10 Lessons Learned in 10 Years as a Personal Trainer and Coach

,

This July marks my 10-year anniversary as a personal trainer. Coaching and blogging have grown side by side since the beginning. Writing helped me figure out what I believed. Coaching helped me live it. Both gave me a front-row seat to how people grow and what creates lasting change.

Workplace wellness isn’t about fruit bowls or step challenges with no follow-through. It’s about building a culture that supports employee health in real ways, with coaching, structure, and tools that meet people where they are.

The Power of Thought: A Mindset Shift That Helped Me Get Unstuck

,

What if your thoughts aren’t the truth—just habits you’ve never questioned?

In this post, I share how mindset work shifted for me when I stopped trying to control my thoughts and started seeing them for what they are. I share how one of my most common negative thought patterns, the inner critic, shows up in my thinking, and what happens when I stop assigning meaning to every anxious thought. I also talk about tuning in to the quieter voice, the one that leads with curiosity, calm, and creativity.
