Sickening consistency through lifestyle habits. We are chasing consistently good > occasionally great through our “another penny in the jar” mentality. Each day that you make a choice or successfully complete a habit you deposit a penny into the jar of the person you want to become. A penny doesn’t feel like much in the moment, but those daily deposits add up and you benefit from the compound interest of that over time.

    12 : Weekly Snapshot - How I Stay Fit and Productive as a SAH + WFH Mom

    In this episode I'm giving you an inside look at my full week - how I fit in workouts, daily walks, mobility, client work, content creation, and all the mom things without completely losing my mind. I cover my morning routine, why I wake up at 3:45 am on gym days, how I structure work around nap times, our daily 2.75-mile walk, and my favorite new habit: Homemaker Thursdays - where I lock myself off social media and work apps for a full 24 hours every week.
