I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.
Want more confident sales? That will likely be a by product of clarity on three things within your offer. Every entrepreneur wants to “sell with ease.” For sales to feel natural and un-forced. If you feel like you’re convincing people to work with you rather than simply communicating what it is you’re selling, today’s post […]

In the same boat as “I want to be toned but not bulky,” we have “I want to build ‘lean’ muscle.” First off – I get what this person desires: I believe it is to have the appearance of muscles at rest without carrying “too much” muscle (whatever that means to this human). But let […]

And if you want to categorize certain movements as “functional,” then I’d certainly consider the push up as one of those movements. You should […]
CrossFit gets a lot of cult like love and a lot of, frankly, ignorant hate. Some justified I am sure. In light of the recent CrossFit regional qualifiers, I asked my Instagram audience a few questions. The questions were aimed only at those who have consistently participated in CrossFit for 6 months or more. So […]
In my weekly reflections, I find myself repeating that I am grateful for “freedom” and “options” and “lifting weights.” It’s no secret that when we track and reflect, we see patterns, cycles.
