POV: you don’t “start again”…you just start ✨

And honestly? Your body remembers more than you think it does.

Today felt like powering up in the sun ☀️

The long jump runs are still in there.
The rhythm is still in there.
The strength is still in there.

Even when the rope clipped my fingers and I had to dance the pain away for a second 😂

That’s the thing about putting in real work:
it may fade a little,
but it never fully disappears.

And the get back?
It’s almost never as hard as the very first beginning.

So if you’ve been hesitating because you think you’re “starting over,” let this be your reminder:

You’re not starting from nothing.
You’re starting from experience 🤎

Me: shows him the video
Him: ok, so what do we do?

I let it slide because he actively participates in my sidequests and shenanigans.

Plus, he's my emergency contact so good thing he's always there...wait 🤣🤣🤣

Chaperoned my son’s first middle school dance 🥹

He had decided he wasn’t even going to go, but I told him this is part of growing up—learning how to show up in spaces, even when you’re not sure how it’s going to go.

Found out today that none of his “fancy” clothes or shoes fit 😅
Did his hair an hour before, hyped him up the whole drive there.

At one point, I found him sitting in the corner with a Capri Sun…

“You don’t have to dance, but you can’t be over here by yourself. Go stand with people.”

When I saw him again?

Conga line🕺🏾
Dance circle 💫
Sea lion 🦭 (ask your gen alpha kids)

And just like that…he found his way in.

Moral of the story:
Don’t count yourself out before you even try. 🥹

You don’t have to know exactly how to show up.
You just have to be willing to step into the room.

PS: He didn't ignore me during the party 🥹 even stood with me as we secretly picked out the best dressed boys of the night. These kids have style🤌🏾

The tinkering continues…

Two things for certain:
I’m going to figure it out, and I’m going to teach my boys how to figure it out too 🤌🏾

Here’s what I’ve been noticing—

The stronger I get, the more confident I become in assessing risk.

Once you’ve lifted 100 lbs, you stop defaulting to “I can’t.”

You start asking: what would it take?

That shift changes everything.

No, strength training won’t turn you into a mechanic overnight.

But it will change how you move through the world—and what you believe you’re capable of in it.

And that? It carries over everywhere.

If you’ve been wanting to feel more capable in your body, this is the work I do every day.

Come train with me.

We’ll start exactly where you are.
