When we Fast, does it always need to be food?

that's a loaded question, but, to me, the answer is simple...what has God asked you to fast?

In this recorded episode you'll hear me dive deeper into the principles of fasting & share how you can stair-step your way into a fast, use non-food  fasting, & hear powerful stories behind food fasts.

Hey there friend!

By “she,” I mean ME.

I was the girl that asked a billion questions when I first joined my team as a wellness coach. While I was worried in the beginning that my coach was rolling her eyes every time I shot over another question about how to run a successful online business, I know that wasn’t the case. Because my coach and my entire upline is full of some of the most positive, kind-hearted, supportive people I know.

You know the saying about how you are an average of the 5 people you spend the most time with? Well in that case, ever since I dropped my ego and shifted into learning mode to become a wellness coach (May of 2015) I feel I’ve been doing pretty dang well.

And when it comes to anything in life, working on your health, growing as a person, having a social life, starting a business, taking the next career step...this remains true. No matter where you are in life or what you’re working on, it’s so dang important to...

This fall, I’m really trying to be intentional about more self-love in my day!

My kids just started going to school, and while I thought being home with them was tough, I’ve learned that there’s times I totally miss having them around.

...Then there’s other times then I don’t mind at all as I’m getting work done uninterrupted

(any other work from home parents reading this and feel me on the completely opposite moods?!)

All that said, I know I go through the motions SO much now - the whole wake up, do my morning mindset & workout, get kids up, bring them to school, start work, lunch, wrap work, kids home, homework, dinner and I’m whooped. We all go through that or a similar struggle.

But I want you to remember to focus and care about Y O U and your mindset

If you’re not doing anything for your mindset (I choose to journal, pray and meditate) then check out the guide!

If you’re not working out or if you want a great guided...

Happy Friday!! This week I kicked off Phase 2 of Morning Meltdown 100 - seriously, this program is blowing my mind!

One of our Be Well coaches, Heather is crushing this program and REALLY focusing on her nutrition. She even turned down going out to the playground w/ the kids and grabbing fast food to eat the other day because she didn't have her food with her. Instead, she went home and made a healthy lunch! Don't worry - her kids were still well entertained and played - this momma is a rockstar!

She's totally committed to transforming not only her body (do you see her 14 day results!?) but also her mindset! Plus, she's showing up like a BOSS in our Be Well Community, spreading the love!  If you haven't hopped into the Be Well Community as one of our tribe members - what are you waiting for?!

I am SO obsessed with the new vegan Recover. I used the regular for years and although I'm not vegan, I really like that Beachbody has that option now. The difference between the two is the protein. Original Recover has whey, and vegan uses a plant based (pea) protein. Either way, they're both delicious and taste just like your childhood Ovaltine or Nesquik!

Try some for yourself with either a 20 serving tub or single packets (whey only)

And then go ahead and make this delicious sounding Chocolate Zucchini Bread Smoothie!!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for...Shakeology ice cream??

It's no secret that I love serving my daughters their Shakeology as ice cream. I feel good knowing they're getting the right vitamins and nutrients (with sprinkles of course) and they feel like they're having a special treat!

Try it out for yourself and make this Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakeology Ice Cream :)

Ya'll I have been BLOWN AWAY by how much LIIFT4 has been shaping mine and my community member's lives!

This program has been all about BALANCE and getting that 'lifestyle liift' as I have to call it!   I've loved it so much since doing early access with the exclusive Coach Test group, I'm ready to just SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFS

You've probably seen in my stories on social media (Instagram @TamaraLeeBratton or Facebook Tamara Lee Bratton) that for me, this program has done the following:

• Given My husband and myself a workout we can DO TOGETHER

• Given my body rest

• Allowed my body to start cycling again (will note I also finished breastfeeding at the start of this program)

• Given me TONS of confidence as I lifted weights bigger than I thought I could (girl, sometimes I have a 45 pound weight!)

• It's just been FUN - like super fun to do 30-40 min workouts and feel AMAZING from it!

So what all did I do differently with...
