The Self-Proclaimed Badass

BadassMindset

Why am I, Jenell Riesner, a complete and total Badass? When we first challenged ourselves to write a post about being a badass, the first thought that popped into my head was, “How am I going to write a blog post about being a badass when half the time I don’t feel like one?”. I […]

Five Reasons to Banish your Technological FOMO

FearMindset

One of the first things I do when I leave for vacation is turn off my push email notifications on my phone. It’s an exhilarating feeling! Whenever I complete this vacation ritual, it’s as if someone has lifted 100 pounds of weight off my shoulders. The ball and chain and the constant demand for my […]

What I Learned By Taking It All Off…

BadassMindsetMovement

About a year and a half ago, I was packing up to leave my life in Vancouver, BC, where I had spent the previous few years working at lululemon. I was headed across the country to be with my boyfriend who lived in Milwaukee, WI. It was the first time that I had ever decided that […]

#MyBodyCan

BadassMindsetMovement

Most days we wake up, look in the mirror, and nitpick all the things we wish were different about our bodies. It’s not from a place of hate; there are a lot of things to be proud of. That said, most days we aspire for change in how we look in some way or another. […]

“You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don’t Take”

FearMindset

This quote by Wayne Gretsky changed my life. I spent most of my early years living out LOUD, being me, doing what I wanted, and not worrying an ounce about what others thought of me. If I wanted something, I truly believed it was mine to achieve. I could get it and I went for […]

You’re A Badass…Until You Think You’re A Badass

BadassMindset

I recently read Jen Sincero’s You’re A Badass (http://www.jensincero.com/store/). I first heard of the book after a tea date with a friend who said that it had changed her life. Who doesn’t love something that has the potential to change your life?! I was excited to run home, buy the book, and dive in, but […]

Why I Quit Whole 30

NutritionPrograms

Let me start by saying that the first time I did Whole30 I personally considered it a “success” for a few key reasons. First and foremost, it was my first-time diving into the crazy world of nutrition. I was finally ready to learn how foods impacted my life; mind, body, soul. Additionally, I discovered that… […]

An Open Break Up Letter to Food

BadassMindsetNutrition

Dear Food, We need to talk. We’ve been together for so long, but…this just isn’t working. I love you so much that I need you. And I’ve become quite obsessed with you. That’s the problem. My love for you has made me blind to how controlling you’ve become. Our relationship isn’t healthy. We’re always playing […]

What Does it Mean to be Healthy?

BadassMindsetNutrition

Different stages of life have garnered very different answers to this question. I have pursued health for many reasons, depending on the decade, trying different programs, rules, trainers, classes, diets, spiritual healing, and relaxation methods. All have worked in some capacity, but none of them individually was the silver bullet answer. For most of my […]

The Perfect Nutrition Program for You! 🦄

BadassNutritionPrograms

As an aspiring nutritionist, I have concerns with the current world of nutrition. A part of the drive to continue my education is based on my personal confusion with the health world today. One group tells us to eat meat, the other says meat will kill us. We’ve been told fat is bad and now […]
