💥 This month marks four years of me breaking up with CrossFit & walking into a powerlifting gym at 48 years old & hired a coach. I had no idea how this choice would impact my life & the rest of my career.

💥 Eight meets down & feeling the pull to get on the platform for #9. ( @liz_fortress 😉)

💥 The only thing I love more than competing, is bringing this sport into the lives of others. I’ll wake up your inner-athlete & before you know it, you’ll want more. 💪🏽 taken in Portland, Oregon by @formnfunctionpdx

💥 I don’t make the rules, I break societal norms b/c living in a box just ain’t that much fun.

👉🏼BUT, you know what is fun…
Taking up running in your 30’s after having two babies.
👉🏼Deciding to take up strength training before you break yourself running.
👉🏼Becoming a fitness instructor CPT at 36.
👉🏼Joining CrossFit for in your early 40’s & making it an integral part of your life and career for six years.
👉🏼Being grateful for the sport that introduced you to the barbell, but listening to your intuition when it tells you it’s time for change.
👉🏼Walking into a powerlifting gym in your late 40’s to hire your first powerlifting coach.
👉🏼Signing up for your first powerlifting meet at age 48 and realizing that you’re an athlete again.

👉🏼 Fear, 💯 the absolute crusher of dreams and success.

👉🏼 Taking the risk to put a barbell in my hand was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

👉🏼 I’d choose that risk over & over again. It has made me the sexiest, strongest, and give no fucks what other people think version of myself.

👉🏼 If you’re ready to unleash your power by taking a risk, let’s fucking go! Drop “risk it” 👇🏻 to learn more about my remote coaching program. by @formnfunctionpdx

🫶🏻Every piece of me is a chapter of my story. A life full of complex layers & perseverance. I’m grew up an only child in rural Michigan, moved across the country by myself at 22, got my MA in Theatre, spent my summers on Phish tour, and was married at 26.

🫶🏻 In my 30’s, I had my children & spent 10 yrs primarily being a stay at home mom. At age 39 my world completely changed. My family experienced the collective pain of divorce & I came out.

🫶🏻 The road I chose to build this life has been tremendously bumpy & beautiful all at the same time. There were moments I didn’t know if I would be able to do this life on my own. Could I provide for my children, pay my bills, and live the life I desired? Who the hell was I outside of being a mother?

🫶🏻 Today who I am is very clear. I own it all. I’m a 52-year-old perimenopausal lesbian with a spicy brain, who talks with her whole body, has few filters, and makes weird noises instead of words. I’ll interrupt you when I’m excited & feel bad after. I’m messy & flawed, full of ideas & big dreams. I’m a lover of soft warm lighting, collecting house plants, my daily routine, long ass walks, cabins in the mountains, bodies of water, and spreading the gospel of iron.

🫶🏻 It’s hard to say where the next chapter will take me, but I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of a decade! taken in Portland, Oregon by @formnfunctionpdx
