The Unstoppable Rebel Collective

02/11/2026

Celebrate with us.
THE COMEBACK AT 95
Sat, Feb 28 • 95 Thompson St • Asheville

Helene flooded our community and our gyms were hit hard, but it didn’t finish us. We kept going. This isn’t just a grand re-opening—it’s a CNF x URC x FFWL comeback story.

When everything got turned upside down, Coach Luis of Caffeine N Fitness gave Unstoppable Rebel Collective and Feel Fit With Laurel a place to land, train, and keep loving on our fitness family while we rebuilt. We became one team in a season that could’ve broken us, and the next step felt obvious: we move forward TOGETHER.

So yes—this is our small business way of sticking it to Helene and celebrating a win that’s bigger than new walls and fresh paint. This is about community, resilience, and the people who kept showing up.

Schedule:
9:00 AM — Workout (optional… but worth it)
10:00 AM–12:00 PM — Open House + Bites & Boost brunch + visit with local vendors and businesses who have supported along the rebuild.

Tag your people.
Share this to your stories.
Comment “I’M IN” 🦾 if you’re coming.

Flooded, not finished.
Rebuilt together.
Built different.

The COMEBACK can be better than the setback
🗓️ Sat, Feb 28
📍 95 Thompson St • Asheville

Helene flooded our community and flipped everything upside down—but it didn’t finish us.

Coach Laurel and I shared space and kept showing up while we rebuilt, and Coach Luis graciously opened his gym, his community, and his heart when we needed it most.

2025 became the year we ALL rebuilt. Now we’re coming home to 95 Thompson St—stronger, closer, and BUILT different.

We’re coming back as family, community, bigger and STRONGER!

Join us to CELEBRATE!

Schedule:
9:00 AM — Workout (optional… but worth it)
10:00 AM–12:00 PM — Open House + Bites & Boost (potluck brunch)

Pause for a second and read this.
This is what NEVER GIVING UP looks like—even when quitting would’ve been easier.

Oct ’21 we sold everything and moved into a camper.
May ’22 we bought land.
2023 brought health scares, setbacks, and a whole lot of hurry and wait.
April ’24 we finally found our builder (after going through 6) and closed on our construction loan the day before Hurricane Helene hit.

That BITCH of a storm took my gym and rocked our community.

That could’ve been the end.
But I wasn’t done. We weren’t done. Not even close.

2025 became the year of REBUILD—my gym, our home, ourselves and our community.

After 4+ years, we’re finally here… still in shock and soaking up all the FIRSTS!

First coffee at home ☕️
First sunrise + sunset from the porch 🌅
First homemade meals + cinnamon rolls
First cheers 🥂
First baths
First ten loads of laundry in real machines (these sexy beasts)
First vacuum with our 26.5-year-old Rainbow (still kickin’)
First p**p 💩 (camper life—IYKYK)
FIRST 8-ft 🌲 with a homemade stand 🤩
First overnight guests—our son + his girlfriend
First Christmas here, together 🎄with family-a dream!
And watching Dylan finally settle in—still confused, still perfect 🐾 and loving all the sunspots!

And NO—we aren’t lucky.
We worked our asses off for this. Through fear, loss, and showing up anyway. We fought for this.

To my clients—thank you for your patience, flexibility, and for supporting me as a human through a really big season. 🖤

And to our landlord-neighbors and most importantly FRIENDS, Stuart & Jessica Greene — thank you for letting us camp/live next to you for 4+ years after we said “1–2 years.” 😳 Your grace and big hearts made this possible.

This season hits different. What a fabulous way to end 2025!
So I’ll be checking out for a bit to live this season fully.

I’ll see you in 2026—with more heart, more strength, more loving on my clients and this incredible community we’re building with Caffeine N Fitness - Coach Luis and Feel Fit with Laurel, more F**k It Fridays, and fully owning who I’ve become.

Same heart.
Unapologetically UNSTOPPABLE!
Coach Tera ♥️🦾🖤

Love you babe 🖤♥️

We have BIG news — we’re officially teaming up and moving into a NEW space TOGETHER! 💥

Coach Luis and I are joining forces at 95 Thompson St. and Feel Fit with Laurel will be right there with us too!

Three coaches.
One space.
One community.

This is the fresh start we’ve been working toward, and we can’t wait to welcome you in.

This week we’re deep in cleaning, painting, and moving mode to get everything ready. If you’ve got an hour to spare or want to be part of the “before” story, we’d be so grateful for the help.

Roll some paint, lift some boxes, bring the good vibes — it all makes a huge difference.
Text us if you want to jump in!

And for anyone who’s asked how to support: with the move comes added expenses like new flooring, replacing and upgrading equipment, and building the space out. If you’re in a place to contribute, we appreciate it more than you know. Just reach out and we’ll send you the link — no pressure at all.

Your support, energy, and trust already mean everything.

New home.
New energy.
Same heart. ❤️

Let’s build this next chapter together.

Coach Luis
Coach Tera

Strength isn’t built in the spotlight — it’s built in the moments no one sees.

In the quiet.
In the comeback.
In the decision to keep going when it would’ve been easier to quit.

You’ve been training for this version of you all along.

Keep showing up.
You’re not just strong — you’re unbreakable.

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. 💥
