Welcome to the Blog
The funny thing about life is that as soon as we’re born, we’re ageing.
It sounds obvious, but when you really pause on it, it’s a bit strange to think about. From day one, we’re in motion, moving forward, gathering experiences, and collecting years whether we want to or not.
Somewhere along the wa...
Have you ever noticed how often we connect exercise with the idea of “burning it off”?
Eat a donut → go for a run.
Have dessert → add an extra class at the gym.
Skip a workout → feel guilty.
That whole cycle turns movement into a punishment, like we have to earn our food or make up for it. And if ...
The Story We Carry
I can remember not liking my legs as early as the first year of high school. We had to wear short red shorts for gym class, and mine were always pale and blotchy with blue veins showing because I was always cold. I'd look at the other girls' legs and wish mine looked like theirs....
I’m not just making small changes, I’m rethinking everything
For a while now, I’ve felt something shifting, not all at once, not with a plan in hand, but steadily. Like something that once fit no longer does.
I’ve been sitting with a deeper question:
What do I actually believe about health, food,...
For the past few summers, our family has taken a getaway to a boat-access-only cottage with no electricity, barely-there cell service, and a whole lot of togetherness. It’s quickly become one of my favourite traditions.
We’ll be heading there soon, me, my husband, our adult “kids,” my sister-in-law...
A Morning Walk and a Moment of Clarity
I was out walking this morning and realized… I wasn’t walking in a straight line.
I wasn’t in a rush. Just kind of in my own head, following the path, weaving a bit. At one point, I shifted right… then drifted left… then stepped around something in my way 💩.
...There’s a lot of noise around “anti-aging.” You see it in ads, product labels, captions, and even in wellness spaces. It’s subtle sometimes, but the message is loud and clear: aging is a problem. A flaw. Something to fight, fix, or erase.
That mindset is doing more harm than good.
Aging isn’t a fa...
This past Sunday, I headed out for an early morning walk to beat the heat. The sun was already up, the streets were quiet, and I was about a block from home when I realized… I forgot my AirPods.
For a second, I thought about turning back. I usually walk and listen to a podcast, some music, or somet...
I saw a quote the other day that really made me pause:
“Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.”
And I thought, “Wow, that’s pretty powerful.”
I’ve been thinking about it ever since, because lately, I’ve been paying more attention to how I spend my time and energy. Not just what I’m doing...
I wanted to share a clip that popped up in my Instagram feed last week. It was from a conversation between Brené Brown and Tim Ferriss a few years ago, where Brené shared a simple but powerful check-in that she and her husband, Steve, use in their marriage.
They’ve been together for over 30 years a...
There’s tired… and then there’s tired.
Not the kind a good night’s sleep can fix. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes everything feel just a little heavier. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s like moving through your day in slow motion.
Lately, I’ve been feeling it.
Not completely...
Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing results?
You’re eating better.
You’re moving more.
You’re trying to stay consistent.
And yet it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working.
It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. And it’s exactly where so many people give up.
