If you have followed me for a while, you know you can usually find me at UES on Saturday mornings. Today was the last Saturday as the studio is closing tomorrow. Ugh.

I took my first class in 2019 at a time when my life was in a massive transition and I was struggling mentally. I was leaving a job I was proud of. I grew a very successful office from scratch for an employer but had to leave because the culture was unbelievably toxic. I was a shell of myself. Classes at Rumble become my anchor. If I could get there and make it through a class, I could get through the tough place I was in-which I did.

The changes didn’t stop there. I grew a business while I worked full time, putting in some crazy long days. I went full time for myself in 2021 and never looked back. Then my mom got sick and well, you know. Through it all, my Saturday classes became my sacred time. They were where I took care of me-mentally and physically, alongside some amazing people. I will miss it so much, tears were definitely shed this morning!!

MOVE

BREATHE

CONNECT

These are the pillars of my business. There are a ton of reasons behind but in short-I firmly believe in taking care of yourself both physically and mentally and we can’t have true health without both. Connection is underrated medicine-both to self and others. It’s something I speak of and encourage daily. I think rumble resonated so much for me because classes felt so aligned with how I view fitness, health, and self care.

Find yourself a space that makes you feel taken care of.

Any recommendations for my suddenly free Saturday mornings??

Is this what a fairy tale looks like?

Not sure I would know. I’m always pretty rooted in reality.

But what does feel like a dream come true is the fact that trip reacquainted me with a side of myself that has been missing since my mom passed away.

Yes. I show up in business, in social settings etc but always with a feeling of not being myself deep down. And I know I am forever changed so I don’t expect a return of who I was “before”. But I was secretly willing some parts of me to make an appearance. It takes time they say….

A sense of wonder. JOY. Excitement. Adventure. Peace. Creativity. Soulfulness. Welcome back.

I feel like I can breathe a bit better.

The CRAZY part is that I second guessed my ability to handle this trip. I think nothing of getting on planes to random places. Loss is destabilizing. Even though I’ve been making adult decisions and doing adult things for quite some time, something about not having your mom around makes you feel like a lost kid. Nothing like navigating two foreign cities solo to get some swagger back.

Until the next adventure. Sometimes you have go in order to come back to yourself.

Book the trip. And let’s normalize talking about grief.

MUSIC. There is always a song in my head. I sing or hum along when I work out. I view life thru lyrics. I sang in the church choir for YEARS. I was part of an all county chorus that sang at the UN. My favorite thing growing up was to go to Tower Records and listen to all the new music. I’d use my babysitting or life guarding money to buy something and race home to listen and read along to the lyrics in the jacket. My love most definitely came from my parents. The record collection we got rid of when we cleaned out the house was insane.

Needless to say, music is part of my soul (as if you didn’t know based on all the musical theater I see).

Music heals, inspires, teaches, connects, gets us through.

Last night I saw at a sold out show . I was in a row of people of all ages. We shared our favorite songs and how we became fans. For two hours, Chris and his band ROCKED. He made it known he wasn’t going to talk much. He wanted to make sure he just played music. And we all sang along. Talk about a lesson in letting your product speak for itself.

His song Starting Over (it’s the video and I’m sorry for the quality), came out as I was still working full time and building a business. It was on repeat as I was getting ready to take the leap. While it’s about rolling the dice on romantic love, I made it about loving myself so much that I took a chance for me. And it got me through the transition. Here I am 4 years later. Hearing it live was one of my top musical moments! Truth be told, I work hard to have moments like last night. It’s what feeds me. I left sweaty and happy.

Find the things you love and do them. And always sing out loud-stimulates the rest and digest part of your nervous system.

My lovelies, wherever you are in your journey is a beautiful place to be. There’s no rush. Life’s not a race. I know I needed this reminder and I have a feeling I’m not alone!

Happy Monday and have a wonderful week!

And if you don’t know the band , you should. Looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks when they open for . Two gems in one night.

And speaking of races, fall marathon training is in full swing. As the temperatures rise, so does your weekly mileage. It’s always good to have a on your team.

Love that I just combined two things I love-music and treating runners!
