Hey, gorgeous soul! Imagine this: You’re rocking fierce leopard heels at Whole Foods (because why not?), casually cruising Aisle Four for tortilla chips (the good kind, obviously) when BAM!, a cart wheel collides with your fabulous footwear. (BTW, this is a true story from yours truly that occurred last week.) The “old you” might apologize […]

Last month, I turned 48. Things have changed. My body doesn’t bounce back like it used to. I’m sagging in places that didn’t sag before. The crow’s feet get a little deeper each year. And my hips don’t lie (but they are improving with consistent stretching and working out). I could sit around and think […]

I often say, “You don’t get what you want; you get what you expect.” Your expectations are your standards or what you consider to be typical or average for you. So, let me ask you, “What are your self-love standards?” In other words, what do you consider normal in how you treat yourself? This year, I’m elevating […]

Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend!  Instead of sending you roses, I’d like to gift you something else: you letting the world really see you. I’ve coached many women around this topic (and I know these thoughts all too well, myself): “I don’t like the spotlight.”“It’s not safe to be seen,”“People will judge me.” But what’s […]

The alarm went off at 6:30AM. Every fiber of my being wanted to hit that snooze button. “You can start tomorrow.” “It’s cold outside.” “You have so much to do today.” But there was this little voice that said, “Show up, Tonya.” I rolled out of bed, put my workout clothes on, brushed my teeth […]

A few moments before typing this, my computer screen was frozen. I hit Command + Shift + R, and – voila, it refreshed and worked again. Do you ever feel like you need a life refresh? I get it. Sometimes, we just want to start over – unburdened by the past and free to create something […]

Have you ever been faced with a decision and logic told you to go one way, and your gut told you to go another? I have found myself in this predicament many times. And, time after time, when I ignore that deep knowing, I regret it.   There’s a Japanese phrase called “haragei,” which translates into […]

What in the world? Today is my birthday. I am ecstatic about my next year around the sun. And part of my birthday celebration always consists of a lot of reflection. This year, I’m thinking about my habits. Last week, I noticed something concerning. I was like a robot when I woke up. Here’s what […]

Friends, welcome to 2024! I don’t know about you, but I am so glad to see a new year, create new levels and new looks, and step into a new character. Let’s talk about that last one. We are all playing characters in life – mom, business owner, teacher, nurse, friend, sister, wife, etc. Almost […]
