A lot of the best “health care” strategies are actually FREE.
The health and wellness market globally is worth trillions of dollars (yes, really… just google it).
Which is fascinating considering the large majority of things that are going to dramatically improve your health don’t actually cost a dime.
No amount of kale is going to increase your sense of self-worth.
Your worth is already baked into your humanity. (read that again, then maybe 10 more times to sear it on your brain)
The diet industry, which makes bank off your insecurities, would like you to believe otherwise.
It sells you on the idea that you can and should…
This simple shift is a #GAMECHANGER.
Self-discipline is an extension of self-love.
Yet, so many women are living their lives as if you can practice one without the other.
I have advocated for the practice of BOTH, which is why my business is Grace AND Grit, not Grace OR Grit…
You know the next right step.
In all the years I have coached, you know what I have NEVER found to be true?
That someone does not know the next right step to take to move the needle of progress in their life.
They always know.
You do too.
And…
THIS will influence EVERY SINGLE relationship you have.
To advocate is to take a public stand for something.
And in the work that I do, helping women to put their healthiest years ahead of them by stepping into their most authentic and fully express selves… learning to advocate for yourself is a REALLY big deal.
What you believe about yourself and your possibility will influence EVERY SINGLE relationship you have…
Permission to be all in.
Being a working mom has been one of the biggest rumbles of my life.
I love my kid AND I love my work.
There was a time when I was always either stressed about work when I was spending time with my kid or stressed about not being with my kid when I was working.
Are you governed by self-doubt or self-trust?
Considering the effort I put into caring for my health, I think my health should be perfect, BUT…
Last year I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that I have probably had for years (my bone marrow is an overachiever in platelet production).
Considering how much time, energy, and heart I have put into the Grace & Grit podcast over the past 6 years, I’d like to have…
What to do when summer shakes up your routine!
There is so much opportunity to shake up routine in the summer.
• BBQ’s
• Camping Trips
• Lake Days
• Travel
And I see one of two patterns emerge with my clients this time of year…
Confidence is EVERYTHING.
There are over 240 episodes of the Grace & Grit podcast that span a wide range of women’s health topics and do you know what the most downloaded episodes have been about?
Not diet.
Not exercise.
Not how to lose 30 lbs in 30 days (just making sure you are paying attention… as if I would ever publish an episode on that topic!)
Love is always a choice.
I arrived in Houston yesterday with my son to spend some time with my father. I don’t see him as often as I’d like to. Yes, because COVID threw a wrench in visitations, but also because my amazing dad has been caring for his wife w/ Alzheimer’s disease…
How behavior change actually works.
Rumble & Rise is an incubator of support, education and incredible resources to help you practice the things that will improve your health… with more ease, grace and, of course, consistency.
A few of the principles that guide my work.

Lymphatic Health w/ Lisa Gainsley

Women’s Health Reimagined
Eating a perfectly clean diet while you slave away at a job you hate, is not health.
Exercising aggressively every day because you associate worthiness with how you look is not health.
These are lies we’ve been told for too long. A bill of goods sold by an industry that is booming as a result of marketing to womens’ insecurities.
Closing the gap between KNOWING and DOING
You don’t need a complicated protocol or get-thin-quick scheme, you simply need to learn a few shifts that can make a profound difference in your ability to do the things you already know will nourish you on a more regular basis.
Health is not a look or an achievement.
Sustainable health practices are not cultivated by dismissing your unique individuality and following cookie-cutter protocols. Deep health requires that you develop radical self-honesty and self-trust, which can be tough if you have spent years not trusting yourself and are riddled with self-doubt.
Do you want to live your life by default or by design?
Is it scary to do things you have never done before? Yep. Will you have to lean into discomfort to create new possibilities for your life? Definitely.
Community is essential.
Though I am a HUGE advocate of self-leadership in the health arena and beyond, self-leadership does not mean “going it alone”.
Developing a practice of consistency with things that nourish you w/ Mary Miller Brooks
Such a fun conversation with my dear friend and nutritionist extraordinaire, @marymillerbrooks about all things consistency.
Do you have any of these limiting beliefs?
Consistency may not be sexy but it really is the only path to sustainable change. And, there are a lot of interesting beliefs about what consistency is, like…
What is on your “spring cleaning” list?
Spring just might be my favorite season because everything comes to life again. Including me! It is a time of renewal, hope and so much possibility!

The real work doesn’t actually begin until the novelty starts to fade.
My personal and professional experience has taught me that deep health is not found in a new meal plan or exercise program, but rather on the other side of deep inner work.
Key ingredients for embracing the aging process w/ Julie Angel
Aging… it’s a thing. A thing you can’t escape.And yet… I work with women every single day who are trying to return to a version of themselves they used to be…
