All I ever wanted was a family. And the freedom to spend TIME with my family.  

This month celebrates FOUR YEARS we've had the FREEDOM to do just that!!

The end of July 2013 we said GOODBYE to Jayson's JOB as he sent in his resignation.  

We waited until all our debt was paid off. We waited until we had paid for a new car. We waited until we had six months of income in savings. We waited until our Beachbody coaching business was surpassing our previous income by 3x.  

By the end of July 2013 we didn't...

THIS BOOK is speaking to my soul right now!  "Let us awaken now and realize there is greater vibrancy, joy, and freedom available to each of us. There is more power. There is more love and abundance. But gaining access rests on our shoulders. Let us not hope for mere chance to change our story; let us summon the courage to change it ourselves. Some will stand in our way, but we mustn't hide or minimize ourselves any longer. Let us believe faithfully that our dreams are worth any struggle and that it is our time to free ourselves and rise to glory." ...

Let's talk about #hashimotos, #adrenalfatigue, and intense workouts. 🙇🏼‍♀️I've had several fellow autoimmune warriors reach out asking if I'm still doing intense workouts cuz they have heard/seen that they shouldn't be lifting weights or working out hard if they are dealing with an autoimmune disease or have adrenal fatigue.  

Here's the deal--->

"You know that this convention is going to be a bunch of hype and rah rah nonsense, right?"

I'll never forget Jayson saying that to me as we turned the corner to see the Las Vegas lights off in the distance as we drove to our first Summit together.  

Here I was, geeking out excited.  💃🏼⚡️

& Jayson was trying to ensure I wasn't sorely disappointed.  😆

You see, Jayson had been...

Stressed?
Overwhelmed?  
Feeling overly emotional?  
Lots of things on your to-do list?  

Well, I think it's normal to feel that way from time to time. Life can't be all sunshine & rainbows.  ☀️🌈🤷🏻‍♀️

Now I'll admit, I'd love to control ALL THE THINGS, maybe then it COULD be all sunshine & rainbows 😉lol.  

Ain't possible though.  

What I can control is ...

The older my kids get, the more I appreciate the opportunity I have to bring in an income WITHOUT missing out on family experiences. 

This summer has been a series of wonderful memories with my family! & the whole time I've been able to work my business in what I call the "mom cracks" of each day. 
It's all crazy to me cuz growing up I sure didn't daydream about being a working mom. I envisioned a simple mom life. 🏡 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
But ya know what? The more moms I talk to, the more I believe it's HEALTHY for moms to have something of their own on the side. Something where a mom can set TANGIBLE goals that push them out of their comfort zones. 
I feel pretty strongly about this cuz I personally feel a lot of depression moms experience is really...

Day eight of traveling and I'm craving my typical home routine.  

I love traveling, but I also really love the routine I have at home; and when we travel "routine" is a laughable word.  

We woke up this morning in a hotel. And after...

All these times throughout my life I have come to Island Park. 🌲🌲🌲 

But this was the FIRST TIME I have ever gone running here.  😳👀

That's a crazy realization for me! 

The truth is...
