I’ve been moving my body for as long as I can remember. I started running with my dad as a teen, then hit the gym, became a fitness instructor back in the aerobics days, and got into weight training. At 23 I began formal jazz and contemporary dance classes, which was considered late for a dancer.

When I was pregnant with my first kiddo, I swam laps for an hour every day and walked a lot. Over the years I’ve rollerbladed, done ballroom and line dancing, practiced Pilates, became a yoga instructor in my 50s, learned handstands, returned to the weight room in my late 50s, and trained for my first pull-up at 60. I did it at 61 and keep working to make it stronger at 62.

After injuring my hip in a half marathon at 48, my long runs were over, but I recently ran a 5K and I’m training for another. I also hiked parts of El Camino in September.

Movement has carried me through life. Through injuries (if one part of my body was hurt, I trained another), through major depression, anxiety, divorce, financial struggles, parenting challenges, and loss.

Every physical goal I ever set had and has one main purpose: to protect my health, mental, physical, and emotional.

What keeps you moving?

Millennials are often described as individualistic, innovative, creative, diverse, multitaskers, and unwilling to follow outdated rules. That’s me to a T. I’ve always written my own rules, even when it was uncomfortable or unpopular to do so.

Children are wise. The wisdom we acquire as we grow older uncovers what we once knew to be true.

There isn’t a chapter of my life that without a challenge. I’m sure that’s true for almost every woman out there.

I grew up without a mother, lived through trauma, divorce, and financial hardship.

I’ve been on welfare as a single mom, faced health scares, and hurt for my kids when life tested them in ways I couldn’t fix.

I’ve lost friends to illness and kept going even when my heart was breaking.

And yet, here I am. Still standing. Still learning. Still believing that joy and pain can coexist.

I’ve also raised great kids, published books, met the love of my life, and built a digital venture from the ground up.

Growth doesn’t erase who we were. It honors every step of the way to becoming who we’re meant to be.

Here’s to every woman who’s lived through it and is still here, stronger, softer, and somehow still full of hope, at 22, 42, 62 (like me) or 82.
