Anchor to Life

07/08/2025

I spent the 4th of July doing two things I love: celebrating with neighbors and talking Pilates. 🎆❤️

Here’s the truth: menopause can feel like a firecracker going off in your nervous system. But when you move with purpose—and surround yourself with a community that gets it—you can feel grounded, strong, and seen.

That’s why I show up in the Windward community and online. Not just to teach movement. But to help women feel empowered in their bodies again.

🎯 One key tool? Sprint Interval Training (SIT).
Short, powerful bursts. Long-lasting benefits for metabolism, muscle, and mood—especially in menopause.

💥 No, we’re not running wind sprints on Day 1. But we can build the foundation to get there safely.

Check out my recent blog post to learn more about building community and SIT training! https://www.anchortolife.com/post/pilates-community-and-why-i-m-talking-about-hiit-in-menopause

Let’s move, connect, and thrive.

Independence is a Practice, Not a Holiday

Independence isn’t fireworks and cookouts.
It’s not once a year.

It’s daily mobility, muscle maintenance, and micro-decisions that keep you free in your body.

So this July 4th, before you raise your glass—ask yourself:
✅ Can you get up off the floor without your hands?
✅ Climb stairs without the railing?
✅ Put your carry-on in the overhead without wincing?

This blog is a gentle nudge—and a loving challenge:

What Does Freedom Look to You in Midlife?

Is it sipping wine in Tuscany?
Running your own business?
Or maybe… it’s being able to pick up your suitcase and lift it into the overhead bin without help.

This Independence Day, I’m redefining “freedom.”
➡️ Freedom is getting off the floor without your hands.
➡️ It’s alternating your feet as you climb stairs.
➡️ It’s trusting your body to carry you through life, not tiptoe around it.

Mobility is the often-overlooked ingredient in that recipe.
It’s not flashy—but it’s foundational.

Let’s talk about what freedom really looks like in midlife.

I’ll be honest—mobility work is NOT my favorite.

Give me glutes and hamstrings over hip circles any day… but I’ve learned (the hard way) that if you don’t move your joints, your joints will move you—to the couch, the chiropractor, or worse.

Mobility is what keeps us independent.
It’s the difference between aging actively and losing ground quietly.

🎯 In my latest blog, I break down:
• What mobility really is
• How it prevents the slow fade of independence
• And why your ability to move well is your true freedom

💥 Empowerment vs. Exhaustion – Midlife Edition

This is the face of a woman doing mobility work… not military drills.
Because let’s be honest—empowerment doesn’t always look like push-ups.
Sometimes it looks like foam rolling and muttering, “Why is this so spicy?” 😅

Especially when menopause turns 2AM into your new brainstorming hour.

This week’s blog is all about giving yourself permission to pause, breathe, and find strength in the slower stuff.
✨ Strength. Sass. Sleep. All in one place.

✨ Real Talk Post ✨

I recently had the honor of being featured in the She Is ATL project—celebrating women 40+ who are rewriting the rules.

Yes, the lighting was great. Yes, I was barefoot. And YES, I may have let one slip during breathwork earlier that day (as one does). 😅

But here’s the real story:
Empowerment isn’t about the photo. It’s about showing up, breathing through the chaos, and choosing yourself—even when you’re tired, sweaty, or unsure.

💬 So here’s your CTA today:
Tell us—what does strength or empowerment look like for you right now?
Is it getting on the mat? Setting a boundary? Asking for help? Napping?

👇 Drop a gif, a sentence, or a sweaty selfie below. Let’s show each other what real strength looks like—in all its messy, midlife glory.

🌀 NEW BLOG POST: What Does Embodiment Really Mean?

Hi friends! 👋
I just dropped a new blog post that digs into a topic close to my core (literally): embodiment.

This week’s inspiration came from a yoga class, Mary Oliver poetry, and my time at the Alpharetta Farmer’s Market (thank you to the sweet client who brought me flowers! 💐).

In the post, I unpack:
✨ What embodiment actually means as we age
🧘‍♀️ How Pilates + breath help us stay present
💬 A beautiful quote from Mary Oliver
💡 PLUS: A short seated breathwork video and a free values worksheet

👉 Give it a read here:

I’d love to know—what does embodiment look like for you right now? Is it a daily walk? A full breath? Showing up for your body with kindness?

Let’s talk about it below. ⬇️
