🙏🏻 to the always inspiring @satsiri for today's inspo

This is a special excerpt from my speech at this year's Masterclass weekend with The Nutrition School and @nutritiouslifeofficial
•
4 years ago I walked from my role as a full time personal trainer. After 17 years of working with people all day every day I was burned out and needed a reinvention.
•
I turned my personal training business into a fully virtual coaching practice that now serves women around the world. I'm able to help more women in a way that makes my soul happy and is helping my clients in a more productive way.
•
Life came full circle- as it often does- and I found myself deeply missing my in-person in-gym time and have since returned to seeing a few clients back in my "lab" and playground, the gym.
•
If you find yourself at a transition, I hope this little excerpt helps. Remember, the adage is "Leap, and the net will appear" and NOT "Leap WHEN the net appears"
•
You've GOT to have faith in yourself and trust that once you leap, the universe will be inspired by your bravery, will rise up to cheer for you, and will help conspire the perfect net you could ever imagine.
•
Leap, dear friend.

My life isn't perfect and that's A-ok with me. I sure am grateful that I've got a body that works, a brain that thinks, and a heart that feels. 🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️

That's me...amidst 17 dudes at the gym today 😝
•
Don't get me wrong...I really enjoy being around men...like, a lot 🙋🏼
•
AND, I'd sure love to see more ladies up in here with me. I'm on a mission to improve the ratio of women to men strength training everywhere. Today's ratio is not so bueno at 1:17
•
What's the ratio like at your gym? What do you need from me to help you feel even more confident in the gym, playing alongside the boys? Let's do this.

Knee or hip issues? Lower back aches and pains? Stretch your Quads! 💯
•
Because of a forward rotation in your pelvis, your Quadriceps muscles tend to get shortened. This can cause restriction in movement at your hip and knee joints. Weak Glutes can make the issue even worse, and in my experience, most women have super weak Glutes.
•
In the past two weeks I've helped 3 clients ease knee pain with these 4 stretches.
•
It's important to EASE into these stretches, and very gently move into a position that feels like a definite stretch, but NOT intense. My rule is, if the stretch sensation intensifies during the time of stretching, you've moved into too deep of a stretch. Ease off and find a position that feels niiiiiiiice 🤗
•
Try one or all of these Quad stretches. Gently relax into each and hang out for 1-2 minutes.

Such a big girl on her first day of school!
•
I believe strongly in continued learning and am beyond excited to be starting the next level in my education. This weekend I begin a 10 month certification course in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica.
•
After 23 years in the fitness industry, I've learned sooooo much about biology, physiology and chemistry. Now it's time to tackle the human spirit. And the first one up is my own.
•
Deeply thankful for the relentless power-gang of USM grads for descending upon me and showing me what life could be like inside their posse. Thank you for showing me the way @jillesplin @arrianealexander @stylistdeniseoc

Commence operation:
"Body Upgrade" ...version 492
•
Body transformation doesn't occur in 30, 60, or 90 days. Yes, a lot can be accomplished in a short period of time, but sometimes real transformation takes time.
•
For me it took, oh about...23 years. Along the way there were short term programs and efforts that showed results, but the most impressive difference is how RADICALLY different I am all these years later, physically, biologically, spiritually and mentally.
•
So today I feel like I am beginning yet another "body upgrade" process that is probably number 492.
•
I created this body through SO MANY experiments and efforts, through many failures and successes. At each step along the way, I adopted the efforts that worked, and I let go of the stuff that didn't.
•
Your own journey may be similar. Just keep plugging along, experimenting, and accumulating all the actions and behaviors that work. Never stop learning and trying.
•
And don't stop stumbling. You learn so much from the things that don't work. Get good at getting back up. This is YOUR journey. I hope you'll make the most of it.
•
From my heart to yours ❤️

Gahhhhh so happy to be feeling a bit stronger. We are two weeks in to The Comeback and I'm already feeling sooooooo much better.
•
Love the combination of these two moves.
☝🏻Goblet Squat
✌🏻Reverse Lunges
•
Some tips:
Keep your Chest lifted on Goblet and hold the dumbbell (or kettlebell) so that it stays in contact with your Chest.
•
Before you step backward on Reverse Lunges, put your mental focus into the front leg. Power the entire move from the front leg. If foot or toes issues make this move hard for you, try doing one side at a time (rather than alternating which leg that you are stepping back on).
🔥💥💫🔥💥💫
Stay strong, friend! ❤️

There are days when I feel like a complete mess. I truly don't understand the "why" of anything. I feel lost, and sometimes, terribly vulnerable. All I want to do is escape.
•
Most of the time I can get myself to my sanctuary. And somehow, through the workout, my feelings shift. I begin to feel empowered. And for a moment I truly believe we will ALL be ok.
•
That moment may not be long. But it's powerful, and certain.
•
And that's all I need to re-enter the world again renewed. That one moment changes the course of my day every single time.
•
Stay strong, friend.
