๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Look, the most important thing here is to understand your effort needs to match your expectations. If your expectations are greater than your effort, youโ€™ll be disappointed day after day.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ We all know perfection is not the name of the game, but consistency is. If your consistency only lies in showing up for your training & you want to grow as a competitive athlete, itโ€™s time to find consistency in other areas of your training.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Whatever you do, make sure your effort matches your expectations & own it! You get out of your training what you put into.

๐Ÿ’— My affirmation for 2026 is โ€œAn abundance of love flows from me & to me.โ€

๐Ÿ’— The last two years have been a bit of a fever dream. Mixed with wins & losses. Much of it filled with betrayal, loss & grief. Itโ€™s made my heart a little harder, the walls a little bigger & has take me back to a place of self protection.

๐Ÿ’— I see my reflection in the mirror & know she has been hiding deep wounds just to show up everyday. And the wounds show up even when I try to protect myself from them. I see the mistakes Iโ€™ve made in past relationships. I see the ways I could be a better parent just by showing up with more love. I see the ways in which I was not equipped to love without fear creeping in. The fear of giving too much, just to have it all taken away.

๐Ÿ’— I know in order to receive love, I must radiate love into this world. I wish to bring more calm safe love into my life. The kind of safe love my family deserves, the people in my life deserve & I deserve.

๐Ÿ’— So hereโ€™s to radiating more intentional, vulnerable, calming love in 2026.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ A lot of folks are going to be looking for quick fixes to feel & look better in the next month. Not to disappoint yโ€™all, but they donโ€™t work & add little to no value to your life long term.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Heavy lifting with consistency, even just 2 days a week will have a powerful impact on how you move through the world, your over all health & bring a feeling of youthfulness to your life.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ If youโ€™re ready to step into the long game of feeling better, moving better & looking better all through the power of iron, reach out for a consultation today.

๐Ÿž The holiday season can be a challenging time. And having gatherings where people want to police your body & food, can make it even harder.

๐Ÿช May this be the year you set that boundary!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Just a reminder to all you mommyโ€™s, youโ€™re already doing the hardest job there is. So trust me when I tell you, you are stronger & more capable than you even know.

Powerlifting is what you make of it. How you show up & what you get from it, is up to you.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ I started powerlifting in October of 2021. In November, I was home sick with Covid & signed up for my first meet. By February of 2022, I had competed in my first competition & drank the kool-aid hard.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ To be fair, I had several years of barbell experience under my belt from six years of CrossFit, BUT it was not the same. I went into that meet with the perfect blend of delusional thoughts, confidence & wanting to have a good time. I really donโ€™t remember being that nervous, as it was such a new experience. I was more excited than anything.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ By 2023, I received my USPA Powerlifting & Strength Coach Certification.
I wanted to be able to bring this sport into more lives, as it has had a powerful impact on mine.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ If you have a coach that can get you to execute the big three within the first 6th months to a year of lifting, I encourage you to compete. Even if you never compete again, what do you have to lose by testing your own personal best?

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Never let the fear of the unknown or drive for perfection, keep you from exploring your own personal growth.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Looking for a coach that can take you there? Reach out today for coaching options both in-person & remotely.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Currently in my 8th meet prep & every prep brings the opportunity to learn more & grow as a lifter. For me, it also means growth as a coach.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ I believe many powerlifters ignore the work they actually need to be doing verses the work they think they need to be doing. And I speak from experience.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ You can keep loading the bar all you want, but at some point the external factors outside of the load choices & where you can grow, will catch up with you.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ If youโ€™re struggling with any of this & are not sure where to start, reach out to your coach & get them on the same page as you. As coaches we should have the resources to support you or refer you to someone who can help. A coach should be more than a programmer.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ If youโ€™re ready to elevate your lifting & become a more well rounded athlete in the gym & outside of the gym, hit me up. Iโ€™d love to hear from you. I am currently accepting remote strength athletes & have a couple openings on my in person books.
