Train Bold. Live Wild.
notes
Strength, stories, and perspective for real life —
on the trail, in training, and everywhere in between.
Strength is a Journey.
one grounded step at a time.
Strength doesn’t disappear overnight — sometimes it just feels harder to access. Life gets fuller, priorities shift, and what once worked no longer fits the season you’re in.
This space is about meeting yourself honestly where you are. Building strength that supports your real life — not just your workouts. Strength you can return to on busy weeks, quiet mornings, long trails, and everything in between.
We talk movement, mindset, recovery, and the rhythms that help strength last. Not extremes. Not perfection. Just steady progress, built with intention, over time.
Consider this your trail notes for the journey.
An open invitation to slow down, reflect, and keep moving forward — one grounded step at a time.

HOW fasting affects strength training (and why it might be holding you back)
There’s a lot of hype around fasting — especially in the wellness world. But here’s the truth that rarely gets said out loud: Fasting and strength training do NOT mix well — especially for women. If your goal is to get stronger, build lean muscle, lift heavier, have more energy, or lose fat in a healthy, sustainable way, training fasted works against every one of those goals. Strength training is a stressor. Fasting is a stressor. Stacking the two? Your body feels the impact.
