π Another year to make big moves & dismiss the narratives that do not serve me.
ππΌ You talk to much
ππΌ You need more self control
ππΌ Youβre to sensitive
ππΌ You could lose some weight
ππΌ Youβre to small
ππΌ You should dress your age
ππΌ Youβre not doing enough
ππΌ You should do more
ππΌ Youβre intimidating
ππΌ You should be more confident
ππΌ Youβre getting too bulky
ππΌ Youβre going to hurt yourself lifting that much
π Nah, Iβm just a middle aged single mom with ADHD, riding the perimenopause train, who spent the last 12 years rebuilding her life. I built a successful business on my own, raised two amazing g humans & made endless human mistakes along the way. But I always did my best with the skills I had. I am damn proud of who I am & where I came from. Never perfect, but always consistent.
π There is no apologizing for the space I take up or the confidence I allow myself to move with through this world. My insecurities are not weaknesses. They are opportunities for growth & healing. A road to navigating the world with more intention, patients & curiosity.
π My wish for this year is to embrace the gentle & authentic love I feel around me, share more kindness with others & a bench press PR. π€

ππΌ I came into this meet expecting to have a monster squat. That did not happen. I allowed outside chaos & missing my second attempt for depth to affect my mental strength & forgot how to squat on my third attempt. It should have been in the bank. Watching it back I donβt even recognize myself. I hyper focused on hitting depth, was no longer locked in & absolutely fell apart under the bar. I walked away with an extremely aggravated glute max & a solid amount of posture chain pain.
ππΌ My nervous system immediately dis-regulated. My brain was not thinking rationally. I felt completely alone on the other side of the country, all while surrounded by a group of incredibly supportive women. It made no sense.
ππΌ When the unexpected happens we often lose the ability to think rationally. I had to step back & allow myself time to regulate my emotions & ask myself, βWhat would I tell one of my athletes right now?β
ππΌ In the end, weβre all just here to show up the best we can for ourselves & others. How we choose to navigate the unexpected will have a powerful impact on how we show up next time.

ππΌ Break the cycle. Be the one who puts iron in a girls hand, not hatred for their own body.

π To feel deeply sad & extremely excited at the same time has always been a sign that tremendous growth is on its way.
π It is the end of a professional era, but not of the deeper more meaningful connection that comes with friendship built on trust, honesty & loyalty.
π My ride or dies, my greatest support system & my best friends. I love you deeply & I canβt wait to grow with you outside of these four walls. π
