Ready or Not

Life doesn’t wait for you to get ready; it moves whether you’re ready or not. So why not take control of what God has given you … faith without works is dead! We all have dreams, big ones—dreams that scare us,make us 'nercited,' and that’s a good thing. If your vision doesn’t shake you up a little, you’re playing small. And personally small is not my style. You didn’t come this far just to stay where you are. Every single step you’ve taken, every win, every failure, they’ve all been laying the groundwork for what’s next. The question is, are you willing to push a little harder, go a little further?

Nobody’s gonna hand you the life you want. You gotta get up every single day, look in that mirror, and tell yourself, 'I’ve got this.' And yeah, it won’t always be smooth. It won’t always feel good. But growth doesn’t come from comfort; it comes from stretching beyond what you think you can do. It comes from those moments where you're unsure, where you feel like you’re stumbling. But that’s where the magic happens, that’s where the breakthroughs are born.

And guess what? It’s not about being perfect. Perfection is a myth that keeps you stuck. What matters is showing up every day, doing the work—even when your best feels a little messy. Because messy is where progress lives. It’s in the consistency, in the discipline of showing up, that you become who you’re meant to be. Success isn’t about doing it all at once. It’s about those small wins you stack up, day after day, until one day you look up and realize how far you’ve come.

You already have everything it takes. You’re strong enough. You’re smart enough. You’re capable enough. The only question is, are you going to act on it? Or are you going to let fear, doubt, or excuses slow you down? Let me tell you something: there will never be a perfect moment. You’ll never feel 100% ready. The timing will never be just right. So stop waiting for everything to align and make this moment the start of something big. You don’t need permission, you just need to decide. Because if not now, when?

This is your time. Right here, right now. Not next year, not when things calm down, not when life gets easier—because spoiler alert, life’s always going to be life. But you can be the one who rises above it. Take that leap. Move toward your dreams with boldness, knowing that every single effort you make is a step closer to the life you’re creating. Don’t just live life, own it!"

The Last Day of Being 39

It’s hard to believe, but today is the last day of being 39, and I find myself looking back on this past decade with so much gratitude. My 30s have been a whirlwind of change, growth, and discovery, and now, as I prepare to step into 40, I feel more excited than ever for what’s to come. One of the biggest things this year has been starting this “Get 5” business. After all of the dreaming, planning, and working through the challenges, it’s finally happening. This journey has pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me so much about patience, perseverance, and trusting the process. I’m stoked about what The Lord has allowed us to build so far, and I can’t wait to see where this new venture takes us.  I feel overwhelmingly blessed to share this journey with the people I love most—my incredible husband, James, and our three amazing daughters. James has been my rock through all the ups and downs, always supporting me, encouraging me, and believing in me when I’ve doubted myself. And our

Carpe Diem

As the week winds down and Friday arrives, I can’t help but reflect on all the blessings the Lord has given me. Each moment, whether big or small, holds significance. Today, I was reminded of something powerful:there is nothing too small to pray for.  It’s easy to think that only the big challenges deserve prayer, but God cares about every detail of our lives. When we bring even the smallest concerns to Him, we open the door for His grace to work in unexpected ways. It can be easy to take things for granted—the busy days blend together, and we forget to pause and appreciate the goodness around us. But today, I’m taking a moment to soak it all in: the simple joys, the answered prayers, the quiet moments of peace. Gratitude, it changes everything! It shifts our perspective from what we don’t have to what we’ve been blessed with. As the week comes to an end, it's not just about coasting into the weekend. Finishing the week with discipline is a choice—one that builds the foundation for

Nercited

Have you ever felt nervous and excited all at once? It’s that flutter in your stomach, the buzzing in your mind when something new is just around the corner. I like to call it feeling “nercited.” It’s that perfect mix of nerves and excitement that hits right before stepping out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. We all face these moments—starting a new job, moving to a different city, or even starting a new fitness class. It’s so easy to stick to what we know, where it’s safe and predictable. But there’s a certain kind of magic in the unknown, where growth happens, where we become more than we ever thought possible. That’s where courage comes in. Courage isn’t about not feeling fear; it’s about feeling the fear and still choosing to move forward. We Need to develop a constant push to be better and to take action, even when we’d rather stay in our comfort zone. There are days when it feels like a battle against your own willpower. But the payoff? It’s incredible. You get to the
