4 OCT 2023 · Hello, gang! Today, I’m reporting to live from my bedroom because I’m SICK!
I’ve been working really hard and life-ing really hard recently, and unfortunately, it’s caught up to me. #sadtimes.
I debated even telling you all this today, but what’s really important to me is that I show up for all of you really authentically week over week, and so, here I am, exposing myself that my balance has been off recently and this is the outcome.
So, for today’s episode, I want to take you back to 3 episodes of the show that I think you should listen to as we move into this new month of October. The reason why I chose these episodes is because I think they have really important messages to take with us, especially during this month!
Here are the episodes:

27 SEP 2023 · I have a short + sweet episode for everyone today.
We are FALL-ing into a new season now that fall is here, and I want to talk about something extremely important–rest, sleep, + recovery. Now, you might be thinking “This isn’t the first time she’s talked about this” and you’re right! It’s not! And, it’s not going to be my last, either!
Everyone is looking for that quick fix to feel better, and we often look for it in the wrong places. I’m here to tell you (and many others who are WAY more qualified to talk about this than me) that your answer is REST + SLEEP. This is literally the best and only way your body can recover.
Key Takeaways:
- Happy Fall!
- What is Rest?
- Traditional vs. Non-Traditional Self-Care
- The Importance of Sleep
Then, I’m ending the episode by asking you: “What is one goal you have for the fall when it comes to your rest or your sleep habits?”
Remember–rest + recovery should RETURN your energy, not continue to drain energy from you.

This led to working in a CrossFit gym for the next seven years until she decided to return to school for a diploma in nutrition, and subsequently, start Charity Elliott Nutrition & Fitness. Six years later she's a mom of two and is constantly working on her work/life balance alongside her husband, Dan.
