Two things that make me incredibly happy are being in front of a room as a fitness instructor and taking people through an incredible workout experience (ie. Soul HIIT), and the other is being in a class as a participant and getting to totally immerse myself in an amazing fitness experience. Every month I'm going to be sharing [...]
I truly believe we are constantly experiencing lessons in our life (otherwise known as curve balls!) - challenging people or situations that test us in some way. Sometimes we don’t expect these lessons. We’re caught in the belief of “When this settles then I’ll do that…” And here’s what I know, life will always be [...]
I don’t know about you but I certainly didn’t grow up eating kale. In fact, there was a point when I didn’t even know what that funny leafy green vegetable in the grocery store was called. I knew it wasn’t lettuce - too wrinkly! But now? I eat it almost every single day. I make [...]

Do you ever feel like you’re going crazy? Like there’s something wrong with you? This happens to me when I know that there’s something I want but yet I can’t seem to do it. I’ll feel stuck. Or blocked. And worse, I’ll even sabotage whatever efforts I have made. Please tell me I’m not the [...]
Last week I talked a lot about how diets don't work because they don't take care of the "feelings" part of being human. My inbox got flooded with questions about emotional eating.
