faith. family. fitness.

No one is going to come & save you, choose you, validate you, or whisk you away into your perfect life. You HAVE to put in that work yourself. 💪🏼 Pray like it’s up to Him, & then GIRRRRRL, you gotta WORK like it’s up to YOU. 💕 I CANT EVEN believe the difference in how I feel THIS pregnancy vs last and I KNOW it’s because of how I’m taking care of ME!! 🌱 Baby Girl Emery is growing STRONG, kicking all the time and mom feels GREAT!! 👌🏼 THIRD TRIMESTER, here we ARE!!! 🎉 We

I define success so much differently than I used to. 💁🏼‍♀️ And, DANNNG, I am SO GLAD I’m clear on what success means to ME. It’s SO DANG important to define success on your OWN TERMS. So many of us (too many of us) get caught up in what other people think, on OTHER people’s versions of success. But that’s about you? To some women, success is making a million dollars and traveling across the globe. To some, it’s staying home and raising a family. To some, it’s all of the abo

Hold on, friend, the universe is working in your favor... 💕 Two years ago, Jay proposed to me in the most Bachelor-esque of ways. Complete with ice skating, mistletoe, live Christmas carols, my favorite champagne, some of our best friends, magical snowfall, a lit from within ring box and a sparkly diamond. But, y’all, it wasn’t any of those *things* that swayed me to say yes. TRULY. It was the vow I had made, the promise I had wrought into my heart. I was determined, indepen

All I want for Christmas this year is for my life to stay exactly as it is RIGHT. NOW. 😍 But, that’s not really how life works. Days move on, things change, seasons come & go. The ONLY THING that will stay constant in this life is LOVE. Its the ONLY thing we can depend on. Not even loving one person or the love OF another person. Because as much as we want to promise each other “FOREVER,” forever isn’t always long enough. 💕 But the ONE love, the REAL love, the SOURCE of lov

It’s not so much about the DESTINATION. It’s about the PERSON you become DURING the JOURNEY. 💕 My team & I worked HARD this year to achieve some BIG GOALS in the world of fitness & life coaching. 👌🏼 You guys, FULL DISCLOSURE, we DID NOT hit ALL of them. And, I was upset about that for a while, but, here’s the thing I’ve realized... It’s NOT about the goals themselves, it’s about the PEOPLE we became while striving for them. 😍 - COMMITTED to our PURPOSE. 🙏🏼 - PROVING our

Baby, SAY WHAAAA??!?! 😎 >>> Little Emery has been taking up residence in this belly of mine for 24 WEEKS!!!! 💕 Baby girl is the size of a CANTALOUPE, and 11.8 inches LONG! How INSANE is that?! 🤗 Momma is feeling good, been craving chunky monkey ice cream 🍌 as of late (you know, of the Ben & Jerry's varietayyy 😂) but I found a GREAT healthy version & Jay has been making it almost every night!! 🍨WOOHOOO for DELISH superfood 'NICE' cream! #bestEVER❤️ Baby is kicking NON-ST

PEOPLE!!! It’s time for a little REAL TALK.... a little convo over our coffee. ☕️ Because I need to chat with you about something that’s been on my heart lately. And, maybe you won’t agree with me here... but I have to get it out. 🤗 I HAVE to RAISE this BANNER because HOW we RAISE ourselves up, & how we raise the NEXT generation matters. I’m not gonna tell you what to do. 🙅🏼‍♀️ But, how about I tell you what *I’m* aiming to do. >> I DO NOT want to raise scared kids. I want

I used to think my little girl and I were destined for a life of darkness, sadness, grief and despair. 😢 The cards we’d been dealt surely painted a nasty picture... we’d STRUGGLE financially, I’d NEVER find purpose in my pain, she’d always feel a GAPING hole in her heart. And then... For ONE MOMENT, I let down my guard, I opened my hands & I asked the universe to show me the way out. 🙏🏼 To show me the truth. And, that moment of SURRENDER opened up a vulnerable place. That’
