You don't build strength with an idea in mind that you'll "need" it someday. You use it every single day, often without even thinking about it. You use it every time you get out of a chair, climb a flight of stairs, carry groceries into the house, lift a suitcase, spend an afternoon gardening, or walk through a parking lot. Those moments may seem ordinary, but they all depend on having enough strength to move through your day with confidence and ease. One of my clients re

There's one thing I've come to believe after years of coaching adults 60 and above. And maybe it will surprise you. I don't believe this is just about exercise. I think maybe it's about continuing to be the person who gets to keep saying... "Yes, I'd love to." "Yes, let's go." "Yes, I'll come." "Yes, I can help." Believe it or not—I don’t think most people really look forward to exercising. They look forward to walking through an airport without worrying about ho

I love walking. I especially love walking with my son’s dog, Seamus, when he comes to visit. Part of that is because I know there is no chance to talk myself out of it when there is a dog sitting with me very clearly ready for his walk. He needs it, and honestly sometimes I need the pull too — literally and figuratively. Although, to be fair to Seamus, he has gotten much better and no longer pulls that much! And I know I am also fortunate to live in an area with so many beaut

As we move into May, I want to take a pause in my usual messaging and bring some attention to a subject that has always been part of my life and in lots of way my work. May is Mental Health Month. I spend a lot of time talking about strength and movement and building a body that supports the life you want to live, and that will always remain most of what I do. This month, however, in honor of Mental Health Month, feels like the best time to speak more frankly about mental hea

Happy 2026. A new year doesn’t ask you to reinvent yourself. It asks you to choose direction. 2026 is the Year of the Horse — which I love because it’s about forward movement and momentum. Not rushing. Not forcing. Just moving ahead with intention. Numerology also marks 2026 as a 1 year — a year of beginnings. Not dramatic resets, but real ones. The kind that start with a single decision and grow through follow-through. And if you’re into Tarot, you might picture this moment

I’ve been making Christmas cards this week, and my workspace looks exactly how you’d expect — paper everywhere, glitter in places it shouldn’t be, half-finished cards stacked all over the table. Somewhere in the middle of that mess, I noticed something. Without planning it, I kept choosing the same sentiment: Peace on Earth. Different cards. Different designs. Same message. I didn’t set out with a theme — it just kept happening. Apparently my hands figured something out befor
