❤️ A DAY IN MY LIFE 🌿

My daily non-negotiables don’t have to be complicated!

💗 Longevity Core first thing in the morning: 20g protein, 5g creatine, and 5g collagen.

💗 A good, healthy breakfast to fuel my day.

💗 Head to work with a good attitude and a grateful heart!

💗 Make time after work to ground myself. Enjoy the sunshine, feel the breeze, sit in the grass, and yes, even the dirt! ☀️🌱 Sometimes it’s the simplest things that bring us back to ourselves.

💗 Fuel my body with plenty of healthy food throughout the day. I use an app to track my macros now, and it makes life SO much simpler!

💗 Get some kind of movement in.

💗 Take my nighttime supplement, wind down, and prioritize my sleep. 😴

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being intentional and showing up for yourself, one day at a time. ❤️

Who’s coming into 2027 with a game plan WITH ME? 🙋‍♀️💗🌿

Why wait for January? Let’s start building those habits NOW!

❤️ STOP TRYING TO BE LESS. START TAKING UP SPACE. ❤️

My relationship with food has been a struggle for most of my life. A battle that people might never have known I was fighting because, yes, I eat! But eating enough, fueling my body, and letting go of the fear around food? That’s been a whole different story.

We’ve been taught as women for so long to be smaller, quieter, take up less space, and make ourselves less.

And somewhere along the way, I think I took that message literally when it came to food, too.

But I’m changing the way I think. 💪🏼

I started tracking my macros, making sure I’m actually eating ENOUGH, and following a new training plan that’s challenging me to fuel my body properly, including incorporating more meat and protein than I was used to.

And you know what? In just the last couple of weeks, I’m feeling the difference. My energy is up, I’m feeling better, and I’m already noticing changes in my body.

What if the answer was never to eat less, but to fuel ourselves better? ❤️

Especially if you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause, protein is your friend! Your body needs the right fuel to support muscle, strength, recovery, and healthy aging.

I’m learning that I don’t have to shrink myself to be worthy. I don’t have to be afraid of food. And I don’t have to apologize for wanting to be strong.

So here’s your reminder, ladies:

🔥 Don’t try to be less. Take up space.
🔥 Don’t be afraid to be loud.
🔥 Eat enough to fuel the woman you’re becoming.
🔥 Prioritize your protein.
🔥 Build strength, not fear around food.

In a world that has spent generations telling women to make themselves smaller, BE BIGGER. BE LOUDER. TAKE UP SPACE. ❤️

I’m turning 61, and I’m not here to disappear. I’m here to become the strongest, healthiest version of myself I’ve ever been.

And I’m just getting started. 🌱💪🏼

🌸💕 YOU NEVER KNOW SOMEONE’S STORY… SO DON’T JUDGE THE COVER. 💕🌸

I don’t worry about who says what about me. ❤️ You don’t know what it took for me to get here, the challenges I’ve faced, the lessons I’ve learned, or the work I’ve put into becoming the woman I am today. 🌷✨

People ask me all the time… “What do you do? How do you keep your energy, your smile, and your youthful glow?” 🌸💗

My answer is always the same… Hugh & Grace! 🌿💕

These are products I personally use and love, and I’m so glad I said YES! 💖

And if you’re curious, have questions, or want to know more, please reach out to me! I’m always happy to share my personal experience. 🥰🌸

Do your own research. Ask questions. Make your own decisions. Don’t let somebody else’s negativity stop you from exploring something that might be right for YOU. 💗🌿

At the end of the day, you owe it to yourself to make your own choices. 🌷✨

I’m proud of the woman I’m becoming, grateful for the journey, and excited about what’s still ahead. 💕

🌸 I’m glad I said YES! 🌸

Sending love, light, and a whole lot of pink hearts! 💕🩷💗

I was that girl who chased skinny in high school and into my early twenties. But somewhere around 26 or 27, I found weight training, and honestly? I believe it saved my life. 💪🏼❤️

I discovered that I didn’t just want to be smaller. I wanted to be stronger. I wanted to build muscle, challenge myself, and see what my body was capable of.

And as we get older, building and maintaining muscle becomes even more important.

So here I am. Squatting, pressing, showing up, and putting in the work. Not because I’m trying to prove anything to anyone, but because I owe it to myself to keep getting stronger.

I’m showing up for ME. For my kids. For my grandkids. And for the woman I want to be at 80. ❤️

I want strength. I want independence. I want to be able to get up off the floor, carry my own bags, chase my grandkids, travel, move my body, and live my life to the fullest.

I’m not interested in shrinking myself to fit somebody else’s idea of what a woman should look like.

I’m building a body that can carry me through life.

I’m not chasing my 25-year-old body. I’m chasing my 80-year-old body. 💪🏼❤️🌿

✨ “How can you be so sure it’ll all work out?”

Because I know the Author. 🤍🙏🏻 God is writing my story, but I’m still responsible for the choices I make, the habits I build, the people, places, and things I surround myself with, and how I care for myself along the way.

People ask me all the time what I’m doing, why my skin looks different, and why I seem so happy. And honestly, I’m starting to see what they’re seeing! 😂💗

I truly believe the old saying beauty comes from within has more truth to it than we ever realized.

After years of struggling with my relationship with food and my body, taking care of my gut and being more intentional about what I put in, on, and around my body has become a priority. 🌿🤍

One of my absolute NON-NEGOTIABLES? My morning routine with my Hugh & Grace supplements! 💗 They’ve become part of my daily ritual, and I love what this wellness journey has brought into my life — physically, mentally, and through the incredible friendships and community I’ve found along the way.

At almost 61, I’m not interested in chasing my younger self. I’m interested in becoming the healthiest, happiest version of who I am NOW. ✨

No more keeping quiet about the things I love! I’m sharing what works for me, and if you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and struggling with brain fog, mood changes, or night sweats, I’d love to talk with you about your wellness journey. Everyone’s experience is different, and you deserve support. 🤍

💕 Curious about my morning routine? Drop a pink heart below, and I’ll send you the information!

Messy hair, pajamas, and my morning must-haves. Because sometimes the best changes start with the simplest routines. 🌿💗🤍✨

💕 I WISH I COULD TELL HER… 💕

2016 ➡️ 2026

If I could sit across from the girl I was in 2016, I wonder if she would believe me.

She was sad, depressed, hurt by betrayal, and smiling because that’s what everyone expected. She had no idea what the next 10 years would bring.

I’d tell her, “Hold on, girl. You have no idea how beautiful life is about to become.” 🩷

You’re going to become stronger mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You’re going to start a wellness business. You’re going to discover that true beauty really does start from the inside out. 🌿

Your skin will glow. Your hair will look healthier. Your smile will be brighter. And the happiness you once thought was out of reach? You’ll find it within yourself.

People ask me all the time what I take, what I do for my skin, and how I seem to be aging in reverse. 😉

My answer always comes back to my Hugh & Grace products. 💕 I truly believe they’ve become an important part of my wellness journey, helping me prioritize how I feel on the inside as well as how I care for myself on the outside.

I wish I could tell that girl in 2016 what was waiting for her. But maybe she had to live those 10 years to discover just how strong she really was. ✨

And to the woman I am today? I’m proud of her. And I’m just getting started! 💗🌿

Don’t wait for January 1st.
Don’t wait for the first of the month.
Don’t wait for Monday.

Don’t wait for a new year to become a new you. Your next chapter starts NOW. ❤️

Do it tired.
Do it unmotivated.
Do it when you’re busy.
Do it when you don’t feel like it.

Just SHOW UP for yourself. 💪🏼

We’re gonna get out of these last 3 months what we put into them. So let’s take that energy and FINISH THIS YEAR STRONGER THAN WE STARTED IT!

No waiting for permission.
No waiting for perfection.
No waiting for the perfect time. Because let’s be honest… there’s NEVER going to be a perfect time.

JUST START. JUST SHOW UP. JUST DO THE WORK. 🔥🌱

And one thing that’s staying at the top of my priority list? PROTEIN! 💪🏼🍳

I’ll be 61 this month, and building and maintaining muscle is a BIG deal to me. Getting enough protein is an important part of that, especially as we get older.

Want to know more about getting enough protein? Comment PROTEIN below, and let’s talk! ❤️

🚨🚨🚨 YOU ASKED… HERE IT IS!!! 🚨🚨🚨

The walking challenge we’ve ALL been waiting for is officially happening!!! 💗🤍🌿

I am honestly overwhelmed (in the BEST way!) by how many of you have been messaging me asking, “When are we starting the walking challenge?!”

Well… WE’RE STARTING OCTOBER 15TH! 🎉💗

14 days.
No complicated rules.
No minimum steps.
No specific workout.

Just MOVE. 🌿

As you can see in my reel, you can walk on the beach, walk on a treadmill, walk at the gym, get your steps in while boxing, take a walk in a nature preserve, do some yard work, dance on the beach with your friends… heck, you might even push a wheelbarrow or climb a waterfall! 😂

However you want to move your body. However you want to get your steps in. Whatever makes you feel good and gets you moving. 💗

Your only job? MOVE EVERY DAY and check in with us inside our private Facebook group. That’s it!

And YES… you’ll want your Hydra Detox ready to go! 😉💗

The minimum is a 15-pack, and my favorite flavor is Strawberry Lemonade 🍓🍋. If you already know you’re going to love it, grab the 30-pack and you’ll be ready for what comes next! 👀

I’ll be sending the link to everyone who has asked TONIGHT and TOMORROW, so CHECK YOUR DMs! 📲

If you messaged me about the challenge and didn’t get a link, just comment WALKING below and I’ll get it to you! 👇🏼💗

OCTOBER 15TH. 14 DAYS. LET’S MOVE.

And hopefully… this is just the beginning. 🌿💗🤍

Who’s walking with me?! 👟🔥

🥊 Today was probably my third day back at boxing since my knee injury, and I’ve been very careful about pivoting and not overworking my knee.

But today? I felt strong.

A huge thank-you to Macy and Gus at House of Champions in Vero for always pushing me to be the best version of myself. 🥊❤️

I’ve been consistent with my healthy meal plan and my daily supplements—my Longevity Core with creatine and collagen, my Hydrate Detox, and my AM supplements. This is what I call “the routine.” And taking care of myself has been a big part of this comeback.

And I’m realizing something:

I don’t want to be 20, 30, 40, or even 50 again.

I want to be the best version of myself at 61 that I can possibly be. ❤️

If you’re curious about the supplements I use, reach out. I’m happy to share what I use and offer you a discount code. No pressure. ❤️

Never give up on your dreams.
Never give up on your goals.
Never stop believing in what’s possible.

It’s never too late to start. 🥊❤️

“I am not like everybody else.
I don’t want to be like everybody else.
I have something inside burning.
I’m supposed to be something different.”

I feel this in my soul.

I’ve never been someone who could just do one thing and stay in one little box.

I can be in a church prayer group on Sunday night, in my boxing gloves Monday morning, lifting weights Monday afternoon, and dreaming about the next adventure before the day is over. 😂🥊

But underneath all of that is something much deeper.

I have this feeling—deep down in my soul—that I’m here for a purpose.

And I believe part of that purpose is helping other women feel alive again.

To have the energy to do the things they love.
To feel strong in their bodies.
To believe that getting older doesn’t mean getting smaller.
To keep growing, changing, learning, dreaming and becoming.

I don’t want to be like everybody else.

I want to be exactly who God created me to be.

And if there’s something burning inside of you too…
maybe you’re supposed to be something different, too. ❤️🌿

If you’re ready to feel your best and have the energy to actually LIVE the life you want, come talk to me. ❤️

I think we’ve made aging way more depressing than it actually is.

Everywhere you look, there’s a warning about what’s coming next.

🚨Your metabolism is going to slow down.

🚨Your hormones are going to be a mess.

🚨Your body is going to change.

🚨Your energy is going to disappear.

🚨Your joints are going to hurt.

🚨Your skin is going to change.

And somewhere along the way, we started talking about our 40s and 50s like they’re the beginning of the end.

But what if we talked a little more about what can go RIGHT?

💙You can get stronger.

💙You can feel better in your body.

💙You can learn what your body actually needs.

💙You can stop punishing yourself with diets and endless cardio.

💙You can have more confidence than you did at 30.

💙You can care less about what everyone thinks.

💙You can become more comfortable with who you are.

💙And you can genuinely be excited about what’s ahead.

I’m 60 !!! I flew through menopause… I THOUGHT 🤭… but in the last year or so , I noticed those things I missed when eveyone I know was suffering … finally started popping up … the weight gain … the way I felt like I was in “some strangers body” .. I am still figuring things out, still changing, still growing…and honestly?

I feel like I’m just getting started and in the best shape of my life!

Maybe aging isn’t something we need to fight. Maybe we just need to stop being told we should be afraid of it.

If any of this resonates, let’s talk ! I can help you with nutrition, supplements and workouts at home …. I am back at home.. and these workouts are only 30 mins… and I’m feeling like ME again …
