My Sister, the Ovarian Cancer Warrior
At the most difficult time in her life, Amanda tapped into an inner strength that we all now know as #Amandastrong. She publicly shared her journey with the world, touching the lives of thousands of people, in hopes to advocate for women like her who were diagnosed too late. Amanda wanted every woman to know there is no screening method for Ovarian cancer like there is for breast or even cervical cancer. Because of this, and because the symptoms can be vague, ovarian cancer is often referred to as the silent killer.

Yoga Is for Everyone, Yes Even You!
Yoga is more than a practice done on a mat. Yoga is a mindset. It is a way of life. Of course the physical practice of yoga is a large part of creating that mental awareness, but it is so much more than only the physical benefits that happen during and even after a yoga session. If you are unsure if yoga is for you, let me assure you — it is exactly what everyone needs. In this hectic world, we all need a moment of connection and calm.

Yes, I Still Eat Chips
Reaching fitness goals does not mean 100% deprivation of all foods and drinks that are considered a “treat.” In my opinion, the number one reason people often fail at dieting is picking a “diet” that doesn’t actually fit their lifestyle. Sure, for the first month of a new fad diet you are certainly going to see results.

But, yes, I still eat chips. Get yourself out of the mindset of dieting. Dieting often refers…

Our bodies, moods, and schedules change.
