What a year!
Around this time last year, Matt and I were just beginning the journey of starting Movement Redefined—excited, nervous, hopeful, and unsure all at once. I thought building a business would be the hardest challenge of 2025. Life had other ideas.
I’m a planner. I like checklists and clear paths forward. And for a while, everything was clicking—Movement Redefined was growing, family life was full, I even won my age group in a triathlon.
Then life reminded me that no plan is foolproof.
A serious injury for me. A traumatic injury for my son. Surgeries, hospitals, rehab, uncertainty. The kind of moments that stop you in your tracks and force you to slow down, reflect, and lean hard on the people around you.
And yet… even in the hardest moments, this year gave us so much. Healing. Perspective. Deeper gratitude. A community that showed up. Lessons I’ll carry forever.
I’m sharing this not for sympathy, but as a reminder: life will always throw curveballs. Growth isn’t about avoiding them—it’s about how you respond, having others to lean on, and what you choose to take with you on the other side.
I’m grateful for my family, my friends, my partnership with Matt, and every single person who has supported Movement Redefined this year. I’m choosing love, resilience, and growth—even when it’s hard.
Cheers to an unexpected 2025.
And cheers to whatever 2026 brings.
