Why am I doing this?

"You're already fit, you're already a trainer, so why in the world are you taking on a new fitness challenge?" 

I'm going to be totally honest with you, while my exterior may look fit, my health is not where I want it to be right now.

Summary

1. The 'Cleaver'

• When you do something, you do it all the way. You are the ultimate Sunday prep person.
• You're going to want to pick your recipes for the week, put each meal on the calendar, grocery shop, chop, cook, and package your meals. It takes up your entire Sunday but the rest of the week you are 100% food-stress free.

Would you have started that blog, or that Etsy shop, or that online course?

Would you be...

Do you struggle with finding balance in your relationship?? Whether it's balance with work, life, and romance, balance with money, or balance with giving and taking, you've got to have the tools to pull things back into alignment when they fall out of equilibrium.

And establishing this stability within the tumultuousness of 2 entrepreneur's lives is something my boyfriend Bryan and I have deep and intimate knowledge of. 

So in today's episode of Life...

Do you ever find yourself so close to a goal you can taste it? All you have to do to achieve everything you ever dreamed of is reach out. It's there for the taking.

In this week's episode of Life Unleashed, I interviewed my good friend, Equinox colleague from back in the day, and extremely talented personal trainer, educator, and nutrition coach, Samantha Nicole.

I'm a girl of habit and can get in the same food routine very easily. So it makes me exceptionally happy when I venture out, try a new recipe, and love it enough to add it to my "regulars" list.
