  • What does a healthy weight need to look like?

    Let's do an exercise today. Bring a pen and paper, and be ready to write.

  • Taking Some Time Off to Find What Works

    How often do you feel like you have to be on your A-game all the time? (Oh, not just me?!) Having to work, adult, keep things rolling... gets freaking exhausting.

    I took the executive decision to take July off with my family: I was the designated co-pilot on a 3050 mile roadtrip with my sister and the Littles.

    I learned so much about what worked during the trip, and how I'm applying that to what I want to continue to do now that I'm back home.

    What are you learning about what works for you and your family?

    Take a listen - and then drop me a line with what you're finding out for yourself. [email protected]
