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.
If you’re planning a trip to Portugal, I hope it includes Porto. Porto is an old port town in northern Portugal. The city itself is beautiful to look at, it has mouth watering food options, and the people are welcoming. What’s not to like? I’d suggest staying near the city center if feasible. You can […]
TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG? I purposely have this following the episode where I say if you’re in the online space you need to be better at writing. Because in some aspects, yes, I think blogging is dead, or is slowly dying. Perhaps it’s just a phase. It’s not dead in A LOT of […]
TRAVEL GUIDE + PHOTO DIARY OF LISBON. While I expected to love Porto, Lisbon stole my heart. It was quainter, and had a warmer, more welcoming feel than I thought it would. I hope you can tell from the photos how charming it is for being considered a large city. We had three full days […]
THE ONE THING I SUGGEST YOU WORK ON AS AN ONLINE BIZ OWNER. This episode is really two things I think online entrepreneurs should always be working on, but even if you know one…it doesn’t do you any good if you can’t do the other. We communicate in the online world, MOSTLY via writing. Now […]
We didn’t even hear about Angkor Wat until we were in Thailand at an elephant sanctuary. One of our group members had been recently and was comparing it to Machu Picchu. Not that they were same, but that Angkor Wat was amazing in a different way. Knowing how much we loved Machu Picchu, we started […]
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST EXERCISES. There are infinite exercises in the world. And if an exercise is any form of movement, then the choices are, quite LITERALLY, infinite. The issue with this is that it can be overwhelming when you need to choose only 5-6 exercises for a lift and there are HUNDREDS to […]
WE TOOK SEVERAL DAY TRIPS FROM HOI AN. Hoi An is a perfect central hub for exploring the surrounding areas. And you know we like a road trip. You’ve got mountains, temples, the golden bridge, ancient sanctuaries and more. That about covers the locations in today’s post. It was so hot the day we went […]
ARE YOU REALLY HEALTHY? Today will challenge your view of health and it might just ruffle a few feathers but what’s new? I am not here to make you feel good. Or for us to agree on everything. I am here to challenge you and raise the standard. So here we are. This topic came […]
I WOULD GLADLY LIVE IN HOI AN AGAIN. It’s the perfect little city for vacation goers or travelers. You’ve got the beach (which was way nicer than I expected), surrounding mountains, neighboring city – Danang, and the adorable old town of Hoi An. After much research, Nate and I knew we had little interest in […]
IF YOU’RE HUMAN, YOU’VE EXPERIENCED A SLUMP. I have wanted to speak on this topic for a long time. And I think that’s partially because sometimes I feel like people think I don’t experience slumps, or low motivation. Which is hilarious because motivation is NOT how people become successful in any area of life. Discipline […]
