"It's not a fucking diet!" Sorry about using the "D" word so boldly. I know that word carries a lot of power and creates negative feelings for most of you. And rightly so! If you're anything like me and 100% of my clients, you've tried a diet or diets and FAILED every single time. Why, because that's precisely what diets are set-up for you to do, FAIL. The concept of the "diet" is flawed from the get-go. Here are the stages of the diet: *Bold declaration of new eating pattern with a set start and end date, inset Keto, Paleo, Low-Carb, No-Carb, Dr. ________, Book I read, Internet guy/gal I follow that is super fit, etc... *Clean out fridge and pantry of all the junk. *Go to store spend a boatload of money on a bunch of green stuff you'll never eat. *I Forget, elaborate Facebook/IG post about your new diet that is going to be the one that changes it all for you. Insert #thisismyyear *10 days later, the green stuff is gross and starting to smell up the fridge, so you throw it away and go to the store to repurcha

You Didn’t Come This Far Only To Come This Far!  I know this is super cliche, but I also know far too many of us are stopping at the first sign of struggle.  Pausing, assessing, adjusting is perfectly fine and even necessary from time to time.  It’s time to get off the ‘Mary Go Round of Regret.’ Get a coach, mentor, or Circle of Success that motivates you to keep moving forward even in the face of adversity.  You deserve your dreams, but you’re going have to work for them!

The EIGHT Person Cleanse  Removing these eight people from your life NOW is essential to your health and happiness.  **Disclaimer: this will include some of your family and friends - sorry**    8 People That Gotta Go: 1. Those who spread negativity. Here’s the bottom line and something I remind myself all the time. If someone is spreading negativity about others, eventually they will spread it about me. Negative people are only loyal to negativity. Eventually, you will find yourself in their crosshairs.  2. Those you criticize you. Get rid of these jokers immediately. Only surround yourself with people that support and lift you higher.   3. Those who waste your time. TIME is your most valuable resource, and the one thing you can make more of in your life. Time vampires must be let go NOW.  4. Those who are jealous. Jealously is a poison that will kill any relationship. The most dangerous person you can be around is someone that views your success as their failure. &nb
