Back in 2016 I began to make the connection that fitness is inherently political. 8 years into helping (mostly) women divest from diet culture & use strength training to build themselves up, I believe it now more than ever. Strength is resistance & we are stronger together. Hello Bluesky friends!

Does anyone have contact info for the treasurer of antifa? I need to find the form to get reimbursed for my sign materials and inflatable unicorn costume for 🚫👑 this weekend. Also I still haven't gotten my paycheck for the last 3 protests. Please help! 😜

They used to say nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. But did it even really feel that good? To me, it felt like insecurity and anxiety and a perpetual headache from being underfed.

Apparently Target is doing a collab with Kate Spade, perhaps in an attempt to bring some of us back? Wrong move. They underestimate my petty ability to hold a grudge forever. All this does is make me wanna sell the Kate Spade I already have and add another company to my shit list.

Normalize adding stuff to convenience foods marketed as a meal but really just a bowl of rice with a tiny bit of protein and veggies. Normalize frozen veggies being just as valid as fresh. Normalize eating according to your hunger, not the serving size. Normalize eating “dinner food” for brunch.

Today my 4 year old is crying because I am having tomatoes on my avocado toast. I am not making him eat tomatoes. He just doesn’t want me to happen. Ridiculous right? But also typical preschooler behavior. . .

My brain is full.
Lately I’ve been drawing blanks on what to say.
Mostly because I’ve been doing
the work of running a household
running a business
running myself ragged.
Cleaning up the messes that have been (mostly) created by men.

If you see a gym selfie of a girl with abs in a matching set & it makes you feel some kinda way about your body, I just watched her strategically pose & edit it. She’s cute but she doesn’t look like that IRL. Go train for whatever lights you up & remember the internet is smoke & mirrors.

I can no longer make it through a day of work w/out a client sharing how 🤡👨🏻💻💩🔥 is affecting them personally. It is not “getting political” when it’s just regular life at this point. All I know is that we can’t normalize it. Anyone finds it possible to “just stick to fitness” must not work w/humans.

Leaving the gym today and thinking about how training with kettlebells is a physical reminder that I can learn and grow and do hard things and trust myself in the process. So can you. 💜

Just got off the phone with insurance and I can’t stop thinking about how even with “good” healthcare coverage, a neccessary appointment for my son with an in-network provider (a basic human right) costs more than I charge for personal training (a nice to have premium service).

It is the year 2025 and I can’t believe I still have to remind people that you don’t have to work out to “earn” a cookie. But here we are. It’s not cute. And there are better reasons to work out than burning calories. ✌🏻🍪

Sometimes people ask me how I’m doing and I have to pause before I automatically say “good”. Do you want the truth or a lie? I am doing about as good as a person can be considering the circumstances. The horrors persist. And in this moment, I am fine. How are you? Actually though.
