Ok guys heavy stuff here but I know we can handle it!! I was asked to speak at career day to a group of elementary school students and a little girl asked "how do you define success?" Wow! Pretty big for a 3rd grader! I thought about it and I explained that success to me is being happy and doing what I love. As I was driving home however I thought ...happiness is a state of mind. We can choose to be happy but what really helped me to create a life I love? So I'm going to take it up a notch from those elementary school students for all you adults out there and give you a little freebie! Here are five strategies for success that I learned early on from a guest speaker during my studies and I

It’s fall. Pumpkin is the new black. While I do love the delicious warming flavors of pumpkin spice, it’s time for a health coach smackdown on the world’s most popular fall beverage. A 16-ounce Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has 49 grams of sugar – ouch! Even without the whip, it still contains 48 grams of sugar. That’s insane. DRINKING A STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE IS LIKE HAVING 2 FROSTED SUGAR COOKIES AND A BLUEBERRY SCONE FOR BREAKFAST. Think ordering it “skinny” or with soy makes it better? It doesn’t. Beyond the sugar, there are also preservatives, artificial food colorings and other potentially harmful chemicals in the favorings of this drink, so it really is just something to avoid.
