I so love seeing God's beauty painted in a sunset (or sunrise). I am also a big fan of folks with creative skills! One of our YMCA members designed this sticker and I am blessed to have a few in my possession now!! Sometimes one more set is actually getting back on your journey and completing the first set again (and that's okay).

Our family had a massive blessing from God. We moved into a new home on 9/23 and it's been such a joy. We pray to use this home for His glory, to bless others and to steward this gift well!

This was my view from my morning devotional spot in my new office. May I never take for granted the beauty and light of the One True Son. ✝️✝️✝️

Sometimes you know change is coming.

You can see it on the horizon.

You know things are about to look different, but you're not quite there yet.

That's where I am right now.

Our family is in the middle of a pretty big transition, and this week is going to bring a whole lot of change.

I'm excited.

I'm a little overwhelmed.

I'm making plans while knowing that some of those plans will probably change.

And I'm reminding myself that **transition is a season, too.**

We don't always get to move neatly from “before” to “after.”

Sometimes there's a whole lot of *in between.*

And I think that's true in midlife as well.

You may sense that something is changing before you fully understand what it means.

Your body feels different.

Your priorities are shifting.

Your energy isn't what it used to be.

Your children are growing and changing.

Your work or relationships may be entering a new season.

You may not know exactly what the next chapter looks like yet.

**That's okay.**

You don't have to have the whole map.

Sometimes you just need to take the next step, stay curious, and trust that you'll figure out the rest as you go.

This week, I'm going to practice that.

Less trying to control every detail.

More adapting.

More noticing.

More grace.

And hopefully a little laughter along the way. 😂

Because sometimes the best way to embrace a new season is simply to **be willing to enter it.**

Here's to whatever is waiting on the other side of the transition. 🤍

19/09/2026

There is something I wish more women knew about midlife:

**You don't have to figure it all out alone.**

You don't have to know exactly why your body feels different.

You don't have to have the perfect workout routine.

You don't have to know what to eat every single day.

You don't have to navigate changing energy, recovery, strength, or body composition by yourself.

And you certainly don't have to shame yourself into becoming the woman you think you're “supposed” to be.

Sometimes what we need isn't another plan.

It's **support.**

And support can look different for all of us.

For me, sometimes it looks like this hoodie reminding me:

**Train Hard. Pray Harder.** 🙏🏼💪🏼

Sometimes it looks like the fellow lifters I see at the gym—the people who are putting in the work right alongside me.

And sometimes it's the women who show up for my Saturday classes at the YMCA. They may come for the workout, but there's something pretty special about the encouragement, laughter, and community that happens when we keep showing up together.

That's support, too.

You don't have to do this perfectly.
You don't have to do it alone.
And you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.

Sometimes you just need people who will **show up with you.**

That's one of the things I want to create through My Embraced Life—a place where women can be supported as they navigate this season, build strength, nourish themselves, and learn to embrace the woman they're becoming.

And honestly, **I'm walking this journey, too.**

I don't have every season figured out.

But I believe deeply that we are stronger when we don't walk through them alone. 🤍

For a long time, women have been taught that midlife is something to **fight.**

Fight the weight gain.
Fight the changing body.
Fight the wrinkles.
Fight the hormones.
Fight the loss of muscle.
Fight the aging process.

What if we tried something different?

What if we learned to **embrace this season instead?**

And yes…sometimes embracing midlife looks like getting stronger, nourishing your body well, and learning how to adapt to its changing needs.

And sometimes it looks like **posing with your daughter's sloth stuffy and being completely ridiculous.** 😂🦥

Because I don't want to just help women *manage* midlife.

I want us to remember that we're allowed to **have fun in it, too.**

That's the heart behind something I've been creating for women in midlife:

**The Embracing Midlife Experience.**

A high-touch, personalized coaching experience designed to help you navigate this season with greater strength, confidence, nourishment, and intention.

Not another diet.

Not a “get your old body back” program.

Not a punishment-based workout plan.

Instead, we'll look at **you**—your body, your movement, your nutrition, your goals, your changing needs, and the life you're actually living.

We'll build strength.

We'll talk about nourishment.

We'll make sense of the changes you're experiencing.

We'll create sustainable habits that support your life rather than take it over.

And we'll do it with **grace, not perfection.**

Because I don't believe you need to become the woman you were 20 years ago.

I believe you can become **stronger, wiser, more confident, and more fully yourself** in the season you're in now.

And maybe a little sillier, too. 😉

I'm relaunching the founing cohort for "Stronger in 7: The Foundations Reset." This is a seven week virtual group strength training for women who are ready to embrace midlife with strength, grace and purpose.

If you've been wondering whether there's a different way to approach midlife…

**There is.**

And I'd love to tell you about it. 🤍

Maybe you planned to work out four days this week.

Then work happened.

Or your kid needed you.

Or you traveled.

Or you didn't sleep well.

Or your body simply said, **“Not today.”**

So what happens next?

This is where I think we need a different definition of consistency.

Consistency doesn't mean doing the exact same thing every week.

It means **continuing to care for yourself—even when the plan has to change.**

Four workouts becomes two.

A full strength session becomes 20 minutes.

The gym becomes a walk.

Your usual routine becomes something completely different.

And that's okay.

**Adapt. Don't abandon.**

You don't have to throw the whole week away because Monday didn't go as planned.

You don't have to wait until next month—or next Monday—to begin again.

You can make the next best choice right where you are.

That's sustainable wellness.

And that's especially important in midlife, when our bodies, schedules, responsibilities, and energy can all be changing at once.

**The goal isn't perfection.
The goal is learning how to keep showing up for yourself.**

One of the hardest things about midlife?

Realizing that what used to work…might not work anymore.

The workouts you used to love may leave you feeling more depleted.

The way you used to eat may no longer feel good.

Your recovery may take longer.

Your energy may be less predictable.

And sometimes our first response is:

**“I just need to try harder.”**

But what if trying harder isn't the answer?

What if the answer is **adapting**?

Midlife asks us to become better listeners.

To notice what our bodies are telling us.

To adjust our movement.

To prioritize recovery.

To nourish ourselves differently.

To stop measuring ourselves against a version of ourselves from 10, 20, or 30 years ago.

You don't need to punish your body into cooperating.

You can learn to **work with it.**

That's not giving up.

That's growing wiser.

And honestly? I think there's something incredibly empowering about that.

This hotel fitness center might not look like much, but it represents something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately:

**You’re not starting over. You’re adapting.**

With work travel and a schedule that has looked very different lately, my normal workout routine hasn’t always been possible.

So I’ve had to make some choices.

Like intentionally choosing a hotel with a fitness center I know I’ll actually use.

Like carving out 30 minutes before or after a busy workday.

Like letting go of the idea that my workout has to look exactly the way it does at home.

This is intentional strength.

Not perfection.
Not punishment.
Not “making up” for missed workouts.

Just making movement fit into the season of life I’m actually living.

And maybe that’s a lesson many of us need in midlife.

You might have gained weight.
Your energy may have changed.
Your body may feel different.
Your schedule may look nothing like it used to.

You might be tempted to think:

**“I need to get back to where I was.”**

But what if you don't?

What if you could move forward instead?

You aren't starting over.

You're starting with everything you've learned about yourself along the way.

You know more about your body.
You know more about what you enjoy.
You know what doesn't work for you anymore.
You know that punishment isn't sustainable.
You know that perfection isn't the goal.

So let's build from here.

Let's build strength for **this** body.
Let's create movement that supports **this** season.
Let's nourish the woman you are **now.**

You don't have to become who you used to be.

**You get to become stronger as the woman you're becoming.**

And I'm right there walking this journey, too. 🤍

10/09/2026

Have you ever thought:

*“Why isn't this working anymore?”*

The workout that used to leave you feeling amazing now leaves you exhausted.

The eating plan you once followed easily doesn't feel sustainable anymore.

You need more recovery than you used to.

Your energy isn't as predictable.

Your body is changing—and you're wondering what happened to the version of you who seemed to have it all figured out.

Friend, **maybe nothing went wrong.**

Maybe you're simply in a different season.

And different seasons have different needs.

A fall garden doesn't need the same things a summer garden does.

And your midlife body doesn't necessarily need the same things your 25-year-old body needed.

This isn't an invitation to try harder.

It's an invitation to **pay attention.**

What does your body need now?

More strength?
More recovery?
More nourishment?
More flexibility?
More compassion?

You don't have to abandon your goals.

You may simply need to **change the way you pursue them.**

That's not failure.

That's wisdom.
