If you’re anything like me, you struggle with being able to do things if you’re not able to do them perfectly.

Can’t go for a walk today? Yell at yourself.

Can’t do your full workout? Don’t do it (and yell at yourself).

Don’t have a lot of energy? Yell at yourself.

Sometimes you just don’t have it in you—and that’s fine. Practice setting it down until you can pick it up again. Do less instead of doing nothing.

Are you a recovering perfectionist or is it just me?

You fix it, or as close to it as you can. It takes a long time because that’s the time it takes. It’s hard and it’s not fair and it sucks and you do it anyway.

Because I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend more months of my life unable to walk, too sick to move, and being told “adjust to a new normal” by another goddamn healthcare professional who’s supposed to help me.

You with me? 🔮✨💜

Every month I do a check in with my clients to see how things are going and how we can make them better.

We celebrate the small wins here. We cheer each other on and work on being nicer to ourselves when we make mistakes. We find a balance between self discipline and self compassion and show up for ourselves because we're worth it.

Stoked! Drop a 🔥 in the comments if you're stoked too!

I’ve been feeling weak as hell lately, don’t feel strong, and have one or two good days every month.

But we show up anyway. Because that’s how you get better.

Here’s to doing the work, immune system be damned.

If you think you can’t, you’re right. If you think you can, you’re right.

All of my clients have come to me feeling frustrated, hopeless, like they’re broken and they’ll never be able to be who they want to be, or do what they want to do.

The best part of my job is watching them prove to themselves over and over exactly how capable they are, and how much cool s**t is within reach if they keep showing up and trying.

If you agree that they rock, leave a 🔥🔥🔥in the comments for me.

The last several days I’ve been super sick (not like 😎🛹🤘🏽but like 🤒🤧😵‍💫) and moving around has been pretty low on the list of realistic possibility. So here are a small handful of stretches to do when you feel like absolute death but still need to move around.

✨ How to cook chicken: a primer for those of us who may not know.

For the longest time I thought chicken was super hard to cook and could only ever turn out dry and chewy as f**k—turns out I wasn’t having well-cooked chicken, the more you know. I was afraid of it until maybe 2017 and then I got over my fears, and between a meat thermometer and a dream I was able to make really fu***ng good chicken. So here you go.

If this was helpful, please drop a food emoji in the comments! I want to make stuff people can actually use so feedback is always appreciated.

Getting better is hard, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing.

I don’t want to make it sound easy because it’s not.

You can do it. I really truly believe you can. And if you need help, please reach out. I’d love to help if you need it!

Expect some days to look different than others, and don't feel bad about it. Your path is a marathon, not a sprint

August was strange.

I got diagnosed with lupus/UCTD in July, and started on medications for it. Suddenly I’ve gone from not even liking to take ibuprofen to taking six pills every morning. But, you know what, if it actually gets me my life back, I’m all for it.

I’m always really impressed by people who can live blog their diagnoses. I’m still trying to figure out how much I’m comfortable sharing. I feel like this whole year has been a parade of doctor’s appointments and feeling like I’m constantly falling down a bottomless hole. I’m still trying to find my way out.

I’m grateful for having a good doctor, who listens. I’m grateful for clients and work and my partner, who rocks, and my weird dog and the stray spooky cat who may or may not agree to being adopted by us.

Chronic illness sucks but I’m nothing if not obstinate. So, I keep working on the plan. Keep looking for things I can do anyway. Because I want to keep doing things, even if looks different than the things I did before.

If you’re here, thanks for being here. I’m really glad you’re here.
