For a long time, I convinced myself that I didn’t have time to focus on my health. There were always emails to send, clients to serve, or something more “urgent” that took priority. But here’s what I’ve learned—you don’t find time, you make time. And even small actions can add up to big changes.

Here’s what’s been working for me:

1. Small Steps Add Up

Instead of focusing on drastic changes, I’ve been making small, sustainable shifts in my daily routine. Whether it’s getting in a quick 15-minute walk, making healthier food choices, or drinking more water, I’ve realized that progress is more important than perfection.

2. Self-Care Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Self-care doesn’t have to be an elaborate spa day or a full morning routine (though those are nice too!). Lately, I’ve been finding self-care in the small moments—a quick evening and morning face routine.

3. Shifting My Mindset Around Health & Wellness

Instead of thinking, “I don’t have time for this,” I’ve started asking, “How can I make time for this?” The shift from seeing health as an inconvenience to seeing it as a necessity has changed everything. When I show up for myself first, I can show up better for my business and family.

4. Balancing Business & Health Priorities

One of the biggest struggles I’ve had is making time for movement. I let go of the rigid schedule and instead focus on moving my body with what feels right each day. It could be a trip to the mailbox, a dance session with my girls, or a full on cardio workout.  It’s also helped to batch meal prep on Sundays so I have healthy options ready to go when things get busy.

5. How Prioritizing Myself is Making Me a Better Business Owner

Since focusing on my health and self-care, I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy, productivity, and overall mindset. I’m more present, more creative, and less drained by the end of the day. It’s proof that taking care of yourself is one of the best business strategies out there.
