monday morning encouragement: i’m doing whole 30 (again)
January is the time that everybody & their mother (literally, their moms) start trying to eat healthy again after the holidays. So many people make a resolution to lose weight, go to the gym, & be all around better again. But sadly, this month & the start of a new year don’t hold any more…

monday morning encouragement: reflection
Oh boy, this year has already been a doozy for me. I have had no motivation to do the projects I want to accomplish. I have no oomf to get me going in the badass girlboss direction I want this year to head in. I don’t even have the energy to write down the goals…

monday morning encouragement: dream up & on
What’s getting in your way today from doing that something that you love? Is it your own doubt? Is it finances? Is it the creative rut you feel stuck in, or the people around you who say you just can’t do it? Whatever or whoever is stopping you from living out your dream today, I…

monday morning encouragement: more body love
I don’t ever remember a time when my pant size was less than double digits. When all of my friends in middle school & high school were wearing hip hugging jeans, I was wearing stretchy denim pants that were high waisted. I was okay wearing pants that weren’t “in” so that I could feel comfortable…

monday morning encouragement:
Self-doubt. It’s totally the elephant in the room today. At least for me it has been. It’s the reason that I’ve written & re-written what to say about six times already. It’s made me second guess every single idea I’ve thought was good. It made me hit delete, delete, delete on my all of my…
