I officially joined The Resiliency Circle 💚

Working with La Familia Sana has given me a front row seat to the very real things families in our community are navigating every single day and how this organization plays apart in helping those challenges. Sometimes support looks big, but honestly… a lot of times it’s small things that change everything. A ride to an appointment. Food support. Help during a stressful moment. Someone answering the phone when life feels heavy.

That’s why I decided to become a monthly donor and one of the founding members of The Resiliency Circle.

I love this idea because it’s built around the belief that small monthly donations truly add up over time and create steady, reliable support for our community.

If you’ve been looking for a way to give back locally in a meaningful way, I’d love for you to join too. Even $10 or $25 a month helps create real impact for local families. Learn more at

I am so incredibly proud of the work Kyleah put in for her first time ever raising animals for market. Both of her pens made weight for auction and the judge commended her on how well cared for they were and were kept to the highest standard for their breed. If you would like to support her project with an “add-on” which is essentially like a sponsorship towards her costs you are able to do that online through Tuesday. Click the link below and search Kyleah or Hollowell.

She plans to use the proceeds from this project to purchase a pig in the spring to raise for next years fair. Cheers to raising the next generation of farmers and getting us all a little closer to our food sources. These kids do an incredible job caring for and raising the animals as well as presenting themselves. I was so proud of her explaining her project to one of her supporters who came down to she her at the fair.

I was thinking about what I wanted to share and I’m not sure if I have all the words yet, but I thought I would post anyway. I think sometimes we see so much of the highlight reel on social media. We compare ourselves to this unrealistic version of people. We think that were failing compared to some standard that isn’t even real. This summer has been extremely busy for me working and taking care of my kids and all of their activities which I love doing and I thoroughly enjoy all of it but it’s been a lot. In the moments when I have the time to clean or put things away, I don’t want to. I have had zero motivation to clean or organize anything for months. That doesn’t mean I haven’t cleaned anything. I’m just saying I haven’t wanted to. My room has been a pile of clean, laundry and miscellaneous stuff for weeks. Last night I finally got a wave of motivation and decided to clean my room. It felt great to wake up in that clear space. But this post is really about the mess not the cleaning part. Sometimes we need to be OK with the mess. We need to realize that we can’t actually do it all and it’s OK for some things to fall away or to be put on the back burner while we focus on other things. And whenever I give myself, grace and focus on what I am doing, not what I am not doing I feel worlds better. Just wanted to share my mess with you and say if parts of your life are a mess too that’s ok! You’re killing it in other areas. 💓 by @katryan_thriving

My garage classes have been going really well! Like really well! I love it out there with the laughter and the gains and the community and the fun and the sweat and sometimes cussing.

I’m considering something I haven’t don’t in quite some time which is evening classes. IF you’d come to an evening class what days and what time would you come? by @katryan_thriving

6am club has been rolling over a year now. And what I’ve come to know from years of “the journey” is there’s a part in the middle where it’s not new anymore and it’s not exciting. It’s routine. And for me right now the middle feels like a plateau at times. But it’s is VERY important to look back at where you started when you’re in the middle and realize how freaking far you’ve come.

In a year I’ve completely transformed my garage, I’ve completely transformed my habits (I’m now a person who wakes up and works out at 6am), I’m alcohol free, I’m healthier mentally and physically. I’m no longer open to just any connection- it’s about mutually adding to lives. I have designed my dream work/life schedule and work from my beautiful home office space. I no longer have a roommate my space is mine. My friendships are stronger and so beautiful.

Am I at THE goal yet?? No! And do I get frustrated at times, yes! But it’s never been about the goal. It’s about who you become in pursuit of the goal.

Where are you at in your journey? by @katryan_thriving

I’ve been having so many good conversations lately around food… and honestly, most of it isn’t about knowing what to do.

It’s about actually doing it. Consistently. In real life.

So I decided to start something super simple.

I made a small Messenger group called Fueled & Feeling Good—it’s just a space for:
– sharing what we’re eating
– getting ideas when we feel stuck
– staying a little more accountable
– and focusing on progress, not perfection

No pressure, no tracking required, no “start over Monday” energy.

Just real women trying to feel a little better day by day.

This morning was all the things! Sweaty, soulful, sisterhood. I had that voice in my head this morning saying why did I sign up for something else to do. I felt like I just wanted to rest, but that’s definitely not what it turns out I needed. Teaching this class gave me more than it took. I’m so grateful to @studio5yoga for the space to bring these women together to move. I walked in with hip pain and tiredness and walked out pain free and joyful. Oh and @mrsangieolsen and I showed up in matching @spiritualgangster shirts from @shop_northend 💓 ✨ by @katryan_thriving
