She says she’s fine.

And maybe she is.

But you also know your kid’s version of fine.

You know when she’s moving differently. When she suddenly avoids something she normally does without thinking. When “it’s nothing” sounds a little too rehearsed.

You do not need to diagnose her.

You just need to notice that something changed.

That’s information.

I’ll be in Irvine Saturday doing free 10-minute movement + performance check-ins.

Bring me the weird thing she keeps insisting is “probably nothing.”

I have questions. 😂

I want your daughter to be tough.

I want her to compete, struggle, fail, work hard, and learn how to keep going.

I also want her to know when her body is saying, “Hey. Something changed.”

Those are not opposites.

Being a good athlete is not learning to ignore your body until somebody else decides the problem is serious enough.

It is learning the difference between hard and wrong.

That is a skill.

And frankly, I think we should be teaching girls that skill a hell of a lot earlier.

I’ll be in Irvine Saturday doing free 10-minute movement + performance check-ins.

If your athlete has something that keeps feeling “off,” come let me ask annoying questions about it. 😂

I’ll be in Irvine on Saturday, Sept. 12 doing free 10-minute movement + performance check-ins at the Walk/Run to End Child Marriage & Human Trafficking.

And no, I am not going to diagnose your entire body in 10 minutes because that would be ridiculous. 😂

What I can do is look at how you move, hear what your body has been telling you, and ask a few better questions.

Maybe something always feels weird when you run.
Maybe one side gets tired first.
Maybe you have an old injury you technically “recovered” from but still don’t totally trust.
Maybe you’re training hard and have no idea whether your body is actually keeping up with the ask.

That is information.

Your body is constantly giving you data. The trick is learning how to listen to it without either ignoring everything or assuming every weird sensation means something is terribly wrong.

Come find me.

👟 Free 10-minute movement + performance check-ins
📍 Trabuco Center — 5701 Trabuco Road, Irvine
📅 Saturday, Sept. 12
⏰ 9:00 a.m. arrival

Come walk. Come run. Come ask me what the hell your body is trying to tell you.

My heart (and my hands) are completely full after this weekend. 🧡

A massive, deeply felt thank you to everyone who stopped by the Head 2 Toe Strength pop-up at the LaborDay Tournament at The Rinks - Lakewood ICE!

Getting to speak with, work on, and connect with so many incredible athletes, families, and performers reminded me exactly why I do this. There is nothing quite like the energy of a community showing up, pushing boundaries, and taking care of their bodies. To everyone who trusted me with their bodies, shared their stories, or just came by to swap energy, it was an absolute honor to serve you.

The tournament might be over, but the work doesn’t stop here.

If I worked on your neck this weekend, if we chatted about your movement mechanics, or if you are simply ready to stop treating chronic physical pain as "just part of being an athlete" come find me. You are a badass, but you don't have to live in pain to prove it.

Here is how you can find me and get your body feeling optimal:

Hi, I’m Bethany. 👋

Exercise scientist. Strength specialist. Speaker. Podcast host. Professional translator of “science words” into actual human language.

I spend a lot of time talking about strength, women’s health, bodies that don’t behave like textbooks, and why “just push through it” is usually a pretty sh*tty plan.

You can find me:
🎙️ talking into a microphone on UpLift Women’s Wellness
🎤 occasionally talking into a bigger microphone in front of actual humans
🏋️ coaching, teaching, and asking an unreasonable number of questions about why your body does what it does

If you’re new here: hi.
If you’ve been here awhile: you already know what you signed up for.

Want more Bethany?

Stick around. I have thoughts. A lot of them.

August was full in the best possible way.

It started with and , then an incredible event at with not one, but three Olympic track athletes.

From there came The Next Play: Investing in the Next Generation of Women in Sports with and , volunteering with , content creation, birthday parties, puppies, and all the little moments in between.

And I ended the month tabling at .

What I keep noticing is how much energy there is around women’s sports right now. Not just on the field or court, but in the communities being built around it. Coaches, athletes, fans, organizers, business owners, volunteers, brands, and people who simply care enough to keep showing up.

August gave me a lot of chances to be in those rooms, meet people doing really cool work, and keep learning where I want to contribute.

I’m very grateful for all of it.

Also, any month that includes women’s sports, puppies, and roller derby is objectively hard to complain about. 😏

Happy National Dog Day to the two 70 lb reasons I apparently need strength training. 😂

Walking them? Loaded carry with unpredictable lateral forces.
Someone sees a squirrel? Surprise max-effort isometric.
Both decide to go in opposite directions? Advanced anti-rotation training.

I love these ridiculous animals more than is reasonable. 🐾

Also increasingly convinced dog moms deserve their own strength program. Just saying. 👀
