My agenda is trying to help people live a better life.

One of my acting teachers once said that rejection is God's protection. There's something in it.

It's impossible to put yourself first when you're a mom.

Part of abandoning the all-or-nothing mentality is allowing yourself room for setbacks. We are bound to have lapses on the road to health and wellness, but it is critical that we learn how to handle small failures positively so that we can minimize their long-term destructive effects. One setback is one setback—it is not the end of the world, nor is it the end of your journey toward a better you.

I am doing the best I can given what I have today.

Failure is all a matter of perspective. Think of all the people you admire. I guarantee you they all failed at one time or another. The key is to recognize setbacks for what they really are-entry points for learning, not validation that you aren't good enough. After a disappointment analyze your actions, get feedback from friends, and take inventory of what you could do better next time. This type of self-reflection and improvement will ultimately make success inevitable.

When it comes to kids, it's just not hard to get them healthy. I don't find it hard and don't understand why people find it hard.
