Even after going through a series of colonics appointments, adapting a more clean living lifestyle (mostly vegan foods and green juicing), I was still having some digestive issues. Though no longer dependent on coffee to help me take care of my morning business in the bathroom. Rather hot lemon water and green juice was all I needed. For someone like me with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), this was a huge triumph!

However, it wasn’t until my colonics practitioner suggested that I get tested for food allergies, that I seriously considered this further. It was time to get to the bottom of this. As flushing my system out of what was irritating it with regular colonics appointments, didn’t seem like the end all be all solution. This led me to ask my [Continue Reading...]

Today I want to share some life-changing insight with you from a book that made me realize that everything I’ve ever achieved was because of the principles behind it. I recently finished reading The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success by Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCCESS Magazine and NY Times bestselling author. Of course, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of this book.

There were so many ah-ha moments in this book that just explained why when I had approached life or a challenge in a certain way that it either worked for me or against me. One ah-ha moment for me was the fact that overnight success is not how it happens, but it sometimes appears that way to others.

Rather it’s about staying with something [Continue Reading...]

Get this! Sometimes there’s a big tug of war between FEAR of Failure and FEAR of Success, and ultimately you may just give in because you’re so exhausted and unsure which side to take. The REALITY is you don’t need to take either side. Unless, you want to let FEAR run your life, strip you of your sense of worth and passion for life, and then drag you into the ground and mud!

A few weeks ago, I was a Guest Speaker at Half Hollow Hills High School West (3 classes back to back!) and I discussed with the students the topic, Learning to Embrace Change in Your Life and Career. Without a doubt, Embracing Change is so essential to master, especially if you want to achieve some big goals and conquer your self-limiting beliefs, fears and doubts!

It’s when I’ve stepped forward, believed in myself, stayed committed to the outcome and true to myself, that’s when some powerful moments happened in my life and career!

In this video clip from that day, I shared with the High School Students, How I became a Half Marathon Runner & then got featured in FITNESS Magazine for the July/August 2012 issue.
