“Before we take a stand, sometimes we must take a seat.”🖤✌🏻🖤✌🏻🖤 Stillness.Silence.Seated.Listening.Hearing.Empathizing.Loving. I have been trying to find the words to say, to portray all that is in my heart and soul. This, all this chaos, all this hatred, this uncertainty, all that is going on in the world is certainly not all mine toContinue reading “Sit”

the journey continues…
Throughout the years, fitness, in all forms, Beachbody, CrossFit, yoga, running, bootcamp….has brought me through some of the darkest times of my life. And the people I have met through these experiences are forever etched on my heart. There is something powerful and scientifically proven how movement affects our bodies and minds and souls.

M I N D F U L ⠀⠀It was a beautiful weekend and I have so many things to feel grateful for, but it was also messy and hard to some degree. I’ll spare all the details, but what is important is the lessons that come through – “BE MINDFUL” was the message I heardContinue reading “mindful”

Something that does not move us at our core. And sometimes, like in my life, there is a moment when we look inContinue reading “our true essence”

And depending on the moon phases, hormones, moods of those around me (I’m a total empath;Continue reading “release & grounded”
