Healthy habits are an essential part of life if you want to feel good, move well, and age in a way that doesn't completely suck. Unfortunately, a lot of us struggle with fitting healthy habits into our lives because of TIME. Time is the thing that always seems to get away from us. We're always trying to figure out how to get more or simply give up and say we just don't have it. It varies on why there's so little of it and it's essential that we figure it out so that we can ge

The 30s and 40s can be a little...much. You're busy! You have tons of responsibilities, people have expectations of you at work and at home, and there's those nagging health things that are at the back of your mind...they aren't that bad, though. You'll deal with those cholesterol numbers creeping up later. I mean how are you supposed to address your own needs right now when you have no motivation and ZERO capacity?!

It feels pretty good to be really motivated honestly. And it's great to use it as a springboard. However, you need to know what to focus on first if you want your wellness habits to stick well p

I want to start this out by saying I promise I'm not trying to put your fire out or harsh your mellow. I'm just wanting to present a dose of reality before we get too much further into the new year.

If you're gearing up for the new year with a list of goals you plan to achieve with the thought process "Once the holidays are done I'm going ALL IN!" This post is for you.
