How much capacity do you have to serve others in t

How much capacity do you have to serve others in the midst of your own story? ✨

How do we hold space for others when are venturing through our own battles? We are often consumed by our own stories. We play the comparison game of who’s hurt is paramount and tend to divvy up support based on where we have chalked it up on the score board of importance or seriousness.

The problem with this is it creates division. Just because what’s important or hard to someone doesn’t resonate with you doesn’t mean they don’t need you to show up. And in my experience, serving others when going through personal struggles actually injects me with more capacity.

Hear me out.

We have been programmed to believe that if our tank is low, we must reserve what’s left — protecting it like Fort Knox. But I’ve come to believe it’s actually the opposite. The more we give, the more we get.

Showing up or hiding space for others doesn’t need to be grandiose. It can be a quick phone call or text, a drive by latte drop off, a listening ear when we ask genuinely “how are you really?”

What if we reframed what being there for others looked like? Maybe if it didn’t seem so hard, it would be easier to do. Simplify it. Call someone you have been thinking of. Let them be vulnerable and open without trying to give advice or fix things.

I’m not perfect at this. In fact, I’ve had seasons where I’m downright crud at it. But I work at it all the dang time. I know that no matter how much I have on my plate, I can be there for others. And, I know others can do it too, because I see it all the time — those I know are going through immensely heavy seasons but are still checking in with me to see how I’M doing. I see you. I thank you, and I’m working to be better at this myself every day. 🙏🏻

Do you show up for others even when you’re fighting your own battles?

You know what’s really hard? The middle. The m

You know what’s really hard? The middle.

The middle of transformation.

The beginning is overwhelming perhaps but it’s exciting! We are motivated and so ready for change. Then the real work starts. Things get hard. Our motivation wanes. Then what to do we do?

Where we lack in motivation we must make up for in mindset. We must come back to our motivating factor and WHY we are doing it.

“I want to work out so I can be lighter — feel better.” Okay. WHY. WHAT would that do for you? HOW would that change your life? WHERE could that lead you? Journal these thoughts and on the days you dont want to show up, remind yourself why it’s imperative that you do.

You gotta get knocked down a few times to get back

You gotta get knocked down a few times to get back up and realize what a bad ass you are.

What stories of adversity have you heard are all about how easy life is? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Because adversity — tough times, those are the experiences that really show you what you’re made of.

When you’re in the thick of it, it will probably feel all consuming. You will doubt yourself and question just about everything, (been there 🙋🏼‍♀️.) But girl, when you rise up out of those ashes into the fabulous phoenix that you are, it will all just be a part of your testimony.

Hold onto that in the moments you feel like you can’t go on. Because you can and you will but the question is, who do you want to become when the dust settles?

A dang badass Phoenix, that’s who. 🦅

Do you ever feel like you are being pulled in two

Do you ever feel like you are being pulled in two different directions? ⬅️➡️

One way pulling you to all of the responsibilities, the never-ending checklist and idea that taking time for you could not possibly be a priority. In fact, that would be selfish. ❌

The other way pulling you towards making time for you, knowing that it will serve you and those around you and the awareness that it’s actually not selfish at all. ✔️

Today on both of my coach calls we just barely scraped the surface on this topic. (Don’t worry ladies, we will be diving way deeper into it next week. 😉) But, man it is a big one. How do we fit our self-care into our busy lives? How could we possibly carve out the time? In session 1, we dive into beginning to create habits that allow us to be both an amazing mama/partner/friend/family member AND make ourselves a priority. We will learn how to create sustainable lifestyles that fit into actual real life! We have heard it before, but us mamas really can do it all. 😉

If you’re interested in booking a discovery call with me, slide into my DM’s. That’s what the cool kids say right? 😎

This week during my course, we talked a lot about

This week during my course, we talked a lot about fear. What we fear most, how fear hinders us, and how to help clients work through their fears. We talked about how when you stop letting fear control you, is when you accomplish the most incredible things. It got me thinking about how fear has played a roll in my own life.

In the sport of wrestling, we had many tournaments throughout the year. At these competitions, your ‘match number’ would be called and you would go warm up by the designated mat. But I learned quickly that the match didn’t start when you stepped into the circle, but rather during these warm ups. You see, the match is just as much mental as it is physical.

I would stand on one end of the mat, my opponent on the other as we waited for the couple of matches before us to finish. Every single time I hopped around getting warm and stretching, I was scared. My stomach would be in knots and my heart thumping. But, I was laser focused. I would make eye contact with my opponent and give a slight head nod as if to say “good match and I’m not here to play.” 😉 There were times I was terrified, but I stood firm in my brave persona. I would never let her know how nervous I was, even if she was a 3 time national champ. 😅

I was nervous for every. 👏🏻 single. 👏🏻 match. But every match, I stepped out onto that mat and gave it my all. No team to depend on, just me, my mental warfare and my opponent.

Those years shaped me.

There is some deep work that happens when we face our fears -- when we feel fear but do it anyways. It takes practice. I had 10 years of it and it’s still difficult for me at times! But, the idea that everything we want is on the other side of fear is really something we can take into all aspects of our life. Has anything really huge and life-changing ever NOT felt scary? Did you shy away from it if it did and stay in your comfort zone? How different might life be if you stopped letting fear control you?

Did you know that some of the most common human fears are fear of failure, humiliation, judgement and acceptance? 💥

What’s something you have always wanted to do but let fear stop you?

I found myself smiling today throughout the majori

I found myself smiling today throughout the majority of my workout. When I noticed it, I giggled. Who smiles while doing jump squats? But then I realized that the feeling causing this smile was gratitude — an overwhelming sense of pride for how far I’ve come and how hard I’ve worked.

Showing up every day and doing the work, both physical and mental is not easy. But when you do it consistently, then you have days like I did today when the depth of your progress hits you like a freight train.

I’ve been consistent all throughout summer — a season known for no routines and indulgences easily at arms reach. I’ve found a balance that works for me between health, fitness, nutrition, mindset. I’ve found the balance it takes to really be sustainable in a lifestyle that I will never quit on. Because once you know how good it feels to feel good, it’s tough to go back. It’s not an option.

This is your mid-week reminder that you can do hard things. Because it’s not gonna be easy. Nothing with such a huge pay off ever is. But it will be worth it.

What’s something you’re proud of accomplishing this summer?

New school year, new business hours!!!

What a beautiful summer I have had home with my kiddos. I submersed myself into motherhood the last couple months and now I am ready to dive into a little more mom/work life balance.

Starting next week I will be resuming MON/WED/FRI 10am-2pm work hours. That’s 12 hours of undivided time dedicated to clients and my coaching biz. If you’re a busy SAHM mama, then you know how limited work windows can be. I am so excited!!!

If you’re one of my practice clients that have decided to come on board, expect info to come your way by next week!

If you’re someone looking for fitness/nutrition/life/wellness coaching, let’s get you started.

“In you must go.” In the 1980 Star Wars episo

“In you must go.”

In the 1980 Star Wars episode ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ there is a pivotal scene where Yoda is training Luke to be a Jedi warrior and use the force. He explains to him how the dark side of the force — anger, fear, aggression etc. will consume him if he doesn’t learn to find inner peace.

In this scene Luke must enter a cave that is strong with the dark side of the force. When Luke asks what is in the cave, Yoda explains, “Only what you take with you.” As Luke begins to gather his weapons, Yoda informs him that they will not protect him. Luke looks confused and afraid but Yoda responds with a simple, “In you must go.”

As Luke slowly makes his way through the cold and eery cave, he is confronted by his enemy… Darth Vador. They draw their light sabers and Luke promptly slices off Vader’s helmeted head. As the head rolls to the ground, the face guard falls off revealing Vader’s face. Only it isn’t Darth Vader’s face, but instead Luke’s. There Luke stands staring at his own face.

Walking into our own stories of hurt is just like Luke walking into that cave in Yoda’s swamp. It can feel scary, dangerous and we are likely apprehensive. But without fail, what we must confront first is always ourselves.

In one of my favourite Brene Brown books, she explains that the most difficult part to learn and accept about our stories is what we bring to them — what reality we create about who we are or how others perceive us. To truly own our stories we must reckon with our feelings and rumble with the dark emotions that are within us all — fear, anger, blame, guilt, shame, to name a few fun ones. 😜

If we are to refuse and numb these hard to face feelings, then we also numb the good stuff. There is so much great, great joy ready to infiltrate our lives, but not without being open. And, to be truly open, we don’t get to filter which feelings we let in. We either feel it all or live a life with everything dulled down.

With darkness comes light. With awareness comes freedom. Yoda knows what’s up. ✨

Do you have a hard time rumbling with the tough stuff?

Do you operate in the reward system? 🥇

You know the one where you kick your butt in the gym so you can “earn” those tacos later? The one where your workouts at times become a punishment for what you ate or a pre-emptive effort to validate later indulging?

Full disclosure, I used to operate here too. But, the problem with this mindset is what it cultivates – high highs and low lows. You’re on cloud 9 after a killer workout and go into taco night feeling FAB. But then you overindulge because hey, you earned it! And thennnnnn, you feel like crud. You beat yourself up about it and the next sweat session is less about self-care and more about working off those extra calories you ate. It’s an endless cycle.

What if instead of ‘earning’ indulgences, you made intentional choices? What if eating the chocolate cake isn’t a reward for how hard you worked today but instead, an indulgence because you feel like choclate cake and life is meant to be lived!

As our mindset shifts over time, our workouts become more about how great those endorphins make us feel and less about earning a reward or working a reward off.

I’m tellin’ ya – it’s a gamechanger.

I’ll be offering coaching specific for this mindset growth in the new year and I can’t wait to watch womens lives change. Do you struggle with the ‘reward system’ mindset?
