Hi Love Connection
"I first discovered Hi Love through working with them via The Gauge Collective - and have loved their products ever since. I’m all about supporting women-owned small businesses"
Wellness Love
"Wellness is important to me because movement has always been my medicine - it’s how I stay grounded, and feel good inside and out. After navigating chronic health issues, I’ve experienced how powerful daily habits, mindfulness, and nourishing routines can be in transforming your quality of life."
Health
"I follow the 80/20 rule — focusing on consistent movement and nourishing meals, while leaving room for flexibility. I prioritize hydration, protein and fiber, but I also need at least one sweet treat a day!"
Keep Active
"I prefer variety in my workouts - some days it's heavy weights, and other days it's dance cardio. But, I tend to gravitate towards low impact workouts that focus on deep core work and overall strength. I also go on daily morning walks with my husband, Clark, and dog, Macey!"
Health & Wellness Advice
"Consistency might look a little different each day, and discipline will always beat motivation."
