A lifestyle blog about being childfree, living with intent, and making conscious choices.
Why you should be the hardest worker in the room Listen, no one is going to do the work for you. Every day is a new day and trust me, it doesn't always feel like it's getting easier. In fact, some days it can feel like you've taken 3,000 steps backward and it's harder than [...]
The word grind means a lot of things in our culture, but what does grind mean in life? It clicked for me finally what this word really means and how we can apply it to our lives. You hear entrepreneurs and athletes say it all the time - they're in the grind. I'v even been [...]
Hey everyone - I'm recruiting! Really... it's for this cool new club that gets the day started before the sun even thinks about rising. We do fun things like workout in a quiet gym, grab coffee in an empty coffee shop, get emails sorted before anyone has a chance to fill up the inbox, and [...]
I'm about halfway through the 75 Hard Challenge, so I thought I'd share my progress and thoughts on the program so far. For those of you who haven't heard about Andy Frisella's 75 day plan for getting strong. I wrote a bit about the intensity of the program and an overview in a blog post [...]

What most people are scared to lose, they rarely stop to think about how it's created and protected. I'm not talking about identity theft protection or ensuring [...]
An original poem about authenticity. I love myself she said.All the eyes darted toward her.I'm unscripted she said. Her papers flew out in every direction.Stumbling through the room, gravity felt heavy.I need to get some air she said.

In fact, most people - myself included when I first began - find it silly to express themselves in this way and rarely catch on to the magic for a prolonged period of time.
