Engagement for Pelvic Alignment + Breath
Core engagement isn’t about bracing hard or sucking everything in, but if that helps the visual- go with it.

It’s about intelligent stabilization.
Practice:
• Engage the deep core (transversus abdominis + pelvic floor)
• Stack the rib cage over the pelvis
• Create diaphragmatic coordination
• Protect the lumbar spine
• And still breathe efficiently through the upper body

When the pelvis and diaphragm communicate well, the low back doesn’t overwork.

You can practice to see and feel how:
– The lower core gently draws inward
– The pelvis stays neutral (not tipped forward or tucked aggressively)
– The ribs soften down without collapsing the chest
– Breath expands into the upper ribs while the deep core stabilizes below

This is how we build strength without compressing the spine.
Alignment + breath = longevity.
Consistency with this foundation is what creates sustainable strength and stamina.

Moss and Matter 62: Self-care is often framed as something indulgent.
Something we do when we have extra time.

The truth is, real self-care is leadership.
It’s self-authority in action.

It’s choosing to regulate your nervous system instead of living in survival mode.🙏

It’s choosing to protect your energy instead of abandoning yourself to everyone else’s needs.
It’s choosing consistency over chaos.

Because when you take care of yourself, you’re not just “resting.”
You’re building capacity.✨

You’re building clarity.
You’re building resilience.

And you’re sending yourself a message that matters:
“I am safe with me.”
“I am worth showing up for.”
“I can be trusted to lead my own life.”

You’re also sending g the message to others- that you matter, that you take up space, that you are showing up with aligned respect for yourself - that they should lead with that energy. 🙌
Self-care isn’t an aesthetic.
It’s the foundation of the life you’re creating.

Self-care isn’t indulgent—it’s leadership.
It’s self-authority in action: regulating your nervous system, protecting your energy, and building capacity to live aligned.

Neuroplasticity tells us this:
The pathways you practice become the story you live.
Your brain is not fixed.
It is adaptive.

What you repeatedly expose yourself to —
the conversations, the environments, the relationships, the content —
literally wires your nervous system.

Neurons that fire together, wire together.

Which means this:

You are not just reacting to life.
You are rehearsing it.

If you surround yourself with criticism, chaos, distraction —
your brain strengthens those networks.

If you surround yourself with growth, clarity, discipline, expansion —
your brain strengthens those instead.

Environment becomes identity.
Repetition becomes belief.
Belief becomes behavior.
Behavior becomes story.

Here’s the plot twist:

You are the author.

You don’t rewrite your story by wishing.
You rewrite it by choosing what you practice daily.

Choose your inputs.
Choose your circles.
Choose your standards.
Choose to participate actively in who you are becoming.

This is authorship.✨

I’ll send you the link to work with me inside my online coaching platform.

Functional Movement: Arm Strength Rebuild Series
This arm series was originally designed for my clients rebuilding strength after injury —
but the principles apply to everyone.
I use them regularly to help maintain my ROM with my job.👌
We’re focusing on the anterior deltoid, full shoulder range of motion, controlled presses, triceps integration, and row combinations to balance the shoulder complex.
So modifying where needed is essential🙌

The goal isn’t just to lift weight.
It’s to restore capacity.

Anterior deltoid work supports forward-reaching strength and overhead mechanics.
Rows reinforce posterior stability and scapular control.
Press variations retrain coordinated shoulder movement.
Triceps work supports joint integrity and pushing power.

When we train through full, controlled range of motion, we rebuild neuromuscular confidence — especially after injury.

This is how we create resilient shoulders:
Strength in front.
Stability in back.
Mobility through the full arc.

And as always — consistency matters more than intensity.

If you’re rebuilding strength — or simply want stronger, more capable arms — save this series and repeat it a few times weekly.
Progress gradually.
Move intentionally.
Build durability.

Moss and Matter 61: allowing the feelings- and showing up. There are moments where energy feels weighted down—
stress, grief, uncertainty, pressure, old patterns resurfacing.

And I want to say this clearly:
You’re allowed to feel it.
They can act as portals for diving into that healing.
-But- you are not meant to be overtaken by it.

The practice is learning how to hold what’s real—
without letting it become the only thing you see.

This is where growth mindset becomes more than positivity.
It becomes resilience.

It sounds like:
“Yes, this is hard… and… I’m still here.”
“Yes, I’m carrying a lot… and …I’m still choosing my next aligned step.”
“Yes, I feel the weight… and… I’m still willing to look for beauty.”

Because beauty doesn’t erase the challenge—
it reminds your nervous system that you’re safe enough to keep going.

So this month, we’re not bypassing the heavy.
We’re learning how to move with it—
and still stay rooted in light.

Functional Fitness | Core Strength Series
This sequence targets deep core engagement through extended-leg positions that challenge stability, control, and endurance.

We move through combinations of:
• Boat pose holds
• Toe taps
• Scissor kicks
• Overhead lat pulls paired with controlled leg drops
The focus isn’t speed—it’s time under tension.
Longer engagement builds strength that actually translates to daily movement and posture.

✨ Key cues:
• Draw the navel in and up
• Keep the spine long, chest open
• Control the descent of the legs
• Modify by bending knees or reducing range when needed

Progress comes from consistency over reps—meeting your body where it is and staying intentional with each movement.

Strong core.
Stable spine.
Functional power for life.

Save this for your next core session 💪

As we continue in the Pisces Moon energy, the month of January ending, the winter season, let us remember: we’re invited into a different kind of intention setting.

I just led a winter retreat, it was filled with magic.
It’s a beautiful reminder of calibration even if you have no idea of the moon signs, or astrology, and simply move with seasons.
This energy isn’t about force or urgency.
It’s about alignment.
Intuition.
And creating from a place of inner clarity rather than pressure.

This is a powerful moment to pause and ask yourself:
Where does my energy actually want to go?

Instead of setting ten goals, I invite you to choose one.
One tangible focus you’re willing to bring awareness, care, and consistency to.

Not because it’s urgent—
but because it’s aligned.

When we bring focused attention to one area of our life, the nervous system softens.
Clarity increases.
And creation becomes more sustainable.

This is the kind of work I love holding space for—
slowing down enough to listen,
and choosing our next steps with intention.

Whether you do this quietly on your own,
or inside a shared container designed for reflection and authorship,
this new moon is an invitation to create from presence.

One focus.
One aligned step.
That’s where momentum begins.

What are you closing chapters with?
What are you germinating?
What are you reflecting and inviting into your space this year?
🌿

End of January | Pisces New Moon Energy
The end of January isn’t asking us to rush forward.
It’s asking us to pause.

With the Pisces New Moon, we’re working with an energy of release, intuition, and quiet recalibration. This is a moment to soften control, listen inward, and allow clarity to rise without forcing outcomes.

This season is about dreaming softly and grounding intentionally.
Not setting rigid goals—but choosing aligned direction.
Not overcommitting—but honoring what your nervous system can sustain.

Instead of asking “What should I do next?”
Try asking:
• What am I ready to release?
• Where is my energy asking for protection?
• What feels true beneath the noise?

This is where creation begins—not from pressure, but from presence.
Not from urgency, but from alignment.

As we move into this next chapter, the invitation is simple:
Slow your pace.
Trust your intuition.
Choose one grounded action that supports the version of you you’re becoming.

This is how we create—with intention, integrity, and embodied awareness.

Wait for it- this is real.
Rest Is an Action- 👌
Rest is often treated as a reward.
Something we earn only after exhaustion.

But rest is not passive.
Rest is an action.

It regulates the nervous system.
It restores cognitive function.
It allows the body to repair and recalibrate.

When we choose rest intentionally, we’re not opting out of productivity.
We’re choosing longevity.

Rest allows clarity to surface.
It strengthens decision-making.
And it creates resilience instead of depletion.

In winter especially, rest is not optional—it’s biological.

Honor it as part of your strategy, not an exception to it.
Rest is not passive—it’s strategic.
It restores the nervous system, supports clarity, and builds resilience.

Honor rest as part of your growth.
