If clearer skin, great digestion, more energy, reduced bloating, and a better mood sounds good to you, you're going to want to try my new favorite detox morning drink. If you know me, you know I'm always on the lookout for ways to feel like my healthiest, happiest self as a mom of 4 on the go. And after years of research and trial and error, I've found a new recipe below that I genuinely look forward drinking every morning that provides the amazing benefits I've listed abov

I love stocking our fridge and pantry for the week(s) ahead in a way that supports our family's busy lifestyle. From soccer practices, homeschooling, to meal prepping--our days are full--so my goal in my food hauls is to ensure we have quality ingredients to support our active lifestyle. I keep the majority of our food in heavy rotation because it reduces decision fatigue. I simply swap out recipes using the same ingredients. Check out a breakdown of what I shop for consist

Since becoming a mom, I've become obsessed with weight training. Pregnancy changed my body more than I anticipated (to say the least), and I was so amazed at how weight training (or strength training) had positively changed my body composition postpartum that I decided to study and became a certified trainer. Most women think weight training will make them look bulky or "manly". This couldn't be further from the truth. Weight training does help us aesthetically, sure, but di

If you've fallen off the bandwagon in terms of your fitness goals as a busy mom, chances are you are not lazy--you may just be overwhelmed, overstimulated, or burned out. I've had the privilege to work with hundreds of moms one on one as a certified trainer and I love when I see the process evolve from "I don't know where to start!" into seeing clients thriving in their fitness routine. So if you are struggling to have motivation right now in your fitness and health as a bus

Most moms don't think they have time to get a good workout in because, duh --we're all busy . As a homeschooling mom of 4 who also works from home, I can relate. Working out sometimes feels like a luxury we afford ourselves when dishes need to be washed, homework needs to be checked, and diapers need to be changed. But I'm not going for it. I refuse to let my fitness goals go as a busy mom because there are just too many benefits associated with leading an active lifestyle.

Affirmations are powerful ways to influence your mind to behave in ways that help you become your best, most healthy, happy self. Many of us were taught both covertly and overtly to doubt ourselves earlier in life. To shrink. To dim our light. I don't know about you, but I refuse to allow anyone else's perception of me shape who I am or my future. And as moms, we can still use the power of affirmations to help us continue to become our best selves, and be the best moms we ca

Achieving your fitness goals before you become a mom vs when you are carrying for another life (in my case 4 lives), are two very different feats. Before I had my first child, I was one of the most active people you knew. I'd wake up at 5:00 AM rain, sleet or snow and do my morning jog for cardio (and sanity), then weight train at the gym after work and school for an hour (at least), and dance on stages professionally in between. It was fun! But as a woman who now (gratefully

My before and after photo of me 9 months pregnant to 6 months postpartum shows the physical changes I was able to make with my Moms Wear Heels home workouts. What many don't see in this photo is the behind the scenes nitty-gritty that made getting strong after pregnancy possible for me. As a certified trainer for women, I can assure you that transforming your body after pregnancy is no easy feat. There are many days no one was watching that I had to sacrifice, sleep, Netfl

For the past couple of years, I've been focused on growing my glutes at home. Many think that you need a gym, fancy equipment, or lots of time to grow your lower half, but that's simply not the case. As a busy homeschooling mom of 4, I've been able to add 10 pounds to my glutes/legs area primarily at home. This has inspired me to continue the tips I'm sharing with you below.
