I'm not too sure about you guys, but, when I wake up in the morning I'm not exactly dying to do things that are hard. Like, the minute I roll out of bed, I don't want the first things I'm doing to be complicated. I like to start slow, peaceful, maybe energized and motivated, but not a daunting checklist of tasks that need to be crossed off.
So, this week's episode of Be Well With Steph is about:

What does it mean to live a Wellness Lifestyle?I’ve been using the phrase “Wellness Lifestyle” a lot - to me that phrase is exactly what it sounds like… the lifestyle habits and daily routines that contribute to your overall health and wellbeing. But, that might look very different for different people.
Since my current coaching package – which I’m absolutely obsessed with, by the way – is called “Wellness Lifestyle Coaching”, I wanted to break it down for you and get really clear on what the components of a wellness lifestyle actually are, and how Wellness Lifestyle Coaching might look different from person to person.

It IS about my own struggles with the idea that I had to maintain a certain weight/size, and my personal experiences navigating the difference between weight loss and health. It's kind of personal, but it's a conversation that I really think needs to be opened up and explored. I hope that the Be Well with Steph community is a safe place for all of us to do that.

December is an insane month - at least, it always feels like that to me! There's a lot of extra hustle and bustle around shopping, parties, family gatherings, school and work events, wacky schedules (or no schedules), in addition to all your regular responsibilities. When I say, "You need to continue to care for yourself during the holidays," you're probably either thinking:
