This Super Fit #GirlBoss Is All The MidWeek Motivation You Need
When I sat down to think about May’s Living Kindly column, I knew I wanted to focus on someone that lights me up and inspires me with their tenacity and drive.

A Gear Editor Reveals Her Favorite Fitness Must-Haves
Molly Ritterbeck and I met a few years back while riding bikes in the Texas Hill Country during a Rapha Cycling Ambassador training camp and immediately hit it off. I’d love to say we bonded because of our shared love of bikes, but it was her affinity for a good dry shampoo and nail art […]
How a Pro Athlete Really Eats to Stay in Shape
photo from sassy kitchen As a cyclist who used to ride 50-100 miles every weekend, I know first-hand that how you fuel on and off the bike is key to performance and recovery. However, in the past year, I’ve swapped those weekend rides for lots of travel, filled with important meetings, speaking opportunities, and shorter […]
Do You Have A Food Hang-Up and What to Do About It
For as long as I can remember — at least since grade school — I’ve struggled with my weight. I deleted that sentence at least seven times and almost left it out completely, but I’m confident many of you can relate. It’s an embarrassing confession, and it’s filled with a lot of shame and bad […]
The Unexpected Thing I Learned From Doing a 5-Day Detox
How does that saying go, “You plan, God laughs?” This piece was supposed to be about my wonderful experience with a 5-day detox.

8 Natural Beauty Products You Need In Your Life Right Now
I’ve been on a natural beauty product kick after attending a non-toxic skincare event last month, where I learned that many of the products I own and use on a regular basis are loaded with synthetics. Now, I’m not trying to overhaul my entire beauty collection at once and immediately toss the hundreds of dollars […]
10 Tastemakers Define Wellness (And It’s Not What You Think)
I’ve been thinking a lot about the wellness industry lately — specifically as it relates to what we see on social media and in marketing — this idealized, almost utopian lifestyle for a specific (elite) demographic. You know what I’m talking about, right? Images and posts suggesting you must attend a $30 workout class 5x/week, […]
How To Build A Morning Routine
Living kindly. Let’s talk about this for a second. I get asked quite a bit, What does living kindly mean? And the truth is, living kindly means something different for everyone. When I started this column two years ago, the focus was sharing my weight loss story, and how I made a pact to be […]
If You’re Thinking About Trying Whole30, Read This First
image from cali vintage When my sister asked if I wanted to do Whole30 with her this past August, my knee-jerk reaction was “No way, not another diet!” While I’m still figuring out what works best for me nutritionally — it changes daily based on what my body needs — I am 100% confident that […]
Face Your Fears in The New Year with This Life-changing Mantra
The year is wrapping up and I think I speak for a lot of you when I say, oh boy, what a year it has been. For me, it was filled with a lot of change, growth, unexpected adventures, hard conversations, many hours of reflection, and lots of time spent outside of my comfort zone […]
Are You Choosing the Right Friends?
Last April I started to feel really disconnected from my healthy lifestyle. You know those days (or even weeks) when everything just feels off and you can’t pinpoint why? It was weird. I wasn’t looking forward to my beloved morning workouts — they felt more like a chore than something that would make me feel […]
This One Word Will Change Your Outlook on Life
I have to start this post by saying that I love when I learn something new that totally changes my perspective — and it’s usually the simplest ideas that do the trick. I speak from the heart when I say that while I preach about Living Kindly, I am often the first person that needs […]
