I’ve learned that a little bit of intentionality goes a long way in accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves. This blog is meant to equip you with just that - simple tips, tricks, advice, and encouragement that help you live an intentional life.

Shop the Items Here I’m a bit of a closet curator. Now that my body isn’t in a phase of life where it’s constantly changing (as it does with pregnancy and postpartum), it’s been easier to really figure out what I like, what colors and styles look good on my body, and what’s worth investing […]

I think it might surprise you that “most” postpartum women who have had at least a couple of babies probably have some degree of prolapse.

I wish I could say that we’re having a magical summer, but in all honesty, it’s been a bit hectic! 🤪
But one way I am choosing to find JOY in this season is through naming the things I am grateful for. Here are 5 things I’m grateful for as we wrap up June.

Squatting is not only a functional exercise we do every single day, but it’s also a part of every workout ever created! I LOVE squats, but the problem is that SOO many women are squatting during their workouts and have NO idea how to squat with decent form. I don’t get crazy picky about form, […]

But did you know that general activity is actually a bigger dial-mover than your cardio session? More specifically, this is known as NEAT. NEAT stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis, which refers to the activity […]

While I talk all about pelvic health here, it’s actually only a relatively small percentage of my week. We’re in the middle of harvest over here (done with beans, working on corn!), and that requires huge work days for my husband, which then requires a lot from me to manage the home and our five […]

15 years ago, no one was talking about the pelvic floor. Most women didn’t even know what the pelvic floor was! And any pelvic floor issues (leaking, prolapse, painful s3x) were 🫢 – most women didn’t dare talk to their doctor about it, less one another. While I’m thankful for WAY more awareness about the […]

Your word of encouragement from me this week: You are meant to THRIVE. You are meant to live an ABUNDANT life. But the biggest things I see holding women back – it’s not their time, it’s not their resources. It’s their mindset. So what do you believe when it comes to how you feel? Do […]

SIX years!! It’s truly hard to believe that Refine is 6 years old. Honestly, I didn’t know if the business would survive more than a year, so it is truly unbelievable that it’s been six years now of this specialized practice surviving in little Orange City, IA. A few years ago, I did a three-part […]
