What pain are you sitting with right now?

What if it isn’t here to break you, but to challenge you to grow?

Have you taken a moment to sit with it, embrace it, and uncover its root?

Could you be contributing to your own pain because you’re afraid to let go? Afraid of losing control? Fearful of what might happen if you loosen your grip?

Sometimes, that tension is God calling you forward while the enemy tries to pull you backward.

I can tell you from experience: the path that requires the most faith is often the one that leads to the greatest growth.

Releasing the reins and allowing God to take control isn’t easy, but it is freeing. And in the end, it is far more rewarding than anything we could force on our own.

God’s got it.

You just have to trust Him. Even the smallest seed of faith can grow into something abundant.

Imposter Syndrome: a phrase used to describe the internal experience of doubting your abilities.

At 43 years old, so many competing thoughts run through my mind and for some reason, a lot more frequently lately than usual.

WTF am I doing?
Should I really be out here trying to compete when my opponents are likely 20 years younger than me?
What if I’m not good enough?
What if I fail and let my coaches down?
What if I prove the doubters right?
If I fail, how can that be helpful to other women who want to succeed - I’m no role model.
I’ll never be fast enough.
I’m too slow.
I’ll never have good reaction timing.

I’m sharing this because honestly, I think this is normal. I’m also sharing this because I’m aware enough to call me on my own bullshit - and you should be, too.

So with all of that, I say QUIT MF’ing DOUBTING YOURSELF. I’m saying this out loud to myself and I’m screaming it to every other girl, teen, woman - who just simply doesn’t think they’re good enough.

YES 👏🏼YOU👏🏼ARE

Now, let’s go crush some goals this week 💪🏼💫

Today is World Leukemia Day.

This is what leukemia looked like for me. It stole my hair, my strength, my independence and nearly my life. But it did not get the final word.

I fought through awful side effects from chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and complications due to GVHD that pushed my body to its absolute limit.

Today, I honor everyone fighting, everyone surviving, every donor who gives someone another chance and every family carrying the weight alongside them. I also remember those who should still be here. Joe Clardy, you are deeply missed and thought of often.

Eight years later, I don’t take this life for granted. I train, compete, love, laugh and live boldly because I know exactly what it means to fight for another day.

Leukemia changed my life (for the better🙏🏻), it never defined the limits of it. 🧡🎗️

Happiness looks good on me, but so does everything I fought to become. ✨ There’s something different about a smile that comes from genuinely loving the life you’ve built.

It takes hard work, persistence, prayers, tears, lots of questions, & most of all, FAITH 💫

God didn’t promise us an easy life or a fair life but he promises to be there with us through it all. Walking beside us, in front of us, and behind us. He has our best interest in mind whether we see it or believe it or not. All He asks is that we invite Him in.

The way the world is now, I believe every woman should learn how to fight or at least protect themselves.

Not because you’re looking for a fight.
Not because you have something to prove.
But because there is something incredibly powerful about knowing what your body is capable of when things get uncomfortable.

Jiu jitsu. Boxing. Kickboxing. Muay Thai. MMA. Pick something. Learn to move. Learn to strike. Learn to grapple. Learn what it feels like to stay calm when someone is putting pressure on you.

Become harder to intimidate. Harder to control. Harder to overpower.

There’s a confidence that comes from knowing you’re not relying solely on someone else to protect you.

You don’t have to become less feminine to become dangerous.

Be soft when you choose to be.
Be kind because you choose to be.

But build a version of yourself that knows how to fight back when she has to.

Take up space. Learn the skills. Become capable.

Be the woman nobody should mistake for helpless. 👊🏼🔥💪🏼

I look at this picture and vividly remember exactly how I felt sitting there.

Disappointed. Mad. Emotional. Trying to listen to my corner while also trying to convince myself I had more to give.

And I did.

I think that’s one of the things I love most about fighting. You definitely find out some things about yourself in there. There’s nowhere to hide, no pretending you’re fine, no easy way out when things get uncomfortable. It’s just you, your opponent, your corner, the ref, and the decision to keep going.

I’ve done a lot of hard things in my life. Some I chose. Some I sure as hell didn’t.

This one I chose.

And as rough as this moment looks, I’m proud of the woman sitting on that stool. She was fucking tested. She was trying to collect her thoughts & listen to her corners, two men she trusts with her life. She probably would’ve loved a minute longer than the one they gave her 😂

But she got back up.

That’s really what it comes down to for me.

You don’t have to feel strong to keep going.

Sometimes - no, EVERY TIME, you just get the fuck back up. 🥊

Stay tuned, I’m not done yet.

Almost every woman that talks to me about being fit wants to know the secret to getting “toned.”

There isn’t one. “Toned” isn’t a thing for me.

Strong women don’t accidentally become strong. They build it through consistent habits that aren’t always glamorous. They embrace the suck.

Here are 5 things that might surprise you if your goal is to build muscle, increase strength, and create a body that performs just as well as it looks:

1. Eat MORE protein… and often more food.
Under-eating is one of the fastest ways to stall progress. Your body needs fuel to build muscle. You cannot build a house without bricks.

2. Stop chasing soreness.
Being sore isn’t a badge of honor. Progressive overload, quality training, and proper recovery are what drive results.

3. Lift heavier than you think you can.
If you’re still grabbing the same dumbbells you used six months ago, your body has no reason to adapt. Challenge creates change.

4. Rest days are part of the program.
Muscle isn’t built during your workout. It’s built while you recover. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, and recovery are just as important as your training.

5. Focus on strength, not the scale.
The scale doesn’t tell you how much muscle you’ve built, how much stronger you’ve become, or how much confidence you’ve gained. Strong is the goal. The physique follows.

The fitness industry has convinced women that the goal is to be smaller.

I disagree.

I’d rather help you become the strongest version of yourself.

Because strength isn’t just about what you can lift.
It’s about what you become in the process.

💪 Chase performance.
🔥 Build muscle.
⚡ Fuel your body.
❤️ Become difficult to break.

Strong > Skinny. Every. Single. Time.

There might be pieces of orange or lemon in my hair - I need to find a juicer that isn’t to messy 😂
Wellness juice recipe:
3 lemons 🍋
1 bag of cuties (peeled) 🍊
2 oranges 🍊
2 mangoes 🥭
1/2 container of turmeric root
Optional 2 peaches 🍑
A piece of ginger (like maybe the size of a golf ball) ginger 🫚
Pour into a shot glass every morning and top it with a light dusting of cayenne pepper 🌶️ it’s loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Together, these ingredients help support normal immune function, healthy skin, digestion, and recovery while helping your body combat oxidative stress.
Try black pepper instead of cayenne. Black pepper contains piperine, a bioactive compound that has been shown to increase the absorption (bioavailability) of curcumin, turmeric’s primary active compound, by as much as 2,000% in some studies when taken together. Piperine slows the breakdown of curcumin in the liver and intestines, allowing more of it to enter the bloodstream.
You’re welcome 🫶🏼

Life is hard. It always will be.

Every day, our minds race through thousands of thoughts. We juggle careers, families, relationships, dogs, homes, bills, workouts, nutrition, sleep, and responsibilities that no one else sees. Some of us are also carrying the weight of illness, loss, or diagnoses that changed our lives forever.

I’ve lived that.

The early mornings. The late nights. The bruises. The sore muscles. The cuts. The fear. The discipline. The setbacks. The victories.

None of it is easy.

But neither is living a life where fear, excuses, or comfort make your decisions for you.

You don’t get to choose whether life is hard.

You do get to choose your hard.

Choose the hard that makes you stronger.
Choose the hard that builds your character.
Choose the hard that makes you proud when you look back.

Because one day, you’ll realize the hardest battles weren’t meant to break you.

They were meant to reveal who you really are.

Choose wisely 💫

July 26, 1956 God decided it was time for this little baby to make her grand entrance into this world. Today, we celebrate you, mom. I hope you never close your eyes at night and wonder if you’ve done a good job as a mother, a wife, a friend, sister, or a daughter. You can look at the faces of those whose lives you’ve touched and know that you are loved.
I am forever grateful for you.
Happy birthday, momma 🐻 I love you so so much! #happybirthday🎂 #momma #birthday #bestmom #celebrate by @kass_c1
