“It Wasn’t As Bad As I Thought”

January 30, 2026 “It Wasn’t As Bad As I Thought” We’ve officially stepped into Week 4, and with just two weeks left, the most common thing I hear right about now is: 👉🏽 “It wasn’t as bad as I thought.” I hear this phrase constantly in fitness, in wellness, and honestly, in life. Fear Has a Funny Way of Lying to Us In our Wellness Center, I see it all the time. Clients walk in nervous about getting a shot. Childhood memories, past trauma tied to needles, anxiety, so they are completely against it…until we talk through it. And after a Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, or any wellness injection, the reaction is ....

Love on Your Failures!

January 23, 2026 "Love on Your Failures!" We’ve reached Week 3 of Boot Camp - the midpoint. And if we’re being real, this is usually the toughest week. The excitement has faded. Your body is sore. Life starts lifing again. This week, while checking one of my client’s journals, I read something that stopped me in my tracks: “This past week was hard. Hard because I’m afraid to fail at my goals, so I don’t attempt. If you never give your all, you can’t be too disappointed. I’m scared of failing again after I gave my all. I used life as an excuse to not show up this past week. This week, I will ....

"PUT ME IN THE GAME!"

January 16, 2026 "Put Me In The Game!" We’ve officially wrapped up Week 2 of Boot Camp, and this is an important moment in the journey. Why? Because the second Friday of January is known as National Quit Day the day when most people abandon their New Year’s goals. And if we’re being real… some folks already have. Life gets busy. Motivation fades. Muscles ache. Results take time. And that’s usually when people convince themselves it’s “not the right time.” But here’s the truth I want everyone to hear especially those who may have stepped away or are watching from the sidelines: Not feeling ....

CONSISTENCY IS THE CHEAT CODE

JANUARY 9, 2026 "CONSISTENCY IS THE CHEAT CODE" If you showed up this week — every run, every rep, every early alarm — take a moment and pat yourself on the back. Week One of the first Boot Camp of 2026 set the tone, and the energy is already different. Your body is waking up. Your mindset is sharpening. And the momentum? It’s building. WEEK ONE = BASELINES, NOT BRAGGING Let’s be clear Week One is about information, not ego. As a nurse, I NEED to know where you are so I can safely and effectively guide you to you where you’re going. That means: Smart training Intentional progress No overtraining No undertraining ....

??The Power of the Pitstop

December 26, 2025 🚦 The Power of the Pitstop As we close out the final Bootcamp of 2025, I want to pause with you because that’s exactly what we practiced the last week. We made a pitstop. Not just metaphorically… literally. This week’s workout included an exercise that is blowing up all over the internet. The one that makes people stop, stare, and say: “WOW… oh my God.” Yes, it looked crazy. Yes, it was tough. Yes, it required teamwork, coordination, and trust. But more than anything…it told a story. 🏁 Life Isn’t a Straightaway In the workout, you didn’t just power forward ....

"This May Ruffle a Few Feathers… or It May Save Yours"

December 12, 2025 "This May Ruffle a Few Feathers… or It May Save Yours" This newsletter might make some folks uncomfortable or it might inspire you to fuel your body with more protein and hydrate it better. Either way, it’s a conversation worth having. A lot of people tried something big this year. Some saw success. Some struggled. Some are still trying to figure it out. The jury is still out. I’m talking about weight-loss surgery, weight-loss medications like Ozempic and similar injections and even extreme dieting approaches. A Real Moment in the Wellness Center This week, a client I hadn’t seen in a long time came in ....

"GOD'S PLAN IS ALWAYS BIGGER"

November 24, 2025 "God’s Plan Is Always Bigger" Family… this Final Run proved one thing loud and clear: God’s plan is always bigger than ours! We set goals. We map out our path. But when God steps in? He multiplies what we thought was possible. He stretches us. He surprises us. He elevates us Story #1: When Your Goal Meets God’s Plan One client began Bootcamp with a 38-minute run time. Her bold goal for the Final Run was 36 minutes. But God whispered, “Daughter… I have MORE for you.” On the final night, she didn’t just reach 36. She didn’t almost hit it. She crushed it with a 34-minute run a ....

Are You Listening?

November 14, 2025 "Are you Listening" Faith. Obedience. Action. This week, something stirred my Spirit in the best way. I watched Sarah’s Oil - and it wasn’t just a movie. It was a divine message. A reminder that when God speaks, it’s never random. His words are intentional. Directional. Always meant to elevate us. I’ve had two moments in my life where I KNOW I heard the Lord clearly. Not in noise. Not in chaos. But in quiet, gentle moments. And when I moved on what He said? Everything shifted. Doors opened that I could’ve never forced. Favor found me. Here’s the truth: God is speaking to all of ....

CONQUER YOUR HILL!

November 9, 2025 "Conquer Your HILL!" You know that moment during a run when the path tilts upward? Your heart pounds harder. Your breath gets louder. And every voice in your head starts negotiating: “Just walk for a second…” “You’re tired…” “This hill is too steep…” But here’s the truth: The hill isn’t the problem. The hill is the transformation. Hills expose your strength. Hills reveal your consistency. Hills show you exactly what you’re made of. Anyone can run on flat ground. But growth lives in the incline. In life, your hill might not be a literal hill. It ....
