Lift and Breathe

For anyone who needs to see this message today...

To all the mothers in the world…

You are enough❕

I hope you feel seen, heard & loved.

Years ago, another mother said to me that motherhood is like watching a piece of your heart walk around outside of your body.

That resonates for me.

Whether you’re a mom to kids young or grown, a stepmom, a foster mom, without your mom, have a strained/no relationship with a living mom, or you’re a person who behaves like a mother to others…I see you. You are enough.

My kids helped me build my squat rack when It came. I use it every day. I could not have assembled it without their help. Never doubt that a young person or a small body can do everything to help you!

Grateful for them every damn day.

Flex it!

Before you walk up to that barbell (kettlebell/db/new skill, new complex/whatever) … say to yourself:

I’ve got this❕

Believe in yourself. That confidence will help you crush it!

It works. Trust me.

Self reflection after a hard chunk of a workout.

Keeping it real, here. Not glossy or shiny or camera ready.

Just me, honest, raw, breathing heavy after 128 snatches.

It doesn’t matter if you know what that is or not. It’s a kettlebell skill that’s explosive. A little like an art form, with its float, the breath, many integral components.

Start with self belief. Apply it when you are learning something new. You won’t get it right in the first try. You have to build failure tolerance. I’m steadily working on that.

1% better every day. Show up for yourself this month!!

They’re doing incredible work to support children with disabilities, to support women to raise their families and much more.

I knew I wanted to be involved from the moment she told her story. Please join me for Yoga on 12/1 and be part of this too! All proceeds will go to supporting their work!

"Comfort & growth can’t live in the same home!"

None of this is easy for me. That’s what I hope you’ll see.

I’m working the hardest I’ve ever worked this fall training with a new coach and small cohort of very strong, talented, determined coaches. I’m learning a ton, I’m grateful, but please don’t misunderstand…it is HARD!
