What You Want Matters

What You Want Matters What YOU want matters. When you know that, you can fully exist. This page is about mental health, fitness, nutrition, life, and love! All things I love! WHY?

I’m a recovering self-doubter. I grew up believing that what I want didn’t matter. And, when you believe that, you're an easy target to be taken advantage of, and to fall into things (work, relationships, etc…) you don’t really like, and that aren’t good for you. Currently, I’m a film-maker, writer, R+F skincare consultant, personal trainer, and happily married. Prior to that, I was in Semiconduct

ors, Domain Names, Marketing Communications, and abusive relationships. That life was slowly killing my soul. And, quite nearly me. Once I finally escaped my predisposition for terrible relationships, and my high-tech career, I became a personal trainer. Soon after that I discovered Rodan + Fields (though it would still be a few years before that journey truly started). Now, my focus is on all the things that keep me mentally healthy. I'm so glad you asked. Because, having struggled with anxiety and depression most of my life. And now, being a recovering self-doubter… I’ve made it my mission to let everyone I come in contact with know that, what they want matters! You want healthier looking skin? That matters. You want more confidence? You want to have your own business? That matters
Whatever YOU want. IT MATTERS!!! Because when we believe that, we can fully exist. And when we fill ourselves up with what we want, we are better able to show up with kindness, and compassion, and patience, and LOVE for all the others in our lives. ♥️

My world is a little dimmer. Sweet Leo left us yesterday. He was like no cat I ever had.
My true soul cat.
He picked me, fourteen years ago, sticking his long paw out of his cage at the Agoura Animal Shelter to stop me from walking past.
He grabbed my heart that day. I loved that cat like no other.
I’ll miss his headbutts, his hugs, his sleeping on a pillow at the top of my bed touching me with his paw in the middle of the night.
Yeah he threw up a lot, but his constant love and companionship simply can’t be replaced.
Rest in peace sweet boy.

My client sent me “Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Challenge”. How bad could it be?

5 pull-ups. 10 push-ups. 15 squats. 20 minutes. As many rounds as possible. 😳

I made it 6!

Tag your workout buddy. Let’s see what you’ve got! 💪

I used to spend so much time focused on what my body looked like.

Now, I focus on what it allows me to do.

Somewhere inside every adult is a kid who just wants to play.

To climb the rock.
Jump in the lake.
Balance on their hands.

We spend so much of life asking,
“What should I do?”

Maybe a better question is…

“What do I want to do?”

Even if it looks a little ridiculous.

Especially if it looks a little ridiculous. 🤣
