I recently caught my mind absolutely racing with so much information and decisions that I was in a complete mental fluster. I was struggling to concentrate or focus on just one of the thoughts at a time. I could feel my heart rate increase and my breathing get shallower. It can feel like it's going... Continue Reading →
Project Lion Mind: 12 months of challenges
I touched on it a few entries ago, but I wanted to take the time to expand on my Project Lion Mind plan. I am someone who thrives on challenges. I really love the process of having to rise and do things that I think I can’t do. I didn’t challenge myself enough in... Continue Reading →

I believe so deeply in the power of the mind and how, if we can increase our self awareness and then start to build resilience and grit then we... Continue Reading →
Pursue your potential!
Pursue your potential! Our motto. It took us a long time and a few iterations to settle on one that would actually stick. Finally, we found the right one...or maybe it found us?

Calm in the Chaos

Nutritional Leadership
I've noticed recently how much of our nutrition habits are our children's nutrition habits. As my eating habits have become a little lazy lately, there has been a direct rise in certain food types that Piper regularly asks for..... hello chocolate, ice cream and 'tella.
