Helping women find balance in the mess — no guilt, no extremes, no BS. I felt like all I was was mom, housekeeper and chef.....there was no fulfillment for me.
First and foremost, I'm a wife to a wonderful man, we have twin girls and they are the reason I do what I do! After suffering from postpartum depression and the monotony of washing 16 bottles a day and changing as many diapers, keeping up with the house, cooking, cleaning, etc, I lost myself as a woman. I slowly climbed my way out through exercise-it became my outlet. I did all the things and most of them, wrong. I was your typical cardio queen, all or nothing mentality person. It worked, for a while. You can only do that for so long, trust me. Longggg story short, I went after my personal training certification and a few years in, started my own business. I have been training clients out of my home gym for years now and love it! Since completing my personal training cert, I have gone on to claim many more. I am also a Corrective Exercise Specialist...think rehab. I love helping people come back from surgeries or injuries and having them leave here better than they came in. My main focus (and my favorite if I'm being honest-which you will always get w/me.) is my Health Coaching practice. I trained many many clients over the years but always felt something was missing. My clients would do so well as long as they stuck w/their workouts and ate what I told them. Invariably, life would happen, holidays came, weekends, etc and they would fall off the wagon I knew something was missing. It's the mental aspect of improving your health.....we don't realize what an important role it plays. If we don't change our daily habits and get to the root of our issues, nothing will change. I love digging in with my clients and helping them figure out why they do the things they do (defaulting to crap food, bingeing on the weekends and other forms of self sabotage). The awesome thing is, there is no diet or meal plan or crazy scary changes that have to be made. We can make these changes through teeny tiny little changes in our day to day habits that eventually lead to a healthier lifestyle-no more dieting or starting over! If that's something you struggle with, let's have a convo. Seriously, I'll be the first person to tell you if I think you'd be better suited elsewhere.

READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!
This is IDEAL.
Do you need to do all these things tomorrow? I mean, if we could all flip a switch and magically change habits, we would but that's not reality.
Let's meet where you're at, okay? What is ONE area on this list that is calling for attention?
This is how I coach my clients. Pick ONE thing, hell, pick the easiest thing and start there.
And no, that doesn't mean that tomorrow you're magically going to eat 20-30g of protein every meal. But it's a starting point. This is where we start to pull back the layers (your schedule, do you like to cook, do we need to look at a meal prep service, do you only eat out, etc). We have to figure out where you're at right now and what little changes we can make. And trust, that doesn't include me giving you a meal plan to suddenly adhere to. That's a recipe (pun intended) for disaster.
Maybe you get 1k steps a day. Cool. What can we do to get you to an extra 500-1,000 this week?
I could fill this with examples but I know you get what I'm saying.
Bottom line, if you're looking to improve your health (no need to wait til the new year either), I got you. Let's do it together, one step at a time.

Sound familiar?
And then I'd make that promise to myself: "Monday. I'll start fresh Monday and THIS time I'll stick with it."
And I did start.
Every. Single. Monday.
But here's what I finally figured out: the mindless snacking didn't stop until I understood the why behind it.
For me? I was avoiding my feelings.
Upset? Pantry. Mad? Pantry. Sad or hurt? Straight to the pantry like I was on autopilot. It seemed crazy at the time—why was I doing this to myself?
Now I know.
I was chasing that instant hit of relief that food gave me. That temporary happiness that let me push down the uncomfortable stuff. For a few minutes, I didn't have to deal with what I was actually feeling.
Awareness changes everything. (Yes, you've probably heard me say this before. It's that important.)
The path forward looks different for everyone.
Maybe snacking isn't your thing—maybe you're a chronic procrastinator, a people pleaser, or something else entirely.
We all have patterns that hold us back. That's exactly why cookie-cutter approaches don't work when it comes to your health.
Your struggles are unique. Your solution should be too.
Ever feel like you're that hamster on a wheel with your health—diet, exercise, lifestyle—running hard but getting nowhere?

Where are my GLP-1 users? This post is for you!
Don't let this be you unless you want to be worse off than when you started.
Everyone needs to strength train at some capacity, especially if you're using a GLP-1 on your journey. Being skinny fat should NOT be your goal.
Muscle is vital for longevity and good health.
No, you don't need to go all hard core with Crossfit style workouts either but you do need to do some form of strength training, mmmkay?
What does that look like for you? IDK but I'm happy to help you figure that out.

For the hours I have regained since my girls got their licenses 😆

Before you dive in — please remember: you do not have to master all of these at once.
The magic happens in the baby steps.
Pick one thing to focus on and build from there.
Here’s your reminder list (in no particular order):
1️⃣ Prioritize protein with every meal
2️⃣ Give yourself grace
3️⃣ Ditch the all-or-nothing mindset
4️⃣ Make sleep a priority
5️⃣ Strength train 2–3x per week
6️⃣ Hydrate for your body’s needs
7️⃣ Stop rushing the process
8️⃣ Move your body often — walk, stretch, take the stairs, stand more
9️⃣ Reduce stress where you can
Some of these will come easier than others, and that’s okay.
Every piece matters.
These habits might not show up on the scale right away, but over time, they compound — leading to a stronger, healthier, happier version of you. 💪

Today's ⬇⬇⬇
We all have those days where we just don't wanna....present company included.
Here's a rule/practice I've created for myself (and if the word 'rule' freaks you out or makes you feel restricted then call it whatever you want) for those days.
If I truly have no valid reason to not workout then I commit to 10 minutes of SOMETHING. If after 10 minutes I'm still not feeling it, I stop. That's it.
Generally, once I get going I'm fine and continue on with my workout. I would say maybe 5ish times since implementing this rule have I stopped at 10 minutes. And those times I stopped, I felt no guilt because I did something for 10 minutes. I prioritized myself and got some form of movement in but my body for whatever reason was like 'not today sister' and I listened. 😉
How about you? What do you do on those days you just don't wanna?

Let’s be real — stepping on the scale after Halloween weekend or a night of “living life” can mess with your head. You see it jump up a couple pounds and immediately think you’ve ruined your progress.
You didn’t.
You did not gain 2 lbs of fat overnight. You’d have to overeat by about 7,000 calories for that to happen. Btw-that's
What’s really going on? Your body’s just holding onto more water — especially if you had extra carbs, salt, or a bigger meal than usual.
So here’s what you actually need to do:
💧 Drink your water
🚶♀️ Move your body
🍳 Get back to your normal meals
That’s it. No crash diet, no “detox,” no punishment workouts. Just get back into rhythm and let your body level out.
This journey isn’t about perfection — it’s about learning to stay consistent when life (and the scale) fluctuate. You’re good. Keep going. 💪

THIS.IS.FREEDOM.
If you've been chasing that feeling...I get it.
I get it because it was me. Eating the same thing day in and day out because it 'fit.' Reading all the menus and calorie counts before going out to eat so I could 'stay in range.'
Never skipping a workout regardless of illness or injury.
Doing a 'reset' after vacay.
Listen. This comes from a place of love when I say this:
That is NOT healthy living. It's neurotic. It's disordered eating. It's lack of self esteem.
And it doesn't have to be this way.
Hit that DM button and let's talk.
No judgement. Only compassion, comradery, some tears and hopefully laughs along the way.

Hi! Welcome to Hope & Faith Fitness, home of Relentless Training. First and foremost, I’m a Christ follower, wife, twin mom, personal trainer, fitness nutrition coach, self professed neat freak, who enjoys working out, lots of sarcasm, has a bit of a mouth but loves Jesus andddddd eating all the food and educating and inspiring others to become the best version of themselves! I’m so glad you’re here!
My goal is to continually improve my level of health & fitness through proper nutrition and hard work and to inspire my friends, family and others along the way. There is no magic pill or diet that is going to get you there. I wish!! Making & committing to a lifestyle change is the ONLY way to get there. I want to be around a long time and after watching my grandparents health deteriorate rapidly over their final years due to lack of activity and unhealthy eating habits (which lead to Diabetes and numerous other health issues) I REFUSE to put my children and future grandchildren through that. Childhood obesity is disgustingly rampant today and we have no one to blame but ourselves. I run my own business, am a wife and mom of beautiful, busy twin girls, maintain a household and so on, so can YOU. We make time for what matters to us.
Beachbody (at home workout programs) ignited my passion for helping others. I went on and became a Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Fitness Nutrition Coach and a few other specialties...suffice it to say, I’ve got you covered. ;-) I now run a successful in home training business and am able to offer at home programs for those who are not local. It's the best of both worlds!
Bottom line, I want to be around a long time and I don't want to burden my children with preventable health issues when I'm old. I want to be a positive role model to my girls. And I'm no where near perfect; I still love me some pizza and ice cream! Blue Bell Banana Pudding is to die for!! I just don't eat the whole pint in one sitting anymore. :) My pants thank me for that. ;-) I believe in living a balanced lifestyle; one of moderation, not deprivation.
I'd love to answer any questions you may have or just be here to support you on your journey to a healthier, happier YOU! It doesn't matter if you purchase a program or train in-person with me, I want YOU to be healthier and if I can support you in any way, shape or form then my goal with this page is serving its purpose.
