How to Use Run/Walk Intervals to Beat the Summer Heat

Run/walk intervals have been my go-to this summer for staying consistent in the Texas heat. They let me keep my heart rate in check, extend my time on my feet, and build endurance without overreaching. Whether I’m using timed segments, going by feel, or following my heart rate, the flexibility helps me adapt to the conditions and train in a way that’s sustainable. This approach works for anyone navigating challenging weather, rebuilding fitness, or simply wanting running to feel good!

How to Create a Wellness Support System That Works

A wellness support team is made up of the people who help and support you. Maybe it’s a friend who checks in after workouts, a coworker who walks with you at lunch, or a class where someone notices when you don’t show up. It might also include a therapist, a massage therapist, or a coach who helps you stay focused when life gets full. These little points of connection can make your routine feel more doable and your progress easier to keep going.

Use Your Professional Strengths to Build Personal Wellness

If you’ve built a career, led a team, or managed a full plate of responsibilities, then you already have what it takes to improve your health.

Time management, focus, adaptability, these are the same skills that help you stay consistent with your workouts, eat in a way that supports your energy, and take care of your body long term. You just have to apply what you already know in a new direction.

Your health supports your success.

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.
