Time Under Tension… and Too Many Games of Uno 😆
|
Hey, It’s been a minute since I’ve landed in your inbox — life has been busy in a good way! Anthony and I are now proud parents to a nine- and seven-year-old (we officially celebrated last week 🎉), and I’ve been trying to soak up every ounce of summer with my girls. Here’s a peek at what life has looked like lately:
Honestly, I’ve also been carving out more quiet time in nature and trying to let some of my anxiety go. If you’ve been feeling this too — I see you. 💛 💪🏻 Training Update: Strong AF Summer + August ProgrammingWe are now in Week 5 of Strong AF Foundations, and my favorite part of this program is always getting to know the amazing women who trust me with their stories and believe in their body’s ability to heal and move better!

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.
