The champagne cork has popped, the glitter settled, and the blank slate of a new year beckons. But with it comes the inevitable flood of resolutions, often destined to fade with the January frost.
Â
Do you know that January 10th was a National New Year Resolutions Quitter Day?
Â
This year, break the cycle! Ditch the "all or nothing" approach and embrace a sustainable strategy for lasting change. Here are 3 crucial things you can do right now to avoid resolution failure and set yourself up for success:
Â
Start by anchoring your goals in your deepest "why." What do you truly want your life to look like, not just in a year, but at the end of a decade? What values do you want to guide your journey? Check out the "Why" blog post.
Now, break down that ambitious vision into achievable milestones. Think stepping stones: goals for 3 months, 2 months, 1 month, even weekly and daily. Each small action propels you forward, making the long-term...

In this blog post, we are covering the #1 Non-Negotiable Habit in my entire model: "I seek clarity of my purpose and Why."
In the Wellness Vortex Habit Change Model, this habit is unique—it sits at the very foundation, like a strong, healthy root, and it also sits at the very top. It is the habit that aligns every other choice you make. Without it, the rest of the vortex loses its power.
It took me years to get my diet right, decades to get strong, and over 15 years to create the Wellness Vortex. Whether it was claiming my financial independence, waking up with high energy every day, or working out 5 days a week for 30 minutes, the secret was always the same: The key to lasting change is knowing your “Why.”
Think of Olympic athletes. They’ve dreamed of a medal since childhood. Rarely do coaches have to poke them to train because they are intrinsically motivated. As fitness expert David Jack says:
“When your why is high, the thing you used t...
As we gear up for the new year, I want to share something meaningful with you—a 5-step reflective sequence you can use to set and achieve goals, whether they’re daily, weekly, monthly, or even annual.
This simple yet powerful process has worked wonders for me, not just in my wellness journey but in many other areas of my life as well. Let’s dive in!
Â
As the year winds down, it's a natural time to slow down, reflect, and ask yourself:
What do I really want?
Not just what looks good on paper or what society says you should aim for, but what truly lights you up and makes you feel good inside. Sometimes we approach goals with a "chase the carrot" mindset, thinking we’ll be happy after we achieve them.
But here’s the shift: Instead of chasing, why not create a life that already feels fulfilling as you work toward your goals?
Let this question guide you as you move through the next steps.
The holiday season often brings a surge of invitations and expectations. This can be a great time to connect with loved ones, but it can also highlight the importance of boundaries.
Â
So how do you gracefully decline an invitation without feeling guilty or jeopardizing your relationships?
Â
I recently encountered this myself. After a period of intense studying for my Nutrition Coach and CPR certifications (which I passed!), I found myself needing quiet downtime instead of attending a party on the evening after my exams.
This perfectly illustrates the value of saying 'No'!

As we enter the busy holiday season, juggling work, personal life, and reflecting on life and business goals can feel overwhelming. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and lose sight of what truly matters.
In this moment of potential chaos, let's explore how to shift from confusion to clarity.
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of tasks and commitments. This can lead to confusion, stress, and a sense of being overwhelmed.
Â
The Path from Confusion to Clarity is Simplicity
By simplifying our lives, we can reduce stress, increase our overall well-being, and see our mission, vision and passion with more clarity.
Here are a few steps to help you move from confusion to clarity:
Identify the Source of Confusion:
Say No to Non-Essentials:
Have you ever wondered what truly drives your success? What are those essential elements that, if you were to let go of them, would derail your progress?
In this email, I want to delve into the concept of non-negotiables for success and how they can be the key to unlocking your full power.
Â
What are Non-Negotiables?
Non-negotiables are the fundamental habits that you simply cannot compromise on. They are the building blocks of your success, whether it's in your career, relationships, health, or personal growth. When you upgrade your non-negotiables, you upgrade your life!
Â
Why are Non-Negotiables Important?
We often forget the most crucial element: taking care of ourselves – body, mind, and soul. This self-care is the foundation for everything we do. Self-care is not selfish; it's necessary!Â
Â
Â
Why Self-Care Matters
Think back to a time you were stressed or burnt out. Was it easy to achieve your goals or feel happy? Probably not.
When we prioritize self-care, we're like well-maintained vehicles. We have the energy, focus, and resilience to navigate life's challenges and reach our full potential. Remember, self-care is vital! Self-care is NOT a compromise.Â
Â
 The difference between seeing self-care, or any actions we do, as chore or choice is our internal state of being. Take your actions from INSPIRED state of being!
Â
Follow these 3 proven steps:
 We’re all busy juggling life’s demands, from work to family to personal goals. We strive for success, but sometimes, we forget the most important thing: ourselves.
Â
In our quest to achieve our dreams, we often prioritize everything else over our own well-being. We pour our energy into relationships, careers, and community involvement, but neglect the one person who needs our support the most: ourselves.
Â
Â
Imagine this:
you’re pouring from an empty cup. How can you expect to give your best to others when you’re running on fumes? The truth is, taking care of yourself isn’t selfish; it’s essential.
Think about it:
we focus so much on work, relationships, and other responsibilities that you often neglect our own needs. We might skip meals, miss workouts, or ignore your mental health. And yet, we expect to be productive, energetic, and happy. How can we expect to feel happy and powerful if we do not generate feeling happy and powerful with our own intentions (non-negotia...
