What’s Actually Stopping You From Your Goals
What’s Actually Stopping You From Your Goals You do NOT have a “problem” achieving your goals. What you may be lacking is Focus. Clarity.

Blame Feels Good But…
Blame Feels Good But… Unpopular opinion: BLAMING doesn’t lead to SOLUTIONS. Read that again 🙂 Blaming may feel good in the moment Blaming may make us feel “right” Blaming may let us feel validated in the moment. But BLAMING grows a victim mentality and that changes NOTHING. It doesn’t ever lead to solutions. Not EVER. Those that succeed at their goals? They stop blaming…. They stop living in circumstance. They shift to how they … [Read more...]

Doctors Said This Would Not Happen
Doctors Said This Would Not Happen… I was told I would never do my rings again…. GLAD I DID NOT LISTEN! I’m back! False assumed truths are real… DO NOT LISTEN. Determination is everything If you’ve known me more than a few years, you know that rings were my JAM! I was always posting ring work. Last year I had a lot of accidents. Distal bicep tear, ruptured disc, broken foot. 2 surgeries, and then lots of “you are too old … [Read more...]
When The Excuses Get To Us
When The Excuses Get To Us Listen up Injuries, age, circumstances… I have lots of excuses why I “can’t” And you likely do to. We all do! Circumstances are REAL and happen.

Your Butt is Photo Shopped…🙄
Your Butt is Photo Shopped…🙄 “Your abs are photo shopped” “Your butt is photo shopped” 😂 (now I had to giggle at that one) When I first started sharing on social media years ago I had a wicked strong core and defined abs. Something I had worked REALLY hard at. I would constantly get comments (usually from someone with a pet or plant as a profile picture) that I was photoshopped. It hurt. A lot. When video became a thing on IG those mean … [Read more...]

Now this was never “instant” and still takes me practice but it works ALWAYS when I can shift my focus. YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR … [Read more...]
The Fascination With Booties
The Fascination With Booties Let’s talk BACKSIDE. Booty, peach, bumm, rear, tush, tuckkkus (in my Yiddish accent lol no idea how to spell it) It’s trendy now.
