I am proud of myself. Those who don’t know me might think I’m bragging. I’m not. I’m not good at a lot of things. Like cooking. And cleaning. Or laundry. Or keeping plants alive. Or math. Or history. Or geography. Or politics...and I have tons of character defects and things I wish I was better at.
But tonight I’m not focused on all my flaws but rather the fact that I decided to flourish not flounder (as have so MANY of YOU!!!).
Before COVID-19 I’d been teaching virtually for years. Before our Stay Home order I had a home studio in the works. Before the virus, I had created my own trademarked Warrior Rhythm exercise format.
And while I had imagined I would be delivering my new baby, WARRIOR Rhythm, differently right now I couldn’t have been more ready for this opportunity- an opportunity that expands in my heart and mind more each day.
Big shout out to my DAC fam for showing up today, bringing tangible online energy ⚡️and above all LOVING one another. You each empower me with courage and strength. Forever grateful.
I will be making some bigger announcements soon. In the meantime, if you’re interested in a complimentary live class with me send your email.

I dropped out of the University of Illinois to go into an eating disorders unit at Highland Park hospital 🏥 where my 92 pound self battled Ed. Oh “Ed?” ...Ed was my eating disorder. I was so underweight that my concave tummy, bony back, and face were covered in lanugo. Lanugo is the fine hair that premature babies are born with to help keep them warm. I was basically a hairy skeleton with lifeless eyes.
After 5 months of treatment I had gained enough weight to menstruate again and became pregnant 🤰🏻 with my 1st son. I didn’t know how to hold babies and was terrified of their soft spots and overall fragility. I didn’t even know how to take care of myself. I was petrified. But this was part of Gods plan for my life and -but for my son - my life would have continued down a dark path. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I’m proudly 50 pounds heavier and have a pretty healthy body image, meaning I work at LOVING my body and saying nice things or nothing at all about it.
I tell you the story about kicking Ed’s ass because I know there are many out there struggling right NOW because being home (COVID-19) and out of routine can be a big trigger.
My 6 tips:
❕Sleep sleep sleep.
❕10 minutes of personal development per day (podcast or book).
❕Plan your virtual workout the day before and tell your friends.
❕Stay SOCIAL online.
❕Start every meal with water. Cute water bottles help.
❕Don’t worry (worry makes everything worse) about your weight. Rather eat to FEEL GOOD, not emotionally but to feel good physically.
