Living Joyful and Well

Hey there! Today's episode is about life. My little take on life these days and my little life as a peri/pre/menopausal woman smacking me in the face. Good times!

Today I wanted to share my excitement for and thoughts on The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 which recently passed the House in the U.S.A. This is an important act as it is a step in the right direction in correcting the insanity that we have been dealing with for the last several years. This is a super important issue for me and my hope in bringing it up is that more women will speak up and speak out about the protection of women and girls in sports and women only spaces. 

Welcome to 2025! Today I'm here to say "Hello" and give you a little bit of encouragement as we head into this new year! Listen in and let's have an amazing year!!

Life is meant to be lived and now is the time to get to livin'!! Enjoy your day!!

JOIN our FREE Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREThere is so much negativity out there and it' so rampant that we all are exposed in some way. Today I want to encourage you to stop allowing negativity to rule your life. Audit your inputs and the people around you- are they adding to your life or taking away? I encourage you to look for people, places, information that enhances your life and doesn't take away from the life you are meant to live!Enjoy your day!!

JOIN our FREE Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREToday's episode is about why I do what I do and why I talk about what I talk about! I had an experience yesterday that further solidified WHY it's so important to take care of yourself and to be the best version of yourself that you can be! Enjoy your day!!

JOIN our FREE Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREHi!! I'm back! It's 2024 and I'm ready to rock this year and beyond!! Today I'm talking about looking at your life as The Long Game instead of the next 30 days or the next 21 day challenge. Life is a journey and I believe it's about living your LIFESTYLE. A diet, a workout program, a challenge is not your life- those can 100% be integrated into your life, but each one individually is just a portion of your lifestyle. Listen in as I share my perspective on life, which I call The Long Game, and let's work together to be our most amazing selves in midlife and beyond! LFG!!!

JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREToday I'm talking about the last 45 days of 2023 and what will you do with these days! I would love to encourage you to be proactive in this time and go after what it is that you want in life. Do NOT wait! Just start NOW and get small wins every day that will compound on top of each other towards your greatness! Enjoy your day!!

JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREToday I'm talking about what are we normalizing when it comes to health and wellness. Are the things we think are normal really what we want to focus on or are we making the habit of normalizing things that are easy vs right? What type of culture do we really want to cultivate? Listen in and let me know your thoughts!Enjoy your day!!

JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREToday I'm talking about making your health, fitness, and overall life a LIFESTYLE. There is no such thing as a long term 21 day fix or 30 day challenge or 7 days to tight abs. Those might work for a short period of time, but in the long term they are bound to fail. We need to look at changes and habits as a lifestyle change, not for short term bouncing all over the place up and down and all around.Enjoy your day!!

JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREToday I'm talking about the next 90 days… 4th quarter momentum, baby! We have 90 days left of 2023 and I want to light a fire and inspire YOU to make them the best days of the year so that you feel your best EVER heading into 2024.  LFG!!!

Today I want to remind you (and me) that not everything is worth freaking out about or feeling as though you need to do or not do something. There is a lot of shame that gets tossed around when it comes to foods, exercise, and ways of living and it's not cool. We are all on our own path and need to learn and grow our own way and use discernment with what we are hearing. There is a lot of conflicting information, fear mongering, and outright bad information out there and it's easy to get caught up in the mayhem.  It JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook- HEREEnjoy your day!!

Today I want to encourage you to bet on you- bet on yourself to be and do the things that YOU want to do! There will be many naysayers in your life that will try to deter you from doing what you want to do or from striving for what you want to be. I believe we need to get in our own heads, trust our gut and intuition and believe in ourselves. You CAN do this if you believe in yourself!JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREEnjoy your day!!

Today I'm sharing why it's so important to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I have some thoughts on why we need to strive to belong to the 5% club who want to pursue excellence vs. the 95% of people in the world that aren't willing to do the things to have success. No change comes from your comfort zone so we all have to learn to do the hard stuff to get what we want out of life.  JOIN our Community- 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREEnjoy your day!!

Today I am talking about taking control of YOU. Have we become soft as a society? Many people will say we have and that we are going down a path of self-destruction. It's my belief that we can change that trajectory by simply taking back our individual power and being our personal best! Don't allow someone on the outside to tell you that you have to do this or that- take your power back and take control of you. Remember, your health and your fitness are YOUR #1 job as you age!JOIN 'Team IronMom Life' on Facebook HEREEnjoy your day!!

Do you ever feel like you're never going to reach where you want to go? Do you feel like the "mountain" is too high for your to conquer? Today I want to encourage you to go get your mountain! Take action today- small or not, just start and then keep going!! Listen in and be inspired to go after your "thing". NOW is the time- go get YOUR mountain!Enjoy your day!!

On today's episode I am expanding upon the last episode and our #1 job as we age and inviting you to choose the extra mile! The status quo is pretty lame these days and not hard to achieve, so my challenge for you is to choose to go beyond the ordinary and exceed expectations.Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm filling you in on what I see as your #1 job as you age! It's super important and something we should all key in on at any stage of our life. I believe in thriving through our life as opposed to just surviving so in order to do that we have to take care of ourselves. So, what is our #1 job? To take care of our health and our fitness!! To be in charge of ourselves and to get as healthy and fit as possible. Listen in and see why I think this is SUPER important!Enjoy your day!!

Hi!! I'm back!! Today is just a little update since I've been gone for a few weeks and I'm filling you in on a little change (addition) going forward! Let's GROW this IronMOM Movement!!Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about boundaries and having boundaries for the people around you as well as boundaries with yourself to stay within your integrity. Have boundaries like a Mother (if you catch my drift)! Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about the one thing you can ALWAYS control even when everything seems out of your control! Your thoughts are your own and you have complete control over what goes on inside your head. Enjoy your day!!

On today's 2 Minute Tuesday I want to share a little tip I learned about actively supporting instead of canceling. I think it's a great idea considering our current culture of canceling things we disagree with or don't like. I'm always one for flipping to the positive or optimistic side and this is an excellent example of that! What do you think? Can you work to support things you agree with instead of outwardly canceling? I'd love to know your thoughts!Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm sharing the #1 asset you must possess and within that asset, a super important "wonder drug" that just about anyone can use! This one thing could change the trajectory of your life! I won't give it away, so dive in and give this one a listen!Enjoy your day!!

Happy 3 Year Podcast-Aversary! I launched my podcast on May 19, 2020 and as I was writing these show notes I realized here we are on May 19, 2023!! Seems like a good episode being it's about reflecting on where it all began! Too bad I didn't realize what day it was when I was recording or I would have reflected on the journey of podcasting for 3 years! At any rate, THANK YOU for being here along this fun and adventurous journey!! Love you all!!Today I want to remind you to take the time to reflect back on when you began your journey- whatever YOUR journey might be and to notice how far you've come from there! We all have our own journey and timeline and we often forget how far we've come when we feel like it's taking longer than we want to get "there". If you haven't started your journey, then this is also a reminder to just START! Start today and make it a day 1- we all have a day 1 and you won't get anywhere if you never begin!Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about boundaries- as it relates to people as well as your priorities. Are you setting boundaries? Today might be a good day to think about what is most important to you and begin to set boundaries around what means the most to you!Enjoy your day!!

Today's episode is a quick one and I'm asking the question -are you using time as an excuse? We all have the same number of hours in a day, so what are you doing with those hours?Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about the journey through life and the fact that each one of our lives is different and unique and that we all have something to share. You don't have to have a big story or a tragedy or trauma to feel like you have something to contribute to the world. We all have something to give!Enjoy your day!!

On today's quick episode I'm asking you to think about whether you look at life as the victim or the victor. Are you able to see that life is working for you or do you feel like everything is against you? Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about the pillar of Health- one of my all time favorite topics because I believe that health is what sets us up for life. If we don't have our health, we have a very difficult time enjoying any other part of life. It's something we each need to take control of and decide if we are problem driven (this is so hard) or we are solution driven (I will figure this out and just get started). Enjoy your day!!

On today's episode I'm talking about The Gap- that space between where you are currently and where you want to go in the future.  Listen in and take a moment to think about what is YOUR Gap? What actions do you need to take to move out of the gap and into your future?Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about how good things take time. It's not often a popular thing to say, especially being in an instant gratification type of society. We all go through periods of time where we want things to happen quicker than they do. We want results faster, success faster, and we just don't have the patience sometimes to see things through. Today is a reminder to enjoy the journey and to be aware that things just take time. Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm sharing a quick quote from my morning meditation and talking about why I shared it! My challenge to you today is to rekindle your spark!Enjoy your day!!

On today's episode I'm sharing a quote/poem that I came across a while back and today seems like a really good time to share it. Recently, I have had conversations with other Moms about hating their bodies so I wanted to offer this to you all as something to think about and maybe it will help to shift your mindset.Enjoy your day!!

It's Two Minute Tuesday and today I am asking you to think about what it is that you want to see for the month of April. What do you want to have accomplished or what feelings do you want to feel this month? Take some time to think about it and write it down! April showers bring May flowers- how we set ourselves up this month will help set the stage for what can happen next month! Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about how we each need to seek out those people, communities, companies, mentors, etc that bring  value and 'better for us' advice and who also don't add to the world's insanity. There is so much noise out there and everyone (including me) are tossing out our "truths"; which in reality are more like our beliefs and it can be really confusing and down right insane. I am someone who loves to learn and I seek out information and I'm an advocate for truth, but it boils down to MY truth. It may align with others and it may not and that's ok! We are each individuals and unique and I believe (see there it is) we can all share information, talk about topics and agree or not agree and still coexist without being told we are wrong.  Bottom line is that we can all learn and listen, but in the end we each will make up our own minds on what is OUR truth.Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm going over my way of habit stacking. Stacking new habits onto an already existing habit so that both become easy to do on a consistent basis!Enjoy your day!!

On today's podcast I talk about one of the 8 principles of IronMom Life... Discipline and specifically personal discipline! I just finished a book that prompted me to record this episode because I feel that as the book stated, discipline equals freedom.Give it a listen and let me know your biggest takeaway over on Instagram!Enjoy your day!!

On today's episode I want to wish you a Happy Spring and share a quick quote from my daily calendar.  "Being here, proud, despite it all, is enough."Enjoy your day!!

I am super excited about today's episode because it is so in alignment with what I've been thinking about and researching and I feel like it's so important to share this message. You do not have to buy into dogma- with anything- health, fitness, consumer products, nutrition, religion, etc... we each need to have the courage to forge our own path, do our own research, form opinions, and think and do what we believe is best for each of us individually! There is so much nuance in everything and so much information out there about every topic, but you have to be willing to seek out your "truth". There really isn't ONE truth... there are many truths unique to each of us. Yep, I said it. You may not agree with me, but that's OK! I want you to think for yourself and have the courage to do you and be you!Enjoy your day!!

On today's 2 Minute Tuesday I'm sharing that I believe one of my obligations is to share my mantra of Enjoy The Day! It's short and sweet and hope it inspires you to find something to enjoy today and every day!!Enjoy your day!!

Today we're talking about being alive and that now is the time to share your aliveness with the world! I believe that if we can put a higher vibration into the world, it will benefit everyone and everything. Sharing your excitement, vigor, will to live and be the best human you can possibly be will not only benefit you and your immediate environment, but the world as a whole! Let's get ready to be alive!! Enjoy your day!!

I share a little story about him and what he does that brings me JOY every morning. What is a little moment that you can enjoy?Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm talking about being a vehicle for something. I believe we are all a vehicle for something- meaning that we all have something to share with others.

I'd love to know and I'd love to share with others what our community has to give! Send me a DM on Instagram!! @IronMom_LifeEnjoy your day!!

Today I'm sharing one of my limiting beliefs and how I've discovered that it truly is all in my head.

On today's 2 Minute Tuesday episode I'm talking about how there really is NO one right way to do pretty much anything. We are all individuals and nobody is the same. Why would we expect one diet, one exercise program, one anything to be the same for all of us?Enjoy your day!!

Today I'm sharing what I believe to be the quickest way to change your mindset... MOVE YOUR BODY!!! We dramatically underestimate the power of how exercise will make us feel and it's time to change that mindset! Exercise or movement is a super powerful antidepressant, mood changer, and just an all around amazing way to sensitize you to more JOY!! So get to it and MOVE!!

❤️Today I'm sharing the #1 key to longevity!! It's one of my all time favorite things to do, so listen in and let's get to living LONG!!

On today's episode I am passionately explaining how I feel about being an American and what I believe that we, as Moms, can do to BE all that we can BE! We have the responsibility to take control of ourselves and not to be controlled by outside entities. Not everything is as we are told on the TV or on social media. We are each living REAL lives and most of us are not fighting and arguing and being awful to each other. Most of us are going along minding our own business, living our lives, but at the same time we are inundated with fear. I am done seeing people be controlled by others and being controlled by fear. My mission is to build a Mom Army...aka- a Community- of awesome, strong, tough, self disciplined Mamas that want the best for ourselves as well as for our kiddos! It's time for us to come together and take control! P.S.- if you aren't an American you are still SUPER welcome! I believe this impacts all of us all over the world and the more of us that band together, the less control "they" will have!
