Hey, Happy Pride Month! Visibility matters now more than ever. If you are here and you follow us, we hope that you feel welcome, included, and safe. We recognize the dignity and worth of every person and, as hard as it is to do online, we are committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and respectful to people who visit us in our little corner of the internet.

If you are new here and perhaps you have followed us or stumbled upon our page without knowing about who we are and this post makes you feel things, don’t leave. We hope you will pause and reflect instead of reacting or unfollowing. The way we can change hearts is through personal connection. Knowing an LGBTQIA+ person significantly reduces prejudice and increases empathy. We are not a political issue, we are people. Good people. Hardworking, loving, funny, flawed, real people. Just like you. You can find us personally Meredith Root and Alex Parker.

We hope you will stay and get to know us. Our mission has always been gentle and caring encouragement that makes the world and big endeavours feel a little less scary. And hopefully that’s what you take away from our page! We promise to keep doing that and ask that you give a little of that energy back to us, because it’s sort of scary to be different right now.

So happy pride, we are glad you’re here. It means a lot that you choose to support us with engagement, business, and by being generally rad human beings.

Water fasting videos are back so it felt like the right time to resurface this video.

The really important thing that needs to be said is this: there’s tremendous value in understanding your body. I think part of the reason the health/wellness/longevity industry is SO PROFITABLE is because people don’t understand their bodies and they’ve never spent time getting in touch with themselves that way. And when people don’t know how they feel but do know that they want to feel better, they make perfect customers for an industry that sells half truths and anecdotes.

When you understand your body, you know what makes it feel good and what doesn’t. Maybe cold plunging helps you be present and helps you slow down, and that’s really good! But for someone else it may be stressful and unenjoyable, not the right activity for them. But you can never know that if you’re just blindly doing someone else’s routine, you know?

And the fasting thing… I mean you do you but there is simply not enough evidence nor does it even make intuitive sense that prolonged periods of not eating would somehow benefit a creature (humans) who have one of the most, if not THE most, well adapted metabolisms on earth. You cannot trick these bodies into health by simply depriving them of food for a few days. And when you take a step back, you kind of see how ridiculous that idea is.

Yes water fasting is really hard, so of course westerners are into it. The western world suffers from an action bias and over reliance on difficulty as a proxy for effectiveness. What I think is that there is far more to gain from gentle interventions that become daily practices like yoga, meditation, and breath work. Those things can actually change the body over time.

Just my 2c.

We are signing off the web for a few days of back country biking and adventures with ! 👑

What will get up to? You’ll have to wait and see. But we promise it’s going to be good!

Also, today is the Venus / Jupiter convergence - luckiest day of the year! Big visions, breakthroughs, abundance in love and purpose. It’s a great day to set some intentions and channel that energy.

See y’all in a few days!

When you operate from a place of curiosity, you’ll take more shots. If you take more shots, you’ll also miss more shots (which is to say that you will fail) but in general it’s the people who fail the most that also succeed the most. Those two things go together. But if you’re always waiting for a guarantee that your shot, your effort, and the process will definitely pay off how you want it to - you’ll wait forever. Yes it’s accurate to say that you’ll never fail, but it’s also true that you’re very unlikely to succeed either.

What if we stopped asking the question, will this work? And started asking the question, why wouldn’t this work?

Just a thought.

Lean into the uncertainty to give yourself a chance.

Progress is slow. Don’t make it slower by quitting. The only thing that separates people who get there from people who don’t is patience. And probably some curiosity in making the process/program/approach work for them.

If things keep not working for you, consider the possibility that it’s not the things. Which is not something you need to feel bad about but it is something you can action, if you want to.

And FWIW we were listening to back in like… 2004 and it’s been delightful to watch her progress in the music industry. Patience pays off. Not that she needs our encouragement 😂

Calgary Marathon 2026 - 2:55:54 (a PR)

I am really proud of this one!

Knowing you can run a PR, a strong race, or a specific pace is one thing. Actually doing it is another.

You have to decide to do it. You have to decide to do it more than once. You have to decide to do it each km, and even each minute as you get close to the end.

To endure is to continue to push forward despite the mounting and overwhelming desire to stop. A marathon is that. Physically, I knew I had it in me, but mentally I had to be ready to tolerate the discomfort. You cannot get around that. You have to accept and manage the discomfort as a necessary part of completing the task - achieving your goal. And a good goal is one that is just within reach. One that is doable and that you believe is obtainable, but only if you extend yourself very close to your limit.

That is why, despite always doing my best to prepare, a marathon never feels easy for me. It feels doable, and it should if I have an appropriate goal, but I am only proud of my effort if I am forced to accept a great amount of discomfort to achieve it… and I do.

When I saw my dad at 34km, he asked how I was feeling and I said: “I will be able to finish it.” Not, “I am feeling good, or I am feeling bad”. It didn’t matter at that point. I knew my body could do it and it was just about making the decision at that point.

I love to train. You have to do accept discomfort a bit when you train and I like that challenge. but training is fun. It’s more manageable. Racing is hard. It is borderline unmanageable. It is not fun, it’s satisfying. And that is why I like it.
