I don’t know about you, but for me 2019 went by faster than any other year! Some of the highlights for me personally were: Starting off my year in Thailand, scuba diving and exploring this special country. Hitting my 2019 business goals, enabling me to help more people than ever. Converting a campervan with my husband, and embracing ‘’van life’’. I always like to spend time at the end of the year reflecting. Did I achieve my goals? What worked well? What didn’t work for me

You are your own worst critic. It’s always the truth. I know this to personally be true. Practicing self-love and self-care, especially during the most stressful time of the year for most people (the holidays) is absolutely critical.

I wouldn’t be the first person to tell you that chronic sitting can literally kill you over time. And even if you exercise regularly, not getting enough movement throughout your day otherwise is still very harmful. So this month, I wanted to share a few ways that you can nearly effortlessly get more movement into your daily life: Always take the stairs

Well, that’s what they say about the Christmas time anyway ;) It’s the season of family, sharing, connecting to what matters… But it’s also the season of FOOD. It’s everywhere, all of the time! Christmas parties, work dos, family dinners. And often we think to ourselves something along the lines of, “well, if I don’t indulge, this only happens once and year, so I’ll miss out.” So, I wanted to remind you that it’s simply not true. You’re living in the abundant western world wh

I’ve heard this story a million times. A new client or challenge participant is getting ready to start training with us here at Empowered Fitness. They’re nervous but excited to see some results. It’s maybe Thursday, and they’re getting started on Monday. But Monday they show up bloated with low energy and 3 pounds heavier. Why, you ask? Because they literally binged on all of their favorite and soon-to-be “forbidden” foods. I’ve seen people create huge setbacks for themselve

When we look at commitment to our health and fitness, it’s easy to see a lot of obstacles: time, energy, money, family obligations, commuting, etc. We could come up with a million of them. But I’m getting real with you today… Your biggest obstacle is never what you think it is. Your greatest challenge will always be your own mindset. There’s a quote by Kenneth Blanchard that I love: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing someth
