A bit of a vulnerable share today…
Many of you know that my love of skincare and self-care is deeply rooted in the weekends and summers I spent with my mom. She taught me that caring for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Through spa days, movement, and simply making time for yourself, she showed me what that looked like.
For me, exercise has always been one of the most powerful forms of self-care.
Before moving back home 16 years ago, getting married, and raising three kids, I trained for 5Ks and half marathons and worked with a personal trainer. Running became one of the ways I learned to quiet the noise, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with myself.
As fellow business owners know, it can be hard to step away from the endless list of things that need your attention. Add motherhood, pets, responsibilities, and life in general, and sometimes we forget that we matter too.
Over the years, I’ve explored countless wellness offerings, hosted incredible practitioners, participated in resets and workshops, and learned so much about nutrition, movement, and health. But one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is this:
I don’t always need to do more, learn more, or be more.
I am enough as I am.
At the same time, some of the things that have helped me the most are the things I feel called to share with others.
So here’s the vulnerable part…
While I’m still studying for my Personal Training certification, I recently became a certified Barre Fitness Instructor—one of my favorite forms of movement when I’m not running.
And soon, I’ll be teaching classes.
To be completely honest, teaching fitness classes is new territory for me. We all know what it feels like to be a beginner, and this is one of those moments where I’m choosing courage over comfort and simply starting.
I’m looking for a small group of supportive people who’d like to join me as I begin this journey.
Current plan:
✨ Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning classes
✨ Donation-based (until PT certification is finalized)
✨ A different local organization will receive the proceeds each month
Sign-up information and first class dates coming soon.
Thank you for allowing me the space to grow, learn, and share what I love with this community. ❤️
