There are many ways to fail, but today's topic is the way that I frequently find trips people up! Today we are talking about a lack of accountability. You see, accountability is key! Ultimately, it would be wonderful if we could be accountable to our goals and dreams, however, this is not something that we as humans are good at. Instead

This series is all about success, which is interesting because it has "Fails" in the title! However, we are examining why typical diets fail for people, either while they are doing the diet or shortly after when they stop!

You see, many diets and plans are simply not sustainable to live on for a prolonged period of time! Diets like Keto, Whole30 and other plans are

Over the years, I have loved watching the show "How it Works". The show examines a multitude of different topics including electric toothbrushes, contacts, skyscraper and a multitude of other things that are made and we use in our lives!

This series is focused on what you can remove from your day to day life that suck your days and life away. Many of these things are not inherently bad, but the way that we utilize them may be detrimental to our stress levels, our hormones and our health. Today, we are talking about ALL the commitments that we have in our world. You know what I am talking about! In our world, there are commitments for work, after work, drinks with friends, dinner with friends, family, dinner w

In our last series, we talked about things that you can and should ADD to your daily routine that can help you to have less stress and love life a little more! This series, we are talking about the things that you can REMOVE from your life that can help you to feel more fulfilled as well! Removing these things is removing life "sucking" things from your life! Think about life sucking like the machine in The Princess Bride. Today we are talking about additional appointments. H

Last series, we talked about the things that you should ADD to your daily routine to decrease your stress. The hope was that you could add things into your day and it would crowd out the things that add to your stress and suck life from you. That can be a tough ask at times. It means that you have to have really solid boundaries and won't allow other tasks and obligations to encroach on your stress relieving activities and techniques. This week, we are talking about what you

So, this series, we are looking at how to decrease stress and improve our overall health and well-being! With so many things on our plate, we are constantly forced to choose between the things that serve other people or the things that serve us! Generally, we choose to do the things that serve other people. These things m

Our world gets faster and faster! Every day, there is a new technology that allows you to cram something else into your day. There is something new to allow you to be "more efficient". However, the way to reducing your stress is actually less....it's not more efficient! It's just LESS! So, how can I tell you what to ADD to your life, when we should be taking things away?!?! Great question, I'm glad you asked! By adding these things to your life, my hope is that it helps to cr
