Mental toughness is an interesting beast. Some people train it daily—using it to endure more than they ever thought possible. Others don’t fully understand what it is or how much it can support us in everyday life.

Becoming self-aware is a process—a gradual shift in how we live and present ourselves. It’s not a means to an end or a destination. It’s a state of being. Once we begin to understand that, we realize awareness isn’t something we arrive at; it’s something we practice every day. It’s about maximizing our experience, potential, and presence in every moment.

After making a major shift in my professional life, I realized something significant: when one part of your life changes, everything changes. The way you see yourself, your priorities, even your sense of purpose.

We only get one life. No replays. No do-overs. And if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that our health and wellness—not just physical but mental, emotional, and spiritual—determine how fully we get to live it.

I realized I needed a nighttime routine that wasn’t about the clock—it was about supporting my body and mind so I could actually get a good rest. And let me tell you… It’s been a game-changer.

Today, I want to share my post-workout arsenal—the Arbonne products I rely on to fuel recovery, support my health, and boost my energy.

It’s my reminder. My daily visual check-in. When I look in the bathroom mirror and see her—me, frozen in that moment—I remember exactly who I was when I chose to do it.

I was constantly trying to figure out who I was within my group. What my role was and who I was supposed to be to fulfill my role.

When navigating personal growth, people often wonder: Should I seek therapy, or would life coaching be a better fit for me? The answer depends on where you stand, what you need, and how you want to move forward.
