*After reading the title of this post, it’s safe to assume that this won’t be an easy read. It wasn’t easy to write. Miscarriage can be a controversial topic. It can create an emotional upheaval. Especially if you have been through it before. If you feel that this topic is too much for you, pleaseContinue reading “What I Learned From My Miscarriage”

Stop. Listen.
2020: The year that was supposed to bring us 2020 vision and prosperity. Not so much, right? I’ve seen many people say “2020 is cancelled. See you next year”. Stop. Listen. 2020 is NOT cancelled. 2020 is the year that shook us. 2020 is the year that woke us up. 2020 is the year thatContinue reading “Stop. Listen.”
A Sober Quarantine
I have written this post probably 7 times over the last couple of weeks. The last thing that I want is to come across as pretentious or “Holier Than Though”. So, I will start by saying that this based on my experience, my mental and emotional health, and my perspective. I have been sober forContinue reading “A Sober Quarantine”
(Un)Clear Perspective
A few years ago, in our first house, the dishwasher flooded the kitchen. It was Black Friday and Ryan and I woke up to water everywhere. Our custom stained, red oak floors were ruined. The repairs took 3 months. We were devastated. Friday night, the kitchen sink somehow got clogged and overflowed into the kitchen.Continue reading “(Un)Clear Perspective”
Unity in the Trenches
The last few weeks have exhausted me to my core. We don’t get sick often but when we do, it’s bad. Riley was the first to get sick, then me, the Ryan. On top of that, Riley is now an independent, strong willed toddler who thinks it’s appropriate to run around naked, peeing on everythingContinue reading “Unity in the Trenches”
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Remember New Year’s Eve, when we all said that 2020 would our year? When we were so excited about the promises and opportunities that a new year brings? Yeah. Me too. Although, it is not manifesting the way that I thought it would be. It is funny how we plan, wish, hope, and pray forContinue reading “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes”
Balance in the Chaos
Honesty and vulnerability are things that I crave, so here goes… This week was rough and chaotic. Our family schedule was normal. Nothing crazy happened, but I felt chaotic. I felt out of sorts. I felt unbalanced. I did not meditate. I was not consistent with my workouts. I ate foods that made me feelContinue reading “Balance in the Chaos”
What is “Healthy” Anyway?
Google (yes, I googled it) defines “healthy” as “indicative of, conducive to, or promoting good health”. Basically, healthy is anything that aids in your health. That being said, why do we follow the non-sense that media promotes about health, when there is little to no science to back it up? Why are we constantly onContinue reading “What is “Healthy” Anyway?”
Who I Am & Why I Am Here
Hi, I’m Rachel. A Wife. A Mother. A Fitness Enthusiast. A Yogi. A Dreamer. A Realist. I could go on. Needless to say, I wear many hats, just like you. I have been wanting to start this blog for a long time. I mean, a really long time. And for years I put it offContinue reading “Who I Am & Why I Am Here”
