to forget our awesomeness when we stare at magazines, secretly wishing we looked like someone else. We want to be more of this, or less of that. Comparing ourselves to others, never truly knowing what's going on in their lives, we convince ourselves that they have it all together. And that we don't. But our mindset is only the … [Read more...] about You are Awesome: A Manifesto

One System (7 Steps) to Speed Up Your Album-Making

Do you have albums you’ve started but never finished, or some you’ve never started but still would like to complete? Want to finish them this month? Wouldn’t that be AMAZING!? You can do it, if you employ a speed technique called Power Layouts. I first tried this method when I had a toddler who took 90-minute naps. I hadn’t been creating scrapbooks very long, and I was S-L-O-W. The first … [Read more...] about One System (7 Steps) to Speed Up Your Album-Making

Photos from the Trash: One Goal for Today

A woman hurried into my house for a workshop one afternoon and promptly announced that she wanted to show me something. She approached with a small stack of photos in her hand. When I was 7 years old, I found these photos in the trash. My parents had gotten divorced, and my mom decided she didn’t want these anymore. They were wedding photos. Photos from the trash. But I decided that … [Read more...] about Photos from the Trash: One Goal for Today

Join in on The Great Thanksgiving Listen

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I am grateful that I can spend time with people I love, eat delicious food, and remember the blessings in my life. I love having the Macy’s parade and the football games on the TV in the background as I prepare for our guests. Now that we host the family meal, though, it takes some effort for me to be intentional ALSO about capturing memories on that … [Read more...] about Join in on The Great Thanksgiving Listen

People typically have questions about health coaching, whenever I introduce myself as a coach. And often, depending on the time someone has to talk, the questions start out general and then move to the specific and personal. Perhaps you have a few questions yourself. So today, let’s take a look at some of these frequently […]

How have you been wanting to challenge yourself ph How have you been wanting to challenge yourself physically? 

Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.

But it's important to build in rest days, too. Taking regular breaks allows your body to recover and repair. Otherwise, you may risk overtraining and injury, or burnout. Rest days could mean chilling on the sofa or engaging in more active rest - taking a gentle walk, foam rolling, or practicing yoga.

What's your schedule of exercise, physical activity, and rest look like this week? What positive effects will that have in other areas of your life?

These English peas were so good, they're getting t These English peas were so good, they're getting their own post. 

First, shelling them took me back more than a few years to when I would shell butter beans and black-eyed peas alongside my grandmother and look forward to our supper together. 💚 We all have memories and associations attached to different foods. What are some of yours? How do they show up in the choices you make around eating?

Second, these peas were delicious and simple, boiled for one minute and seasoned with real butter and salt. What a gift! It's garden season, y'all. What are you most looking forward to preparing for yourself this summer?
