When you experience loss, you see the world differently. When you experience community, you see humanity differently. When the two come together, light always shines through. ✨
Community reminds us that we are far more alike than we are different. It creates connection, unity, hope, and perspective. It breeds strength, and reminds us of our own resilience creating space and grace for healing. When you love deeply, you don’t always have to know the pain to feel it.
That’s the heart behind this work.
And that’s why these beautiful humans showed up.
To heal.
To love.
To pray.
To give.
To move.
To connect.
To remember.
To make a difference.
To honor all that is lost, and all that still remains.
I’m grateful to be a part of a community like this. 🩵
If you missed our memorial camp this past weekend, it’s not too late to support in honor of the Karrenbrock family. 🎁🙏🏼
Or maybe you’re in your own season of struggle. May this simply serve as a reminder that you don’t have to carry it alone. 🫶

Ten years ago, I took a leap of faith and bought into the Burn Boot Camp franchise. I had a fire in my belly and just enough market research to make this wild idea feel totally normal. So normal, I bought the entire market of St. Louis. Go big or go home.
I had never been to St. Louis. I didn’t know anyone. And, I had never run a business before. It didn’t matter. Purpose kept pulling me forward.
I wanted to help women reclaim their sense of self and unlock new potential. Fitness was the gateway.
On October 27th, 2017 I moved to St. Louis solo leaving my two-year-old daughter, five-year-old son, and husband behind. I didn’t understand the magnitude of what I was going to experience. The intense joys. The lonely lows. Perhaps it was better that way. With time, my family and I reunited under one roof here in St. Louis, and I opened five locations spanning from 2017 to 2023. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to lead, serve, learn, and grow in this way.
Why do I share this?
After a lot of reflection, I’ve made the decision to no longer pursue opening additional Burn Boot Camp locations.
My children are no longer toddlers. Where I’m needed has evolved. Life looks different, and so does the impact of my presence.
In a society where we can be consumed with “more,” for me, it’s now about depth. Simplicity. Presence. Connection. With my family. With my employees. With my members. With myself.
It has taken me almost two years to fully untangle and honor the spider web of emotions tied to this decision. I love this brand. I have loved opening gyms. I have even loved the puzzle of figuring it all out. My experiences have shaped me for the better. But now, it’s time to return to my roots and rekindle the magic that can sometimes get lost in expansion.
I’m no longer going big.
I’m just going home.
Thank you HQ for the gift of a lifetime, and every person who’s supported me along this journey of growth and expansion.
See you in camp. 🩵

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on my presence.
I’ve been hearing my daughter’s voice in my ear:
“Mom, will you be home tomorrow morning to do my hair?”
Lately, the answer was often “no.”
And every time I said it out loud, it crushed me.
She’s in fifth grade. Hair matters.
But it was never really about her hair.
It was about me being there.
And every time I wasn’t, she felt it. I felt it.
Yet, my presence wasn’t wasted. It was being given somewhere else, with real intention and real purpose.
I’m fortunate to feel such a pull on my heart. I am surrounded by pockets of purpose at every corner I turn. But sometimes, when you confuse availability for impact, your internal compass begins to glitch. 🧭
Presence doesn’t start with being louder, busier, or more available. It starts with capacity. And capacity is created through self-care. 🧘🏻‍♀️
I’m realizing that my greatest impact isn’t always the loudest one.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s small.
Sometimes it looks like guessing my way through a fishtail braid. 🎀
Do you ever feel pulled between something you love and something you love? ✨ What a gift.
Hold space for yourself and you’ll know exactly where your presence is being called in that next moment. 🩵

I spent years running on empty, calling exhaustion “commitment,” and putting myself last in the name of love and responsibility.
But, I later realized my impact multiplies when I take care of myself first.
I became more present as a mother.
More patient at home.
More grounded as a leader.
More confident in my own voice.
Prioritizing myself makes me more available.
To love deeper.
To experience the moments more fully.
To lead better.
To give from a place of wholeness instead of depletion.
If you want to show up fully for the people you love most, show up for yourself first. the best version of yourself. Self-neglect doesn’t just hurt you, but it affects everyone around you. The version of you that’s healthy and ALIVE serves all. 🩵
That choice changes everything.✨

I wanted to stop a million times. Not just here in this moment, but in my fitness journey. Day one was hard. Day 17 was hard. Day 1,296 was hard.
Challenges will always come. Motivation will always drop. But, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed or that you’re not capable. ❌ It means you haven’t fully committed to the process of becoming. 🌱
Momentum stays steady in the presence of commitment.
From deciding, again and again, to support yourself even when the energy dips or the path feels unclear - momentum builds. 🎯
When you sense your motivation drop, simply pause - but don’t give up. Recenter. Commit to the version of you that is waiting to come alive. ✨ Ask yourself this question:
👉What does it cost me to stop choosing myself?👈
It may be hard, but giving up is harder. Keep going. 🩵

I made an intentional decision to leave Corporate America many years ago. The more I got to know myself, the clearer (and scarier…) my direction became. I was willing to risk the comfort of a steady paycheck for a future that felt more authentic to who I was.
Freedom.
Connection.
Impact.
Community.
Health.
PASSION.
Passion isn’t fluffy. It’s not a luxury. It’s not only reserved for the lucky. It lives within every single one of us - but only some of us slow down long enough to feel it. ✨And once you do, you protect it with your whole being.✨
Because when you realize that your passion fuels your energy, and your energy shapes the quality of your life, a passionless life stops being an option.
Perhaps you feel empty, disconnected, or even stuck right now. It’s not because you’re broken. It’s because something inside you is asking to be felt again. Begging, actually.
In 30 years, it’s not the to-do lists that you’ll remember. It’s your passion. 🩵
Feel it. Feed it. Protect it fiercely.⚡️

When you view food as medicine, eating healthy is no longer a chore. It’s an opportunity. But even then, this isn’t enough for most people. The knowledge is there, and even the desire - so what’s missing?
✨Vision.✨Knowing exactly how you want to feel and who you want to be 5, 10, 20, 30 years from now matters. A clear vision creates a calm belief. The belief that it’s possible. As I age, I want to my fit lifestyle to grow with me so I can live without barriers.
I want my grandkids to ask if Grandma is joining the family hike. 👵🏼 I want to dance with Ted to Whitney Houston far after my toes are wrinkled and worn. 💃🏻 I want to keep playing Twister with Clara so I can hear her giggles no matter our age. 🤸🏻 I want to spend my time doing what I love, not counting pain pills. 📚 I want to dance with Connor at his wedding. 🕺🏼 I want to be able to care for my parents if they need me. ❤️ I want to travel the world. 🌎 I want to laugh more than I complain. 🤭 I want to tie my own shoes. 👟 I want to move my living room furniture on a rainy Tuesday without asking for help. 🛋️ I want to experience as much as life is willing to offer me for as long as I can. 🌅 The big. The small. The burpees. 🔥All of it.
I take care of myself because I believe that version of me exists both now, and in the future. It’s not a vision anchored in hope. It’s a vision anchored in belief. When your vision is clear, making decisions and building new habits becomes easier. Confidence builds, the path becomes paved, and your North Star shines a little brighter. 🌟
What’s your vision for yourself?

Most vision boards start with what you want. Not mine.
This workshop starts with who you’re becoming.✨
Because clarity doesn’t come from cutting out pictures. It comes from slowing down long enough to understand why something matters to you in the first place. A heavy focus on the finish line strips you of the joy in the journey, and often leaves you feeling deflated and frustrated along the way.
🧠 Align & Design🎨 is a 2-part, 60-minute experience designed for anyone who feels a little stuck, uncertain, or ready for more intention in 2026.
🧠 Part 1: Alignment
Guided reflection to uncover your values, direction, and the deeper “why” behind your goals.
🎨 Part 2: Design
The vision board becomes the visual byproduct of that clarity, not the starting point.
Tranformation is my ultimate passion. The work of creating a space for people to think, feel, reflect, and reconnect with what actually matters, then helping them turn insight into intentional action. 👏🏻
If you’re craving clarity, direction, or a reset… this is for YOU. 🩵
And if you’re a leader or organization looking to create meaningful, purpose-driven experiences for your team, DM me! 💌
🗓️ Saturday, January 18th
⏱ 10:30-11:30am
📍
🎟️ Free | sign up in gym | all supplies included
💫 Come aligned. Leave clear. Can’t wait!
