I am a humble badass warrior. I am like the Buffalo who goes Charging into the Storm. I face my doubts. I face my fears. I run through the resistance. I get comfortable with the uncomfortable. And I let others show up and support me.

Even when want to talk myself out of it.
Even when I want to lower the stakes.
Even when I want to quit the day before and in the middle of the race. (For real!)

I feel the feelings of nervousness and anxiety and fear. I begin to worry if I’m prepared enough. I begin to have terrible visions of pushing myself beyond my edge that I’m collapsing and throwing up at the end of the race.

Then I remember the way through.
I channel all of that energy into power.
I recognize this [Continue Reading...]

Being the self-development junkie that I am, I can’t even begin to completely describe the sense of renewness and possibilities that fills me when several anticipated books arrive to my condo at the same time. And in this past week, three new books arrived that really spoke to me that I’ll be reading after I finish with Happy Belly.

Of course, you may recognize some of the names of the authors of who I’ve mentioned before, some of my mentors and teachers. I’m thrilled to share my mentors’ books with you, as I always appreciate their thought-provoking and empowering strategies that have shifted me out of fear and into heart-centered living many times over!

By any chance, have you decided yet on a theme or focus for this year? For me, my [Continue Reading...]

When it comes to trying something new or embracing change or facing our fears, I’ve come to realize that sometimes it’s best and most successful to only commit to right now and short term. As in this day, this week, the next 2 weeks, the next month, or the next 3 months.

Because over-thinkers like myself, have a tendency to talk ourselves out of something before we even give it a chance.

How could this possibly work with my schedule?
What will I have to give up or change?
How will I be able to sustain this commitment?
Will this allow for flexibility in my life?

So let me walk you through my 5-step practical approach that I’ve used more recently when I evaluated whether or not to give CrossFit, skill-building and interval training [Continue Reading...]

That moment when…Comparison and Keeping-up-with-everyone-else feeling begins to dissipate. Oh, how liberating it is to show up this way in life wherever we may be and whoever we may be with. When this happens, there’s this distinct knowing and happy feeling that positive change has occurred for you.

Something new is on the horizon, because you are being more present in the moment and open to receiving it. That is what we call a Positive Shift. Because something changed on the outside that reflects your newer internal way of being, your mind shifted, and your presence shifted.

And a few weeks ago, I experienced just that. After reactivating my gym membership (run and practice yoga in the warmer months), I returned back to the gym for Spin class and Vinyasa Yoga. Actually, [Continue Reading...]

Two years ago almost to the exact same weekend in October, I was attending Marie Forleo’s Rich Hot Happy (RHH) Live Event. I remember being wait-listed because I had deliberated too long on whether or not to invest the money in myself and the mission behind C&R Self. (This of course has evolved and more to come on that another time.)

I mean, how could I justify me being worthy enough to say yes to myself in this way?! Was I far along enough in C&R Self to really benefit from this event?

This wasn’t your average modestly priced weekend workshop of a hundred dollars. It was actually a few thousand dollars to attend for two and half days for brilliant coaching and insight of successful entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, NY Times [Continue Reading...]
