A little glimpse into a week at Strive. 💛

🥋 At the Warrior’s Den, our kids, teen/adult and ladies karate programs are back, along with ladies kickboxing. Most classes are full or close to it, and I’m intentionally keeping our groups small.

Yes, we train martial arts, but the deeper work is learning to know yourself. Building confidence in who you are. Connecting with yourself and others. Stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering your own strength.

That same work looked different in other spaces this week.

I worked one on one with an older adult, using movement and mindset to help her recognize what is still possible and build greater confidence in herself and her body.

At Acton Academy Lanark, I loved watching the kids embrace something new, take risks and step outside their comfort zones. There is something special about a community where kids feel safe to show up as themselves and challenge themselves.

And I’m preparing to return to Child In Mind for another Therapeutic Martial Arts program, using movement and martial arts to support self regulation, confidence and connection.

Different ages. Different spaces. Different needs.

But the heart of the work is the same.

Know yourself. Connect with yourself. Trust yourself. Challenge yourself.

And step into your own power. 💛🥋

I’ve been thinking a lot about the conversations we don’t make enough space for.

The ones that aren’t about fixing ourselves or becoming someone different, but about getting curious about who we are right now.

What’s working? What isn’t? What do I want more of? What am I ready to let go of? What happens when I trust myself a little more?

This fall, I’m bringing together a small group of women for a 10-week journey to explore exactly that.

Through conversation, reflection, movement and real connection, we’ll create space to go a little deeper, challenge ourselves, and get clearer on what we want moving forward.

If this feels like something you’ve been craving, send me a message. I’d love to tell you more. ❤️

I want to invite you to come on a 10-week journey with me.

And this isn’t about finding yourself, because you’re not lost.

It’s about creating the space to connect more deeply with yourself.

To slow down enough to really notice what’s working in your life… and what isn’t.

What you want more of.

What you might be holding onto that no longer fits.

Where you’ve been putting yourself last, playing small, or simply moving through life without stopping to ask, “Is this actually what I want?”

Over these 10 weeks, we’re going to explore all of that together.

There will be conversation and reflection, but also experiences, movement and intentional challenges that help you get out of your head and actually feel and experience the shifts we’re talking about.

You’ll have space to reconnect with your strengths, trust yourself more deeply, get clearer on what you want, and start making choices that feel more aligned with who you are and the life you want to be living.

You don’t need to have anything figured out before you come.

You just need to be willing to show up, be curious, and give yourself the space to explore.

If something in you is saying, “I need this,” I’d love to have you join me for these 10 weeks.

🦸 Superhero Week at Baywood Camp!

This week, I brought Strive Martial Arts into Baywood's Summer Camp for a special Superhero Week workshop.

We explored what it means to discover and use the strengths already within us.

Through martial arts, movement, and practical activities, the kids worked on:

🥋 Using a strong, confident voice and setting boundaries
💪 Standing tall, making eye contact, and showing confidence
🌬️ Using breath and calmness to support self-control and emotional regulation
⚡ Feeling strong, capable, and empowered in their bodies
🛡️ Learning practical, age-appropriate self-defence skills

Because being strong isn’t just about being able to defend yourself. It’s knowing how to use your voice, manage big emotions, trust yourself, and recognize the power you already have within you.

A great way to celebrate Superhero Week by helping kids discover the superhero within themselves.
