Now, I'm on a mission to make fitness less scary than a horror movie for those who think the gym is a no-go zone. Because, let's face it, we all secretly fear that gym equipment is plotting against us.

It's not just about looking good; it's about feeling good, both physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I'm all about a holistic approach to fitness – the kind that involves proper nutrition, stress management, restful sleep, spiritual growth, and limiting toxic exposure. It's not just about looking good; it's about feeling good, both physically, mentally, and spiritually.

And don't get me started on brain health! Ignoring it is like trying to eat soup with a fork – it just doesn't work. We can lift all the weights, but if we're inhaling toxic chemicals, we might as well be bench pressing Twinkies.

I wish my mom could've joined this fitness revolution because it was designed for people just like her. This is a community for couch potatoes and gym enthusiasts alike – a place to find inspiration, celebrate victories, and maybe share a laugh or two. 

The year my mom passed away I trained for an Ironman triathlon to "clear my head". That race was one of the biggest challenges of my life. Not because of the race itself, but because of the obstacles I experienced during the event — mechanical issues on the 116 mile bike (because Chattanooga has an extra 4 miles) and physical issues in my sciatic nerve which started at mile 6 during the 26.2 mile run. 

Picture me during that crazy race – water sloshing, bike gears acting up, and my sciatic nerve doing the cha-cha. But let me tell you, I had one clear mission: NOTHING, not even a rebellious gear shifter, was going to stop me from crossing that finish line. It was like a superhero origin story, but with more sweat and no capes.

I took that chaotic symphony of challenges as a life lesson. Turns out, conquering obstacles set by the mind is like discovering your true calling – it makes you feel alive! That race marked a turning point, a moment when I realized I'm more resilient than yoga pants in a HIIT workout.

Now, I strut through life with the swagger of someone who's tackled a friggin' Ironman, not to mention a couple of others. I've got more confidence in myself than a cat in front of a laser pointer. And guess what? I'm on a mission to sprinkle that confidence dust on everyone who crosses my path.

I want them to believe they're not just strong; they're as powerful as a motivational speech from Shia LeBeouf. You're not just unstoppable; you're more relentless than a toddler asking "why" for the hundredth time. It's time to embrace your inner fitness superhero – cape optional, but highly encouraged. So, buckle up, buttercup, because you're about to discover a strength within you that even your morning coffee can't match.
