When we “fall back” at the end of Daylight Saving Time, most people think about gaining an extra hour of sleep. Years ago, I wrote about using that hour to restart morning workouts. Now, I see this moment even more clearly. The time change is more than a bonus hour. It creates a natural opening to reset habits, experiment with morning movement, and rethink the stories we tell ourselves like “I’m not a morning person.” Whether you use the extra hour to move your body or catch up on sleep, this season is a chance to rebuild your morning routine in a way that fits your life.

From Workouts to Work Wins: Mindsets For Success
I’ve seen firsthand how fitness mindsets don’t just transform bodies, they transform careers and businesses too. The same principles I’ve taught clients for years, celebrating small wins, staying consistent, avoiding all-or-nothing thinking, and focusing on what you can control, turned out to be the exact tools I needed when I started expanding my workplace wellness business. Applying them outside of fitness gave me new empathy for my clients, because I was suddenly the one battling resistance and self-doubt. What I learned is that these principles go beyond workouts or business strategies. They’re universal tools for behavior change and goal achievement, no matter what area of life you want to grow in.
Perimenopause Is a Gift & Opportunity (No, Seriously!)
I know. Perimenopause doesn’t feel like a gift. It feels like brain fog, mood swings, interrupted sleep, and wondering why your pants don’t fit anymore. But somewhere in the middle of all that frustration is an opportunity to get honest about what your body needs now, not what worked for you ten years ago.
The symptoms might be loud, but they’re also signals. And if we stop trying to silence them and start listening instead, they can guide us toward a healthier version of ourselves.
Stop Chasing Shiny Objects and Start Making Real Progress
When progress feels slow or uncomfortable, it’s tempting to chase something shiny: a new diet, a new plan, a total overhaul. But what if the problem isn’t your plan? What if it’s just the part where it gets hard? In this post, I’m sharing the simple mindset trick I use to stay focused when distractions pop up, and how the same approach can help you stop starting over in your health and fitness goals.
