Coffee & Kettlebells

Devan and I sit down and reminisce about my pregnancy and the birth of Ryan Michael! 

We talk about my VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarian), fears that I faced during quarantine, and also the joys, and we dive into the whole birth process. 

You can listen to my episode about Cameron and Maxwell's birth stories to hear about my prior experiences with birth and labor! 

Today we are welcoming Tony & Alisa DiLorenzo to Coffee & Kettlebells! They are the co-authors of the Amazon bestseller: 7 Days of Sex Challenge.

They believe that the healthy combination of sex, love, and commitment is more than the foundation of a strong marriage… it’s the glue that will keep a marriage together. They write, podcast, and coach couples around the world. Tony and Alisa have been married for 23 years and have a son and a daughter. 

If you feel like sex is a taboo topic, don’t shy away. This episode is far more than an episode talking about couples and their sex lives. 

• The funny story about a quick end to their honeymoon phase 
• How Tony and Alisa found themselves to be roommates rather than romantic partners
• The importance of asking the “tough questions”
• Tony and Alisa’s marriage, near-divorce and journey to today 
• Their 60-days of sex challenge  
• How simple acts of service can improve a marriage and a relationship 
• Owning a business together 
• A little insight into my marriage with Devan 
• How marriage and workouts are very similar
• .. and so much more! 

Tony and Alisa are also the co-hosts of the #1 marriage podcast on iTunes! You can check out their podcast here.

It’s time for you to be your best self. This quarantine may have thrown you for a loop, and I am so excited to be back recording on the podcast, sharing how to put yourself back on your to-do list.

I am thrilled to welcome Jacki Carr. Jacki is a Mama, goal coach, motivational speaker, leadership consultant, hiker and so much more. She’s on faculty for Lightyear Leadership, a movement in personal power and wholeness, vision, goal-setting and leadership training.

Jacki started a big part of her career at the powerhouse company,  lululemon, where she learned a lot about leadership, people relations, public speaking and more. Jacki talks about her big pivot from working in Hollywood to working with spandex.

Today we lead with rocking the pivot and rocking the change, now more than ever. Sometimes we are forced to pivot and other times, we choose to pivot. Wherever you are at, whatever vision you have, it takes self-belief, confidence and open-mindedness to make it happen.

We talk about so many things today:

• How big pivots are worth it, regardless of how scary it is
• How  lululemon athletica was a lot more than spandex and why Jacki left a very comfortable job
• Brands that create emotional connections
• Your purpose, your passion, your goals .. those can change often
• Catching yourself off guard by your own personal power
• The gnarly mental battle of motherhood, and how it threw Jacki for a loop
• Understanding “BUSY” - Because You Said Yes
• Accepting burnout with grace
• The difference between Jacki Carr and @Jackicarr
• The power of movement
• ...and so much more

Grab a notebook and listen in. There are so many shining star statements in this podcast that will help you navigate anytime, especially this time living through the uncertainty of quarantine.

Once you tune in, be sure to DM me and let me know what your biggest takeaway is because I know that I learned so many great things from this conversation with Jacki.

A lot of people think of core strength as “six-pack abs,” but as someone well into my third pregnancy, that is arguably the least of my concerns.

Your core is made up of a group of muscles that support both the spine and the pelvis.  It’s what connects the upper and lower body, and a focus on strengthening and maintaining these muscles is so much more than aesthetics.

Today, I am going to give you some tips for strengthening your core every day! Head on over to my Instagram to check out some of the moves I'm sharing with you.

If you love everything you have learned from my podcast and you feel ready to take your health, fitness, and happiness to the next level, start here!

Physical fitness is very important but true transformation comes through mental, spiritual and emotional fitness! 

How you use your body during the time you're not exercising has a big impact on your life. Body language, mindset, and state of being are so key to living a healthy life. Motion creates emotion! 

Move those facial muscles and do things that make you smile and feel good! 

Prenatal health certainly isn’t one size fits all. Every person is different, as is every pregnancy. Take some time to listen to your body, and interpret what YOU need. I hope today’s episode is a good reminder to each of you that you never need an “excuse” to take care of yourself. Making your health a priority is an obligation and a privilege, so let’s jump right in!

Here are my top tips for prioritizing prenatal health! And, truthfully, these are tips that apply to everyone! 

• Stay active!
• Pay attention to your nutrition! 
• Get your rest! 

I dive into each of these topics, so listen in! 

I mention my podcast with Emily Breeze; you can listen to that podcast here!

If Coffee & Kettlebells has made a positive impact in any way on your life, I would be beyond appreciative if you took a few seconds of your time to leave a rating and review.

It’s fair to say that mothers were the inspiration for Burn long before Devan and I were even parents ourselves. All too often, we saw women putting the needs of others before their own- children, spouses, employers, and coworkers. And while motherhood and selflessness are often intertwined, you can’t pour from an empty cup. The seed that started the fastest growing fitness franchise sprung from the notion that women need to set aside time for their own well-being to lead a healthy and balanced life.

We’ve worked towards this end for the last eight years, and continue to do so with passion and drive. But we know that by directly marketing to women, and particularly mothers, we have a responsibility to build both safe and effective workouts at every stage: prenatal, postnatal, and through menopause… we’ve got you! 

From complimentary child watch to custom modifications for your goals, we strive to make the experience exactly what every individual needs. Burn Boot Camp is transforming communities nationwide and changing the way people think about fitness. Start your complimentary 14-Day Test Drive today!

I've been a parent now for 4 years and while I have a lot to learn, I want to share with you 4 of my parenting truths that have helped me raise happy and healthy children. 

From negotiating bedtimes and choosing our battles, my title as a full-time mom is so important to me. That doesn't mean I don't get overwhelmed, frustrated and everything in between. But, day by day, I've learned how I can navigate the bumpy roads that motherhood brings. 

My 4 truths are not the be-all, end-all solution for parenthood, but through this podcast I love to share with you what works for my family! I hope you can stop locking horns and start engaging with even more meaningful time with your little ones, kids and teens alike!

If I have learned one thing on this wild ride, I've learned that mindset is everything. I want you to work on training the voice inside your head to speak with respect to yourself and others. I want you to become an optimist! 

I've gone through times in life where I was letting others rob me of my joy, taking my optimism with them. Today, I've made a commitment that I am in control of living my own life in a happy, fulfilling way. 

Here are some of my tips when it comes to working your way toward optimistic living: 

• Make a mental note every time you have a negative thought. You may be surprised how many pass through your head on a daily basis. 
• Think about what optimism really means. Don't ignore your stress, rethink how you respond to those stressors. 
• Begin each day from a place of gratitude. 
• You are the company that you keep. 

Optimism is a choice.
