We Can Do It.

Seemed very fitting for the 2021 Halloween.

Stepping up. Overcoming. Staying Strong in the face of adversity. Getting sh*to done!

Let's do it 💪

This week, make yourself a priority.

It's not selfish. It's necessary!

I quit school when I was six. You said I had to go back.

I wanted honey for breakfast every morning. You said only Sundays.

As a teenager, I wanted to go study in England, you got me a waitress job to pay for it.

At 23, I told you I got a job in New York. You helped me pack.

I decided to go to NYU in my mid-twenties. You sent me Swiss dry soup mix every month.

I told you I met the love of my life. You welcomed him with open arms.
 
You grounded me.
Then you gave me wings.
To reach for the stars.

Ich vermisse dich.

Happy Mother's Day Mama 💗

Hearts are Open ❣️

This last week I biked and walked a lot in and around the neighborhood to drop off little thank you notes for members' continued support of the studio and team.

It was a great way to rediscover the unique and diverse area that makes up our neighborhood in this great city. I came across so many little gems – from parks to boutiques, restaurants to murals, beach views to art galleries, small businesses, coffee shops and fitness studios - which I cannot wait to experience once we are out of this lockdown.

But the most inspiring sight of all were the lively street scenes. Despite the social distancing guidelines, I witnessed caring, joyful and inspiring personal interactions. No physical distance or mask can stop sincere human connection.

Many of our doors might have been mandated to stay closed, but Westboro hearts remained open!

Thank you to all who continue to make this such an incredible place to live, work and visit.

I cannot wait to see our streets hustling and bustling again with positive energy, laughter and the occasional shared ice cream!

Keep at it Ottawa, we got this!

Today is a good day.

Doing my part to get us back to a life of high fives, hugs and kisses.

I am grateful to be able to take care of my health. Staying strong and resilient.

Thank you and for keeping our community healthy.

Food = Fuel

Listen to your internal cues and block out the external cues that are getting in the way of your nutrition.

Your internal cues are when your body tells you it’s hungry, full, tired, sluggish, etc.

An example of an external cue you may not have even realized is watching TV while eating. When you’re doing this, you may tend to overeat because you’re getting your 🧠 to focus on two different tasks. Try eating at a table away from noise so you can focus on when you feel satiated.

What are some other external cues you feel get in the way of your nutrition❓

Family Day.

Entrepreneur Live is a rollercoaster. Not just from a business perspective, but emotionally as well.

Here I am leaving early from a family walk to go back to my business. To get ready to welcome my other family tomorrow as we reopen the studio .

Juggling the very many hats small business owners wear. Trying to do right by everyone. Not always succeeding, but never stop trying.

I can't wait to get my crew back with all the hustle, bustle, positive energy and laughter.

It's what fuels me.
What keeps me hustling.
What makes me happy.

What are some of the positive things this lockdown has brought you?
