New to protesting? It's not to late to decide you wanna join in! If it's anything like our previous events it will be inspiring, peaceful, and even kinda fun!

If anyone wants to find me this summer just follow the sound of the woman screaming at her child to stop hanging out of the gaping hole at the top of the playground. 🫠

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. ✌🏻🍪

The irony about this administration going after SSRI's is that they are the main cause of my anxiety. 🙃

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.

I think we actually need all of of this. And then to realize that WE are the only ones who are gonna dig ourselves out of this mess.

Me: reminding my clients to hydrate and that coffee is not a meal. Also me: finished my coffee before my water and still haven’t had breakfast yet. 🤪🙃🤡

Valentines day is a week and if you send my child home from preschool with a bag full of tiny plastic trinkets, I don't want to hear you complain about the cost of groceries ever again.

“These 3 exercises” and a set of 5lb dumbbells will not get you toned in 4 weeks. If you work out like her you’re gonna look like YOU.

To those asking us to lower our voices, to stop talking, to accept things and to just get along... Sorry but no can do #ThePoet

Are you lazy because you didn't feel like working out today? Or are you just living in a dystopian hellscape? 🙃

I can’t stop thinking about this one undecided voter I talked to while knocking doors in WI. You happy with your choice, Jacob? 🙃

Reading this today. “Hate is a disease.” What’s wild is that most of us can recognize a villain in a book or movie or show, but somehow can’t do the same when the call is coming from inside the house. 👀

If you're anything like my clients, the main thing you're trying to get out of your workouts is to finish feeling better physically and mentally than when you started. If that's you, don't get caught up in the details over what's "best". Just pick something you don't hate and move. It's really ok.

Yessss! I want nothing less than @aoc.bsky.social energy from all democratic leadership moving forward. Where are the rest of you?!?

A reminder I gave one of my dance students tonight that we could all use: don’t get so far ahead of yourself worrying about things that haven’t happened yet that you forget to be present in the good that is currently surrounding you. The past week + has been nothing short of a dystopian hellscape…

Pro tip: while I don’t encourage excessive or obsessive us of cardio machines, I do highly recommend it to help get blood flowing to promote heart health & help manage muscle soreness, and to read the Substacks/emails/Patreons of smart people helping us protect human rights and democracy. ✌🏻

To literally everyone I know: I don’t care if you gained or lost weight. I don’t like you better when you’re thinner. It’s so low on my priorities list when it comes to things I give a shit about. (This is also true if I don’t know you.) You’re welcome. 🩵

Ok but if we’re playing over here instead of IG, what’s the equivalent of stories? How am I supposed to share the novelties of my day & tell you to sign up for my kettlebell program because I name my workouts fun songs like pink pony club? The learning curve is real. My elder millennial is showing.

My goal is to be like these geese for the next 4 years. Relaxing, taking up space, giving 0 fucks, making things inconvenient for 🤡 supporters everywhere. 💅

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!
