Fitness is not about the perfect body.

It's about being healthy and feeling amazing. It's about having the inner strength and self motivation to live life's greatest adventure. It's about feeling relentlessly beautiful.

Couples who #soulcycle together... (fill in the blank) #soulgifted ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I personally think that the phrase or notion that “couples who do (name of activity) together, stay together” can lead to dangerous belief systems and negative patterns or thinking. It’s as if we placed this measurement of relationship success based on the idea that you have shared interests and will have those same shared interests for as long as the relationship exists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the only thing constant in the relationship is that both people are constantly growing, learning, and changing in small ways or big ways. As we go through life we pick up new interests and new experiences that shape and mold us into slightly different people than we were when we first got into that relationship. Hell, we even are different versions of ourselves from who we woke up as. Our emotions change constantly throughout the day and sometimes we go to bed as better versions of ourselves or sometimes worse. It’s just how life works. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So how do two people navigate through changes like this? One way is to remain open to the idea that the other person will change. When that person changes it’s our individual choice to embrace that change with them or to not. If you find yourself not “OK” with that change, learn how to voice it out in a way that sparks curiosity not judgement or criticism. It’s important that you try your best not to impose your own personal criticism to a situation or prejudice in order to understand the other person’s interest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @longanisaburps didn’t start working out with me when I first integrated fitness into my life almost 6 years ago. He had 0 interest in it and at first it caused us discomfort, disagreements, and a bit of disconnection. It’s taken us some time to understand that over the course of 17 years we don’t need to have the same shared interests to have a successful relationship. What we needed to have was a deep profound respect for each other’s differences. Once we had that, we were able to see our relationship as a dynamic one that is always evolving. It’s not about evolving in the right or wrong direction it’s about evolving in a direction. #loveinprogress

Have you ever been unhappy in your relationship? If your answer is yes, did you let your partner know or did you choose to keep it to yourself while waiting patiently for things to change? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There were so many moments earlier on in our relationship where we both failed to voice out our unhappiness. We were both so afraid of the pain or hurt we would cause the other person that we sacrificed ourselves for the other. It’s taken us so many trials and errors in order to build the communication and emotional language we needed in order to create the healthiest version of our relationship yet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having hard and difficult conversations are never easy. It takes stepping into vulnerability, trusting that love will carry you forward, and being open to receiving hard feedback. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When @longanisaburps and I have something hard to share with one another we always start with, “Babe, I love you and I have something difficult to say and it might hurt, but know it’s coming from a place of love.” By starting with this phrase it says to the other person: “I see you. I LOVE YOU. This may hurt, but it’s not my intention.” This helps to create a safe space for truths to be seen and heard, even the most difficult ones. Last September, he asked me if I was still in love with him. My answer at the time was I am in and out of love with you and at this moment I am not. 💔 Talk about some hard truths. Over the past 7 months we both have worked incredibly hard on learning how to show up for one another in our relationship. It took us destroying our old marriage and starting a new one with new values, a whole different definition of love, and recommitting ourselves to working on being better. We recognized that in order to have a better relationship we needed to be better humans. Being better doesn’t mean we expect to get things right every time. Being better for us means we recognize our mistakes, own it, and take responsibility for making the changes to better our approaches for the next time we make a mistake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Relationships are complicated and messy. Love hurts, but it also feels so damn good. #loveinprogress #womaninprogress #relationshipadvice
Self love is a practice. Some days you’re on fire and other days you may need to check yourself and your thoughts to quickly readjust. Moments where you’re feeling low about yourself, just take a moment to reflect on your life as a whole. YOU ARE SO BLESSED. ✨Focus on all the things that nourish your health off your plate.✨ Focus on looking at your overall health as a whole instead of just seeing your health as a number on the scale, a dress size, or the number of inches on your waist. The people around you WON’T love you more because you’re leaner. ⚡️The people around you WILL love you deeply when you’re fully in love with your life and taking them along for the journey.⚡️ #womaninprogress
We’re kicking off the weekend with a 60 Minute massage at @iospawellness followed by a yummy little lunch at one of my favorite restaurants in SF @pizzeriadelfina. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve had such a busy week plus on top of that we both we’re waiting to hear back from my doctors office about the biopsies from my colposcopy. If you didn’t catch the update on #IGstories, ALL IS GOOD. The biopsy came back with signs of mild low risk changes in my cervix most likely due to hormonal changes in the body #gettingold. I mentioned that I has noticed my periods evolving and changing in the past few months and she did mention that since I'm 35 I could be facing pre menopausal changes. Both my mom and sister had menopause pretty early so it’s likely I will too. They also said that the HPV will go away on its own without treatment and all I’ll need is a Pap smear in a year as a follow up. One question I did ask the nurse who called me was “Could the changes in my cervix be due to increased sexual activity?” 🤷🏽‍♀️ She replied a little shocked herself that she didn’t have the answer to that question, but I was so glad she wasn’t squeamish about my question either. 🙏 The way I see it is this, the more open we can be as women taking about our bodies and sexual wellness the more we can reduce the shame around these topics. And find ourselves deeper in understanding who we are which can lead to radical self acceptance. #womaninprogress #iospa #sf #wellnessblogger #wellness
