Thank you to the Nc100BW, Inc. - Pensacola Chapter for the 2025 Health Advocate of The Year Award.

Also, major thank you to my mom Retired Judge Joyce Williams & Kelle Daniels for accepting this award of my behalf.

Health Advocacy can come in many forms, yet my hope is that my life is an example for others to see even the smallest thing I share and take action.

Because too often, especially in our community, we wait. We wait through pain, through discomfort, through uncertainty. And by the time we seek help, we’ve already been carrying far more than we should have had to.

My journey with fibroids, my work as a pelvic floor therapist, and my passion for movement have all shown me one truth: our bodies are always speaking. Learning to listen is pivotal.

Thank you❤️

As a runner myself, I know there’s so much nuance in training. Mileage, experience level, recovery, goals…none of it is one-size-fits-all. But I also remember what it felt like to be brand new to the space. No run club yet. No coach. Just trying to figure out where to start and hoping I was doing it “right.”

That’s why conversations about minimum mileage matter. Not everyone starts with a big base, and the reality is many runners need a simple entry point that feels doable. Research-backed training approaches often suggest beginners gradually building toward roughly 15–25 miles per week with long runs around 10 miles, while more experienced runners may train closer to 20–30 miles depending on goals. 

I’m grateful to be featured in this piece with Runner’s World discussing how runners can think about mileage, consistency, and building endurance in a sustainable way.

If you’re a new runner trying to figure it all out, trust me—you’re not behind. You’re just getting started.

We are using the word stress ALOT right now. Let’s bring some education behind the word.

The difference between NORMAL and ABNORMAL stress isn’t how much you have it’s whether your body gets to recover.

Eustress (“good stress”) = short bursts that motivate and sharpen you ✅
Distress (“bad stress”) = chronic, unresolved, no recovery time ❌

If you’re always “fine” but always exhausted….that’s not normal. That’s your body asking for a reset.

Stress isn’t a mood…it’s a measurable biological event. And most of us are living in a chronic state of it without realizing it.

How to start tracking stress:

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Here’s how to begin noticing your stress before it becomes chronic:
1️⃣ Track your baseline - Note your energy, sleep quality, and mood each morning. Even a 1–10 scale daily tells you more than you think over 2 weeks.

2️⃣ Watch for the physical signals first — Tight jaw, shallow breathing, disrupted sleep, and frequent illness are your body’s early warning system. Most people ignore these until they become impossible to.

3️⃣ Log your triggers, not just your feelings — Don’t just write “I felt stressed.” Write what happened right before. Patterns will emerge faster than you expect.

4️⃣ Check your recovery — After a stressful event, how long does it take you to feel calm again? 20 minutes is normal. Still wired 3 hours later? That’s a signal worth paying attention to.

5️⃣ Use your resting heart rate as data — A consistently elevated RHR (above your personal normal) is one of the earliest measurable signs of chronic stress load. Most smartwatches track this for free.

The goal isn’t zero stress. It’s knowing when your body stopped recovering because that’s when stress stops being normal and starts becoming damage.

Let me say this clearly because some of y’all are irritated every time I say it.

Getting your nails done is not the problem. I love a fresh set too.

The problem is when we will schedule a nail appointment three weeks in advance… but “forget” to schedule our annual physical. When we know our tech’s availability better than we know our blood pressure. When we invest in polish but ignore pain.

That’s not self care. That’s avoidance dressed up as luxury.

You cannot outwork a bad diet.
And you cannot out-pamper poor health.

A pedicure does not regulate your hormones.
A fill-in does not strengthen your pelvic floor.
A spa day does not fix iron deficiency, unmanaged stress, or chronic inflammation.

Pampering is maintenance for the outside.
Healthcare is maintenance for the inside.

And if we’re being honest, real self care is often inconvenient. It is labs. It is uncomfortable conversations. It is physical therapy. It is saying no. It is going to bed. It is lifting weights. It is dealing with the thing.

You deserve the nails.
You also deserve longevity.

If that makes people mad, I’m okay with it. I would rather be slightly controversial than watch women slowly decline while looking polished.

You can’t out-pamper bad health.
Choose both beauty and responsibility.

I got to contribute to a Self magazine article talking about exercises that improve sex… but honestly this is really about how your body functions overall.

Because here’s what I see all the time with runners and gym-goers:

People are strong.
People are consistent.
People train hard.

…but they’re leaking during workouts, dealing with hip or low back tightness, or wondering why their core never quite feels stable no matter how many ab workouts they do.

That’s usually not a motivation problem.
It’s a missing-muscle problem.

Your pelvic floor works every time you run, lift, jump, brace, or push intensity. Ignoring it is like trying to train for performance while skipping an entire muscle group.

So if you’re active, this article is actually a really good starting point to understand what supports strength, endurance, and confidence both in and outside the gym.

Give it a read 👇🏽

And yes… your running and lifting performance are absolutely connected to this conversation.

Thank you to the best ever & of course for allowing me to be a part❤️🫶🏾🙏🏾

Last year, I had the privilege of speaking at more than 20 events, and one thing became very clear to me.

Every room holds two types of people.

There are those who lean in, hungry for real information because they are ready to grow, change, and do the work required to improve their lives.

And then there are those who arrive skeptical… sometimes even frustrated. Not because they don’t care, but because past experiences have taught them to question what they hear and protect themselves from disappointment.

Both belong in the room.

Because transformation rarely starts with certainty. Sometimes it begins with curiosity. Sometimes it begins with resistance.

My role isn’t just to educate. It’s to meet people wherever they are and help move them one step closer to better health, better understanding, and better outcomes.

Honored to have served as a retreat speaker at the You Are Beautiful Retreat hosted by the incredible Gaynelle Rhem.

There is something deeply meaningful about being trusted to speak into an intimate space where women show up open, honest, and ready to pour back into themselves.

We talked about health… but not the polished, surface-level version.
We had real conversations about caring for our bodies, honoring our seasons, and redefining wellness in a way that actually supports the lives we live.

Moments like these remind me why education matters most when it feels personal.

Grateful for every woman who shared space, energy, and vulnerability with me.

A performance is defined as the ex*****on or accomplishment of an action, task, or function.
Not intention. Not potential.
Ex*****on.

And that’s what life really is….a series of daily ex*****ons.

The small decisions.
The disciplined mornings.
The hard conversations.
The choices we make when motivation is nowhere to be found.

None of these moments feel significant on their own.
But together, they determine whether we finish strong.

You don’t finish strong because of one great moment.
You finish strong because of thousands of ordinary decisions performed well over time.

So today isn’t random.
It’s rehearsal.
It’s preparation.
It’s part of the performance.

Thank you for having me and allowing me to pour into our youth..our next leaders.
