*Steps up on soapbox* I had a follow up doctor's appointment today. While checking in, the woman at the desk verified my current address. I said "yep, for another three weeks!" She asked where I was moving. I said "Los Angeles." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And what did she say?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Is it your husband's job taking you there?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Excuse me?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My response:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I'll actually be the one running the television shows you're watching in a few years."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll admit I've had my sassy pants on all day, but even if I didn't, I certainly would have changed into them right then and there. No, I'm not moving to L.A. because of a husband's job. I'm moving because I have a passion that I'm courageously following. I'm moving because gut instinct tells me its the right thing to do. I'm moving because I damn well want to - and I can.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It blows my mind that in 2020 women still are expected to take a backseat to men. I've never felt like that's the way its supposed to be. Perhaps I developed that attitude by hanging out in gyms with dudes or perhaps I've been raised by parents that never told me I COULDN'T do something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our marital status doesn't matter. Women are capable. We are strong. We are independent. We can pack up our lives and move across the country. We can stay home and raise babies. We can run a small main street business or a massive corporation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can move to Los Angeles because we want to pursue a dream and maybe fall in love with (insert celebrity husband here) while we're at it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's 2020. Male, female, non-binary or otherwise, we're all capable of pursuing what sets us on fire, just because we want to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll step off my soapbox now - me and my French braids are late to a cycle class - but ladies, know this. You are strong. Capable. Incredible. No matter what your marital status is.

"Never miss a Monday" is a dangerous statement. An

"Never miss a Monday" is a dangerous statement. And yet, fitness coaches use it all the time. I don't. "Never miss a Monday" implies you HAVE to workout and I NEVER want my clients to feel like they HAVE to do anything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working out shouldn't be viewed as something you HAVE to do. It is something you GET to do. Moving your body is a privilege. Going to the gym or setting aside an hour to workout in your living room shouldn't be viewed as something you have to do to "work off the weekend" or "earn dessert." It should be something you WANT to do because you ENJOY it. It FEELS good.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's not a big deal if you miss a Monday. Workout when you want to, when it's something you're doing for YOU, not because your coach said "never miss a Monday" or worse, "burn off those weekend calories."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ditch the "never miss a Monday" workout and embrace working out for you, when it feels good for YOU.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got 5 1:1 coaching spots opening up for December. DM me for more info on how you can train with me (and be allowed to miss a Monday). Link in bio!

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍽🍁

Just your daily reminder that if you don't like where you are, change it. You're not stuck with what you start with. You can make a decision at any point to change your life. All it takes is one small baby step forward. And then another. And another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fear is really good at helping you find an excuse to stay in your comfort zone. It's up to you to tell fear to take a seat. You're not stuck with what you start with. You are capable of anything, worthy of everything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share this with a friend who needs to hear it.

It's okay to want to change your body. It's okay t

It's okay to want to change your body. It's okay to want to lose weight. Gain weight. Add muscle. Lean out. It. Is. Okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As long as you're doing it for the right reasons.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a big body positivity movement going on right now and I'm here for it. Except for when it makes women feel like they should feel bad for wanting to change their bodies with cries of "love yourself the way you are!" and "don't let society dictate how you look!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Valid points. You SHOULD love yourself. You SHOULD NOT let magazines and TV shows tell you how to look. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if you want to change your body for the right reasons? THAT'S OKAY.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The right reasons ARE NOT "because I want to look like the girl on the magazine" or "if I'm skinny, then I'll get the boyfriend, the job, the [insert thing here]." If you aren't happy with yourself RIGHT NOW, how much you weigh, what size jeans you wear, or how muscular you are isn't going to change that. You have to to make the choice to change your body FOR YOU.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what are the RIGHT reasons? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Wanting to get healthier ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Wanting to get stronger ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Wanting to see what your body is capable of ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Wanting to carry all of your groceries from the car in one go⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Wanting to play with your kids without feeling winded ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The list of RIGHT reasons goes on and is personal. Only YOU know what's right for YOU. And if changing your body is what you want for the right reasons, I'm your girl.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have 5 1:1 coaching spots open for December for women looking to end the year strong and go into 2021 with a plan. Together, we will build a fitness and nutrition program that works for you and your lifestyle, bust through mental roadblocks, have coaching calls to talk it all out, and smash goals like never before.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PLOT TWIST! Me, my dog, and this incredibly soft b

PLOT TWIST! Me, my dog, and this incredibly soft but oversized sweater are moving to Los Angeles! I've been working on my MFA in Writing and Producing for Television at @LoyolaMarymount @LMUSFTV since August and have decided its time to make the move. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This might sound reckless and wild and honestly, it kind of is, but it was @ShondaRhimes fault in the end. (Thanks, Shonda!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm putting aside a lot of fear and doubt and leaning into the instinct that tells me to move to Los Angeles. Life bends for the courageous, and nothing changes if nothing changes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The full story is on my blog - link in my bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please, leave any and all #LosAngeles recommendations - I plan to do a LOT of exploring - after my brother, dog, and I take a cross-country road trip to get there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And don't worry - my apartment is conveniently located more or less across the street from an @Innout. Please allow me to continue to believe the "it's gluten and dairy free" lie I have told myself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's to a new adventure in 2021 - and for turning some of these imaginary worlds of mine into reality.
