faith. family. fitness.

Truth be told... I gave up for a while there. On myself. On my family. On my God. When I lost my husband & best friend Nick... I was ready to give it all up. For a while, I couldn’t imagine taking another breath. I didn’t even want to. 💕 It took me a long while but eventually I found my way back to the path I’d left behind. Once I followed it... I found Him. The CREATOR of the Universe. The one who aligned the stars in the shape of my destiny... & then it really WAS all o

My fitness journey has truthfully never been about vanity. But, it’s DEFINITELY been about finding my sanity.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I had promised my late husband Nick &.... then, later on, God that I would give this life everything I had. But, I felt like I didn’t have a THING to give. At the end of the day, I barely had the energy to make my little girl & myself something decent to eat. I was so dang tired. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ I knew I had to start eating right & exercising at the least. The gym cle

Picture the thing you want MOST & then hold onto how achieving that thing will make you feel. 😍 YES, I’ve got some INSANE GOALS for this year... First, I’m finishing up a book about my late husband, my journey back to faith, & how God intricately reworked a crazy incredible story that I’m just lucky enough to be living in. ✨ Second, I’m aiming to help as MANY PEOPLE as possible get started on their health & fitness journeys. Because NO LIFE deserves to be cut short when we a

I got some weird looks at the nail salon yesterday. I might have had something stuck in my teeth but truthfully I think it was because .... I. CANNOT. stop. SMILING. 😁 Truthfully, I’m so stinking tired from the crazy number of hours I’ve worked helping babes get set up for our next Fit Tribe... BUT literally at the exact same time - I’m SO FREAKING FIRED UP about the number of people getting set up to take back control of their MINDSET & their HEALTH!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Most of you

Every single day that passes, I count myself SO DANG LUCKY to be this girl’s mama! I cannot believe how blessed we’ve been to have her in our lives. I kid you not, this child smiles almost CONSTANTLY. 😍 She doesn’t smile as big when the phone is out BUT you should see the HUGE GRIN that spreads across her face when we hide the camera. Her laugh is like heaven, she’s got leg rolls & arm rolls for days & she’s starting to scoot on her tummy!! Emery loves to talk (like the othe

It’s a little too easy to lose yourselves in the HUSTLE & BUSTLE of life. 😬 Even MORESO if you’re a parent & add an extra dallop of crazysauce 😜 for those of us running our own businesses at the same time. Jay & I decided very early on in our relationship (and again when we realized that we really wanted to treat this fitness gig as an ACTUAL BUSINESS) that we would actively be aware of where our time was spent. That we wouldn’t let our priorities get out of line. I don’t b

When I started coaching my first fit tribe two years ago (almost to THE DAY), I HAD NO IDEA the ways it would impact me or my family. I was a single mom, widowed by my late husband & I simply had gotten SICK & tired of being sick & TIRED. I was fighting an INSANELY PAINFUL auto-immune disease, a bad back & a recurring knee injury. 😬 I had joined an online challenge group mainly out of DESPERATION. I KNEW I needed to eat healthier & exercise but the gym was NOT happening. And

“If you’re lucky.... you have six months left. I’m so sorry.” The doctor was looking at his hands. He was speaking to my best friend. My 26 year old husband. I was clutching my stomach with one hand & Nicks arm with the other. The room started spinning & right into my heart rushed a FLOOD of regrets. We hadn’t taken a vacation since our honeymoon. We were working 60-80 hours per week. We were commuting an hour each way. I was 15 weeks PREGNANT. You know what moments like that

FAMILY is EVERYTHING. This weekend has been full of so much fun! Jay & I have been BUSTING BOOTY this last week to get people set for the 4 day a week program so we took some time off this weekend & OH- HOW-GLORIOUS it has been!! 💯⁣ ⁣ Kirkland waterfront, IKEA, & a dinner out, neighborhood BBQ & hours on the deck! & Today took the girls on a romp around the Farmer’s Market on the Pier, had a picnic lunch by the water, & soaked up some serious PNW sun after church. ☀️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
