If you've been wondering why it's been a little quiet over here...
Nope, I didn't fall off a mountain or ghost y'all-I've just been deep in a season of FULL-ASS LIVING.

And trust me....A LOT Of coffee is involved in the process of the wonderful chaos! Someone send me more coffee please!

Here's what l've been up to (and loving every second):
- Crushing workouts in the gym and on the trails - not gonna miss out on my gains OR my therapy time. Plus, everyone else is safer when I take care of myself! 🖤
- Building a damn house after nearly 4 years of camper life
- Soaking up time with the fam-Summer FUN!
- Planning the 2025 Trail Running Film Festival (AUGUST 20 - The Orange Peel. Mark your damn calendar.) Be sure to follow and get your tickets: https://www.ticketsignup.io/TicketEvent/25TrailRunningFilmFestivalAsheville
- Working on a secret project that's THIS close to being announced
- Planning a LULULEMON Run Event end of August-this is for ALL runners and fitness levels with a shop event!
If you want in, drop a 🦾 below!
- Dreaming big with my THRIVE WNC WEN crew to love on local women business owners
- Plotting a MASSIVE Lululemon Empowered Event for 2026 that's gonna shake the damn ground-think education, networking, women empowerment and support, plus chances to really be spoiled and loved!

So yeah, it's been a little quiet on the grid-but l'm still HERE. Loud, messy, focused, real, ranchy, raw and on a mission.
Quiet online doesn't mean still.

I'm just NOT here for fluff-and I'm definitely NOT just posting to post. I'm building big s**t, making real moves, and staying locked in on what matters.

Wanna roll with me through the chaos, momentum, and behind-the-scenes badassery?

At first, I was embarrassed.
I told myself, “It’s not really happening. I’m fine. I’ll push through like I always do.”

I didn’t want to be “that woman” and I was even accused of it:
The one who complains.
The one who makes excuses.
The one who isn’t strong enough.

Then came the dismissals—from others and myself (hello gaslighting):
“Menopause is just a fad.”
“It’s a buzzword now.”
“You just need more sleep and less stress.”

But here’s what WAS real:
– Weight gain that wouldn’t budge
– Mood swings that made me feel like I was unraveling
– Hot flashes that hit at the worst times
– Brain fog so heavy I couldn’t finish thoughts
– Depression that settled in quietly like it belonged
– Fatigue so deep it crushed willpower
– And then—hair loss. The top/back of my head? Bald. Along with bald spots all over.

I was devastated.
I cried. I raged. I grieved.
And then—I said f**k it and shaved my head to a Mohawk.

That Mohawk?
It was rebellion. Power.
A middle finger to silence.
A declaration: “I’m done hiding.”

I became my own advocate.
And now? I’m sharing to be one for you too.

Not because I’m an expert.
Not a doctor or specialist.
Just a woman living this, learning, and refusing to suffer in silence.

Because menopause doesn’t have to suck.
You deserve real care, real answers, real support.

These badass experts have helped me feel seen, shared updated research and information that gave me hope:

SOLSTICE ENERGY: Long Days. Strong Vibes. No Apologies.

The longest day of the year just showed up—and so did we.

This isn’t just a sunset.
It’s a full-body reminder:
You weren’t made to play small.
You weren’t built to stay quiet.
And you sure as hell weren’t put here to dim your light for anyone.

This season?
We expand.
Into more sunlight.
More sweat.
More strength.
More hell yes to everything that sets our souls on fire.

You’re fire 🔥.
You’re force 🦾.
You’re a walking rebellion.

So lift heavy.
Run wild.
Speak louder.
Say NO without guilt.
And take up every damn inch of space you’ve earned.

This season, we rise.
Let it burn.
Let it build or REBUILD.
Let it remind you who the f^ck you are.

Today, I DNF’d my race.
And I’m sitting with a wild, messy mix of emotions: pride, disappointment, relief, joy… and clarity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another thing to thank menopause for? Maybe.
Or maybe it’s just this new phase of life reminding me that strength doesn’t always look like finishing.
Sometimes, it looks like knowing when to let go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Running has kept me alive since middle school.
It taught me survival.
It showed me who I was—and who I could become.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But lately, it’s been teaching me something deeper:
That the strongest thing you can do is release the old goals to make space for soul-aligned ones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year, perimenopause hit like a freight train—depression, exhaustion, brain fog, and a total disconnect from movement.
I cried through workouts.
Felt like a stranger in a body I used to trust.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I fought for myself.
Got support. Started hormone therapy.
My energy is returning. My brain-less foggy.
And with it came bravery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bravery to rest.
Bravery to rebuild.
Bravery to grow into a version of me that’s bolder, softer, and stronger in ways that don’t need to be proven.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This morning, I asked: What’s my WHY today?
And it wasn’t about finishing.
It was about honoring exactly where I am.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe in chasing BIG HAIRY ASS GOALS—goals so big they sound wild until I grow into the person who can achieve them.
But those goals shift, because I shift.
Every rep, every mile, every start line, every mountain I climb teaches me something new.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not done with running—hell no.
But I am done chasing a finish line that was never really mine.
Maybe that goal wasn’t meant for me.
And maybe that’s exactly the point.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There was a time when a DNF would’ve wrecked me.
Now, it frees me.
Because I didn’t quit—I chose me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Huge congrats to the finishers today—what a day. 🦾
And to the rest of us?
We’re still in it. Just climbing a different mountain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve had your own version of a DNF…
This is your permission to loosen the grip.
To pivot.
To chase what’s next with open hands and a clear heart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re not giving up.
You’re leveling the f^ck up. 💥

GLOBAL RUNNING DAY

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the magic of movement.

Running has been so many things to me over the years…
My therapy.
My rebellion.
My joy.
My reset button when the world feels heavy.
My celebration when it feels light.

It’s where I go to feel free.
To remember who TF I am.
To quiet the noise and connect—to nature, to my body, and to other badass humans who GET IT.

I’ve cried on runs, laughed on runs, healed, grown, and come alive out there on the trails.
I’ve run through heartbreak, burnout, breakthroughs, and finish lines I once thought were impossible.

And the wild thing? It’s still teaching me.
How to be present.
How to breathe through hard things.
How strong I really am—inside and out.

And yeah… at races I run in a unicorn outfit.
Because why the hell not?

That outfit isn’t just about laughs (though it delivers those too)—it’s about joy.
It’s about making people smile, breaking the tension, and reminding myself that running doesn’t have to be serious to be real.
It’s about standing out, leaning into fun, and leading with heart.
Because I believe you can be both fierce and full of glitter!✨
You can chase big goals and make space for play.
You can run far, feel deep, and still be the weirdest one at the aid station—and damn proud of it.

So today, on Global Running Day, I’m not just celebrating miles…
I’m celebrating movement.
The kind that builds confidence.
The kind that saves your sanity.
The kind that reminds you that you are f^cking UNSTOPPABLE.

To every RUNNER out there moving your body in your own way—whether you’re sprinting up a mountain, shuffling through your neighborhood, or dancing in your kitchen in a cape—you’re part of something bigger.
A global, gritty, joy-fueled community that chooses to show up and keep going.

So lace up.
Run wild.
Wear the costume.
And never forget why you started.

Why do YOU run?
What has it given you that nothing else could?

F^CK IT FRIDAY with a little tough 🖤🖤

I had to unlearn something that had its claws in me deep:

That my worth was tied to DOING.
That rest was lazy.
That if I wasn’t grinding, I was falling behind.

Spoiler alert: That’s a BIG fat lie.

I had to burn that belief to the f^cking ground and rebuild from TRUTH.
And here’s what I know now:

🖤 You don’t have to earn rest.
🖤 You don’t have to prove your worth.
🖤 You just have to show the hell up—real, raw, and rooted in gratitude.

These days, staying grounded isn’t optional—it’s my survival strategy.

Gratitude.
Nature.
Trail time.
“Lift heavy s**t” sessions.
MOVEMENT.

Those are my anchors.
They keep me centered—in my business, my relationships, and my own growth.

And now?
I’m here to help other women do the same.

To get outside.
To get strong.
To get a little f^cking wild again.

To stop shrinking.
To stop apologizing.
To start leading from their inner badass.

Because let’s be honest—
This world doesn’t need more perfect women.
It needs more present, powerful, grounded AF women who know exactly who they are.

So lace up.
Step out.
Lift heavy.
Breathe deep.

You’re not lost—
You’re just a little sweaty and muddy.

And the trail?
She’ll guide you home.

Who’s coming with me?
Drop a 🔥🔥 below—I can’t wait to cheer for you!

PS…I almost convinced myself it was too late in the day to share this. Almost got in my own way. Here’s to showing up real, raunchy and raw! 🦾🖤♥️

🔥F^CK IT FRIDAY🔥
Let’s talk about the POWER of a good ol’ fashioned NO. You read that right….NO.

NO to shrinking ourselves to fit someone else’s comfort zone.

NO to chasing a number on the scale like it’s gonna hand us our worth.

NO to being the “nice girl” when our soul is screaming for boundaries.

NO to burnout being worn like a damn badge of honor.

NO to staying quiet just to keep the peace—especially when our truth is a f^cking mic drop.
💥 BOOM 💥

We’re done bending over backwards for rules we didn’t write.
We’re done being palatable.
We’re done with “just be grateful” when we know we’re made for more.
We’re not here to be small, silent, or sorry.
*stop saying-SORRY.

We’re here to take up space.
To speak loud.
To move bold.
To say F^CK IT to standards that never included us in the first place.

So this Friday, we raise a middle finger 🖕🏻 to anything that dims our light, and we step fully into our rebellion—with strength, with sass, and with zero apologies.

If you’re new here…we do F^CK IT FRIDAYS to call bulls**t on the societal standards that tell us to be smaller, quieter, and nicer—to burn down the fitness lies we were sold, and to say F^CK IT to diet culture, perfection pressure, hustle guilt, people-pleasing, and shrinking ourselves to fit into boxes we never asked for. This is your reminder: saying NO is a full-body YES to your power.
