I am convinced that at no point in life are we humans rigid and iron like. When we are at our best, or at our worst, we are still impressionable. We are always changing. This is what I like the most about being human, we are never the same. The person you are today is …

Worry about yourself and less about your IG Fitspo fav: An introspective look at self-inflicted standards and how you can begin to dismantle them.
Not going to lie, this started as your typical, and over-done, “finding the motivation to start” piece. But, halfway through an Attack on Titan binge and paragraph four I realized that isn’t what I wanted to talk about. Let’s face it, and we’re about to have a gigantic come to *insert whatever deity you pray …
1968, Vogue, and Cellulite – The complicated history of body fat, women, and social norms.
When looking at the ideological and generational gap between Boomers and Millennial’s we can see huge shifts in what was sought after, especially in women (womxn): The shift in aesthetic from Twiggy to Meg Thee Stallion; the longing for thinness v “thick” (we can have an entirely different conversation about the appropriation of AAVE (thicc), …
Here’s the Reason…
With everyone posting their success stories with #Reboot, I wanted to share the inspiration for the entire program. While many of you know, I ruptured L4/L5/S1 in 2013 during a training exercise. My entire life shifted with that injury. My career aspirations, my goals, my mobility, and at 21 I found myself needing help to …
Coffee That We Need in The Morning…
After finishing up with two virtual PT sessions this morning, I happened to stumble across a video of me first learning how to snatch from five years ago. It. Is. Ugly. But even though I narrowly avoided decapitating myself in the process, a Cheshire cat sized smile splits across my face once I stood …
So, We Finally Have a Stay-Home Order in Place…
Welp, the inevitable finally happened (albeit, a bit late). If you’re stressing the hell out about what you’re going to do I’ve pulled some resources for you (meaning, the links are at the bottom of the page so you can easily get to them). Positives? Well, for one, staying ya ass at home will hopefully …

WTF is Going On and How the Hell Are We Handling it….
If you’re like me and the news / media spin of the coronavirus has your head spinning and anxiety spiking, I feel you. It’s 10:41 pm, 5-hours and 41 minutes after all gyms were forced to shut down, and I still feel sick to my stomach. Why? I’m worried about my staff, how they’ll get …

No, really. I want to hear about your accomplishments.
I think we tend to shut ourselves down. Have you ever had an idea that really made you excited? An idea that ignited a glimmer of hope only to have it fanned away by self-doubt or the shadow of doubt from others? In the day and age of social media, and instant gratification, it’s hard …

It’s Important to Share the Journey
Nothing you experience is new to humankind. Every ounce of emotion has been felt, every pang of fear has been dealt with, and amazingly enough, we have survived it in some capacity. In the day and age of social media, it can be easy to get caught …
Day One? Or One Day?
Day One? Or One Day? Yes, I know it seems like this should probably wait for some cyclical holiday signaling renewal and fresh starts but waiting for some signal to ‘go’ makes as much sense as waiting to start on conquering your goals. This isn’t going to be a long-drawn out conversation, because truthfully, you’ve …
