“I am dedicated to teaching you how to develop the power to Feel better, Function better and LIVE Better.”
— JESSICA SCHATZ, THE CORE EXPERT™
I was born on December 9th, 1969 with both the sun and moon in Sagittarius - last week I turned 52. I've always identified deeply with this sign- the archer- the deep wisdom-seeking, the call of adventure, the beauty of expansion, all with the enthusiasm of fire. Leaping and soaring with my bow and arrow.
Read MoreHappy Thanksgiving friends!
Today is all about giving thanks and expressing gratitude. While this is something I practice daily, it is magnified when I'm surrounded by loved ones and expressing my feelings of joy today.
Read More“When you let go of your idea of what your life has to look like your world gets so much bigger."
Years ago, one of my mentors taught me this lesson, and it is still one of the greatest lessons I have ever learned. It is one that I continue to practice and teach. I am certainly practicing it here in Maui. I knew that this trip was necessary. But I could not have imagined how transformative it would be.
Read MoreSince 1949, May has been nationally recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. The goal is to raise awareness and educate the public on symptoms, causes, and available treatments. A larger mission is to inspire more social empathy for those who suffer.
Read MoreAs some of you know, I am in the process of writing a book. And boy-oh-boy has it been a process!
This book has been in me to write for a few years now and I just couldn’t figure out how or where to begin. I can’t tell you how many false starts I had.
Read MoreIn May of 2019, I released my first series of online instructional videos. I created a mobile, equipment-free program designed to benefit everyone regardless of fitness level, stage in life, or access to a private instructor or fancy gym.
Read MoreA few years ago in an interview, I was asked "What do you believe people are missing the most when it comes to a healthy lifestyle?” My answer was - and still is - “the ability to cultivate joy on a daily basis.” Make no mistake, I was speaking as much personally as I was collectively.
Read MoreDear friends and family, as we collectively experience the passing of 2020, it’s fair to say that this year has been like no other in our lifetime.
Read More"'The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Socrates
Read MoreThis week I turned 51, and here’s what I know - it is a gift to be alive and well! And my life is full of many gifts and blessings for which I am grateful. Therefore I always welcome and celebrate my birthday in some fashion, although every year that looks different.
Read MoreHow do we learn to find peace and clarity in those seasons of life that don't unfold as expected?
Read MoreIn 2012 I had a lumpectomy in my right breast. It was BENIGN. However, being diagnosed with a benign tumor doesn’t take the scary out of the word “tumor,” a word that will stop you in your tracks.
Read MoreWith Election Day upon us, many of us are feeling a heightened sense of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. This experience cuts across party lines, as no one person has control over the outcome. And all of that uncertainty and ensuing stress can take a toll on our mental and physical health.
Read MoreAlthough it’s still a month away, I'm already looking forward to that special day of the year when gratitude is front and center. And while celebrations will be smaller and many families will be apart, that doesn't mean gratitude has to dim its light.
Read MoreThe silver lining of being stuck at home during the COVID-19 is getting to cozy up with a good book, especially ones that will encourage you to think about the world from new perspectives. Reading has helped me get through this challenging time with greater gratitude and knowledge, so I'm sharing some of my favorite quarantine reads with you. My intent is that these books serve you as well as they have served me!
Read More"... when things go back to normal..." Something I hear a lot. But there is no such thing, nor has there ever been. There is no "going back" in life unless you want to live a life of resistance and suffering - which I know you don't.
Read MoreWhat do you do when certainty seems impossible to find? For many of us, the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have pulled the rug out from under our routines and left us with a sudden lack of structure. Certainty is in short supply these days for all of us. That is why creating daily rituals is more important than ever.
Read MoreMy friends, we are more than halfway through 2020 - which in and of itself feels a bit surreal - and this year has been unprecedented in so many ways. There have been missed celebrations, opportunities, and experiences we had hoped to have, and more time on our hands than ever before.
Read MoreWhen you ask someone how they’re doing, do you ever hear, “I’m great, life is so balanced and calm and stress free”? Or, when you’re sitting in traffic, late for an important meeting and you see the minutes going by, do you say to yourself, “I’m so relaxed and calm because there’s nothing I can do about it anyway. So I’m just gonna chill”? Yeah, me neither…
