Discomfort-Tolerance Series 3/4: Not every uncomfortable feeling is a problem you need to solve. Sometimes there is an actual problem that needs your attention, and sometimes, we feel something uncomfortable and immediately start doing things to make the feeling go away. Read the blog for tips on how to practice this week’s reps.

Discomfort-Tolerance Series 2/4: An urge is information, not an instruction. The rep is creating enough space to notice it, before you decide what you want to do next. In this blog, we're getting curious about the urge that shows up with discomfort.

Discomfort-Tolerance Series 1/4: Discomfort tolerance is your ability to experience discomfort, without automatically reacting to it, and mindfully choosing what you want to do next.

Building a balanced meal doesn’t have to be complicated. Use this 4-step formula to create meals that fuel your body and fit your life.

Motherhood changed the way I take care of myself. And it completely changed the way I coach women.

The way we develop a behavior change is the same way we improve our ability to lift weights: with REPS. Progress happens with intention and repetition. These are four skills that my clients practiced, in GSD Coaching, this past month.

If September makes you want to buy new pens, and get your entire fucking life together, there’s actually a reason for that. September has that “back to school/get-it-together energy”. The burst of motivation can be useful. BUT, not if we decide we’re going to use it to change our entire lives, by implementing too much at once.

A Too Hot to Cook Recipe Guide that actually fits your real life, this summer. Without any diet talk or "earn your summer body" energy. LVL Holistics is about providing practical, feel-good tools that help you stay nourished, and move your body, on your terms.

Over the years, I've heard countless women say the same thing: "I just want to look fit."

From my perspective as their coach, they were already fit women. But they didn't see themselves that way.

That realization stayed with me.

It made me wonder...

We’re almost halfway through the year. If this halfway point is making you reflect on your goals, only to realize you’re nowhere close to where you hoped to be, that’s okay! A failed plan doesn't mean you won't reach your final goal. It means the plan needs adjusting. Here’s the reflection I walk my GSD clients through.

If you’re wondering how to stop mindless eating, it helps to first understand why it happens. A lot of our “unhelpful” food behaviors actually serve a purpose. Autopilot is efficient.

But when stress, distraction, habit, emotional overwhelm, and easy access food all collide? That same autopilot can leave you eating with very little awareness. Read the blog to learn how you can integrate more mindful eating habits.

Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two completely different things. Owning a cookbook doesn’t magically put dinner on the table every night. You still need: time, energy, ingredients, a plan, and flexibility when life goes sideways. Health habits work the same way.

Can you improve your health on your own? Absolutely you can. But there’s a difference between choosing to do it on your own and shaming yourself, because you are struggling to do it alone. Support is not weakness. It is a strategy.

~25-30g of protein and ~7-10g of fiber. This is a quick, breakfast meal that can easily be repeated AND that supports your goals. Plus, it’s super easy to adjust any of the ingredients, to suit your taste.

I don’t have hours to spare in my day. And like many of the women I coach, if I’m adding something new to my health routine, it needs to fit into my life, not compete with it.

So, instead of trying to force long walks into my schedule, I focused on small tweaks that could naturally add more movement to my day.

Being able to plan for the "messy middle" is a skill that will help you to prioritize healthy habits, which will help to make your goals sustainable. 

Instead of one rigid plan that depends on a "perfect week", let me show you how to create three versions of your plan.

Problem foods aren't actually the problem. Learn how to set intentional boundaries around food, so you can still enjoy your favorite treats, while reaching your fitness goals!

New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap. You’ve probably heard influencers throwing around that stat: “95% of resolutions fail.” Or your family makes fun of you for wanting to set one.

But they're wrong.

Setting goals at the start of the year isn’t the problem. In fact, starting on January 1st can be a power move and the research backs it.

Is Pilates a good option for strength training, or is it better used as a supplement to a strength program?
