Learning to Love Yourself with Dr. Kelly Brogan

I have noticed what mean people we can be–to ourselves. We treat strangers better than we treat ourselves. We speak kinder to our “frenemies” than we do to our reflections. Of course, we are all a work in progress and life is just hard sometimes. We are struggling to fix our brokenness, to move forward, […]

Triathlon Legend, Chrissie Wellington on The Same 24 Hours Podcast

For me, Chrissie Wellington is the epitome of heart, grace, athletic prowess, mental toughness …and kindness. I was inspired by Chrissie from the second I entered the sport of triathlon–and I continue to be inspired by her to this day. Her new book, To the Finish Line : A World Champion Triathlete’s Guide to Your Perfect […]

Remember waaaaay back when I was attempting Ironman Coeur d’Alene – my first Ironman in 2013?  Well, some of you do, and some of you don’t.

The Year of No Nonsense

Shonda Rimes (producer of shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal) has a great book called The Year of Yes,  where she, as a former ‘no to everything’ type gal started to say yes–to events, to invitations and more. She basically started showing up to her own life, and everything changed for her. I know that feeling. I took some […]

Gratitude and Dabs

Today was one of those perfect productive days.  I have noticed that these types of days have become exceptionally rare.  Like, I don’t know how many times in the past two years I have had a day like this.  During the moment, I didn’t see what was going on… but I soon realized I could […]

Tribe Conference 2017: Creative Gratitude

“If we set goals that are too big AND we continually fail at them, then goal-breaking becomes part of our identity. Give yourself smaller goals and crush those first.”  – Jon Acuff Back in 2011 I had a friend, Susan, who told me write your damn book. I had complained that I wanted to write a […]

Meredith: The Fat Shamer
