It’s been one year since the biggest heartbreak I have ever had. It still doesn’t feel real. I still keep hoping to wake up from this nightmare and hug my father again.

I promise to continue to be the person you raised me to be. I will continue to practice love, empathy and kindness to all living creatures. I will continue to strive for purpose in life and utilize the strong work ethic you instilled in me. You were a light in this world, you touched countless lives helping animals an humans. I will always and forever be proud of my father.
I miss you every minute.
🙏❤️

13th half marathon. 1st time running La Jolla Half Marathon. A great time as always. Special thanks to my running family Laurie Irwin, Asako Suzuki, Manjot Gill. Even when I dont get to train with you, we still show up for each other, and I’m always one beat off in those jump pictures 😂😅
This one’s for you pops!! ❤️🙏

Going through endless piles and boxes getting ready to help Momma move. Came across what is likely the coolest picture of me that will ever exist.
Yeah, that’s just me and Betty White feeding a deer together!!! ❤️🦌🤩

You can’t break my heart when it’s already shattered.

This is me, nothing fancy.

I thrive on my own

Now I’ll just have more time to heal and help my momma through allllll the challenges she is going through.

Hey everyone. I know I have been a bit MIA on social media and in my social life, but grief is not fleeting. I have been navigating this challenging year day by day.
But don’t worry!! I am still here, training clients, teaching classes, and dog sitting on the side (a combination that seems to work very well together 😊🐶)
So please keep spreading the word, send people my way and reach out yourself, because helping others is healing 🙏❤️💪

I know y’all are used multiple daily posts when I am here IDEA World, but I am still deep in the thick of grief. It can be difficult to post when you constantly and randomly float outside of your body, so here it is all in one post this time. Despite the pain of loss, I came. I learned, I participated, I saw old friends and made new, I exercised, I asked questions and answered questions, I ran around the expo, I danced the night away. I had a time. I look forward to doing it all again next year. I sit here at the airport, waiting for my flight home that was delayed two hours. I am ready to apply what I learned and play with new equipment. I am ready for bed.






I miss my father.

Dear everyone,
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for a flood of condolences and birthday wishes at the same time. The last month of my life I have mostly spent floating outside of my body. I want you all to know how much I appreciate you reaching out and I am sorry I have not responded to everyone, but simply functioning can be hard sometimes. I read every text/post/comment, for my father’s passing and for my big 4-0, and every word I have read means so much to me. The rollercoaster of emotions I have been going through has been overwhelming, so I also appreciate everyone’s patience with me and understanding that I cannot respond to everyone. But I saw your message and it does matter to me. So thank you! 🙏
Now go tell someone you love how much you love them and how important they are to you ❤️

So much fun running the Hot Chocolate Run 10K with my running sister’s this weekend. Even more special this time because one of my amazing mentors Joanne Groves joined us while visit the states all the way from London!! It’s been great having you here Jo, I wish you could stay forever.
I always have to give a special shout out to Laurie Irwin, besties since the day we met at the dog park, you are one of the reasons I run. But never forget, you got me into this lady, you turned me into this, and now you are stuck with me 😂❤️🏃🏽‍♀️👯‍♀️🍫

I went and earned a self defense coach certification!! For that adolescent me that was bullied, for that teenage me that was assaulted, for every moment in my life where I was in fear for my safety. For my friends, my family, my clients and all the people I will meet in the future.
It’s a scary world out there, I’m here to make you feel more confident in it!
❤️💪😃

As the evening approaches on our last day in Australia I am feeling grateful for an amazing trip with a wonderful man and the kind hospitality from his wonderful family. I will miss Australia and New Zealand, but I will be back again. Tomorrow morning we get on a plane early in the AM. I am ready to head home and back to my routine, my business, my life. See y’all soon. ❤️🇳🇿🇦🇺🙏
