So if you know me personally, you know that I am not a runner.

I despise it, honestly, mainly because for all of my school and growing up years, and then most of my adult life, it was made out to be the ONLY way to exercise, and yet my untreated, subtly asthmatic lungs made it nearly impossible for me to do.

I had tried doing it outside but the cold weather caused what felt like fire in my lungs, and I had tried it at a gym, as I attempted to look like I knew what I was doing and was not thoroughly hating every second of it, but my pocket book and my lack of time combined with lack of results and hating it mentality nixed that plan too. 

When I did successfully do it for any length of time, which was usually only a week or two before I quit, I saw NO results from these forced efforts, and it truly felt like a slow form of torture, so why bother. 

So then I resorted to just doing NOTHING, for exercise, or most things deemed healthy, for years, and unfortunately, it is this same s...

I realize this is can be a far stretch, but I truly believe that trials are put in our paths to guide us to a new place, and this trial we are all facing right now is unprecedented for sure, but also a beautiful gift forcing us to pause and pivot.

For my own personal life, I have long witnessed within my own career in nursing, that we are quite often understaffed, overworked, and largely unsupported, and this situation we are in has highlighted that on a tragic scale, among many other things that we largely take for granted and don't give due credit in the world, and while tragic indeed, it is also going to be the catalyst for major change.

Hold tight to that, in whatever way this affects you. Listen in to the podcast for my own insight that I hope you will find helpful during these difficult days. What will come out of your pause and pivot? Connect with me! I can't wait to hear!

In celebration of National Peanut Butter Day, what is YOUR favorite way to eat peanut butter? 😋⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

I will share a few of mine below, but have a funny quick story. A few years ago, I started reading labels and realized that the peanut butter I grew up eating wasn't exactly peanut butter at all.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I went in search of a brand that was real peanuts and didn't have unnecessary extra stuff in it, like sugar. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
<This is one easy peesy tweak you can make... read labels and eliminate the products that add unnecessary ingredients>⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So I settled on the Whole Foods brand and then one from my local @heb grocery store. My mother in law was also making tweaks to their eating and did the same. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Well if you grew up eating the typical ones that most of us did and then ate the natural one, you know the consistency is a little different in terms of the natural one being a little more liquidy, right? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, apparently my father-in-law takes his PB VERY seriously, and did not prefer this transit...
