I feel you.
Whether you’re a high-powered professional, a mother, a caregiver, a partner, a worker, a daughter, a friend, or all of the above and more… you’re asked to do a lot.
Many of us spend our days putting out fires, handling to-do lists, driving carpool, wiping little noses, and meeting big deadlines while ensuring other people are fed, safe, and happy.
Here’s the thing: We wouldn’t want it any other way; we just want it to feel better, easier, sexier, and happier.
If you are like me, you enjoy rising to the challenge of supporting others and getting stuff done. That is until your energy runs out and you realize you have no more left over for yourself.
And slowly, after months or years of putting other people first, multitasking, and wrangling that epic to-do list, you get drained. The time you used to be able to spend on self-care and a post-work hot yoga class or a morning run is gone.
Your clothes may feel tighter, and the need for daily sugary treats may increase.
You may have tried a fad diet or five, which worked for 30 days…but that was it.
With so much time spent taking care of others and handling life, you feel like you have lost yourself.
But!
Great news!!
It doesn’t have to be this way.
You can:
- feel healthy, fit, and good in your own skin.
- regain control of your schedule
- show love and appreciation to others while still taking care of yourself.

Lifestyle Habits
These are the behind-the-scenes pieces of the puzzle that make things work. They include your environment, sleep, meal planning, awareness, mindfulness etc.
