21 Takeaways from the Tony Robbins Unleash Your Power Seminar

21 Takeaways from the Tony Robbins Unleash Your Power Seminar

I have so much to share from my experience at the Tony Robbins Unleash Your Inner Power four-day seminar (see post on my experience here) that I figured I’d start with some of my top takeaways, (OK, there' are a lot). They’re really life changing realizations that can be used as daily mantras.

Please Don't Ask This Question, Ever

Please Don't Ask This Question, Ever

Earlier this year, I wrote a post called “5 Things Never to Say (or Do) to A Pregnant Woman,” which was shared over and over for obvious reasons. When it comes to family planning, setting boundaries with others has been very important to me and I know from the feedback I got on that post, I’m not alone. That being said, since I’m fortunate enough to have a platform to speak on, and feel it’s important to write this as well in hopes to educate people who read it and don’t already know.

My Experience at the Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within Seminar

My Experience at the Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within Seminar

You might not believe this when I tell you, but I was actually dragged to the Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within seminar by Joe. Joe’s been a fan of his for a little while now.

As a spiritual person, I always appreciated the tone of people like Gabby Bernstein, Marianne Williamson and Oprah. That’s who I am. That’s who I resonate with.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, then you already saw the new addition to our family, Jimi! We rescued him at 11-weeks old from a shelter in CT, who rescued him from a kill shelter in South Carolina. He’s mostly black lab, but also a mix of terrier and pit. To say we love him is an understatement!

Un-Zen Ways to De-Stress in NYC

You guys know that I’ve had it rough lately and anger has played a huge role in my grief process. Remember when I went to the rage room (see blog post) to “safely” smash things and get it out? Well, I took my friend Joelle Garguilo from NBC’s New York Live there recently for a segment and it was so much fun. Check out my latest on “Un-Zen Ways to De-Stress in NYC.

Our California Coast Road Trip Itinerary

Our California Coast Road Trip Itinerary

Joe and I recently escaped to California for eleven days to take an adventurous road trip down the coast from San Francisco to Santa Monica in a convertible.  He perfectly planned stops all along the way and left room for spontaneous activity in-between.  It was fun, healing and exactly what we needed.  Many of you asked for our itinerary over on Instagram so here it is!  Safe travels!
