I officially launched this community, and I’m already noticing something powerful. A theme is emerging that I didn’t expect: Resilience. So many people who want to write their life story aren’t just trying to record what happened. They’re trying to make sense of what they’ve survived, what they’ve learned, and how they’ve grown. Because, let’s face it, when life feels tough, it can be easy to believe the struggle is the whole story and to succumb to despair and depression. But as I’ve discovered, your life story is also about how you rose above difficult moments. That’s what this community is about. It's a place for people who want to finally write their life story with support, structure, and encouragement along the way. If you’ve been thinking about writing your story, now is the time. Join the 60-Day Life Story Blueprint today and start turning your life into a story worth sharing.

Let’s start the week by being intentional with how we fuel our bodies. For the last 2 years, my body has been craving eggs and spinach for breakfast. So I’ve had a variation of that, mixing and matching with avocado and toast. Is it always perfect? No, that’s not the goal. The goal is to be consistent while not feeling like I’m depriving myself. So my diet is about 80% healthy, 20% satisfying a craving. Like when I have breakfast with my family on the weekends, I will allow myself to have a pancake or a fresh croissant. What does your meal look like? And if you haven’t received my list of proteins you can mix and match to reach 100g daily, just leave a comment and I’ll send it to you.☺️ (Pictures of what my breakfast typically looks like)

Recently, a client of mine shared photos of her food from her anniversary weekend. She had a celebratory slice of cake & ice cream (as she should). When I had my check-in with her, she mentioned how she treated it as a cheat day so she wouldn’t feel as bad about the choices she made. This is where I pump the breaks as a coach✋🏽🛑 A “cheat” day is basically a day you throw caution to the wind & eat essentially however you would like. We have all played around with this phrase, even I have used this phrase when I was a new lifter. But I think cheat days need to stop being viewed as cheat days & need to start being viewed as something else👀 Cheating implies you’ve done something wrong. That you are lying about something or keeping it very secretive or feel shameful. This isn’t what we want to think when it comes to food or nutrition. You should like the food you eat. You shouldn’t be miserable when eating well & you definitely shouldn’t feel ashamed for wanting to have a little fun. When you look at it from more of an 80/20 perspective, it helps when you are faced with this way of thinking. The 80/20 rule is 80% of the time you are eating mindfully & with your goals in mind. The 20% is the flexibility portion. Maybe you ran out of your meal prep & have to order out. Or someone invited you to a birthday dinner/party & theres sweets & high calorie foods. Or maybe you just really want an ice cream for dessert while you are out on a day off. That all falls under that 20%. But the purpose is that the large majority of the time you are eating in alignment with your goals while still giving yourself a little bit of wiggle room for those kinds of situations. So don’t feel shame in having a flex day, especially around holidays & celebrations. But remember to practice self control & make the best choices for you💪🏽 Happy Memorial Day to all our veterans👏🏽 We at Temple thank all the men & women who have served our country🤍

I’m nervous about starting my new community. I don''t know if you can relate but it's easy for me to talk myself out of something. It’s easy to talk yourself out of starting something before it even has a chance to breathe. I wonder if people will join, if they will engage, what to say... What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone starting a new community?
