10 years ago today, my life changed forever. And somehow, 10 years later, I’m building something that began in the middle of the hardest season of my life. When I lost my sister to suicide, my entire world caved in. She was the outgoing one, the protective older sister, and the yin to my yang, or as she used to say, “the sun and the moon.” Without her, I felt untethered. I was timid, numb, and couldn’t picture what life looked like moving forward. When I started going to the gym, I wasn’t thinking about building muscle or changing my body. I just needed somewhere to go. Something to focus on. A reason to feel something other than sadness. The gym quickly became my sanctuary. It gave me a safe place to process grief, build trust in myself, and slowly discover who I was becoming on my own two feet. Movement saved my mind long before it ever changed my body. Over time, my relationship with fitness evolved. I learned to train with intention, build my body up instead of breaking it down, and create an 80/20 lifestyle where fitness could exist alongside a full, joyful life. For 10 years, I’ve wanted to do something in my sister’s honor. Something that would make her proud. I’ve considered so many paths, but this feels right because it connects my sister, my grief, the gym that helped me find my way through it, and the person I’ve become. As I step into coaching, I want to help women find strength, confidence, and a sense of home within themselves. I want to show them that fitness doesn’t have to be punishment or restriction. It can be a sanctuary. A place to discover what you’re capable of. A way to find your way back to yourself. 10 years later, I still carry her with me. Maybe this is one way I get to carry her forward. This is for you, sis. I hope I’m making you proud. ☀️🌙 To anyone navigating a season that feels too heavy, be gentle with yourself. One day, one breath, and one rep at a time.

Op slag verliefd op dit jurkje van @freebirdicons Je ziet gelukkig deze winter veel rokken en jurken, ik houd er namelijk van. En helemaal zo mooi gecombineerd met deze trendy laarzen @schoenenparislondres Het jurkje is mooi getailleerd en natuurlijk is de kleur super tof 👌. De laarzen hebben een kleine vouw op de wreef, hetgeen deze laarzen net iets anders maken. Chic en sportief tegelijk. Ja, sorry, ik kreeg één grote glimlach van deze set 🥰😍. Jullie? #elegantlook #agelessbeauty #sixtyandfabulous #almost60 #lifebeginsat50
Regulating AI isn’t a weakness—it’s a competitive advantage. And getting it done means we won’t be at the mercy of an increasingly powerful and unaccountable tech industry.
I can’t help but feel like the beauty standards are getting even worse. What kind of world do we live in where crows feet & a few breakouts means I look twice my age. It’s so normal to have these facial features, even though not everyone has them & gets them. I’m increasingly finding myself looking at the lines on my face, but I’m trying not to. My face has been through so much, with chronic skin conditions, and so I don’t expect it to ever be perfect. Yes, I could get Botox but why should I feel like I have to?
