POSTS STORIES REELS

Don’t let anyone diminish your goals or journey.

Right about now, you’ll start to hear the noise. Friends, family, or strangers mocking the “New Year, New Me” energy. People mock what they don’t understand, often to avoid confronting their own habits.

Truth is the version of you that wants to change deserves protection. That mindset might save your life.

5 years ago, I made a decision people thought was temporary. Today, I’m closer to the man I’m meant to be for my family.

Guard your peace. Stay focused. And keep going.
You never know how far a January can take you.

I used to celebrate with drinks, now, it’s desserts and rest. After finishing my 50K, I’ve been giving myself time to slow down, enjoy some sweets (my current vice 🍰), and really take in the win. I tested my body and it performed okay. That’s a win for me.

No rush to jump back into training. Just a week or two of recovery, reflection, and letting the body and mind recharge. Sweets are my reward this time.

First day back! Now, I will split my time between BJJ, strength training and running. Nothing on the calendar but the lifestyle continues.

Happy birthday to the sweetest and most beautiful person I’ve ever met. ❤️

Not many people know this, but this girl is my hero. Whenever I’m a little unsure of myself (which does happen 😅), she’s always there to remind me, “I know you can.” She believes in me even during the moments when I struggle to believe in myself.

But what I admire most about her is the mother she is to our children. I see our kiddos growing up with such a beautiful light 💡 inside them, and I know so much of that comes from her. From the way she loves them, teaches them, and cares for them, to the way she makes sure they always feel loved.

I don’t think she’ll ever fully understand just how much she means to us or how much of an impact she has on our little family. Or that she knows her super power is her love 🦸‍♀️

Happy birthday, girlie. Thank you for being you, for believing in me, and for giving our children such a beautiful example of what love looks like. ❤️

In 2023, scrolling social media I see this guy post his run and I remember thinking “people post their boring runs?”. Now it’s my personality.

Some people move through the world doing good things without ever asking for recognition.

I have to give a shoutout to Coach @dorimeloo for being one of those people. He’s had the patience to work with me in moments when it would’ve been easier to just ignore the situation.

Last year, I almost quit training because of my Trigeminal Neuralgia. Coach made sure I knew there was still a way for me to keep training while being mindful of my condition.

Now when people tell me they want to try martial arts but think they can’t because of a condition or limitation, I always tell them the same thing:

Sometimes there is still a way to do what you love. You just have to find the right place and the right coach.

Appreciate you, Coach. 🥋

Stay relentless, friends!
