Money is weird. It doesn’t seem like it should be. At its simplest form, money is a tool of exchange used to facilitate transactions. It represents value and allows us to trade goods and services without the need for direct bartering.

Ever since I could make money, I spent beyond my means. I’ve always worked really hard so I could never really understand why I was constantly behind on bills; I should have been rolling in it. And over the years I have made sure that was the perception, within reason of course. I’m nothing if not Midwest Nice and would never want anyone to feel ‘less than’ around me.

For three full days I struggled with listening to and caring for myself versus disappointing someone else. I’ll be honest here, and this is embarrassing, I thought of many lies I could have told her that would have ‘forgiven’ me; illness that would have let me off the hook. But what kind of self-care coach would I be if I did that?

How many times have you said this to yourself? Well, you’re in good company. I am in my mid-forties and there are days where I just cannot seem to adult. Where I feel like EVERYONE else has their shit together.

As we navigate through the various stages of life, we often encounter moments of introspection and self-reflection. One common phenomenon that we experience is often referred to as a “midlife crisis.” This is not uncommon after the death of someone as close as a parent but there are many other situations that have us questioning our purpose here; empty nests, career and work changes, relationship shifts, infidelity, traumatic accidents or revelations, etc. But it also doesn’t have to be anything dramatic. Age can simply be the reason we start questioning our existence. It’s essential to delve deeper into this concept to understand whether it’s genuinely a crisis or simply a natural part of the human journey.

It’s hard to describe how sweet my day actually was, boring as it may have been in some people’s eyes. Health + Wellness 208.3 Again. Not going up. Win. And, I can almost guarantee you after a couple of beers and a fish fry last night I would have seen a gain. How do I […]
Honestly, I woke up at 5:45 this morning, had enough energy to get a ton of shit done and am still awake at 8:20 pm, even with a puking, feverish kiddo. This is a miracle in and of itself. Health + Wellness 208.3 Again. Not going up. Still a win. I refuse to freak out […]
What a dreary, icky, windy January day. No wonder so many of us give up on our healthy habits on days like these. I wonder if we shouldn’t move the New Year to July 1st so that we all have a fighting chance. Health + Wellness 208.3 Same same. Again, another win. I will say […]
It was a long day. Not in the sense that I hated it and just want to crawl in to bed, but rather that I have just been up a long time. And I want to crawl in to bed. I volunteered to take a 5:00-8:00am shift at my health club job on Tuesdays. For […]
Health + Wellness 208.3 This is so lame. However, this is where I would usually say fuck it. Actually, it probably would have been yesterday. But, since I’ve made the decision to stick to this for 90 days, I have no other choice but to see what happens tomorrow. And before you get their undies […]
DOUBLE DIGITS. That’s an accomplishment, eh? Health + Wellness 208.3 Well, this is just funny. But, alas, the opportunity for some perspective was presented to me while walking outside, in 19 degrees by the way, today. If you haven’t gathered already, I have been ‘working’ on losing weight for quite some time. Decades as a […]
It’s my baby brother’s birthday today. Thirty-six years ago that bouncing baby boy came in to this world, much to my older sister and my dismay, but, he has proven himself over the last three and half decades by making us laugh with his stories, antics and all-around jovial attitude. The below video was taken […]
Before I left for a walk today, I had to download a new audio book. I have been listening to the same 3-4 for the last few months, so I thought it was about time to shake things up. Since I planned to walk about 6 miles, I needed something to hold my attention for […]
Today I sort of wanted to quit writing about this. Partly because I am sick of hearing all of my woe is me (maybe you are too) and partly because this is for sure where I give up. Two weeks? Yah, that’s my quitting cue. I don’t see the results I expect, I get tired […]
Two weeks used to seem like forever, but now that I’m here, it’s really no big deal. The time does pass anyway. I saw this quote today when I was looking for inspiration. It seems to have found me instead. I can agree with the first sentence, the rest we’ll have to see, but it […]
You’ll find me to be a vibrant and unapologetic woman who wholeheartedly embraces the Law of Attraction, isn’t afraid to drop the f-bomb when needed, and loves with everything I’ve got. I’m all about proving that the impossible is possible, especially when others say it can’t be done. My passion is empowering women in midlife to live authentically, boldly, and without apology. If you’re ready to break free from societal expectations and pursue your ambitions with confidence, you’re in the right place.
