My mission is to make ALL women feel like superheroes and teach the world that exercise shouldn't have to suck!

Fit

Have you ever contemplated the idea of hiring a personal trainer, only to find yourself wrestling with doubts and apprehensions? 🫣

Perhaps you've felt...

• Uncertain about making a long-term commitment to fitness?
• Skeptical that exercise could be enjoyable, fearing it might feel like a chore rather than a pleasure?
• Worried that the journey ahead might be too challenging, forcing you to confront your current fitness level head-on?
• Concerned that despite your best intentions, you might falter and fail to follow through on your fitness goals?

These are common concerns I've encountered from both clients and individuals who have expressed interest but have yet to take the plunge. It's disheartening to witness 💔 so many women eager to embark on a journey towards better health, only to be held back by a myriad of fears and uncertainties.

In response to this dilemma, I've developed a solution designed to remove the barriers that often prevent women from exploring personal training opportunities. 🥳

Food

As promised, here is my favorite corned beef recipe! I LOVE making this every St. Patrick's Day.

• 1 (3-4 pound) corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
• 1 onion, peeled and quartered
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bottle (12 ounces) of your favorite beer (plus an extra bottle for drinking yourself 🍻)
• 4 cups broth (or water)
• 1 bay leaf (optional)
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (optional)
• 1 head of cabbage, cut into wedges
• 4-6 medium potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
• 4 whole carrots, washed and cut into large chunks

Instructions:

1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Place the onion quarters, minced garlic, potatoes, and carrots in the bottom of your slow cooker.
3. Pour the beer and broth (or water) over the vegetables. Add the bay leaf and whole black peppercorns (if using) and stir together.
4. Nestle the corned beef brisket in the veggies in the slow cooker, making sure the corned beef is submerged (or very close to submerged).
5. Sprinkle the seasoning packet (included with the corned beef) over the brisket.
6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the corned beef is tender.
7. About 1 hour before the corned beef is done, add the cabbage wedges to the slow cooker, arranging them around the brisket.
8. Cover the slow cooker again and continue cooking until the cabbage is tender and cooked through.
9. Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
10. Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve it alongside the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.
11. Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day feast with your favorite dijon/brown/whole grain mustard or horseradish sauce on the side!

Fun

For the last five years, I've been a member of a women's connection group called Polka Dot Powerhouse and it's not hyperbole to say that the group has changed my life.

Just in our local chapter we have 200+ women, and over 3000 across the globe. Many are business owners, but many are domestic engineers, retirees, and nine-to-fivers. What we all have in common is the desire to expand our circles and build deep relationships.

For me, I've found that it's hard to make friends as an adult without kids and without a traditional workplace. PDP has given me a venue to show up as my authentic self and a framework to meet new women and develop new friendships over time. I really can't speak highly enough of this group!

AND I'm going to be our group's speaker for the month of April!!! I'll be giving a presentation including EASY, PRACTICAL tips for how to add exercise and meal planning/prep into your life. We all know these are things we should do, but in reality, it can be hard to execute. But I've spent the last 20 years figuring out how to make a healthy lifestyle also an EASY lifestyle, and I want to share that knowledge with you!

You'll leave with a plan and the confidence that you can execute that plan. This isn't high-level, fancy personal trainer/nutrition coach stuff. This is "busy human with lots of competing priorities" stuff.

You can register for one of our meetings here.* There are 4 meetings to choose from each month, so just pick the day/time that works best for you. It'll be the same presentation at each meeting.

I'm so excited to share this group with you because it's been so meaningful to me. And of course I want you to have all the fun and easy advice I'm going to give during my talk!

*Scroll to the bottom of the page to see upcoming meetings. Make sure you choose an APRIL meeting if you want to see me speak. They're usually available to register on the 25th of the preceding month. Although I'm happy to have you visit anytime because this organization is amazing!

More Hero Headlines...

The MS Walk is coming up Saturday, April 27 at 9 a.m. I've raised money every year to find a cure since my diagnosis in 2021. I'd love for you to donate if you can, and if you want to show your support by walking with me, I'd be so honored! I've got a goal to raise $1000 and I'm over halfway there thanks to friends like you!
