Clearing My Plate

  I do it to myself, the busyness, the overcommitment, the feeling that I am the only one that can do it, so I must do it all. In actuality the people and tasks that need me the most, I've been avoiding, telling myself they don't need me or not prioritizing appropriately.  This spring I was at a tipping point, each night I was either at a school event, teaching yoga, coaching Girls on the Run or driving from one place or another, speeding along the way, to be at an activity for my kids. We were barely eating diner together as a family, maybe once a week. I haven't been working out, even my work out app We Rise , reminded me that it's been a while since I tracked a workout. The house was a mess, dog hair everywhere, dishes in the sink, clean clothes in laundry baskets just being recirculated through and the bathrooms, don't let me get started on bathrooms. When you live on well water, bathrooms are the worst to clean.  You might be saying, why don't you get your ...

Supportive Partners

I'm very grateful for the support and non-judgement from my husband through my health and wellness journey. There have been huge changes in our lifestyle that where not planned out, but have proven to make a profound difference in both of us.  April is a significant month for us in so many ways!! It is the month that both of our childen were born; and in a way it is when we were both "reborn" as well.  April 1st, 2023 (No April Fools) is when my husband experienced cardiac arrest in our home, I performed CPR for six minutes until paramedics arrived. He was placed in a coma in ICU and was in the hospital for eleven days. He had a defibrillator implanted onto his heart because there was no clear indicator of what caused the cardiac arrest.  What was clear, was that both of us needed to change our heath and wellness.  For me, my first step was having more regular visits with doctors. I've never really liked doctors and have a hard time thinking that pills (or shots) wou...

Purposeful Pause

  I rarely sit still. I don't relax like most people think of relaxation. When my house is clean and organized, I feel less anxious. When the grass is cut and clear, I enjoy sitting outside more. I love pulling weeds. It gives me such satisfaction taking the junk out of the ground and manicuring flower beds, by yanking them out and getting dirty. I don't typically sit and just watch television. I'm either on my phone scrolling or working on something on my computer. I'm a veracious reader of non-fiction, historical fiction or stories that involve warrior women overcoming societal norms. Never just fluff reading. Reaction being part of my nature, its been a growth challenge for me to PAUSE.  As a leader I've always believed that I needed to have all the answers, that I needed to have immediate solutions or that everything was urgent. This led me to burnout, making too many mistakes and going back on initial decisions. Being so reactive also caused me not think about ...
