“Are you fit?” “Did you say that you workout?” These were the questions our tour guide was shouting to me as I struggled to keep up with him and my husband biking through the hills of Austria. We had booked a bike tour in hopes of seeing more of the beautiful Austria countryside and getting […]

You Are Worthy Enough to Challenge Yourself
When was the last time you considered yourself worthy and precious enough for a challenge? This summer, I wanted to step outside of my norm and go on a solo adventure to get in touch with myself and reclaim the confidence and self-worth I had been letting get dusty on the shelf.

I feel like I’ve had a few ah-ha moments in my life, but a big one came when I was in college. I had been battling an eating disorder for 6 years and I knew I was dating the guy I wanted to marry. I found myself ready for a change – ready to turn […]
