There are three important questions that you must ask yourself in order to become successful in anything that you do. Who are you? What do you want? Where do you want to go? Just a few months ago, I found myself in a state of mind that left me lost, overwhelmed, and utterly confused as […]
Beaten Into Submission: External Vs Internal Negativity, and How to Break Through it All
How’s that for a mouthful of a title? What a week last week was in the life of the avid strength athlete! Yours truly travelled across the states to spend time at the Women’s Fitness Summit, and had some time to talk shop on the Motivation and Muscle Podcast with Eric Fiorillo. While I would […]
Resilience
I just got back from the Women’s Fitness Summit 2016 (literally just waking up as I type this), and every step of the way, I have been taught what it means to be resilient. Originally, I wanted this post to be a post that recapped everything I learned, the experiences that I had with everyone […]
Your Greatest Priority
Lately, I have been thinking about obstacles, or perhaps I should say re-thinking them. I am not sure if this has something to do with the fact that I signed up for both Battlefrog Pittsburgh and the wild Spartan Sprint this year, or because I recently received a memo from a friend about her own […]

Recap of American Ninja Warrior: The Awesome, The Off-Putting, and The Course That Lies Ahead
I found myself staring at the nations toughest obstacle course. The Philadelphia round of American Ninja Warrior testing was about to begin.

Motivation and Muscle, and Thinking Through Fear
I’ve been listening to a podcast lately called “Motivation and Muscle”. My coach, the Super Human David Whitley, was recently featured on the show and talked shop on the nature of fear, and what fear does to the mind, body, and spirit. Fear has paralyzed me in a number areas of my life before, but […]
