It’s rave day! 🦄🌈 Today, I am going to Dreamstate, a must festival here in SoCal that I have been going to since 2016. The festival runs from 1 pm to 1 am, with afters that go till 6 am both Friday and Saturday. This is my "epic shit" that I have been training for. I am very much treating this as an endurance sport. This week, I made sure to get in two lifting sessions and my “now” regular morning walks, but I’ve made it a lighter deload recovery week in preparation. You may not be a raver or have a big event on the horizon, but I’m also looking at the next 40 years as the big event. I’m building the habits, routines, and rituals NOW to support a healthier future. One motto I’ve been carrying around lately is “What if it didn’t have to be that hard?” A lot of the resistance we encounter when trying to set our lives up to have supportive, healthy habits —- comes from our own heads. The all-or-nothing thinking, the perfectionism to the point of inaction, the overthinking that spirals us out of motivation, the emotional highs and lows that lead us to overindulge or throw everything out the window... I have and still do experience ALL of these things. But the biggest tool I have in my back pocket is that I have developed the Awareness to notice when these things are happening. Sometimes, I don’t; sometimes, I still fall into the traps my mind lays for me. But more often than not, I notice these patterns because I’ve seen them before. I know what to look for. I am grounded in my desires, and I know that if I act in a certain way, I will feel a certain way, and I am able to move through these thoughts and feelings into action. I spoke about this process last week; building that ability to stop and recognize how to meet your needs and support yourself on this journey is key. I’ll be running an offer next week for the people who are ready to overcome those mindset blocks and finally get out of their own way and start sticking with your habits so that you can do epic shit like rave for 2 days straight and not feel like you were hit by a bus —- or even if it’s just that you want to start building a strong healthy body that will carry you through the next 4 decades with vigor and vitality. (That works, too). Whatever your “epic shit” is, I want you to be able to feel your best doing it. So be on the lookout for more information because I’m here to make the process simpler, easier, and something you can fit into your life without getting stuck in the mind drama. |

Hey Reader, I haven’t worked out since November. I did three bike rides in December, but they were all on the stationary bike. I haven’t done a lifting workout since November. And while I’m ready to jump back into my workouts in the New Year, I wanted to talk about the missing link that a lot of people aren’t following through on. They jump into habit change trying to do whole life overhauls and get overwhelmed by all the things they think they should be doing with their nutrition. But the...
I spent this morning reviewing my calendar from this past year and reflecting on wins and losses - and ways of being that served and didn’t serve me. Here are 28 lessons I had handed to me over and over again in 2025. Take what speaks to you, leave what doesn’t. The world is beautiful, don’t get trapped inside. Get off the computer, keep with your check in/ check out process. Lean into your hobbies, you have space (literally) for this. Eat the frogs, your energy will thank you. You have all...
The winter arc era is upon us. Instagram is filled with coaches selling you their programs to help you stay on track through the holidays. We even have people already selling you into 8-week shred programs starting in the New Year. And while I’m all for health and fitness challenges to motivate you - I am taking a much more laid-back approach to my health this season, and I think you should t0o. The world seems to be crashing and burning around us, both literally and figuratively, and I don’t...
