10 Tips To Improve Your Mental Health During COVID-19

Posted by:

As you scroll through my Instagram, you may have the impression that shelter in place is going great. I’ve been running, peloton-ing, and working. All is dandy here.

Yeah, no.

I like schedules. I thrive with a goal, routine, and consistency. Is there anyone who doesn’t? Sure, I am super sporadic and can be flexible, when it comes to reaching a goal, I am driven AF.

What is the Spiritual Side of Running? 

Posted by:

What is the Spiritual Side of Running?

It’s noticing the messages of spirit/god/or whatever you call your higher power. This may be an animal you see, tripping on a branch, or a sudden burst of insight. I believe these are not coincidences, but messages from God/The Universe.

What is “God/higher power/the universe”?

How to Live a Life You Don’t Need a Vacation From

You know the saying, “live a life you don’t need a vacation from”? Although I understood it, it never seemed attainable to me. I always thought to myself, “when I get the dream job” or “after the kids are older” or “if I just could ….”.

That is, until this past year.

I went on a 7 day Carribean cruise with my family and noticed a dramatic difference. I noticed a major shift this year. I wasn’t craving a week to relax because I already ...

Heart Rate Based Run Training: Maffetone Method 101

Have you ever watched the movie Cars? There is a part in the movie where Doc Hudson tells Lightning McQueen he must go left to go right. I always thought that was a genius lesson in the movie.

Abiding in silence: my silent retreat experience

I just returned from a 2 1/2 day silent retreat hosted by Yoga on High at the Jesuit Spiritual Center in Milford, OH. It was such a rejuvenating experience.

It was my first silent retreat, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I would be doing yoga and meditation, which I was excited about.  As an INFJ personality, I really crave alone time, which once I thought about it, I don’t really get unless I am out on a ...

My Experience Living as an Empath

What does it feel like to be an Empath?

If you are reading this you likely already know. You probably are one.

I have always been able to feel other emotions and feelings…I just was not always mindful of it. Growing up, when I got a denseness or uneasy feeling around someone, I used to think that person didn’t like me. Now I know I was just sensing their emotions on a deeper level. This much inner work and ...
