In this podcast episode, I introduce you to Shaylee, who shares her powerful story of witnessing her father murder her mother when she was just 11 years old. Despite the trauma she experienced, Shaylee emphasizes that healing is possible no matter what kind of trauma one has been through. She talks about her journey of healing, including her initial denial and attempts to portray everything as fine, and her turning point when she started talking to her father and realized she needed to face and work through her emotions. Shaylee also reflects on the challenges of her father's trial, where he tried to avoid accountability by claiming he didn't remember the incident. Despite this, she has now developed a relationship with her father and achieved a sense of healing.

This is a special episode because I got to interview my oldest sister Hollie Mckeeth!
She is a wife and a mom of 20 years. She works in a microbiology lab and enjoys event planning on the side. Talk about the perfect mix of beauty and brains.

You're going to want to share this episode with your mom or your daughter, and please do. Having The Accountability Code as a way to communicate effectively helped us grow closer. I hope our relationship inspires you to strengthen your own family relationships as well as heal from the toxic ones (as we share a bit of that in this episode as well).

Kim's journey will inspire anyone who has a dream but feels trapped by fear. I was honored to support her and watch grow. Kim had what she calls a "terror barrier" around sharing a vulnerable life vision, and she took the stage at my recent retreat shared it with a group of 25 women.
Enjoy this message and lean into your terror barrier. Reach out to me to get your own loving kick in the pants!
Today I want to give you an excerpt from my audiobook "The Accountability Code."

It is a good example of what it felt like for me to have the desire to follow through with those positive reassuring promptings I was receiving, and what it did for my ability to take action.

Ladies: DON'T get caught up in making goals and resolutions that don't even make sense for you.
If you're ready to start setting and ACHIEVING realistic goals, you need to be part of FAST!
FAST stands for "Fun & Sustainable Team." When you're part of our team, you'll learn how to create a FUN & SUSTAINABLE healthy lifestyle that actually makes sense for you and your life.
Sometimes people make healthy eating sound harder than it is. Here are the 3 myths you probably believe about eating healthy. (And they're all lies.):
Lie #1: If you are eating healthy you must be obsessed with your food.
Well let me tell you what! Your mind is about to be blown because my clients are not obsessed about their food. The whole point of learning to eat healthy is being able to incorporate healthy, delicious meals into your every day life.
I just can’t hold it back anymore. Every once in a while I see these crazy posts on social media with people wondering why they're not losing weight, why their "healthy" diet isn't working. They’ve “tried everything already” and their cry for help will bring in uneducated direct sales and MLM people by the masses.
There are 3 fatal mistakes you are probably making right now and frankly, it’s holding you back.
Ahh the dreaded (or delightful) start date of your new journey. I’m sure you’ve heard “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” and it’s well known and used often because it’s true.
Speaking of a 1,000 mile journey, I could probably think of 1,000 reasons why procrastinating sounds good. It’s easier to blame the crappy food in the fridge on your spouse, it’s easier to cater to your kids when they want what “everyone else gets to have”, and it’s easier to eat what is put in front of you rather than plan out what will be best for your body.
These are just your average, every day excuses, but over the holidays? We definitely like over indulging. Nobody wants to be the odd one out who’s “on a diet” during the holidays, throwing away treats from the neighbors like you're ungrateful or making treats without "taste testing."
Of course we all wish we had that “rags to riches” or “fat to fit” story that makes others drop their jaws in amazement.
I don’t know about you, but for me, that’s just not realistic.
The truth is that life -- MY life -- my story -- the whole reason I created the Healthy Eating Challenge and more -- has a whole bunch of ups and downs -- positives and negatives. Sometimes things seem so smooth - you’re motivated to workout, craving healthy food, taking care of yourself and life just seems to be falling into place.
Other times…
You just want to eat cake, lay in bed watching Netflix, cry yourself to sleep and ignore the alarm. (or accidentally forget to set it in the first place).
That’s ok! Please let me tell you first-hand that life will never be perfect and that is TOTALLY, 100% OKAY!!
Our 4th & final week of the Good v. Bad Series is all about VEGGIES!
I'm sure you were wondering when vegetables would make their debut in this healthy food conversation.
Guess what? When it comes to vegetables, there isn't really a good side and bad side. Veggies are always good! Veggies are whole foods, packed with nutrition and they make you feel full longer. Veggies make you feel amazing.
The only "bad" of veggies is when you aren't eating them. If you aren't including any vegetables in your diet, it is detrimental to your health. Our bodies thrive off of the vitamins and minerals received from whole foods -- especially fruits and vegetables that are in season.
Last week we covered the controversial topic of carbs. Today, we're talking all about FAT. In Healthy Eating Challenge I teach you the good, the bad and the ugly of about 4 different types of fat. Basically, there are good fats, bad fats and a couple inbetween. We go pretty in-depth in the challenge.
Today, let’s just talk about the WORST and BEST kinds of fats.
When someone says "grains" or "carbs," do you get the same shivering feeling as hearing "Mufasa"? Contrary to what many fad diets would have you believe, YOUR BODY NEEDS CARBS!! It just needs healthy carbs.
Need help figuring out what to eat? Want to NOT eat all of the Halloween candy this month? Need consistent Accountability with guidance and hand holding? There’s so many fads and different opinions that navigating through healthy eating can be really hard. Over the next 4 weeks I’m going to break down some of the goods and bads -- and you might find there’s some “goods” you weren’t expecting.
Your fitness journey MUST be fun and sustainable. Did you know that if your current program wasn't then it just wouldn't work?
That kind of seems like a trick question huh? Like if we want to get into the best shape of our lives we're going to have to hate it a little bit right?
I'm here to help you understand why Fun and Sustainable is the way to go and to tell you a little bit about WHY that's the name of my business.
What foods should you eat? What should you avoid? There’s so many fads and different opinions that navigating through healthy eating can be really hard. Today I’m going to break down some of the goods and bads of 4 categories - sugar, carbs, fat and veggies. You might be pleasantly surprised that there's a decent balance of good and bad.
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the rat race of life and never get a break? Life makes a lot of demands of us – work, family, exercise – everything in our lives can cause some form of stress.
Maybe if we were all energizer bunnies, we could keep going and going without ever taking a break. But we’re not. We’re human. And in reality, even energizer bunnies go, go, go… and then just die. Nobody wants that.
Cue recovery!
