Take the cold shower. Send the scary message. Apply for the big promotion. DON’T BE DRAMATIC! It’s not as bad as it seems. I was being extra dramatic about my goal to start ending my showers with cold water everyday to see the mental and physical health benefits that come along with cold showers. I have put this goal off for YEARS thinking it would miserable. I finally took my first step and found out I was being overly dramatic about it this whole time. What a waste of time!

Day 26/75 Days of Podcasting and 75 Hard is DONNEEE!! I can’t believe it! I actually finished! After 24 years of identifying as someone with a sugar addiction and multiple eating disorders, I can finally say that I know I have the ability to take control of my eating and daily habits. 75 Hard has given me so much more than just the completion of this challenge. I’m so much more confident is myself as a leader, business woman, wife, friend, and healthy person! If you would’ve asked me last February if I would’ve done 75 Hard, I would’ve laughed at you. I watched so many people try and try and fail. I didn’t want to be one of them. And now I’m proudly one of the ones that finished! If you’re wanting to join my next 75 Hard journey starting March 15th... send me a message! Let’s do this together!! I’m currently hosting a Prep Group to help people ease into the tasks and have a community to help them through! Message me for details! Here’s to Day 26/75 Days of Podcasting!

Day 25/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 70/75 Hard! (Day 71 when this is being posted) Have you ever felt like a fraud when you got close to a goal? 75 Hard has been a crazy ride of emotions. Now that I’m getting so close to the end, I can feel myself getting excited to “drop” these great habits that I’ve spent 71 days creating. I’ve been planning my first cheat meal (which is Valentine’s Day!) and it made me feel like a fraud. I’m sure you can relate - I can be so hard on myself sometimes. I completely forgot that it’s okay to celebrate victories. 75 days with no binge eating, sweets, or alcohol has shown me how strong I truly am. What I once thought completely controlled me is actually totally in my control. Remember to celebrate every victory along the way and continue setting new goals! If you’re wanting to join my next 75 Hard journey starting March 15th... send me a message! Let’s do this together!! I’m starting a Prep Group NEXT MONDAY (the 15th) to help people ease into the tasks and have a community to help them through! Here’s to Day 25/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 71/75 Hard!

Day 24/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 57/75 Hard! All aboard the struggle bus! I had a major case of the lazies this morning, and I had to dive back into my 75 Hard book to see how others were feeling during this part of the challenge. The excitement has faded. People are still asking why. I could really go for a margarita and some a cookies. But I’m damn proud of where I’m at and how far I’ve come. But DAMN AM I READY TO SEE DAY 75!! More like day 76 so I can go dooowwwnnn on all the chips and queso my heart desires! Remember - If you’re struggling.. it means you haven’t given up yet. If you’re struggling.. it means you still care! If you’re wanting to join my next 75 Hard journey starting March 15th... send me a message! Let’s do this together!!

Day 23/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 51/75 Hard! As humans, we’re naturally designed to look for the things that are going to bring us pain, inconvenience, and make us uncomfortable. With that, our brain is always picking out and focusing on the negative things going on around you like the news, bad weather, COVID, financial problems, declining health, etc. This morning, I wrote in my gratitude journal, “I’m grateful for a life that couldn’t be any better.” From the outside looking in, our life looks insane. One vehicle, no money, debt up to our eyeballs, a camper that’s falling apart, a sick dog, a broken phone... it would be easy to focus there and get stressed. But instead I focus on what my gratitude tells me is true: our life couldn’t get any better. My relationship with my husband is flourishing, my relationship with the Lord the growing daily, my personal growth journey, mental and physical health are my top priorities for my job, I serve women daily and get to be a lighthouse for them, we have shelter, food, water, a vehicle, fuel, 2 loving dogs, the ability to pick up and move wherever we want to, incredible families and friends to lean on, and the promise that God will provide for our needs as He has proven every single month we wonder if our bills will be paid. It could be more convenient, YES! But having more money to spend, a big house to clean, a second vehicle to do maintenance on, and going back to focusing on making money isn’t going to make life any better. Having more sometimes means more convenience, but it also sometimes means more headache. We’re learning to live with less and learning to focus on the right things in life. Are you?

Day 22/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 49/75 Hard! My Monday morning started a little shitty (literally) but I refuse to give up my morning to rush through my day. Mastering the Mundane is one of my favorite subjects to read/learn about because I always tend to rush through my to do list skipping around and skipping the small, tedious tasks that can be done “later,” but later never comes. Then I wonder why things aren’t moving in the right direction. It’s because I dropped the tasks I was supposed to do “later” for other things. My morning routine sets me up for success every day, seven days a week: personal development, bible study, gratitude journal, and affirmations. Once you start skipping the small steps, you’ll start slacking on everything. Have you mastered your morning routine and mundane tasks? Here’s to Day 22/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 49/75 Hard!

Day 21/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 44/75 Hard! As human, we’re naturally designed to look for the safest, easiest route to protect ourselves and our family. Why am I doing 75 Hard and purposely putting myself in these uncomfortable situations? Easy robs you of proud, and I want to be proud of my grind! I want to look back and be back proud of the hard things I did. I was always someone that would skip reps at the gym, cut my cardio in half, and binge eat fried foods and ice cream every night. I was never able to keep a promise to myself. So I chose me. I chose hard. I chose uncomfortable. I chose grit. I chose to do the things that other don’t so I can do the things that others can’t. You can choose the easy route and live a hard life, or you can choose the hard route and live an easy life. Here’s to Day 21/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 44/75 Hard!

Day 19/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 35/75 Hard! Are you ready to start taking advantage of the compound effect? I’m currently reading The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy, and I highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking to better their life, relationships, health, finances, career, anything! Recognizing our bad habits that compound over time into big, negative results will help us reach our goals so much faster by constantly focusing on our positive habits that slowly win the race. We spent all 2020 begging for the new year. We talked the talk. Now it’s time to walk the walk! What are you going to do with this new year you begged for?

Day 18/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 19/75 Hard! Life Law #3: People do what works. I’m currently reading the book “Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters” by Dr. Phil. Today’s chapter dove into the third Life Law which is “People do what works.” The idea is that people continue behaviors, whether deemed good or bad, because at some level it works for them. Some people might smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day, knowing it’s unhealthy, but they get some type of positive feedback. We know we won’t get positive feedback from touching a hot stove, so we never do it again. But we find that behaviors done over and over again, even when we beat ourselves up afterwards, are continued because on some level, they work. My challenge for you today is to discover the “negative” activities you’re doing repetitively that don’t move you forward and search for the positive payoff you’re searching for from those activities. The more you can call yourself on your own bullshit, the more personal growth you will experience. Here’s to Day 18/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 19/75 Hard!

Day 17/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 8 of 75 Hard! Are you making a habit of counting yourself out before you begin something? In health, a career, school, or relationships? My entire life, I’ve had a fear a fear of commitment because I didn’t believe I would be able to stick to anything. I never had the courage to chase those big dreams because I never thought I would be able to show up the way I should for others. Throughout 2020, I’ve done more personal development than I’ve done in my entire life, and I have learned that NO ONE is perfect. Ever. And to try to achieve that will lead to quitting. And you don’t fail until you quit. 2020 is the year we learned to call ourselves on our own bullshit and made real change in our lives. 2021 will be even better. Who’s with me??

Day 16/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 3 of 75 Hard. (Now Day 4, but I recorded this yesterday) Failing 75 Hard. Starting back over. Crushing 2021. Not letting the devil break me. Today’s episode is just what’s on my heart about starting 75 Hard over and what led me to quit. I don’t want to play games with my mental health. I want to be able to lock in nutrition when I decide to and enjoy treats when I decide to. I don’t want to be a slave to the binge eating compulsions that I battle. Any time something foods happens in our lives, the devil is going to try everything he can to break us. He tried so hard in 2020, but we will remember this year as the year that built us.

Day 15/75 Days of Podcasting! “Some choose to grumble that roses have thorns. Others are grateful that thorns have roses.” Life is crazy, but I’m thankful for this learning season. The day after Thanksgiving always motivates me to prepare for the coming year because I’ve never really believed in New Year’s Resolutions and never want to wait until the first to do something I’m probably going to fail anyway. Plus, I never wanted to be “that” person in the gym that only came the first few weeks/months of the year and then slowly die off. If you can wait until the new year to start working toward your goal, you’ll never stick to it because you were never committed. Be thankful for where you are now, appreciate the the little details, do your best at all you do, and take opportunities when they’re presented even when people call you crazy.

Day 14/75 Days of Podcasting & Day 22/75 Hard! Focus Friday! It’s time for us to redirect our focus, anxiety, and determination toward building the lives that we want! We love to get in our way and use our “busy work” to make us feel productive. I don’t know about you, but my busy work can end up as social media scrolling REAL QUICK! Learning new ways to keep us productive instead of busy is how we’re going to move to that next level! We find what we look for, so look for that opportunity to learn, grow, and find ways to LOVE the lifestyle of constant growth! What are some habits that are holding you back from living the life you want? What are some habits that you know you need to add in to your daily life? Make a list power list of 3-5 items that will move you and/or your business forward and complete them every day for 30 days! See how consistency changes your life.
