🔥 LIFT A TON | LIFT EACH OTHER 🔥
(Reflections from Uplift Boulder + upcoming 11/22 fundraiser)
This weekend’s Lift-a-Ton Fundraiser at Uplift Boulder was… honestly, magic.
Not the mystical kind—
the real kind.
The kind born from a wildly diverse community of people choosing to show up, push limits, sweat together, and cheer each other on like family.
In a world that feels increasingly polarized and disconnected, this kind of togetherness is medicine. No posturing. No peacocking Just real humans, giving 100%, seeing each other, and remembering what it feels like to belong.
One thing I love about lifting weights:
you can’t fake it.
Every rep is the sum total of your choices, your discipline, your rest, your courage, your character.
No peacocking. No pretending. The bar tells the truth—and somehow, that truth feels freeing.
And at Uplift?
I’ve never experienced a more genuine, encouraging, radically inclusive training environment.
All ages, all shapes, all abilities—ALL celebrated.
The membership requirement is simple:
Show up. Give your best. Bring a generous heart.
For me personally, I hit all my goals—but the highlight was my son Michael behind me, screaming and cheering me through my final lifts.
That moment…I’ll remember it forever.
I want to be someone who inspires him not through words, but through how I live. Through effort. Through courage. Through wholeheartedness.
Life moves quickly.
We’re here, and then we’re gone.
So:
Give 100%.
Be radically yourself.
Be kind.
Say yes to the fires that refine you.
Face what scares you.
Find your people—because most friends come and go, but a few will walk with you through storms and sunshine alike.
And family…family is the most beautiful, sacred, messy, transformative gift of all. Don’t miss a beat of it.
So that’s the wisdom born from lifting a ton.
It’s not about the weight—it’s about who we become in the process.
