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.
We ended part 1 as we arrived to the hospital in active labor, and my utter misconception of what that would look like. If you missed it please be sure to listen to 193 before tuning into this episode. If you don’t, I’ll just make clear again that this is MY STORY and no one […]
Courses I took: MamaSteFit Birth Prep, Pain Free Birth, Christian Hypnobirthing. Most important questions asked throughout all of these courses was: How I wanted to feel in my labor process? And values I wanted held in my birthing space. It was extremely important to me to not have fear or external pressure enter my birth […]
Lifting weights is the best. You know this is my philosophy – that weight lifting and movement is not a season, but something we ideally take part in until our days come to an end. Muscle mass is king, and mobility is arguably also king. We can get both of these via strength training. BUT, […]
How to find or choose the right business mentor. I was asked on IG a while back if I ever hired a business coach. The answer to that is no if we’re referring to a 1:1 biz coach. While I prefer 1:1 for a specific service like accounting or a funnel build out, or managing […]
I remember saying during my internship at University of Portland to the head coach, I don’t know sports. I don’t know positions, or what people should be doing.

To keep one Instagram account or split it? I could answer this question in one to two sentences so I assume this will be a shorter episode. But one I can refer people to over time becaaaauuussse…. This is one of the most common questions that I get, specifically in regards to Instagram. Often times […]
This is something that we go over extensively inside at the loading portion of a Pure PROgramming. But I think that it’s a really simple and effective conversation to have for trainees who are just following a program as well as a topic to revisit if you are a coach. It’s very easy to get […]
