Before I met with Ashley Solomon, I read her “My Story” page on her website. I should have filmed it because my little brunette head was nodding quicker than my husband’s ugly Ohio State bobblehead. Female empowerment. System-level change. Personal ownership over that change. Freeing women from the negative cycle of body shaming and disordered eating. […]

What Number Are You? The Enneagram
I’ve taken a lot of personality tests. I’m outgoing. I like people. I like big ideas, not details. I’m a blue not an orange or green. And so on and so on. All of these tests have been helpful, but nothing especially life-changing. Certainly, nothing I continued to talk about weeks and months later. Then, Molly and I took […]
The Great Bridal Chase
Spring is upon us, and you know what that means… wedding season is right around the corner! Can you think of a better reason to party than celebrating love??….go ahead I’ll wait.

Need a Winter Pick-Me-Up? Take a Hike
Hi, my name is Jaime, and I am a true-crime junkie. I listen to true-crime podcasts, and I was all over the recently released Ted Bundy Netflix documentary.

Want a list of local studios that provide childcare? Read on….
I have mad respect for Cincinnati families working to keep wellness as a priority. My friends with kids would say that behind the scenes is a different story.

Reebok Sneakers and Breast Cancer: Pink Ribbon Girls
In 1992 my mom was 34. She worked full-time at an architectural firm, had a sassy kindergartner (hiii) and an infant, lived in a new city a few hours from her hometown of Cleveland, and liked to don Reebok sneakers with her skirt suits for lunchtime walking seshs. Hello, 1990’s style. It was also that […]
Optimize Your Well-Being: Prevent. Heal. Thrive.
I first learned about Integrative medicine when living in Columbus and working at Ohio State. I was looking for a new primary care doc, and my friend recommended a gentleman who practiced Integrative medicine. I didn’t know much about Integrative medicine before my first appointment, and I would soon learn that it definitely differs from […]

The Best Thanksgiving Day Workouts in Cincy This Year
I love working out Thanksgiving morning. It’s actually one of my favorite parts of the holiday. When I was little my Mom, Grandma, and an aunt or two would bundle up and go for a long, early morning walk on Thanksgiving Day. As I grew older, my cousin and I would go for runs. Now, if […]
