This is my first time traveling alone with Makoa—and he’s just about to turn 3 months old. With my other kids, Luna and Osa, I started traveling around the 6-week mark. But with baby number three, life has been a bit different. I’m super grateful that my mom is meeting me in New York to help out while I’m working there.

Okay, mamas—let’s talk baby carriers! If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried a bunch, looking for the one that won’t kill your back, actually fits your partner (because sharing is caring!), and, let’s be real, looks cute too.

One of the most common questions I get after three pregnancies is: “When did you start working out postpartum?” And the truth is, it didn’t start with a workout at all—it started with deep core and pelvic floor work.

As a mom of three (including a newborn!), I know firsthand how exhausting motherhood can be. Between late-night feedings, school drop-offs, and everything in between, it's easy to feel like coffee is the only way to survive. But while caffeine might offer a quick fix, it doesn’t always leave us feeling our best in the long run.

Life with three kids and a newborn is exactly what you’d imagine—beautifully chaotic. The days are full of feedings, diaper changes, sibling squabbles, and navigating everyone’s big feelings (including our own). But through it all, we hold on to something sacred: us.

As a mom of three, I’ve been through this journey multiple times, and what’s truly made a difference is giving myself grace, honoring the body God has given me, and soaking in those precious newborn snuggles. Postpartum is a season of change, and the key is to be patient, start small, and trust that you’re already strong—now it’s just about letting your body catch up.

After experiencing a hospital birth with my first baby and a birthing center birth that didn’t quite go as planned, I finally had the home water birth I had been praying for. On New Year’s Eve, nine days earlier than expected, our sweet Makoa Felix made his grand entrance into the world—surrounded by love, a little chaos, and so much grace.

As a mom of three, I've learned a thing or two about which baby products are worth investing in. Here are my absolute favorite newborn must-haves that make life easier for both parents and baby.

Mama, I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate all the conflicting advice about exercise during pregnancy. What’s safe? What’s not? It’s a lot to sort through when you’re already dealing with so many changes! That’s why I’m here to set the record straight on three big pregnancy exercise myths that need some serious debunking.

Feeling stuck in your fitness journey? Let me tell you, finding your fitness community can be the game-changer you didn’t even know you needed. In my latest episode, I’m breaking down why having a crew—your fit fam, your accountability squad, your people—is key to staying consistent, crushing your goals, and actually loving the process.

Pregnancy is a beautiful, transformative journey, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. As a mom of two toddlers with baby #3 on the way, I’ve definitely had my share of tough days. But over these three pregnancies, I’ve also learned so much about what my body needs to feel strong, healthy, and ready to tackle whatever motherhood throws my way.

2025 is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to reset, refocus, and reignite your inner drive. One of the most powerful tools to help you stay grounded and motivated is the use of mantras. In this post, we’ll explore how to harness mantras to fuel your growth, clarify your intentions, and set the tone for an unstoppable year.

Hey there, friend! If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to start your fitness journey, let me remind you: the perfect time is now. Don’t overthink it! Starting where you are—with what you have—is more than enough. As someone who’s led workouts around the globe, written guides on strength training, and navigated life as a mom of two toddlers (yep, turning three this January!), I know it’s possible to carve out time for fitness—even in the chaos.

When it comes to fitness, most of us focus on intense workouts, strict routines, and pushing ourselves to new limits. But there’s an essential piece of the puzzle we often neglect: rest and recovery. Whether you’re training for a marathon or simply trying to stay consistent with your workouts, recovery is the foundation that helps you perform at your best.

In my latest podcast episode,, I’m sharing five of my favorite ways to embrace the outdoors, even when the weather feels less than inviting. These ideas will help you stay active, connect with nature, and bring a little more joy into your day. Let’s make the most of the great outdoors, no matter the season!

Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative experiences of life, bringing immense joy, profound responsibility, and—let’s be real—a complete shake-up to the routines we used to take for granted. One area that often feels the strain is fitness.

We’ve all been there—busy days when getting to the gym seems impossible. But just because you can’t hit the gym doesn’t mean you can’t get a solid workout at home! In fact, with just a single dumbbell, you can still build strength, boost your heart rate, and feel amazing.

Hey, Momma! I know life is full-on busy—between the kids, work, and everything else, it can feel impossible to squeeze in a moment for yourself. But let’s be real for a second: self-care is a must! It’s not just a luxury, it’s essential for showing up as the best version of YOU for your family, your job, and everyone else who needs you.

It is really wild how many snacks advertised for toddlers have so much added sugar and ingredients in them!  I try to serve the kids as many natural things as possible, but I know that is not always the easiest task!  There are always some of the obvious things, like fruit, but it’s important to vary what the kids are eating!  Making sure they are eating protein and getting calcium from things like dairy will help support their growth!

I like to say I am a “semi-crunchy” or A.K.A “scrunchy” mom. I see the value in medicine when needed but avoid it whenever possible.
