“Just One More…🥂”

Normally, that’s what I would be thinking about cookies, maybe a glass of wine, and definitely handfuls of cashews!

But not this month.

This month, it seems to be what Breanne and I are saying to 30-day challenges!

Yesterday we were joking (well, maybe half-joking)… can we fit in just one more?!

Don’t worry, Brett & Sennad, we know the answer is NO!

GRIT – Whole30 – OneFunnelAway… all with our StoryAthlete teammates.

Daily workouts and writing, eating wholesome foods and learning how to market and offer our services to those we hope to positively impact.

There’s something so special and motivating about being surrounded by a community of people who are always looking to improve themselves.

To improve across all dimensions.
Mind. Body. Business. Relationships.

To really improve what they are putting out into this world and how they impact the lives of those around them.

There’s magic in being surrounded by a group of people who choose to evolve, rather than just stay put.

I’m constantly surprised by what I’m capable of when partnered with Breanne and surrounded by all of our teammates.

And what we are capable of together is unstoppable!

🥂 Here’s to a month full of 30-day challenges! 🥂

-> To cramming in workouts between baby feedings and bedtimes.

-> To trying new recipes as we discover that EVERYTHING has sugar in it!

-> To googling acronyms we’ve never heard of, following tech directions that make no sense but we do the steps anyway, and to creating our first service offering.

🥂 Here’s to continuing to evolve and becoming the women we are capable of being. 🥂

I can’t wait to experience this journey and to see what’s on the other side.

"Learning to Crawl..."

  Shared by Kristina Smedley Kaden has been blowing our minds with his persistence in learning how to crawl. I don’t know why this is surprising. For some reason, I expected that babies just crawled… not that I would see his very visible effort into actually learning and practicing how to crawl. #newmom ;-)   About two weeks ago, he started getting further up on his hands. And started a little rocking back and forth. Then slowly we saw a knee pop-under him.   Then a little lat pull-down type action to use his arms to lunge himself forward. Then all in about 24 hours he was army crawling, then getting his legs into it, and then suddenly he was coordinated and crawling around. I loved watching him figure this out.   And watching him struggle a little with something until he got the next piece down, and the next, and the next. And honestly, Kaden has been a great reminder to me that I too have to learn to crawl first, before I can walk and eventually run. And even ‘crawling' isn't

“Streaks…”

  Shared by Breanne Smedley Spend time around high schoolers and you’re sure to hear the word, “streaks.” More specifically, phrases along the lines of: “I gotta keep my streaks.” Or, “We broke our 100-day streak yesterday!” If you don’t hang out with high school-aged people every day, let me fill you in. “Streaks” refer to the ongoing exchange of photos/messages between two people on SnapChat. If a friend and I snap chat with each other for two days in a row, we have a two-day streak. Three days in a row, a three-day streak. Five days, a five-day streak. And so on until one person breaks it ad the streak has to start back over. Kids get a little neurotic about their streaks. I overheard a student talking about how she gave her SnapChat login information to a friend so that she could “keep her streaks” while on vacation without cell service. That’s commitment and problem-solving at it’s finest right there. While sometimes I don’t get it (because apparently I’m old and I haven’t even re

“Exhausted vs Inspiring…”

  Shared by Kristina Smedley “Exhausted vs Inspiring…” I have noticed two pretty distinct responses from others when I share what’s going on in my life right now. “Wow, that is inspiring!” -OR- “Ugg, you must be exhausted!” It seems that they’ve either had the experience of following their dreams and understand the commitment, hard work, and pure energy gained on the journey… whatever their personal journey might be. Or they’ve sat back in life, thinking it would just be too hard or not possible. We all run into this choice at one point or another. I’ve definitely had those moments where I didn’t go for it. And I remember feeling sluggish, uninspired… exhausted. This is the exact opposite of what life is like when stepping into, what we call, our ImpactZone™. Here, there’s unlimited energy as our passions are discovered and acted on. Where are our skills and abilities are utilized and further developed. Where we have a deep and meaningful purpose. Here, life is exciting, challenging, a
