Regardless of your “foodie” status, you’ve probably heard about bone broth. It’s the current darling of the paleo community because of its high protein content. And because of that…you’d think it was just invented. Oh contraire! Bone broth has been around for literally ever…arguably since caveman days! It is basically stock…with a bit more cooking
If had a dollar for every time I’ve heard: “I thought it would only take 2-3 lessons to learn how to swim.” Oh my…I’d be rich by now!! 😉 No, my friends, it’s a much longer process requiring patience & diligence. Why does learning to swim take so much longer than people think? Here are my Top 4
Over the years I’ve had many opportunities to coach coaches. It’s a challenging situation. We both (me as the coach & the coach as the student) have to watch for the often inaccurate assumption that mastery will come quickly.

Such is the case with rösti, what many Swiss consider to be their national dish. To be clear – this is NOT a potato pancake. Potato pancakes are made from raw potatoes whereas
A Week in My Life – Sunday, Feb. 5, 2023 For work, I coach one swim session. I know I said I have “work-free” weekends…I guess this technically isn’t true. However, this one swim session is one of my most enjoyable coaching sessions of the week! It’s relaxed, loose, mellow & fun! Is it technically
A Week in My Life – Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023 For work, NONE! Years ago, I made a commitment to work-free weekends. When you’re self-employed, it’s easy to make every day a workday. But have real, full, relaxing, freedom-filled weekends are SO important! I value that time. It gives me brain space to focus on
A Week in My Life – Friday, Feb. 3, 2023 For work, Fridays are my catch-up day. If there are any work tasks left to do, this is the day to finish them all so I can fully enjoy my weekends work-free! For exercise, Fridays are often Rest Days because my Thursday lifting sessions are
Two weeks ago, I started my “A Week in My Life” series by posting up what a typical Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday look like for me in terms of: Training-work-life balance Daily nutrition Rest & recovery How I spend my free time I did this not so that you can compare your days to mine…but rather
