Hey Reader, Let’s get into this week: The Warm Up This work week was insane. I finally got my first workout in yesterday (Wednesday) — and sometimes it be like that. I missed two workouts earlier in the week after getting stuck in front of a computer for a week and a half straight. I eased into yesterday's session, and it felt so good to move my body again. Picking up where you left off counts as a win. This Week's Lift: Home vs. Gym Workouts One of the most common questions I get from women...

Hey Reader Here's something I've noticed after years of coaching women through their 30s, 40s, and 50s: the women who stay consistent aren't the ones with the most willpower. They're the ones with a plan flexible enough to bend with real life — hormonal shifts, busy weeks, and all. That one insight has completely changed how I coach. And it's the foundation of something I'm reintroducing after a long time. For a moment, imagine this: waking up feeling strong in your body. Clothes fitting the...

Hey Reader ! Last week I shared a little bit about my current fitness journey on IG, and how I was able to lose about 20 pounds over the last 3 months. What I didn’t share was how for many of those weeks of working out, fueling my body properly in a moderate caloric deficit, and regulating my nervous system/ resting it felt like nothing was happening… My weight often stalled or went up slightly (and continues to do that!), I would look in the mirror and not notice any changes, and my workouts...

I also covered how to progress your lifting without increasing the weight because sometimes this just isn’t possible. You can check out those posts here: How to Progress your Lifts without Increasing the Weight How to Rate your...

Hey Reader, The biggest hurdle for many women when it comes to lifting weights is knowing where to start. If this is you, you may be asking questions like… What workouts are the best for getting in shape? What exercises would I do to define my arms or legs, or lose belly fat ? What equipment should I use? How many sets and reps should I do? Do I need to be lifitng 5 times per week to see results? What if I only have 20 minutes to workout? What if I can only go to the gym twice a week? Is that...

Hey Reader, And hello from Texas! I’m down here temporarily for work before heading back to Portland. While life has been busy lately, I want to let you know I’m still here and still coaching women to become the strongest they can be. As I get older, this mission is proving more than ever to be a worthy pursuit for the sake of my health and the health of the women I help get strong. My body has seen a lot of change over the last two years, from cross country moves, to getting married, to...
