So You Want to Run a Marathon, Eh?

But strip away the titles, the roles, the degrees, the certifications, who are we, really? That's the question I've been trying to answer.
Lisa and The Hairy, Scary, Antsy, Very Bad Day
"Get in the shower NOW!" I sternly said through snot and sneezing, As I learned that my son and his friends got into the Ant Killer Spray my husband left on the deck. Allergies blazing like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, I had enough of this day. CLUNK. "Son of a..." The Muskoka chair my husband was building came apart as he tried to lift it up. I ran over to him, blood running down his head. This is a hairy, scary, antsy, very bad day.
How My Thick Thighs Saved Our Lives
The more we peddled, the more water our boat took in, without us knowing. As the water started to fill the back, and it was almost completely underwater, we grabbed our son and hauled him into the front. He started shaking and crying. It was only a matter of seconds before the whole boat was going under.
My "SWUS" Game Plan of How I've Lost 5 lbs In A Week
I'm a business and wellness coach. I KNOW BETTER. I've been 130 lbs, 250 lbs, a size 2, a size 14, but none of that matters.

They haven't given you incredible value. So I will always sell to you. I will always make an offer because if I don't, some other person is going to come in and muck it all up for me.
My Money Making Mantra
I believed money got you the things you wanted, and it does. But money blocks will prevent you from that next level. When I first opened my business, I felt greedy asking for more money and charged peanuts for my services. That led to frustration and burn out.
How I Went From Hate To Great With Prep
See here's the thing. When I don't meal prep, I find myself slapping together snacks as a meal (I do love me a good charcuterie board), and feeding my kid pizza on the regular, but then I tell myself, come on lady, you're better than that.

I STILL catch myself green with envy somedays when I look at others, but I know envy, comparison, and assumption isn't a path I want to stay on. In the words of my mentor, Bo Eason, "Players PLAY. Spectators.. well. spectate!" There are 3 big moves you MUST make in your life to get exactly what you want. For me, it was 3rd row (I'm shooting for 1st next time around) at a concert of my dreams. What would it be for you?
The Curse of "I Already Know That"
I've been an emotional eater for pretty much as long as I can remember. Acting out of impulse and fear. No one wants to raise their hand and own up to that fact that they can't handle their emotions.
