Welcome to the WEEKLY blog: A Different Way to Live Well “Dayly”

I’m so glad you are here!

I’ve spent a lot of years learning about movement, nutrition, fitness, behavior change, and what it really takes to create healthier habits. And while I love all of those things, the more I learned, the more I realized something.

Living well is about so much more than what happens in the gym or what’s on your plate.

It’s about the life you’re building around those things.

It’s about having energy to do the things you love. Feeling strong and capable in your body. Nourishing yourself without constantly feeling like you’re on a diet (hate that word). Taking care of your mental well-being. Having meaningful friendships. Trying something new. Traveling. Laughing with your friends. Meeting new friends. Taking a day off. And sometimes just sitting down with a good cup of coffee and doing absolutely nothing.

I don’t believe health should consume your life. I believe it should help you live your life.

A Different Approach to Wellness.

There is so much information out there about health and fitness. And honestly, a lot of it can feel exhausting.

Eat this. Don’t eat that.

Workout six days per week.

Get in your steps.

Cut out sugar…

And somewhere along the way, taking care of yourself can start to feel like another full-time job.

I don’t want that for myself, and I don’t want it for you either. You don’t need to be perfect to be healthy. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym. You definitely shouldn’t “diet”.

And you don’t need to put your life on hold while you’re working towards your goals.

There is room for progress and pizza. Strength training and lazy days. Healthy meals and dessert. Goals and enjoying where you are right now.

That is the kind of wellness I believe in.

So, what is the WEEKLY Blog?

It is a place where we will talk about the different pieces that make up a well-lived life.

Move.

We’ll talk about strength, fitness, exercise, recovery, and finding ways to move your body that feels good- not punished.

Nourish.

We’ll talk about nutrition in a realistic way. Protein, balanced meals, fueling your body, enjoying food with created habits that don’t make you afraid of what you eat.

Live.

We’ll talk about everything else. Mindset, relationships, community, personal growth, travel, finding balance, enjoying the little things, and creating a life you actually want to live.

Because I don’t think these things should exist in separate boxes.

They’re all connected.

And drumroll….there’s more to come.

The WEEKLY blog is also just the beginning of something I’ve been dreaming about.

The DAYLY Living is my vision for a local community where women can come together to move, learn, connect, and simply enjoy being around other women.

A workshop.

A conversation.

A guest speaker.

A lakefront walk.

A cup of coffee (iced latte, please!).

Or maybe just a place to meet someone new.

It is not about just one specific thing and you don’t have to have everything figured out.

You just have to show up.

And that is the hope for the DAYLY Living. I hope it becomes a reminder that life can be simple, enjoyable and include friends, old and new.

Here’s to Living Well

So that’s what you’ll find here at the present and future of the DAYLY living and I am so excited to share this journey with you.

Welcome to the WEEKLY blog and the future of the DAYLY Living. Let’s live well-together.
