Can I be real with you for a second? It is SO easy to lose yourself in motherhood and a career. The working-and-momming, working-and-momming loop just… swallows you. And somewhere in my 40s, I caught myself wondering: who the f*ck even am I anymore? Here's what I remembered: I've been an athlete my whole life. Sports are how I've always connected with people—it's where I feel most like ME. So this year I did something just for me and picked up a paddle. 🎾 Honestly? Best decision I've made all...

Some of you this will speak to. Maybe even for. Today my youngest turns 8. EIGHT. I'm in my feels, so I am going to write from there. Fair warning: some of you might not love what I'm about to say. But I have a feeling that for others, it'll speak to you, maybe even for you. That's who I'm writing to today. Here's something I don't say out loud often: I was NOT the girl who dreamed of getting married and becoming a mother. It wasn't even on my radar. I thought I'd have a life full of the...

I have shared this before but back in the winter, I was feeling pretty meh. (As often happens during those cold, dreary Massachusetts months!) Momming and running a business online can feel lonely AF at times, and now that my girls are a bit older, I actually have more time for myself—but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. So, I signed up for group pickleball lessons at NEPC Middleton. I’d never played pickleball or tennis before, but I figured, why not give it a shot? I’ve had SO MUCH FUN and...

Let’s talk hip shifting. This might be the most overlooked movement skill that women skip in strength training… and honestly? It’s one of the most powerful tools I use with my clients to relieve low back pain, glute tightness, pelvic floor tension, and hip stiffness. Most strength programs never address it—and I learned that the hard way 😅 If your hips feel like bricks...If your low back is constantly trying to do all the work…If your glutes feel “tight” but never actually do their job… Then...

Last week Tater turned 13! Tater is my first baby. As I have learned through our time together, he's definitely my soul dog 💛 Anthony and I rescued him when he was just 6 months old, and he’s been by my side ever since. He came to work with me in the city as a puppy, was in our wedding, sensed I was pregnant IMMEDIATELY, and was by my side through both of my pregnancies and the loss of my sister. The world's most patient dog, the food sniper, the humper, the "in the middle of the night bed...

This past week I sent my 7 and 9 year old off on their first day of 2nd and 4th grade. The bus came back, they got off safely, and I was able to exhale a little. Not every mom was that fortunate. It’s no wonder moms are anxious—it’s hard NOT to carry unnecessary tension in our bodies! If I could teach all women ONE thing when it comes to strength training and their pelvic floor, it would be how to hinge well. Why? Because when you learn to hinge… You protect your low back (instead of...

If you’ve ever thought… “Why does my back ache after squats?” “Why am I leaking when I deadlift heavy?” “Why does my core still feel weak even though I’m strong?” The missing link isn’t MORE core exercises. It’s HOW you’re breathing and how your ribcage + pelvis are stacked when you move. Here’s the breakdown (and I’ve got 3 short videos for you below to SHOW you what I mean): 1️⃣ Your ribcage + pelvis have to STACK. If they’re out of alignment, your diaphragm can’t do its job and your core +...

A couple weeks ago, I joined my good friend Jordan Syatt on his podcast. And the response has been incredible. Women from all over have been writing in to share their stories: “I almost cried a couple times. I felt seen.” “I finally feel encouraged that I can improve things without having surgery.” “Listening to you made what I am experiencing feel less humiliating.” “I’ve been trying to keep up with everyone—and that’s exactly what got me here.” “I have been having so much trouble with...
