I've been thinking a lot lately about confidence in teenagers and young adults.

We often talk about this generation as if they are struggling more than we did, but honestly, I don't know if that's true. I know that when I was young, I had very little confidence. Looking back at old pictures, I see a beautiful, capable, kind young woman with her whole life ahead of her.

The funny thing is, that's not who I thought I was. It’s really not so funny!

I was insecure. I was angry. I was often mean. I drank too much. I had almost no personal boundaries and spent far too much time looking for validation in all the wrong places. I was constantly comparing myself to others and never measuring up in my own mind.

Now, with the wisdom that only comes from age, I can see that my self-image and reality were two very very different things.

I also wonder how much of it was hormones. We expect teenagers to navigate massive physical, emotional, and mental changes while trying to figure out who they are. Their brains are still developing. Their bodies are changing. Their emotions can feel overwhelming. Add social media to the mix, where everyone else's life appears perfect, and it's no wonder so many young people struggle with confidence.

So how do we help today's kids get through it better than we did?

I don't think the answer is telling them they're perfect. I think it's teaching them their worth isn't tied to their appearance, popularity, achievements, or mistakes.

It's reminding them that failure is part of growth.

It's helping them build resilience instead of perfection.

It's showing them that they are loved even on the days they don't feel lovable.

For me, faith has played a huge role in understanding my own value. God saw worth in me long before I could see it in myself. He loved me through my mistakes, my bad choices, my anger, and all the times I couldn't recognize who I was created to be.

I don't have all the answers, but I do know this: our young people need more encouragement, more grace, more truth, and more people willing to remind them that they are enough. They need more practical skills, skills that help them to feel capable. Working with our hands can be helpful in quieting a busy mind.

Not because they're flawless or less than.

Because they're human.

And maybe if we can help them see themselves through God's eyes a little sooner than we did, they'll spend less time doubting themselves and more time becoming who they were meant to be. ❤️

Lately, life has had me sitting in some pretty interesting seats.

One minute I’m watching athletes step on stage at a bodybuilding competition — tanned within an inch of their lives and surviving on chicken, rice, and pure stubbornness. Honestly though, the dedication is incredible. The discipline, the commitment, the endless hours in the gym… you can’t help but respect it.

The next minute, I’m at a fundraiser for a friend facing a serious medical condition. A hardworking, young-ish man who has spent his whole life providing for his family and now suddenly can’t. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned lately, it’s this: community still matters. Watching people rally around him with generosity, support, and kindness was enough to restore your faith in humanity for a minute. ❤️

Then there’s my “new normal” — spending more time helping my parents on the farm. I was always around growing up, but not like I am now. My parents are in their 70’s and 80’s and somehow still outworking people half their age. Farmers from sunrise to long-past-sunset. Tough as nails, generous to a fault, compassionate, stubborn, hardworking… and absolutely incapable of sitting down for more than seven minutes.

They make me want to do better every single day.

Now for the plot twist…

I’ve also been fired, gossiped about, blamed for things, misunderstood, and ignored by people I never expected it from. Some accusations were exaggerated, some had a grain of truth, and some were just plain nonsense. But I’ll always own my part. I’m not perfect. Never claimed to be. I’ve made mistakes, said the wrong things, trusted the wrong people, and occasionally operated life like a squirrel on espresso.

But I’ve always wanted to do better.

Maybe getting older isn’t about having it all figured out. Maybe it’s just learning what actually matters — good people, hard work, humility, laughter, and kindness when it would be easier to be bitter.

So here’s to becoming a little wiser, a little softer, and still just scatterbrained enough to keep life interesting. ✨

Who has days that start out garbage?

Today was one of those mornings. My orange cat got out. Texts from neighbours.

Ugh…just feeling snappy.

So at this point I know I need a minute. I never knew to take a minute before! I didn’t know that it was quicker to stop, take a breather then move forward, than to rush and be crazy.
Think of something positive. Then restart with a soft and kind approach!
I am blessed to have had my life change. I am so grateful to be spending extra time with my parents. This mornings rush really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things! My son is growing up so fast! I just want to keep going back to loving where I am and living a grateful blessed life.

I’ll be honest… one of the biggest reasons I’ve been afraid to get back into lifting weights is recovery.
The sore muscles.
The stiffness.
That everything hurts feeling that can be so demotivating.
And let’s be real—mentally pushing through that is HARD.
Add to that being away from the gym for a VERY long time, being older, and way less active than I used to be… yeah, the fear was real.
Then a friend shared a product with me and simply said, “Just try it.”
So I thought—why not? If there’s something that could make recovery easier, I’m open. 🙋‍♀️
Well… I didn’t just try it.
I went back-to-back leg days. 😅
As I started reading and listening more about this product, I actually liked what I was seeing. But what surprised me even more?
As someone who is definitely not in optimal conditioning, I’m feeling way better than I expected… and it’s a gel.
So yep—I’m putting it to the test. Publicly.
If recovery has been holding you back like it has me, come along for the ride and try this with me.
DM me for more info 💬💪

I’ve been following my cleanse protocol exactly as outlined and have learned a great deal through the process.
There’s discussion around the importance of addressing heavy metals first, as parasites can bind to and retain them. That’s a valid consideration. What I can say from personal experience is that I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels, mood stability, and overall sense of well-being.
These changes have made it easier to eat nutrient-dense foods, reduce inflammatory triggers, and increase daily activity. While the visible loss of inches could be attributed directly to the cleanse, the more meaningful changes have been systemic—reduced inflammation, improved metabolic function, and better mental clarity.

It’s a holistic health approach aimed at improving internal balance, gut health, and physiological stress responses, which then supports healthier behaviors overall.

Parasitic load can place a significant burden on the body’s immune and detoxification systems. Interestingly, we are proactive about regular deworming in animals to support their health and performance—yet we rarely apply the same preventative mindset to ourselves.

Being brave doesn’t always look big and bold.
Sometimes it looks like buying the gym membership and walking through a doorway that feels way more intimidating than it should.
I’ve always trained at home.
My space.
No eyes.
No pressure.
No “am I good enough?”
No “who’s watching me?”
Today, I did it anyway.
I went. I trained.
I didn’t die.
No one mocked me.
No one cared that I’m not where I want to be yet.
And then—I saw a fine-looking lady I’ve known for about 32 years 😉
Instantly, the angst melted away.
Let’s be honest… the workout itself was mild.
The hardest part was walking through the door.
My arms and back aren’t at full power yet,
but my heart is.
I need reminders too—to do the things that scare me.
Before I even went in, I texted a friend and said:
“Tell me not to chicken out and get my ass in the gym.”
She did.
And I did.
Day 1 at the gym… check ✔️
Here’s to showing up anyway.
Here’s to courage that looks ordinary—but feels huge.
