What YOU want matters. When you know that, you can fully exist. This page is about mental health, fitness, nutrition, life, and love! All things I love! WHY?
I’m a recovering self-doubter. I grew up believing that what I want didn’t matter. And, when you believe that, you're an easy target to be taken advantage of, and to fall into things (work, relationships, etc…) you don’t really like, and that aren’t good for you. Currently, I’m a film-maker, writer, R+F skincare consultant, personal trainer, and happily married. Prior to that, I was in Semiconduct
I used to spend so much time focused on what my body looked like.
Now, I focus on what it allows me to do.

Somewhere inside every adult is a kid who just wants to play.
To climb the rock.
Jump in the lake.
Balance on their hands.
We spend so much of life asking,
“What should I do?”
Maybe a better question is…
“What do I want to do?”
Even if it looks a little ridiculous.
Especially if it looks a little ridiculous. 🤣
You already have wisdom inside you. The work is learning to hear it again.
Of course listen to other people. Try things. But if something doesn’t work for you. That’s okay! Take what works and leave the rest. Find what works for YOU.
I was just curious.
Could I do a pull-up with a kettlebell hanging from my waist? 🤷♀️
One of the world’s most limiting phrases is:
“I can’t.”
Most of the time, we don’t actually know what we can or can’t do.
We just stop ourselves before we ever find out.
❤️ What if you’re capable of more than you think?
You’ll never know unless you try.
What I’ve learned Post 50?
1. I need more recovery time. And warm-ups are nonnegotiable.
2. Everything’s dry. And I mean everything.
3. Things hurt. And, I don’t always know why.
BUT ALSO…
1. I’m not trying to be attractive to everyone anymore. Because I can’t. Cuz I’m old.
(And yes, I know I’m not “old” old but I’m older than I’ve ever been! And I certainly don’t look the same as I used too 🤷♀️)
2. I’m waaaay more comfortable in my skin. Bcuz I just don’t care if everybody likes me anymore. Bcuz I don’t even like people!
But I do (probably) like you. 🙂
What have you noticed post 50??? Tell me!!!

What if you’re not too late?
What if you’re right on time?
I made a lot of mistakes early on. Got a late start. Had to rebuild and start from scratch when everyone else was finding their stride.
I used to think it was too late for me.
But WHAT IF through all the hard times I learned exactly what I was supposed to learn, exactly when I was supposed to learn it. What if it’s not too late?
Sometimes one sentence changes the entire trajectory of your life.
For me it was four words:
✨What you want matters. ✨
Say it with me!
