Decision fatigue is a very real thing!
You may not like this truth but your brain does have a limited capacity to make decisions on any given day. When your brain is fatigued… it tries to conserve energy by choosing the path of least resistance. It wants to take the EASIEST route.

If you want to end the START/STOP cycle of showing up for yourself so you can improve your health, bookmark this post. And if there is something here that confuses you, let’s break it down…
Cheers to ending the Monday morning “do over” madness.
You know what I am talking about. You decide you are finally ready to start taking better care of yourself (for real this time). So, you commit to working out 5 days a week (bootcamp style, of course)…
How 2020 reminds me of motherhood.
The only thing I can really compare the chaos of 2020 to is motherhood. The first year of motherhood was not a pretty transition for me. Nope, my transition into motherhood more closely resembled a class 5 hurricane.
What the diet industry doesn’t want you to learn…
To lead yourself in a powerful way you’ve got to learn how to trust yourself in a powerful way. In fact, I would argue that this is more powerful than most actual “superfoods” being sold to you.

All month long on the Grace & Grit Podcast we are talking about what it means to take “Unrelenting Ownership” for how you are showing up along your health journey. Because here’s the truth…

Do you have the courage to be disliked?
No one LIKES being disliked but the truth is NO ONE is universally liked. What over a decade of coaching women has taught me, is this: Spending your precious life energy trying to get other people to like you comes at a very, very steep price. What is that price?...
It doesn’t matter why you think you can’t. You absolutely CAN.
