5 Steps to Better Sleep

I’ve always been a great sleeper—seriously since I was a baby, sleeping’s been my jam. So when my kiddo wouldn’t sleep—4 years in he’s still not great at it—I was shocked. Did you know that sleeping is a skill?! It’s not something that everyone just innately knows how to do. You have to learn and practice it.

Stressed? Me too.

It’s a stressful time right now. With all of this uncertainty, it’s hard to not feel like you’re on the longest ever rollercoaster ride. One day you’re re-organizing your kitchen cabinets and decluttering the pantry, the next you’re binge watching Tiger King…in your pjs…while eating Mitchell’s pistachio ice cream right out of the carton…all damn day.  The most important thing to …

7 Ways to Weather Life’s Biggest Storms

If you’re feeling anything like me, it feels like the rug just got yanked right out from underneath you. It feels a little scary, a little overwhelming and really really confusing. What we’re all experiencing right now is unlike anything any of us have ever experienced before.  And while the information and opinions that are flying around right now can be tricky …

Why is food so confusing?

Do you ever feel completely confused about what foods to eat? These days, a lot of people are. There’s so much information out there and everyone seems to be doing (and loving) something different. At my kiddos birthday party a few weeks ago people were raving about fasting, keto, Weight Watchers, no carb, low carb, vegetarian, vegan, and more. I’m pretty …

What’s Love Got to Do with It?

Let’s talk about love. A lot of times when people think about love – they think about the fairytale version of love – the hearts, roses, butterflies and happily ever afters. But I think love’s a lot grittier than that. Love is about a willingness to really look at and see someone for who they are – the good, the …

The Power of Gratitude: How Giving Thanks Can Change Your Life

It’s the week of Thanksgiving! My favorite holiday of the year. I love all the traditional Thanksgiving foods (yes please give me all of the stuffing, turkey and pie). The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the football games, and of course most of all the family time and the relaxed vibe that comes with this holiday. There are no expectations to …

Feeling Sleepy Thanks to Daylight Savings? Try this!

I don’t know about you, but this time change has me feeling all out of sorts! It’s soooooo dark so early that I’m basically ready for bed by 6pm (which by the way, feels way more like midnight).  And I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter that others are feeling the same. So I thought I’d share my number 1 …

A strategy to transform your life

The end of 2009 was a really rough time for me. It was just before the holidays when I had had a miscarriage at 14 weeks. Even just typing this now brings tears to my eyes. I can still feel the heartbreak and devastation. I truly did not know how to keep going. This was 2 years into what ended …

Don’t set another goal until you first do this!

There’s a question I’m asked almost as often as I’m asked “Is that your natural hair color?” (The red is real, the blond highlights are fake – just in case you’re also curious about this). It’s an important question (not about my hair of course, the one I’m about to share with you) because the answer is what frames your life. It’s what …

Just because it’s healthy, doesn’t mean it’s good for you

Last spring, while at a Health Coach conference in Miami, I stopped in a juice bar. Fresh juice is always a good idea, right? At least that’s what so many of the health and wellness experts are saying these days. Juice is loaded with nutrients, easy to digest – all good things. And yes, I am definitely a fan of …
