3 books that Will Dramatically Improve Your Life Right Now.

You look in the mirror and stare at what you hate. You scroll through Facebook and compare yourself to fashionistas & fitness models. You step on a scale & damn near implode because the number was +1 since yesterday. You scan through Pinterest and think you’re a shitty mom since you can’t make those super creative cupcakes. It happens every day. Beautiful, strong, intelligent & powerful women are veiled by their perceived “flaws.” These “perceived” flaws can destroy us from the inside, out. They can extinguish our beauty, deteriorate our strengths, stifle our intelligence & suppress our power. I was …

No Validation Needed

After being away for over a week with my mentorship crew and presenting to a room of alomost 200 passionate entrepeneurs about the importance of believing in yourself and cultivating your life around that which you love, I immediately felt drawn to better my communication with our GEvolution Community.

It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve …

Thoughts & Words. Strength or Weakness.

Behavior Kinesiology Behavior Kinesiology is a branch of kinesiology (the study of human movement) that studies how thinking directly impacts our physical body, stress symptoms & the effects on our immune system. Behavioral kinesiology helps us to determine if we are carrying old limiting beliefs that are continually self-sabotaging. With that being said, words are very powerful. So powerful, that even multiple tests performed in the field of Behavior Kinesiology, have found consistent links between self-sabotaging thoughts & negative speech and increased or decreased strength and/or our output from our muscles. Dr. John Diamond, the founder of Behavior Kinesiology noted that “muscles get stronger or weaker depending …

New Year. New You. No Thank You.

I’m not gonna do the whole “new year, new you” thing. Not even close. Instead, I offer this reminder… Every moment of every day entitles us to make our own decisions, no matter what four digits follow the month & day. We are our present, not our past & our present decisions craft our future. I welcome us to embrace our ability to craft that future, moment by moment. Choose to immerse ourselves into what makes us happiest. Choose to fill our body with nutritious fuel. Choose to activate our bodies daily so we can experience longevity & optimal well-being. …

Live From Within –

The moment had arrived. It was 13 challenging and character-building weeks after I officially and suddenly decided to compete in my 1st figure competition. There I stood, pumped up, “glam”ed up and “bling”ed out, in line with some of the most amazing women I had ever had the pleasure of sharing time and space with. The line was shortening as each brilliant woman stepped on stage to show the audience and judges what their personal commitment had created. For some, this was a bucket list check-off, for some this was a way of life. For me, it was the ultimate …

Confessions of a “CouldaBeen”

It was the Olympic Trials. I was prepared, physically. I was experiencing the best season of my life and found myself edging closer to my longed-for 200Ft. throw in competition and making the USA Olympic Track & Field Team (just typing it, gives me butterflies). I was 27 years old and I thought of this moment since I started throwing discus at age 15. Ranked 5th in the USA and 32nd in the world, I stepped into the stadium in Sacramento, California. Physically, I was ready to go, ready to accomplish, and just like my discus, ready to soar. My …

Puzzles

Puzzles. I used to always do them as a child, especially with my grandma. She was the queen of puzzles. I would sit alongside of her for hours in her house in Queens, NY with 1,000 pieces of “whoa” laid out before us on a cutting board the size of a stovetop. As we would devote our focus and patiently search for the right pieces, we would eventually get into a groove and exceptionally beautiful pictures of landscapes, homes, horses, kittens, cities, etc. would start to emerge. Once we were in that groove, we just couldn’t stop. We were dialed in. We looked forward …

Comfort? Not Really.

Some InspirationThruExperience. The Comfort Zone is not necessarily a positive feeling/place. “Comfort” although synonymous with cozy, warm & safe is also a dwelling place for mediocrity, fear, complacency and effortlessness. Life TRULY does BEGIN at when you step out of your comfort zone or your routine or your mundane repetition of all you know yourself to be. Step outside of this zone. Step outside of what you are “used to” and begin to LIVE. What is ONE THING you always wanted to do? Stop Reading. Answer the Question. Now write in down. Now pursue it. NOTHING IS STOPPING YOU except, …

Default Settings

Change your default setting to DO IT! Well, what the hell does that mean? Your default setting is that automatic moment. It’s that “go-to” moment, that doubtful moment. That moment of doubt that occurs when you are met with something new, something you have never attempted before. A challenge, feat, want, desire…. It’s that first thought, that one second that triggers your mind to believe “I can’t do THAT!” We all do it. We all question ourselves. Well, you my friend have now been welcomed to step OUT of your comfort zone. That routine, mundane place where you reside. That limited domain …
