Today’s mantra: I will honor my complexity instead of trying to simplify it away. 📿

Say it with me: I’m going to stop trying to make myself more digestible. Stop sorting the pieces of myself into what is acceptable and what still needs work.

I’m learning that honoring my complexity means being willing to sit with my shadow self. To look at the parts of me that feel uncomfortable, contradictory, messy, misunderstood, without immediately trying to fix, judge, or push them away. I’m finding so much wisdom in my willingness to stay.

I don’t have to simplify myself to belong.

I can bring my whole, beautifully complicated self into the rooms I inhabit.

My healing isn’t about becoming a more polished version of myself. It’s about learning to hold all of who I am with a little more compassion.

After all the Yoga… Meditation Retreats… Reiki Trainings… 🧘🏻‍♂️

I’m still loud.
Still messy.
Still questioning everything.
Still figuring s**t out.

I don’t think “healing” requires you to become some perfectly peaceful version of yourself.

Sometimes… sure I sit all quiet and have a calmness to me. 🧘🏻‍♂️
But a lot of the time I’m silly …. Or pissed… or really freakin tired and sad. 🫠

Because
I’m interested in all of it.
All of this crazy human life we’re leading 🤡

Welcome to ObnoxiouslyFit. Glad you’re here 🤍

🍂 My own Fall Reset

I made this checklist because I realized I needed to do it for myself first…….. And sharing it to hold myself accountable 😅

In January, I stepped away from my fitness career. It was the right decision, BUT ….. my identity, purpose, routine and community, was all so wrapped up in that work.

And honestly? I’ve been floundering a bit feeling a little a hole.

I miss it.

I miss helping people feel stronger.
I miss teaching.
I miss having a community around me.
I miss creating spaces where people show up for themselves.

But I also know I don’t want to simply go back to what I was doing before.

So this fall, I’m giving myself permission to really ask:

Where do I go next?

I know I want to build and grow my Reiki + holistic wellness community. I want to bring more meditation, energy work, sound healing, movement, and embodiment into what I offer. I want to create spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore all the different ways we can feel better in our bodies and in our lives.

I also want to put some of that energy back into myself.

My own health.
My own fitness.
My own routines.
My own organization.
My own motivation.

Because apparently it’s much easier for me to tell everyone else to take care of themselves than it is to consistently do it myself. 😂

So my action steps this fall are:

- Build and nurture my wellness community online
- Explore how to mix meditation, energy work, sound healing and fitness
- Keep asking what I want to build next
- Follow the things that feel exciting - even if I’m terrified & have no idea where they lead

And somewhere way out on the horizon…

- Make enough money to eventually have my own brick-and-mortar space. 😂🤞

A place where movement, Reiki, meditation, sound, energy, wellness, and community can all exist under one roof.

I don’t know if that’s where I’m headed. But I know walking in that direction is better than standing still.

And THIS IS VERY HARD FOR ME ::::: I don’t have to have the whole path figured out before I take the next step.

So friends, that is my fall reset.🍂

What’s yours?

“I bask in this serenity and reflect upon this age of Gaia, this incredible planet we are blessed to call our home. There is boundless love all around me, a loving pulsating energy is teeming throughout my body and overflowing my soul, I smile with the understanding that I am not separate from this energy; each of us is part of this loving sacred circle.” - Nadine Majano

Just last night as I lay in bed I was musing about what I might feel, or unravel, or come to understand in my time at SkyCave (a sensory deprivation retreat I’m doing in October).
And what came to me was the anger around how we’ve all gotten so far off track from “the plan.” The plan : being in relation and caring for Earth.
That this seems to be an abusive relationship in which we are the abusers. We take from her and use her with very little awareness or care to her… very little give back from our side.
We use and abuse the one that feeds us, hydrates us, pleases and entertains us with every dragonfly or waterfall. Most of us wake up every day and pick up a phone, turn on the TV, run to work in our gas guzzlers, pick up a plastic to go cup from Starbeez…. Without taking the time to honor her presence in our lives.
Whenever I have a moment to slow down and feel her breeze on my cheek or listen to a bird song, I am in immense awe of her. I’m in immense awe that here I am 4.5 billion years into her existence to experience all she has become… all she is. It’s a gift I can never repay… but boy I’d like to try. 🤍🌱🌎

Here’s a workout that yes… is for dancers.
But aren’t we all dancers in some way? Or at least wanting to feel a little more connected to our bodies?

This series focuses on deep core strength, hips, glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, ankles, and stability. The muscles that support posture, balance, coordination, mobility, and control in everyday life.

The bridge work fires up the posterior chain, the banded and ankle weight series builds control and joint stability, and the plank/tabletop work challenges balance and cross-body coordination.

Dancers train strength and mobility at the same time. That’s part of what creates movement that feels fluid instead of rigid. This workout is built for that kind of strength: supportive, adaptable, and connected. 🌀
