Last week I got invited to speak on a #5G industry

Last week I got invited to speak on a #5G industry panel at #mwcla with some best in the business. I struggled with feeling like an #imposter all week. #impostersyndrome

I sat down with my boss (who is THE best) to chat about the panel and he said to me ‘you’ve earned your spot, you deserve to be up there.’

He’s right. I wouldn’t have been asked if I didn’t deserve the spot. Sometimes we need those words of affirmation and I’m lucky to work for someone who supports me.

So in 1.5 weeks I’m heading to #LA spam me all your pandemic #traveltips ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #womenintech #workingmom #sidehustle

Two years before I had Michelle in Fall 2015 I had

Two years before I had Michelle in Fall 2015 I had a #miscarriage at 11 weeks pregnant, after my miscarriage I could not get pregnant again and struggled with #infertility.

Then I had my crash in August 2016. My pelvis was crushed into all my organs, including my uterus. I was told that a viable pregnancy was unlikely.

In January 2017 after I was ‘healed’ I went in for my final pelvic X-ray and was told I couldn’t be X-rayed because I was pregnant. I think I looked something like this when they told me: 😳

I didn’t tell anyone, I was terrified it wouldn’t be viable. Then once it seemed viable, I was told I would need tons of extra care. I didn’t need any extra care. I had a extremely uneventful pregnancy and 42! weeks later Michelle made her grand entrance.

So here’s two of my favorite people:

#SkinnyJeans ➡️ #HealthyLiving

#TipThursday ✨8 Things you should give up TODAY:

1️⃣ #NegativeThoughts
2️⃣ #SelfDoubt
3️⃣ Fear of Failure
4️⃣ Comparing yourself to others
5️⃣ Criticizing others
6️⃣ Procrastination
7️⃣ Fear of Change
8️⃣ #PeoplePleasing

I used to think it was normal for a woman to pick herself apart in the mirror. It didn't matter if I was under weight or over weight I was NEVER happy with the reflection.

That was until I got healthy the RIGHT way and realized how amazing my body could be if I treated it right.

It started as a quest for skinny jeans but after being healthy saved my life after my crash, it’s become so much more. I’m not at my lowest weight but I am strong, healthy and happy.

Are you ready to make that mental shift from skinny jeans to healthy life?

Still a few spots left for #freshstart FALL 🍁

Michelle and I had the hardest time #breastfeeding

Michelle and I had the hardest time #breastfeeding . She could not draw the the kid was HUNGRY.

So I started #exclusivelypumping. At 6 weeks she was diagnosed with a #liptie and #tonguetie, which she had fixed but she was so used to a bottle at that point. For 6 months I pumped 7-9x a day. It worked for us.

When I wanted to finish up, I could not find a formula that wasn’t loaded with corn syrup. I started to dig in and found that European formulas actually had more of the ingredients I was looking for, so I started importing it. And the directions were not in English so google translate became my BFF 🤣

I literally did everything ‘wrong’… #csection, #exclusivelypump , #workingMom

Remember, what is right for everyone is not always right for you. Sometimes it takes courage to go against the grain but in the end, you will be much happier.

Here we are, still making the choices that are best for us.

Excuse me while I go cry in a corner 😭

For the past {almost} 4 years Michelle has been in home daycare. It has been the absolute best decision for her.

I’m a big believer that young children need to play first and learning is part of the process but a formal school setting isn’t needed at such a young age. We loved having her with kids of different ages, in a very small group and in a loving home.

We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have had two amazing providers who have helped Michelle grow into the kind, compassionate and quite frankly, hilarious tiny human she is.

As I dropped her off this morning I fought back tears. I just feel so lucky.

We head to pre-K next and I know it’s time but MAN this time has been nothing short of spectacular. #prek #bostonmom

How many of y’all did I trigger wearing this shirt ONE DAY before September?!

Do you want until September 1st to break out the 🎃 or is it a round the year thing? #pumpkinspice #psl #pumpkin #pumpkincreamcoldbrew #pumpkinseason #pumpkinspicelatte

Since March 16th, 2020 there have been 360 school

Since March 16th, 2020 there have been 360 school days and Doug, Michelle and I have walked or biked to daycare.

In rain, snow, sun with very few exceptions.

Our average the round trip is 2.5 miles, which means in 360 days we…

➡️ Walked or biked 900 miles
➡️ Burned 90,000 calories, at an average 100 calories a mile
➡️ Saved over 25 gallons of gas, between our two cars average 35mpg
➡️ Spent over $75 less on gas

And most importantly started our day being outside together and clearing our heads ❤️ #getoutside #bikingadventures #bikewithoutlimits #walkingmom

There are plenty of weight loss quick fixes and ‘healthy’ fads out there.

I can’t offer you one of them.

I am passionate about what I do because it worked when I first started in 2014 and it still works now, nearly 7 years later.

I won’t tell you that you’ll lose 5 pounds a week, 30 pounds in a month or that you will look like Gisele by Halloween. But I will help you create a sustainable + healthy lifestyle and plug you into the most supportive community I know.

I will not only teach you how to workout and eat well, but I will teach you WHY and that’s the missing link. Understanding what your body needs to feel your best makes me so much more sustainable than ‘eat this’ and ‘do that’.

And if you fall off track? No worries, I got you, my job is to help you overcome the mental barrier to getting back on track because our WHY is so much bigger than what’s holding us back❤️

What’s my why? I’m holding it.

I have 3 spots left for August, you in? #bostonfit

Yesterday marked 5 years since my life changed for

Yesterday marked 5 years since my life changed forever.
August 10th, 2016 I made a {seemingly small} decision to walk my dog early in the morning. It was going to be extremely hot I wanted to make sure I got a walk in. I was about 5 mins from home, crossing my last crosswalk and I was hit at 40mph by a distracted driver. I don't remember anything.
I was taken to level 1 trauma center where I had an emergency brain surgery to save my life. I also shattered my face, sternum, pelvis and sacrum and had multiple surgeries to little piece me back together. The chances of survival for a crash like I had are about 1/10, the chances of me sitting here writing this post are close to non-existent.
I spent a week in the ICU, a month in the hospital and 3 months completely wheelchair bound. I remember thinking to myself that I had two choices: I could fight to get my life back or I could accept this was how it was going to be. In that moment, everything changed and I decided I would not let me crash define me.
If you have met me, you probably have no idea although I struggle with the effects of #chronicinjury and a #traumaticbraininjury. I don't look different, I don't even limp. My #TBI makes it harder for me to remember things so I write everything down, most people just think I am super organized 😉 I am extremely lucky and have made it my mission to turn my #MESSintomyMESSAGE.
On my road to recovery, I met so many amazing people and got connect with Safe Roads Alliance that was fighting to pass the Hands Free Bill in MA so you could no longer hold your cell phone while you drove. In November 2019, I got to be there as Governor Baker signed the law into effect. But sadly, even 1.5 years after the law passed, we haven't seen the reduction in crashes we would have hoped to see.
What happened to me is terrible but I’m incredibly grateful that I can continue to make an impact.
Two friendly reminders for you:
1. Pay attention when you drive. Put down the cell phone, makeup etc. and just drive.
2. Whatever you are going through, keep going. Some days you may conquer the world and other days you may barely get out of bed. The key is to not quit even on the hardest days.

It’s no secret that I’ve been committed to fitness for many years. But I’m human and I get bored and don’t love every single program, but this one is 🔥

It’s heavy lifting, the stretching and the only having a tiny bit of cardio for me. #dontsignmeupforcardio

I feel insanely strong and have none of the normal pains I have from all my injuries. Added bonus: I’m losing inches!

This is 2! weeks progress and really there is no better way to measure than with a pair of pants because we all know the scale doesn’t always tell the truth 😉

Jeans are Mimsey and they are as comfortable as they are cute.
