What You Want Matters

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

Today’s tarot pull: 5 of Wands + The Hanged Man (reversed)
Question: What should I focus on today?

Together, these cards reminded me:
✨ Tension isn’t always bad—it’s often the heat where transformation happens.
✨ When I resist the discomfort or try to “fix” it too quickly, I lose the opportunity to grow through it.

Instead of forcing resolution, I’m letting things breathe.

🧘‍♀️ My intention today: Stay curious inside the chaos. Pause. Observe.
The clarity comes in the pause—not after I push through it.

I started lifting at 17.
He did too.
Now I’m 52. He’s 32.
And we’re still at it—getting stronger, together.

He may lift more than me now…
but I’m still the one who taught him how to show up, fight hard, and flex with love. 💪

And yeah, he’s stronger.
But I’m still his mom.
So technically, I win. 😏
