Long term, healthy, weight loss.
The Power of Purpose: Why Knowing Your "Why" is Essential for Entrepreneurs
Your "why" is the center around which every business decision, big or small, revolves. It's the reason customers will resonate with your brand and employees will come to work with you. When you know your purpose, others will see it too!
Barreling forward without a clear "why" is akin to setting sail without a destination. You may drift aimlessly, responding to the tides of market trends, winds of competitor moves, or your feelings in the moment. While these factors hold significance, they should not be the primary guidance system for you.
The Search for Significance
If you struggle with knowing who you are, or suffer from limiting, negative, or anxious thoughts. I want to encourage you to read this book The Search for Significance by Robert McGee. My hope and prayer is that you can begin to live a life of freedom, fulfillment, and meaning when you discover your true worth through God’s eyes.

The Highly Sensitive Person Theory
On my journey to self-awareness and personal development, I went on to learn about the common experiences of the Highly Sensitive Person (15-20% of the population) or what is scientifically known as the Sensory Processing Sensitivity trait. This normal trait describes people with increased sensitivities physically, emotionally and/or socially. Strengths include empathy, observation skills, intuition, and creativity. Challenges include feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, avoiding conflict, and over thinking.
Fostering Gratitude: A New Year, A New Opportunity
Life, I believe, is an intentional set of choices.

Personal development, in essence, is a lifelong commitment to nurturing emotional intelligence, exercising personal leadership, and consistently making wise choices. One of the wisest choices I believe you can make is to foster gratitude every single day. . .

PT vs PTA: Understanding the Difference
Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) both play a vital role in the wellness improvement of all patients. Both can treat patients from infants to older adults for injuries, disabilities, post-surgical procedures, prevention, or other health related conditions. PTAs provide care under the direction and supervision of a PT who establishes a plan of care for the patient. PTAs implement interventions for patient care, collect data related to treatments provided, and collaborate with the PT to modify and carry out care as necessary.
Music to Get Through Your Day

So many replied so I wanted to put together a TRWC playlist for you to use as well!

Lindsay’s Eating Disorder Story: Grief Can Coexist with Joy
Addiction and bondage to anything only provide a false sense of control that keeps a person on a hamster wheel of misery…but sometimes, it still feels safer than the alternative. Lies become truth, and the mind, heart, and body pay the price. I eventually reached out for help, but the road has been long and bumpy. I have wanted to give up more times than I can count, but God’s great love kept pulling me in, never letting me go.
Stepping Forward Despite Anxiety
Do you sense God’s leading in some direction, but fear or doubt are holding you back? While avoidance can give us a temporary sense of relief, taking a step toward the very thing we fear can be empowering! As we look toward the new year, let’s reflect on those things that might be holding us back from taking those steps we’ve been avoiding, and instead, commit to taking a step of faith, and walking into a life of fullness, blessings, and peace.
Developing a Positive Mindset in Life
In my experience, negative responses are simply the easiest responses because they require neither intentional thought nor self-discipline. So, if we want our gut responses to be more positive and beneficial, we have to be intentional about building the mindset needed to pull it off. The mind has to be trained. Practice the Pause: We don’t always have to respond right away. Sometimes even just a few seconds is enough for us to choose our responses.
Having an Open Heart
Open Heart
When we see that in our life, we have received far more than what we deserve or are capable of, then gratitude draws in us. We become thankful, complaints disappear and abundance grows. Gratitude is a habit and a gesture of the heart, so to compliment this theme, classes will be building toward “heart opening” poses. We will be building strength in our backs in order to support the process of opening our hearts and breathing into that space that is often protected.
