Every BODY has a story.

I was always a “thick” kid growing up. When I got to college I gained even more weight…50+ lbs more to be clear. By the time I graduated (with a degree in exercise science, BTW) I weighed over 200 pounds. For those who’ve never met me IRL I’m 5’1”.
•
I did the work, I lost the weight. It took about a year for me to drop about 60lbs and a few years more to get to 130lbs. After all these years I now know that my happy weight is 116 -125 (I’m on the higher end of that range now…you know the past year😆!)
•
I tell you all this because when I was training for my first fitness competition I went to a practice show. I was the most fit I had ever been in my life up to that point. I probably weighed 114 and full of muscle and I felt terrible about myself. I was looking around that room of women thinking how much better, younger, fitter and prettier they were. I was shattered, defeated wanting to quit. I walked 40 blocks home that night, sobbing through the streets of NYC.
•
The show was in 2 days, I called a friend who talked me off the proverbial ledge. I went to the gym, put on my bikini, blared Beyoncé and walked. I walked with confidence until I felt it, until my joy, strength, happiness shown through me.

I read this quote the other day and I wrote it down because it hit home. “We are perfectly positioned to help the person we once were.” - Rory Vaden.
•
I’ve lost over 80lbs and have kept it off for over 20 years. In the beginning of my journey I could have only told you I wanted to lose weight, it was only about the weight. When I got to a weight that I was in 5th grade as a max fit adult, 11% body fat and a whole lotta muscle…I still wasn’t happy. I was the fittest I had ever been and only comparing myself to others. Nothing made me feel good enough.
•
I hated being in my body in my teens and early 20s. It wasn’t until my 2nd fitness competition, I knew I could do it better, not just physically, but mentally. I didn’t care about placing, all I cared about was the journey. I wanted to lift every weight with joy, cook each meal with gratitude, I wanted to love the process and I hadn’t the first go-round. I will tell you I did and I gained so many tools not just for show time, but for life; yoga, meditation, writing in my journal and maybe most importantly, reminding myself of why I started.
•
I am here to tell you that it’s NOT just about your physical body. YES, 100% physical movement is important and living healthfully is key, but a giant part of that is making sure your mindset is right. Be kind to yourself, love every step, especially the tough ones…they teach you the most.
•
We all have a journey and if you’re looking for someone to help guide you, who’s been where you are, I’m here for you. Check out my website, shoot me a DM, it’s your time.

Feeling SO incredibly grateful after my @hyroxamerica race in Anaheim this weekend!
•
This journey has been filled with hard work, dedication, and so much support from the best people. Here are a few gratitudes from the race:

ABOUT THE RACE
1 km Run to start and 7 more km 1 in between each of the following events:
•Ski Erg - 1,000 meters on the Ski Erg
•Sled Push - 102kg for 50 meters
•Sled Pull – 78kg 50 meters
•Burpee Broad Jumps– 80 meters •Rowing – 1,000 meters
•KB Farmers Carry 2x16kg 200 meters
•Sandbag Lunges- 100 meters 10kg
•100 Wall Balls 4kg

The event challenged me physically and mentally in ways I’d only experienced on Pier 76 in June’s race. Unlike that race, I pushed through feeling strong and confident, you know in that “I may die here, but I’m doing it” kind of way.
•
I shaved 4 minutes and 29 seconds off my time with the new rules this season of 25 additional wall balls (it was 75) 1:56:24. Shoutout to my training partner and inspiration @nataliapetrzela you’ve been with me every step of the way, pushing me to be better, faster, and stronger. I couldn’t ask for a better teammate to suffer through all those brutal workouts. 💪
•
Huge thanks to my coaches @thefortnyc for their constant encouragement and willingness to push beyond my comfort zone (I like to be comfortable!) @jessmovold @_just_gelo_ @codyyrivera @julesbolte_ @hollywoodr33 @hollismtuttle your wisdom, expertise, and constant encouragement made all the difference. Your support is truly the secret sauce to my success.
•
And FINALLY to my heart, my husband @faan_b This was definitely NOT the present you wanted for your birthday (I got him his ticket as a gift🤣), but it was perfect…again I’m always right!Your unwavering support, both emotionally and physically. It was a joy to watch you run your race and have you here (again) to cheer me on. I love you to pieces and I’m SO proud of YOU!
•
AND for the most FIERCE hair @guin_gui GURL you are a⭐️! I bow to you🙏🏽
•
Thank you to everyone who sent good vibes and messages of support! This race was one for the books, but the journey is far from over. On to the next one…what city’s next?! 💥

GREECE 2027 IS OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR BOOKING!

We’re going back to Greece — and in 2027 once in Folegandros isn’t enough!

Next year there are TWO opportunities to join me:
May 30 – June 4, 2027 September 12 – 17, 2027

6 days. 5 nights. One breathtaking Greek island. And only 14 guests per retreat.
These retreats are so much more than a vacation.

They’re a chance to step away from the noise, the schedules, the constant doing and giving — and come back to YOU.
We’ll move, breathe, sweat, hike, meditate, journal, eat incredible food, explore hidden beaches, laugh A LOT and experience Greece together in a way that feels deeply personal. It’s the JOY and CONNECTION that keeps me coming back for more.

Your retreat includes:
5-star accommodations at Anemi Hotel & Spa 8 ALL OUT sessions — yoga, strength, mobility, journaling & sound meditation Daily breakfast 2 guided hikes to spectacular beaches
4 group dinners at some of my favorite local tavernas
Port transfers Plenty of time to explore, swim, rest and simply BE

Folegandros has had my heart for years. Sharing this island with my retreat community for the first time in 2026 was more special than I could have imagined — and I cannot WAIT to do it again.

Whether you come with a friend, a partner, or completely on your own, you are welcome.

Early Bird: Save $200 Payment plans are available.
And because these retreats are intentionally intimate, there are only 14 spots available for each trip.

If Greece has been calling you…this is your time to answer.

Booking is officially OPEN.

Link in bio to learn more + reserve your spot. AND there is an easy payment plan at no additional cost, so all you have to do now is BOOK with a $750 deposit!

Some places change you. Some people remind you who you are - Folegandros gave us both.
•
Six days of moving our bodies, slowing our minds, hiking the beautiful landscape, sharing epic dinners under the stars, hiking, and remembering that joy is one of the greatest forms of healing.
•
What makes my heart soar is what happens when a group of strangers says yes to themselves. Somewhere between sunrise yoga, salty swims, meaningful conversations, and endless laughter, strangers become family.
•
To every incredible soul who trusted me with this journey... thank you. Thank you for showing up fully, for supporting one another, for embracing every adventure, and for bringing the kind of energy that can’t be planned—it can only be felt.
•
You are and forever will be part of the ALL OUT family.
Until next summer, Folegandros. Thank you for another chapter I’ll never forget.

I am so grateful you are in this world and in my life. Birthdays aren’t your favorite and I know it’s hard to receive all that you give, so my wish for you today is that you know how truly loved you are.

If you have ever been “Faan’d” Definition (v) @faan_b speaks to your heart and sees your soul to the core and tells you exactly what you need to hear in the exact moment you need to hear it. Drop him a little line.
