Maintaining a State of Gratitude

Watching my kids grow up, make decisions about college, and move away has made me incredibly grateful for the time I have with the kids still at home. I know they won’t be there forever, and I’m thankful that they’re finding their own way in life.

Coach’s Corner – Being a Product of the Product During the Holidays

The holidays are tough to navigate, even when (maybe even especially when) you’re a health coach.

Coach’s Corner: Find Someone Who Believes in You

As a coach, you know the power of someone encouraging you and having your back. It can mean the difference between perseverance and throwing in the towel–both in your athletic and health goals and in business, too.

Staying Cool in the Summer Heat

This is the time of year that most of us are ready for some cooler weather, especially in Arizona. It’s our hottest summer on record in the Valley of the Sun and while we’ve had a few evening thunderstorms I know we still have a good month and a half before we have real relief.…

Take Care of Yourself First

You hear it every time you’re on an airplane: put your own oxygen mask on first, before you help someone with theirs. Why is this so important? If you can’t breathe, you can’t help someone else. If you don’t take care of yourself first, you’ll have nothing left to give others. More than 14 years…
