Fortitude turned 5! 🎉💜⚡️
This past year was not “normal” in any way. It was, and still is, chaotic and heavy for many of us.
I often found myself feeling distracted and unmotivated to be online, which is not ideal when you own an online business.
On top of that, things were less stable personally, with a lot of change happening behind the scenes last year.
And yet, despite all of it, Fortitude had its best year yet.
It feels uncomfortable celebrating this “out loud” with everything else going on in the world, especially because I’ve always cared about people over profit.
But I’ve realized that I need to practice what I preach, and until I recently sat down to reflect on the past year, I really hadn’t given myself much credit.
We former athletes and achievers have a tendency to do that, don’t we? Always moving the goal posts and expecting more from ourselves…
All of this to say, I’m truly so proud of how far Fortitude has come these past 5 years and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has trusted me with their health, referred a friend or family member, listened to a podcast episode or been a guest on the show, joined a community hike, signed up for a self-care challenge, read my newsletter, or supported this dream of mine in any way. It’s truly meant the world to me!
More growth and change is surely coming in 2026, maybe more than ever, and unfortunately the chaos doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.
But I hope this can serve as a reminder to take the time to celebrate your wins in the middle of it all, no matter how big or small. Because they matter. You matter.
Your health, strength, resilience and empowerment matter more now than ever, and I’m honored to be your partner in continuing to building real, lasting fortitude.
Let’s keep going. ⚡️💪🏼
