Rewind to when I had my first child – I was a lead fitness instructor, with a job writing meal plans and doing marketing for the largest online meal-planning company. At that point, health was important to me, but it was more about rushing around and making it to the Pure Barre studio on time, and not as much focus on OTHER important parts of my health.

A huge turning point in my health journey was after I had my oldest son, and had a traumatic birth and 4th degree tear that left me unable to walk to my mailbox. As a fitness instructor and a very active, bubbly person, this left me reeling. On top of that, I was diagnosed with PPD and everything I thought I knew about what an active life looked like was turned on its head in those newborn days. I realized I needed a new definition of health from the inside out — and today I like to call that my triple threat triangle. (Mind, body, and soul!)

For starters, there are so many aspects to living a truly healthy, balanced, joy-filled life than just being active and counting calories! (I know, shocker, right?)

I don’t have a perfect life that’s all figured out, but I have learned that the little things are actually the big things.
