Day 24 ✨ Behind the Scenes of Growth

Social media usually shows the finished product, not the messy middle.

This morning, getting out of bed felt impossible and my eyes felt way too good staying shut 😆 But after 33 minutes of a full body workout and a shower, I felt like a different person.

Discipline isn’t glamorous. Sometimes it looks like driving to work with wet hair wrapped in a towel, putting on socks at a red light, drinking water, and listening to Bible in a Year between everything else.

The mental battles showed up today too. In healthcare, there are days when patients don’t see the countless hours, care, and effort that go into serving them well. Those days can be hard.

What keeps me going is my incredible team. Two of my team members are pregnant and still show up giving 200% every day while growing tiny humans at the same time 🥺 They inspire me more than they know.

By the end of the day, I was exhausted, but I still got my Duolingo, reading, and water goal done with time to spare 🙌🏼

And the sweetest moment of the day? My son sharing his favorite peanut snacks with me. 🥹

Growth isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it just looks like showing up tired and doing it anyway. 🤍

Day 23 ✨

It’s funny how some things change and some things don’t.

Twenty-three days into this challenge, and getting out of bed was still SO hard this morning. 😅

But I’ve learned something over the past few weeks: I don’t have to feel ready to get started.

Once I rolled out the yoga mat and got my body moving, everything changed. My energy improved, my mindset shifted, and I was ready to take on the day.

That’s one of the biggest lessons from this journey so far. Action creates momentum.

The day flew by with a smooth day at work and another opportunity to serve our amazing patients. I also hit my water goal earlier than usual, which honestly felt like a bigger victory than it should have. 🙌🏼

Bible in a Year ✔️
Reading ✔️
Duolingo ✔️
Hydration ✔️

But the best part of my day wasn’t checking off a list.

It was ending the evening snuggled up with my daughter, having girl talk, sharing laughs, and watching a classic movie together.

When I compare myself to Day 1, I don’t necessarily feel stronger or more disciplined every single day. What I do feel is more relaxed, more confident, and more trusting of the process.

The habits that once felt overwhelming are starting to feel normal.

And that’s how real change happens.

Not overnight.
Not perfectly.
But one day at a time. 🤍

Day 22 ✨ Week 3 Reflection

Three weeks ago, I started this challenge thinking it would be mostly about fitness, discipline, and building better habits.

While those things are definitely happening, I’m realizing this journey is about so much more.

It’s about showing up when I don’t feel like it.

It’s about keeping promises to myself.

It’s about choosing growth over comfort.

Over the last three weeks, I’ve had days where I felt energized and unstoppable. I’ve also had days where I wanted to stay in bed, skip the workout, ignore the water bottle, and convince myself that tomorrow would be a better day to start.

But tomorrow doesn’t create change.

Today does.

One thing I’ve learned is that discipline isn’t a personality trait that some people are born with. It’s a skill that gets stronger every time you choose to do the thing you said you would do.

My faith has continued to ground me through this process. Bible in a Year has challenged me, encouraged me, and reminded me that growth often happens in seasons of discomfort. The books I’m reading are expanding my perspective. Duolingo continues to remind me that consistency compounds over time. And the workouts continue to remind me that I am capable of more than I think.

But the greatest gift these past three weeks has given me isn’t a stronger body or better habits.

It’s the moments with my family.

The conversations with my children.

The time with my husband.

The opportunities to serve my patients and encourage my team.

Those are the things that make all of this worthwhile.

As I head into Week 4, I’m excited to keep building on the foundation that’s been created over these first 22 days. There is still so much room to grow, so much to learn, and so much to become.

Thank you for following along, encouraging me, and growing with me. 🤍

Let’s see what Week 4 has in store.

Day 20 ✨ The “Why” Behind the Growth

Twenty days into this journey, I’m realizing that becoming better isn’t just about what I can achieve. It’s about who I become and how that growth impacts the people I love most.

Today was filled with moments that reminded me exactly why I started.

After some administrative work, my family gathered for lunch and had conversations that filled my heart. As parents, my husband and I work every day to become better versions of ourselves because we hope our children see that success is earned through hard work, meaningful relationships require commitment and sincerity, and personal growth is a lifelong journey.

Later, I stepped outside for my first outdoor run in weeks with my husband walking alongside me as my personal photographer ☺️. Five miles was not easy, especially as I’m practicing new breathing techniques from my current book, but the cool breeze, the quiet moments, and the time alone with my thoughts reminded me how important it is to care for my physical, emotional, and mental health.

When my cup is full, I can pour so much more into the people around me.

The learning didn’t stop there. I finished my reading for the day and continue to be amazed by how much our minds can grow when we choose to challenge ourselves. Every book, every lesson, and every new perspective is helping me become the person God has called me to be.

One of my favorite moments today came after my run when my daughter and I went swimming together. She opened up to me about a difficult conversation she had with a friend and how relieved she felt afterwards. I was so proud of her maturity and emotional intelligence. Later, my husband and son joined us and we shared how God continually finds ways to pull us closer to Him, whether through youth camp, experiences at work, or moments we never expected.

As a parent, it’s a beautiful feeling when your children begin checking in on you the same way you’ve always checked in on them. 🥹

Day 18 ✨

Do it tired.
Do it unmotivated.
Do it slow.
Do it anyway.

Today was one of those days where everything felt harder.

I didn’t want to get out of bed. I didn’t want to put my shoes on. I didn’t want to step on the treadmill. Every movement felt like it was happening in slow motion.

Did I have my strongest workout? Absolutely not.

I got 18 minutes in, completed 1.3 miles on the incline, and listened to Bible in a Year. And today, that was enough.

This challenge is teaching me that discipline isn’t about having perfect days. It’s about showing up on the days when you have every reason not to.

At work, I spent time with my team cleaning and organizing our sterilization room. I came home to one of the sweetest surprises: a clean kitchen counter from my son and an empty sink from my daughter. My stress level instantly dropped 🥰. Then I got to enjoy homemade food from my mom that filled not only my stomach, but my heart too.

After resting and recharging, I still came back to myself. 30 minutes of yoga, Duolingo, my reading, and I even had an easier time hitting my water goal today 🙌🏼

Some days you conquer the day.

Some days you simply refuse to let the day conquer you.

Do it anyway.

Day 18 complete 🤍

Day 17 ✨

Some days are not about big breakthroughs. Some days are about appreciating the life, people, and purpose that make the hard work worth it.

This morning started with 35 minutes of movement. After two weeks of lifting the same weights, I can’t believe they still feel so heavy 😅 but I’m reminding myself that showing up consistently is where the strength is built.

I spent my drive to and from work listening to Bible in a Year and had a little smile from God when a patient walked in wearing a shirt that said “Vibrant.” How fitting for the place and mission we’ve built. 🤍

One of the biggest blessings in my career is the people I get to work beside every single day. Today, we celebrated the 5-year work anniversaries of Stephanie, our Patient Coordinator, and Amber, our Hygienist. I am so honored and grateful to lead such an incredible team. Their dedication, kindness, and commitment to our patients are a huge part of what makes our office so special.

By the end of the day, I was exhausted. I rested, completed my Duolingo, pushed through my reading even though my eyes wanted to close, and yes… that last cup of water still tried to defeat me. 😂

The perfect ending was slowing down and snuggling with my kids while watching The Middle.

Today reminded me that success isn’t just measured by what you accomplish. It’s also measured by the relationships you build, the people you pour into, and the gratitude you carry along the way.

Day 17 complete. 🤍✨

Day 16 ✨

One of the greatest blessings of this journey has been realizing that growth isn’t just about becoming stronger physically. It’s about becoming more present in the moments that matter most.

I started my morning with yoga, Bible in a Year on my drive to work, and getting a head start on my hydration. Little by little, these habits are becoming a part of my everyday life.

The most meaningful part of my day, though, was time spent with my kids.

I had a beautiful conversation with my daughter about faith, serving our church and community, and the unique blessings and challenges that come with being women. Later, I spent time with my son helping him secure his plants and rocks for his fish tank.

Motherhood looks different as your children grow. They don’t hold your hand as much, they don’t need you in the same ways, and they don’t cling to you like they did when they were little 🥹

But that makes the moments they choose to spend with you even more special.

I also finished my 10 pages of reading and hit my hydration goal with much less of a battle today. Small wins are still wins. 😌

Today reminded me that a successful life isn’t measured only by what we accomplish, but by the relationships we nurture along the way.

Day 16 complete. 🤍

Day 15 ✨ Week 2 Reflection

Two weeks down, and I’m already realizing that this journey is about so much more than workouts, water, or checking off a list.

This week taught me the beauty of showing up even when I don’t feel like it.

There were mornings where I felt strong and ready to conquer the day. There were evenings where I was exhausted and had to fight every excuse in my head just to finish what I promised myself I would do. There were moments at work that humbled me and reminded me that even after years of experience, there is always something new to learn and room to grow.

But every challenge had a lesson.

I learned that confidence is built by keeping the promises you make to yourself.

I learned that taking care of my body also means appreciating it exactly as it is today.

I learned that being a leader means never stopping being a student, whether that’s learning from a book, my faith, my colleagues, or the people around me.

And yes… I’m still battling those last few cups of water every single night. 😅

The biggest takeaway from Week 2 is that discipline doesn’t mean everything is easy. It means choosing to do the things that align with the person you are becoming, even when you’re tired, uncomfortable, or don’t feel motivated.

These weekly reflections are becoming one of my favorite parts of this challenge because they give me a chance to be honest with you. Not just about the wins, but about the struggles, the doubts, and the moments that make this journey real.

Thank you for continuing to follow along and grow with me. We are only 15 days in, and I am so excited to see what the next 75 days have in store.

Week 2 complete. Let’s keep becoming better together. 🤍✨

06/14/2026

Day 14 ✨ Rest, Recharge, and Gratitude

A reminder that rest is productive too.

This challenge has taught me the importance of pushing myself, but it’s also teaching me the importance of listening to my body. Today was a much needed rest day, and I’m grateful I gave myself permission to slow down and recharge.

I spent the day doing the simple things that make life beautiful. Chores around the house, listening to Bible in a Year and my audiobook, and appreciating the gift of having a little extra time to do them.

One of my favorite moments today was hemming my new work pants, a skill I hope to pass down and teach my kids one day. There’s something special about knowing how to create, fix, and care for the things you have.

The day ended with a fun date night at a concert with my husband, and we even got to meet some of the singers backstage. Moments like these remind me that this journey isn’t just about discipline and checking off tasks. It’s about creating a life that is healthy, joyful, and full of memories.

Bible in a Year is becoming easier and more natural each day. The water challenge, however… is still keeping me humble. 😅 Drinking my last four cups in the final two hours was definitely not the plan, but a win is a win!

Two weeks down and I’m learning that growth looks different every single day. Some days we push harder. Some days we slow down. Both are necessary.

Here’s to continuing to show up, one day at a time. 🤍
