LETS CONNECT!

Run your body. Run your life. Run the world. . . Just finished up a conversation with @yogawithbrima about the relationship between your experience in your body and your experience in the world. How you carry and feel tension in your body is related to how you experience stress in your life. Do you hold on to stress until it breaks you? Are you dealing with chronic injuries or pain? . . . Learning how to manage the health of your body and all of its movements is just as important as managing psychological stress and the two are so deeply intertwined. Mental AND physical health - you can't have one without the other ✨ . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspiration #healthy #athleisure #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #vegan #movementremedy
I often jokingly refer to myself as the "class historian". When I'm with friends, I love capturing energetic and meaningful memories. Not necessarily to share on social media, but to reflect on in future days. I love nostalgia 💁🏼 . . It is a tough balance to manage participating and documenting, so I have made a rule for myself. If the moment is so special that a camera would ruin its intimacy, I forgo documenting it and remain fully present. I also don't edit or post anything until after the special event has finished, so that my time spent away from being present is kept to a minimum. . . We live in an age where presence is rare, capturing moments has turned in to social media one-upping, and authenticity is hard to come by. . . . Check in with yourself. When you look back on your life, are you more grateful for the intimate, fully-present moments you spent with your friends, art, music, family... or are you instead grateful for the perfectly posed social media photos and it's residual likes? #liveinthemoment and don't let this little screen take away from your actual experiences. Think about it. . . How do you guys handle this balancing act? I'm curious as to what you have discovered and any tips you might have! . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspiration #healthy #athleisure #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #vegan #movementremedy
Weekends are for catching up, boogying down, and recovering from your long and stressful week. Recovery and stress reduction is important if you live a nonstop lifestyle- stressful days and adrenaline pumping events. . . Adrenal fatigue is common among high-achievers, leaving us feeling exhausted after our long non-stop days and nights. In a culture that emphasizes performance and success above everything, it is important to recognize that it is so much easier to perform your best when you are maximizing your health. . . Feeling chronically tired, inflamed, experiencing weight gain and irritability are all signs of adrenal fatigue. We attribute these symptoms to "stress" or "getting older" but you can absolutely mitigate these symptoms and heal your body. . . How? Take a break. Reduce the stressors in your life or find a way to calm down throughout your day. Eat nourishing foods. Limit your high-intensity, long duration exercise - in talking you to you, you double-Barry's double-Soul cycle friends. Talk to your naturopath for advice on how to recover and restore your body's energy and metabolism to start finally feeling your best ✨ . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspiration #healthy #athleisure #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #vegan #movementremedy
Community over competition. . . . Competition is important in every profession to keep us sharp, but it is when competition is valued over community that problems arise. There will always be that colleague that gets a promotion, an opportunity, or an idea that is better than yours. Instead of running all of the "how do I one-up you" scenarios in your mind, try this instead: "Damn, girl! You're killing it!" ... doesn't that feel nice? . . . There are tons of other female trainers, health coaches, actors, and entrepreneurs that I could spend all day finding ways to be envious of their success, but instead I have embraced their strengths and nurtured authentic friendships with them. Now they are some of my best friends. And what better friends to have than those who truly understand your industry and it's nuances! I have tagged a few of my favorite examples of this phenomenon: great friendships born out of meeting at work, on set, or in the classroom. . . . I am so grateful to have dropped the competitive vibes a long time ago and embraced my beautiful, incredible, supportive and intelligent community of leaders, creators, and healers. #communityovercompetition . . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspiration #healthy #athleisure #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #vegan #movementremedy
Back to the Monday grind! Before dreading the work week ahead, try to think of a few things you are grateful for instead! I am grateful to be able to work with people I love, in a beautiful facility (@diakadibody 👋🏼), and to be able to apply my sports medicine knowledge constantly. Gratitude instead of attitude this week, friends! And if that doesn't work, just remember: only five more days until the weekend! 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspiration #healthy #athleisure #forceisfemale #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #vegan #movementremedy
