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.

Because the people who finish strong aren’t the ones who do everything. They’re the ones who keep showing up for something.
TOP REASONS I DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL
I get asked this a lot: “Do you drink?” My answer is simple - NO. It’s been seven years and I don’t regret or miss a single thing. Not because I’m trying to be perfect. Not because I think one drink ruins everything. But because I’ve seen the impact alcohol has - on my body, my mind, my goals… and even on families. I’ve seen what it does, and that’s enough for me to know it doesn’t belong in the life I’m building.
the coffee shift: wake up with your body, not against it
There’s nothing wrong with loving your morning coffee. That warm, earthy aroma. That first sip that says let’s go. But here’s the truth, your body already built its own natural alarm clock. And when you time coffee right, you can ride that rhythm instead of fighting against it.
why undereating is hurting your performance (and how to fuel properly)
