It’s Ok If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going

Oh, hey there! It's been a while and I keep thinking about how I really want to get back into the swing of blogging, but I keep getting hindered by this idea that I need a good topic, it needs to be perfect, blah blah blah. I decided I just need to get over it …

Navigating Uncomfortable Conversations

How do you navigate uncomfortable conversations? This is a topic that’s been weighing heavily on my mind recently. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had some uncomfortable conversations involving disagreement that have gone really well and others that did not. The conversations that felt good felt productive, safe, and genuine. The conversations that felt …

It's okay if you're not okay right now. Having your routine overturned, not being able to work, having more time than you know what to do with it - this has been a time of trial and for many of us, it's new territory.  We've been dropped down in an ocean of uncertainty, crazy things …

My Recent Breakup

Hey everybody, It’s been awhile, I know… eight months, to be exact. But the exciting part about taking a hiatus, at least for me, is that I always come back more inspired than ever! This year is my golden year. My best friend and I (whose birthday is also on the the 24th) were looking …

Coffee & Some Thoughts on Life

Hello! Today, I want to address my thoughts and feelings about something that I have yet to really acknowledge since I started this new blog : my return to fitness blogging.
