Have you ever worked to achieve a certain goal, but by the time you achieved it, you just moved that goal post further away? This is something I've been talking about quite a bit with my clients & friends, and to be honest... it's also something I'm 100% guilty of doing, too. Oftentimes, we forget to look back on how far we've come and celebrate our current accomplishments. Instead, we're quick to move onto the next one, without one moment of gratitude or sense of appreciatio

Over the past year, you guys have all watched me... → completely transform my body through an intense 30-day cut → become a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) → start my own business → become a trainer at @f45yorkville → complete my first bulk → launch my first ever 4-week training & nutrition program that’s designed to help busy women all over the world achieve their fat loss goals - whether they work out at home or in a gym, called Stronger Ever After It’s hard to believe I’v

It’s been said that “we are the sum of the 5 closest people in our circle”. Which is why it’s so important to keep the RIGHT people closest to us. Personally, I consider myself so lucky and blessed to have finally found my tribe - the friends I can count on when I need them, who constantly push me towards achieving my dreams and goals, and who I can go weeks (even months!) without seeing, and when we reunite it's like no time has passed at all. We support each other. We lift

Happy #ThankfulThursday everyone! Who else is feeling super grateful for everything they’ve accomplished this year so far? As this year is slowly coming to a close (can you believe we're almost 3 months away from 2019!?), it can be WAY too easy for us to feel pressured to reach every single goal we’ve set for ourselves. However, instead of focusing on the checklist of goals we still have yet to tick off, I think it’s even more important to go back and appreciate the ones we D

Happy September, fit babes! While we can all start to feel overwhelmed by the fact that summer is (almost) officially over, this is just a friendly reminder to take a step back and truly appreciate all the incredible things, opportunities & people in your life that made your summer an incredible one. Here’s a few things I’m grateful for this summer: Getting to do what I love every single day Having some of the BEST sleeps of my life (ever since my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome was f

Hey there, Insta fam! I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all of the tremendous support that poured in over the past week after releasing news of my collaboration with FemEvolve magazine. It's been such a whirlwind of reading & responding to all of your messages and kind words about the interview, and I just can't thank you enough. To be honest, there was a lot that I said in this interview that many of you didn't know about, and it took a lot of courage and acceptance for m

'If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done.' — Thomas Jefferson I honestly love this quote. It’s a friendly reminder that SMALL CHANGES add up to something big in the long run. You don’t have to change all at once. You just have to do something DIFFERENT than what you’re doing right now. It doesn’t happen overnight, but if you keep making small changes to your current lifestyle, you’ll be surprised how much can change in a w

Thinking of starting a segment called #ThankfulThursdays! What do you guys think? Having daily gratitudes (or, simply fostering a grateful mindset) has become SUCH an important part of my daily routine. Not only does it help to keep all of the amazing, wonderful & positive things in my life a constant focal point in my day, but it also helps to make the challenges, struggles and not-so-fun things in my life seem a lot smaller and less important. (Which is a huge bonus!) Here

Hey, fitfam! I have some pretty exciting news to share with all of you. I’ve OFFICIALLY joined the Healthy Is Hot family as one of their newest Writers/Contributors! Healthy Is Hot is the beautiful lovechild of eTalk Reporter, Chloe Wilde & Simona Vinti, after Chloe was thrown into a whirlwind of being on the road and in the spotlight for the first time after becoming a Much Music VJ. Unfortunately, Chloe realized how quickly she had started putting her own health and wellnes

Smile. Even when things get hard. Even if you’re uncertain. Even if things aren’t going your way. (In fact, ESPECIALLY if things aren’t going your way.) Choosing to smile and practice gratitude in times of stress & struggles is one of the best ways to turn your mood, and ultimately your day around. Here are a few things I’m grateful for this week: the incredible view from my apartment that makes working from home an even bigger joy than it already is seeing my clients achievi

Happy Sunday, friends! These past few months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me, but nothing short of a dream come true. From becoming a certified personal trainer, to training some BEYOND amazing clients, to launching my own fitness & health business, starting my own website and blog and becoming a part of the F45 family - I am so, SO grateful and humbled to know how far I’ve come in such a short period of time. I’ve been constantly learning new things every single day an
