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.

Let’s talk 10k months… For some reason, probably due to business coaches in the industry, the desire for or standard of reaching 10k months is a thing for health and fitness professionals. Wanting to reach your first or multiple 10k months is not a bad thing. It’s not a good thing. It’s just, a thing. […]
If you followed me for any amount of time, it’s probably not news to you that I love planning and reflection. They both tend to keep me moving towards an actual goal versus letting life happen to you. They give us intention. Planning without reflection can be pretty useless for most people. So know that […]
People (enter trainers, coaches, physical therapists, body builders, and strongmen) toss the term “progressive overload” about in the absence of context for the larger audience.
