This version of you simply becomes real if you go outside and do the damn thing.

Day 1 🛼 lots more practice to come. But damn it felt good to play. by @erinspoint

New skates, new brake.
Something so satisfying about slowing down.
Adulting = taking safety precautions before you fall on your ass in attempt to prevent yourself from falling on your ass. by @erinspoint

@theplatform_studio doing @theplatform_studio things ✌️

This is what a platform Pilates/tread DUO class looks like and it’s sooooo good!

I’ve wanted to try Pilates for a long time being a no former athlete but never did it until The Platform came to the neighborhood.

I’ve been to three classes with Lynda, Chelsea, and Jenny and they are the absolute best and I can’t rave about all of them more. 🔥 by @erinspoint

Tell me you played basketball without telling me

Just got new blades and I LOVE them already! I have tried quad skates over the years but I haven’t been on inline skates since I was a kid!

My skates came without a brake attached so this is my attempt to figure out which leg I can balance on better and naturally brake with 😂 so obviously basketball lay ups were tested on wheels.

I used to do stick handling in the garage with my brother but never played hockey myself. It feels like 34 is the right time to put it all together. Gotta start practicing for @oddgirlrushhockey by @erinspoint

You’ll never be a former athlete.

You were elite at something…
and then one day it just ended.

No parade.
No debrief.
No manual for who you’re supposed to be now.

You step to the line.
You drain it.
You win games.
You build your entire identity around being that person.

And then on some random Tuesday…

practice is gone.
the structure is gone.
the applause is gone.

Who are you without it?

This isn’t a sports podcast.

It’s about the part of you that got built through sport —
the discipline, the edge, the drive, the identity —
and what happens when the uniform comes off.

Because you don’t have to stop identifying as an athlete.

But you do have to figure out how to carry it differently.

How are you actually doing?

[insert something clever about speakeasies]

Downtown Long Beach has multiple speakeasies open year round but this holiday season I hit up three speakeasies in one night. Highly recommend.

1. Hao Peng You Hand Laundry at Midnight Oil @mnolbc
2. The Apothecary at Midnight Oil @mnolbc
3. No. 3 The Queen Mary @n.o3qm by @erinspoint
