I didn’t start with marathons.

I didn’t start with half marathons and I sure as hell didn’t start with ultras. I started with learning how to walk again after my body had been warm down from Lupus.

It was hard, humbling, and frustrating but sticking to it is what got me here.

My message to other autoimmune/chronic illness folks who want to move more and possibly even run? You just have to start.

The difference between then and now is that NOW you’ve got someone (ME) who can help you do just that. Not only do I have the education and certifications, I have the LIVED experience. And that makes all the difference.

If you’re ready to get moving, comment MOVE below and I’ll send over more info. ✨

This is not a hardcore motivational post, but a genuine question. How are you investing in yourself?

An easy enough question, but it can stump a lot of folks - especially in times like this. I’m not immune to it either. I have to work very hard at flipping the script in my head so it’s not all doom and gloom. I have to remind myself of the immense opportunities I do have. I have to remind myself to take advantage of them because my wellness allows others to be well, directly & indirectly.

I invest in myself by moving my body, getting enough sleep, going to therapy, singing out loud in the car, and dancing in the kitchen while I meal prep. I also invest in myself by working hard to keep myself healthy, clothed and housed. It’s the work that goes into that sort of maintenance that is often unseen, rarely glamorous, but always worth it.

Just some of my musings on today’s run. Curious to know how YOU’RE investing in YOU! ✨

58% of people worldwide know little or nothing about lupus.

That number hit me when I read it, because I am one of the millions of people living inside that gap of understanding.

The World Lupus Federation released a global survey for World Lupus Day on May 10th, 2026, and the findings are sobering. Nearly half the respond didn’t know lupus can affect any organ in the body. Nearly half didn’t know it can be fatal. And nearly 1 in 5 believed it was contagious.

This is why visibility matters. This is why those of us living with lupus keep talking. Not because it’s easy, but because the silence costs people diagnose, support, and time they don’t have to lose.

If you know someone with lupus, the most powerful thing you can do is learn. Share this. Ask questions. Believe us when we tell you how we feel. Thats where it starts. ✨

Except it takes 4-7 years on average, more appointments then you care to keep track off, and constantly fighting the “have you tried…” advice. 🤪

This episode hits close to home. ✨

Because “take it easy” Ian always said with bad intentions. Sometimes it comes from doctors who care but don’t have the tools. Sometimes it comes from coaches who don’t know how to adapt your plan. And sometimes, if it’s honest, it’s something we start saying to ourselves after enough setbacks.

But there is a significant difference between listening to your body and setting a permanent ceiling on what it can do. And too many athletes with chronic illness have been handed that ceiling without ever being given the option to push it.

You deserve a plan that is actually built for where you are now and where you’d like to go. If you’ve been living with an autoimmune condition or chronic illness and are looking to add movement into your lifestyle, sign up for a free discovery all - 🔗in bio!
