I have to say, if I had known these angels on Earth were a thing back when I would have told everyone to hire one.�� I know two women who are in the medical industry (not involved in birth directly) who swear that having a doula made… https://t.co/HG42qQWX82

I remember when I was teaching group fitness and one of the members said she lifted almost every day on her European vacation while staying at a hotel.

Some people definitely need their morning lift session and I think it’s great that that worked for he… https://t.co/6hBGb0Rbmv

Today is International Women's Day!

This year's #iwd2023 theme is #EmbraceEquity

From the IWD website (great resources there):

"Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have.

A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA.

ALRIGHT TEAM, HERE WE GO.

I don't normally do any type of sales, but I am going to do one for my 41st.

DISCLAIMER: PLEASE ALWAYS GET DOCTOR’S CLEARANCE BEFORE STARTING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM DURING PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM

NEW MONTH AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH. #41

It's been a minute since I have done an intro post and since it's Aquarius season, I thought it was a good time. ♒

I'm getting a little sentimental.

Something no one tells you about starting your own business is how lonely it can feel.

Even if you're working with clients, not having coworkers and people to bounce things off of is a weird thing to get used to becaus… https://t.co/dO5MoZlGrq

#WorldMentalHealthDay

I never knew that this day existed until I started volunteering with AFSP in 2013 - 5 years after I lost my brother to suicide.

I don't think it is a coincidence that I have been honored to hold space for clients that live with a… https://t.co/wm284yHJme

Make it make sense.

One thing I didn’t love about teaching large group fitness classes was that I had a very small amount of time to troubleshoot a movement.

It’s really hard to coach a (lunge, squat, deadlift) in that amount of time and keep your eye … https://t.co/QlmwnrEg9k

I was out of touch with my body for years.

What does this mean?

I have been working out steadily since my mid-twenties, but it wasn’t until the last 2 years that I really started getting in touch with my body.

Once I worked with @antidote-therapies an… https://t.co/YeoTYid2xy

Genetics! Let's talk about it.

When I first started out in the industry, I really thought that it was 80/10/10. 80% nutrition, 10% movement and 10% genetics.

WRONG.

The National Strength and Conditioning Assoc. released a study in 2020 that stated tha… https://t.co/ZBWpEa35Fb

#InternationalDayofFriendship

While I am off wandering in the woods this weekend with some friends, I wanted to take a moment and share my thoughts about friendship.

🤰Since reproductive rights have become front and center in my work (even more so the past month), I feel like it's important to share information that pertains to pregnant folks you may/may not know about...and it just so happens to be Cord Blood Awa… https://t.co/LmB8RZjJHA

This former Floridian loves summertime in Ohio.

But somewhere along the journey throughout the past 2.5 years, I haven't been craving it like I used to.

It's safe to say that my coaching has evolved over the past 5 years I have been in business.

Thankfully, I feel like we're seeing a bit less of the weight loss/transformation media and a shift to embracing oneself and knowing that our value is not deter… https://t.co/6O0p7zi6uq

When I went to Chicago in May, I swung by my favorite bar while I waited for my husband to meet me from a business trip to Houston.

I remembered this bar had the best bathroom lighting from 4 years ago, (P.S. I was a film major #nerd) so I snapped a pho… https://t.co/dNKJC5SatR

It's been a minute since I have posted on my feed.

TBH, my capacity for writing and creating has been low lately.
