Heavenly birthdays never get easier. Our Mom would be 64 today.

Nothing prepares you for the day missing your mom becomes part of your everyday life. But if you knew how she lived, you would understand how we found a way to keep smiling.

If you still have your mom, never take that for granted. One day you may give anything just to hear her voice again.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom.
Still our greatest gift.
We love you.

I spent my 20s & 30s shrinking. At 40, I’m taking up space, booking the trip, wearing the damn bikini and living my best life! ✨

Next stop: back to Aruba to host Wellness Week #2 at this June! 🌴

I’m so excited to be going back to the place that reminded me how to feel like myself again.

My trip there last year was such a good reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is step away for a minute and fill your own cup back up.

Ocean dips, sweaty workouts, morning yoga, coffee dates, beach walks, island bike rides, the most delicious fresh food, belly laughs, and getting to play like a kid again. Equal parts wellness reset and pure joy.

If you’ve been craving a little sunshine, movement, connection, and time to focus on you... I can honestly say this is the kind of trip you never regret taking.🌺🌊🌴

Starting over at 40 isn’t a glow-up reel. It’s messy, lonely, humbling, and harder than people talk about.

I’m 6 weeks into rebuilding my life alone, and my inner critic and old patterns have tested every part of me.

More of what I’ve been doing soon.

But I won’t pretend it’s been easy or that every moment has felt inspiring.

I’ll never pretend that I’m here to be your life coach. I’m anything but.

I’m just like you, doing my best to start over and give myself a real chance at the life I know my mom would want for me.

And if you’ve been feeling like there has to be more than this, but you’re exhausted, stuck in your head, and not even sure where to begin... I see you.

Everything you’ve been through can’t be for nothing.

We’re not stuck. We’re rebuilding.

If you’re rebuilding alone and feel like no one else understands, I see you.

Save this for the day your inner critic gets loud.

And send it to the friend who’s quietly starting over too.

You are so far from alone. 💙✨

My therapist: you have a pattern of trying to fix damaged people

Me: this feels a little hypocritical

Needing energy to work out but needing to work out to get energy… not ideal, if I'm being honest

Been a little quiet on here. Not because I didn’t have things to say. My brain just thought I needed to organize 20,000 notes of my thoughts before I was ready to post again.

Anyway, turns out being ready is a myth.

Two weeks ago I started a 12-week reset for myself. Training, mindset, finances, habits, relationships, how I show up for myself… all of it.

I’m 40 and I’m tired of living in survival mode like it’s a personality trait.

So this chapter is a rebuild. A very real attempt to get my spark back instead of just waiting around for it to magically return.

More on the reset soon. For now, I’m just proud I posted this before talking myself out of it again.

If you’re in your starting over era too, pull up a chair. We’re just getting started 🤍👑

Some of you have forgotten what we stand for here, so here’s your reminder.
We care about humanity here. Period.
Discomfort doesn’t scare us.
Dehumanization does.

Yesterday was my 40th birthday. ☀️

Not only did I get to ring in my birthday watching two of my best friends get engaged, but I got to have a staycation with some of my closest friends. 2 full days filled with non-stop laughter and tears.

The best gift I could have ever asked for. 🥹

Tbh, I had grand visions about where I would be by the age of 40. But if there’s one truth I’ve learned abut life, it’s that things rarely go as planned.

That there is no “behind” in life because we are all on different journeys.
On completely different chapters.

But what does matter, no matter where you are, is that you don’t let timelines, comparison or expectations get in the way of actually living. Of celebrating all the goodness, joy, love and beautiful relationships in your life.

I cannot wait for what’s ahead this next decade - manifesting massive career milestones, more incredible adventures & of course, an epic love story 🥰

Leaving all my heartache and pain in my 30s to pave the way for nothing but magic in my 40s. And no matter what comes my way, I know I have the most incredible family and chosen family that will be by my side.❤️

Getting my spark back 🥹 Still on cloud 9 after the most magical trip to Aruba to help host their wellness week. Who wants to do one in the future?!

Some of my fav highlights:

☀️Getting to lead an amazing crew for some strength training classes at their incredible gym!
☀️ Being surrounded by the most amazing humans all week!
☀️ Getting some QT with my bestie
☀️ A sweet surprise from the hotel to celebrate my mom on the 10 year anniversary of her passing.
☀️ Finally getting some real R&R and me time
☀️ Enjoying being a big kid in the sun with all the hotels daily fun activities like water aerobics and beach volleyball!
☀️ Photoshoot on the beach - the ultimate hack to get out of your comfort zone and feel confident in your skin!

Feels so good to get my spark back again and already itching for my next adventure - where to next? 💃🏻

I didn’t become a trainer because I love fitness. I became a trainer because I know what it feels like to lose everything—and not recognize the person left behind. ❤️

Movement, for me, was never about aesthetics. It wasn’t about shrinking, sculpting, or striving to look a certain way. It was about surviving—and slowly reclaiming my strength.

It became my reminder that I’m still here. That I can do hard things.

That I deserve to feel joy again. Even if I have to fight for it.

Because fitness isn’t about the six-pack.

It’s about the life you get to live— because you’re well enough to live it.

What has movement taught you about strength, grief, or growth? 🙏🏻
