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.
Truthfully I think pregnancy and witnessing my body as it goes through a pretty intense transformation as brought up more reflection on seasons I’ve experienced and pursued in the past. And that has me thinking more about things like physique and the scale than maybe I normally would. So, while I don’t sell physique changes […]
The toes to bar was popularized by CrossFit but is not a new exercise by any means. This movement has been used to strengthen the core in gymnastics style forms of exercise for decades. Often this would be performed on a wooden ladder which provides back support. This either makes the exercise easier as you […]
Your Instagram profile is yours. And you can do as you well please with it. We know instagram is always coming out with (and taking away) features. So, at the time of this post, instagram is allowing creators to pin three posts to the top of their feed. They stay here indefinitely, no matter what […]
This is going to be long I am sure because real life episodes always are. They’re a reflection of sorts for me, and I am long winded. So, bare with me on this pregnancy episode. In full transparency, this comes out a month after my due date but was batched recorded at least one month […]

When can you expect to start making sales online? In 2022 I really began asking and inquiring with people who had purchased my programs. I asked three different things. And I suggest that you ask these three things as well. Where are they found you, how long they’ve been in your audience for, and where […]
Chicago far exceeded my expectations – it’s a truly special city. We had purchased a truck that was being manufactured in Michigan, so we make the trip to Chicago as a little pitstop. And frankly, it was perfection. This post is a mash up, but pretty jam-packed with what we would suggest you do in […]
In the world of weight lifting there are many tools we can use as accessories to make our training easier. That is generally the purpose of a “training accessory.” They take the load off, help out a weak link, or make our movements more efficient. These accessories fill gaps we might have. Take from these […]
