I am being very honest when I say that I was blindsided by my husband’s arrest in 2016. However, I also have to admit that we had a long and complicated history, and so there were things I knew about him that made the events of that spring more likely. [Read more…]
It takes some bravery to reach out for help, whether for yourself or your team. It can be scary to open yourself up, both to share how you feel about what’s happening in your office, and to hear what others have to say about it. So usually by the time organizations reach out to us to do a team assessment, there are a few things that are really not working.

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday! Josie, Jadyn and I are chillin’ out and loving the relaxed pace of vacation.
As I get ready to record my last Thoughtfully Fit Thursday of the year, I decided to take a look back at where we’ve been in 2018. I absolutely love having the opportunity to share with you on a weekly basis, and I hope that you’ve seen or read something that made a difference for you.
Below you’ll find a list of our top five posts and videos from the past year, just in case you missed them.
If you have topics you’d like me to talk about in 2019, I’d love to hear from you!
I am looking forward to another year filled with great content, embarrassing stories, and more learning (for both you and me). See you next year!
