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 i actually train (and why this rhythm works)
If you’ve ever wondered how I structure my own training — this is it. Simple. Repeatable. Effective. No randomness. No chasing burnout. No “go hard every day” mentality.
Just consistent strength, steady movement, mobility, and a rhythm that supports my hormones, energy, and long-term health.
If you do nothing else, do this one thing…
Most people think the answer is more. More discipline. More workouts. More steps. More pressure. More goals crammed into an already overflowing life. But women don’t need more. Women need something that sticks. So if you do nothing else right now — do this one thing: Commit to consistent strength training. Not because it burns calories. Not because it’s trendy. Not because you “should.” But because it’s the one habit that anchors everything else.
the truth about women and muscle: why lifting won’t make you bulky
Let’s settle this once and for all: Lifting weights will NOT make you bulky. It will make you strong, lean, confident, and capable.
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.
