A few days ago I introduced this new mini-series on approaching business as a mom, wife, and believer. I believe in two things: God AND family should come before our business and work. These are priorities that are aligned biblically with the Word, but this is going to look different in your life than mine. I’d just […]

I never in a million years thought I’d own a business. This wasn’t my lifelong dream…I was too practical for that. I dreamt of running my own business, sure! But it was only ever that – a daydream. My real-life dream was to become a PT, work part-time, and be a mom. Before I even went […]

Here is what you’ll need: Taken from @cookingclassy . I always mix up the dressing and let people add on their own, […]

We eat a lot of greek yogurt around our home, as it’s one of a few snacks that is filled with protein that my kids really enjoy! We have many toppings we throw into our yogurt, but granola is by far the top choice! I fell in love with KIND brand’s peanut butter granola, but […]

It has been so fun to look back over part 1 and part 2 of this story. Now as I think about where I am at one year in, so much has changed over the last few months! 2019 went right along with a slow steady increase in patients. I continued teaching fitness but really backed away from health […]

As I mentioned in my last post, God used an MLM health coaching experience that I didn’t love, to slowly weave a path to Revelation Wellness®, who taught me to die to my strongholds (fears) and say YES to starting my own business. I originally kept the name “Refining Wellness” as my business name b/c I had […]

Salads have become my go-to for lunch for quite a while now because they are: I find that as long as I keep a variety of ingredients on hand, it’s pretty easy to keep salads interesting and I truly don’t get bored with eating a salad most days for lunch. Salad Ingredients I always keep […]

I’ve not met a single person who gets excited about modifying an exercise or a workout.
