A bad day for your ego is a great day for your soul.

Sometimes you've got to make your work and workouts co-exist.

The past doesn't define you, your present does. It's okay to create a vision of the future because it affects your behavior in the "now," but don't dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and focus those lessons in the moment. That's where change can really happen.

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

Witnessing the bond between a parent and their little ones firsthand really brought home to me how much I was missing.

I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier, healthier life. When your health is strong, you're capable of taking risks. You'll feel more confident to ask for the promotion. You'll have more energy to be a better mom. You'll feel more deserving of love.

I felt the calling to adopt. You just know in the deepest part of your being that you are meant to find this little soul and guide them through life.
