I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on my presence.
I’ve been hearing my daughter’s voice in my ear:
“Mom, will you be home tomorrow morning to do my hair?”
Lately, the answer was often “no.”
And every time I said it out loud, it crushed me.
She’s in fifth grade. Hair matters.
But it was never really about her hair.
It was about me being there.
And every time I wasn’t, she felt it. I felt it.
Yet, my presence wasn’t wasted. It was being given somewhere else, with real intention and real purpose.
I’m fortunate to feel such a pull on my heart. I am surrounded by pockets of purpose at every corner I turn. But sometimes, when you confuse availability for impact, your internal compass begins to glitch. 🧭
Presence doesn’t start with being louder, busier, or more available. It starts with capacity. And capacity is created through self-care. 🧘🏻‍♀️
I’m realizing that my greatest impact isn’t always the loudest one.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s small.
Sometimes it looks like guessing my way through a fishtail braid. 🎀
Do you ever feel pulled between something you love and something you love? ✨ What a gift.
Hold space for yourself and you’ll know exactly where your presence is being called in that next moment. 🩵

I spent years running on empty, calling exhaustion “commitment,” and putting myself last in the name of love and responsibility.
But, I later realized my impact multiplies when I take care of myself first.
I became more present as a mother.
More patient at home.
More grounded as a leader.
More confident in my own voice.
Prioritizing myself makes me more available.
To love deeper.
To experience the moments more fully.
To lead better.
To give from a place of wholeness instead of depletion.
If you want to show up fully for the people you love most, show up for yourself first. the best version of yourself. Self-neglect doesn’t just hurt you, but it affects everyone around you. The version of you that’s healthy and ALIVE serves all. 🩵
That choice changes everything.✨

I wanted to stop a million times. Not just here in this moment, but in my fitness journey. Day one was hard. Day 17 was hard. Day 1,296 was hard.
Challenges will always come. Motivation will always drop. But, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed or that you’re not capable. ❌ It means you haven’t fully committed to the process of becoming. 🌱
Momentum stays steady in the presence of commitment.
From deciding, again and again, to support yourself even when the energy dips or the path feels unclear - momentum builds. 🎯
When you sense your motivation drop, simply pause - but don’t give up. Recenter. Commit to the version of you that is waiting to come alive. ✨ Ask yourself this question:
👉What does it cost me to stop choosing myself?👈
It may be hard, but giving up is harder. Keep going. 🩵

I made an intentional decision to leave Corporate America many years ago. The more I got to know myself, the clearer (and scarier…) my direction became. I was willing to risk the comfort of a steady paycheck for a future that felt more authentic to who I was.
Freedom.
Connection.
Impact.
Community.
Health.
PASSION.
Passion isn’t fluffy. It’s not a luxury. It’s not only reserved for the lucky. It lives within every single one of us - but only some of us slow down long enough to feel it. ✨And once you do, you protect it with your whole being.✨
Because when you realize that your passion fuels your energy, and your energy shapes the quality of your life, a passionless life stops being an option.
Perhaps you feel empty, disconnected, or even stuck right now. It’s not because you’re broken. It’s because something inside you is asking to be felt again. Begging, actually.
In 30 years, it’s not the to-do lists that you’ll remember. It’s your passion. 🩵
Feel it. Feed it. Protect it fiercely.⚡️

When you view food as medicine, eating healthy is no longer a chore. It’s an opportunity. But even then, this isn’t enough for most people. The knowledge is there, and even the desire - so what’s missing?
✨Vision.✨Knowing exactly how you want to feel and who you want to be 5, 10, 20, 30 years from now matters. A clear vision creates a calm belief. The belief that it’s possible. As I age, I want to my fit lifestyle to grow with me so I can live without barriers.
I want my grandkids to ask if Grandma is joining the family hike. 👵🏼 I want to dance with Ted to Whitney Houston far after my toes are wrinkled and worn. 💃🏻 I want to keep playing Twister with Clara so I can hear her giggles no matter our age. 🤸🏻 I want to spend my time doing what I love, not counting pain pills. 📚 I want to dance with Connor at his wedding. 🕺🏼 I want to be able to care for my parents if they need me. ❤️ I want to travel the world. 🌎 I want to laugh more than I complain. 🤭 I want to tie my own shoes. 👟 I want to move my living room furniture on a rainy Tuesday without asking for help. 🛋️ I want to experience as much as life is willing to offer me for as long as I can. 🌅 The big. The small. The burpees. 🔥All of it.
I take care of myself because I believe that version of me exists both now, and in the future. It’s not a vision anchored in hope. It’s a vision anchored in belief. When your vision is clear, making decisions and building new habits becomes easier. Confidence builds, the path becomes paved, and your North Star shines a little brighter. 🌟
What’s your vision for yourself?

Most vision boards start with what you want. Not mine.
This workshop starts with who you’re becoming.✨
Because clarity doesn’t come from cutting out pictures. It comes from slowing down long enough to understand why something matters to you in the first place. A heavy focus on the finish line strips you of the joy in the journey, and often leaves you feeling deflated and frustrated along the way.
🧠 Align & Design🎨 is a 2-part, 60-minute experience designed for anyone who feels a little stuck, uncertain, or ready for more intention in 2026.
🧠 Part 1: Alignment
Guided reflection to uncover your values, direction, and the deeper “why” behind your goals.
🎨 Part 2: Design
The vision board becomes the visual byproduct of that clarity, not the starting point.
Tranformation is my ultimate passion. The work of creating a space for people to think, feel, reflect, and reconnect with what actually matters, then helping them turn insight into intentional action. 👏🏻
If you’re craving clarity, direction, or a reset… this is for YOU. 🩵
And if you’re a leader or organization looking to create meaningful, purpose-driven experiences for your team, DM me! 💌
🗓️ Saturday, January 18th
⏱ 10:30-11:30am
📍
🎟️ Free | sign up in gym | all supplies included
💫 Come aligned. Leave clear. Can’t wait!

You can’t build a healthy dream in toxic soil. 🌱
 
There’s no vision board, New Year’s resolution, big audacious goal, or deepest desire that will see the light of day if your belief system doesn’t support it. 🎯
 
The soil in which we grow from begins with our belief system. Our beliefs shape what we tolerate, what we attract, and what we repeat. They determine the opportunity we see, or don’t see. ✨ The boundaries we set, or don’t set. ❌ The habits we create, or fall back into. ♾️ The people who support us, or drain us. 👯‍♀️ These thought patterns can be subtle, quiet, and sneaky, but leave monumental scars on our hearts that shape our entire life. ❤️‍🩹
 
“I’ll start when I feel more confident.”
“I’ve never been consistent before.” 
“Someone like me can’t do that.”
“I don’t have good genes.”
“That’s just how it works for us.” 
“But we have so much history together.”
“Saying ‘no’ would create more problems for me.”
“I’m too old for that now.”
“People won’t take me seriously.” 
“It could be worse. I should be grateful.” 
“I’m a Mom now. That’s just the way it is.”
Sound familiar? 😕
Been there. Thought that.

These familiar patterns are comfortable, but don’t position you for success.
First, tend to the soil. 🪏 Your goals will thank you. 🩵

These ladies deserve a permanent spot on the grid! 👏🏻In 2025, four incredible humans celebrated ✨FIVE YEARS✨ with me at Burn Boot Camp. As a small business owner, this milestone means more to me than any P&L statement or award.
Loyalty like this isn’t owed - it’s earned. I don’t take that lightly, nor can I take all the credit. Their leaders foster strong relationships and create a meaningful work experience. When this happens, my vision comes alive and my heart dances a little extra. 💃🏻
Thank you for choosing to stay.
Thank you for choosing to grow.
Thank you for helping build something that truly matters. 🩵
Today, I’m celebrating all of you all over again! 🥳Thank you. 🙏🏼

Week 5 is finallllly here! I’m loving this. This week’s set of writing prompts are all about integration. ✨ That is, taking what you learned, claiming what matters, and choosing how you move forward into 2026. Gather what matters most and release the rest. ✌🏼👏🏻
I’m ready for you 2026! ✍🏻
Did you miss these writing prompts each week? It’s never too late to start. Simply start from the first week and begin where you are. The magic is in the action, not in the flip of a new calendar. 😉
P.s. New blog posted! Link in bio. My kids slept in sooooo late yesterday and so mama had extra time to write. My favorite mornings! ☕️
