One Fit Widow

One Fit Widow Helping people rise from grief, reclaim strength, & rebuild life through movement, breath & purpose. You’re not broken. Welcome to One Fit Widow.

You’re becoming & you don’t have to do it alone. Fitness is just the beginning of healing, hope, and a life with meaning after loss. 💜 What if grief wasn’t something you had to survive in silence? What if healing looked like movement, breath, and becoming strong again—on your own terms? Where loss is honored. Where fitness becomes a tool for healing. And where endorphins are the new antidepressant

. After losing my husband in a small plane crash in 2009, I left my corporate career to follow what saved me—movement. Today, I’m a certified personal trainer, speaker, and coach helping people rebuild their bodies, nervous systems, and lives. Through retreats, programs like Empower Lift, and my private mentorship space—the Inner Circle—I help women move forward with strength, softness, and support. This isn’t just about getting fit. It’s about coming home to yourself. And you don’t have to do it alone. 💜

I have no 🍑.

Not like, "it just needs a little work."

I mean none.

Flat. The bane of my existence for 53 years.

It's genetic.

My dad needed a belt to keep his pants up. The man had absolutely nothing back there. Flat as a pancake.

So when my hips started killing me a couple of years ago and a sports chiropractor told me my glutes were weak, I knew it was time to make a change.

Squats never really built my glutes, no matter how hard I trained.

So I started hip thrusting like my life depended on it.

Because honestly, it kind of does.

Your glutes are the largest muscle group in your body. They help support your hips, knees, and lower back. Strong glutes improve balance, stability, power, and mobility. They help reduce injury risk and help preserve independence as we age.

So I got to work.

Hip thrusts.

Glute bridges.

Deadlifts.

Romanian deadlifts.

Split squats.

Abductor work.

Adductor work.

Heavy.

Consistent.

Again and again and again.

Today, my hip thrust PR is 300 pounds for reps.

Trust me, nobody is more shocked than the girl who spent most of her life convinced she simply wasn't built to have glutes.

And I'm not going to tell you I have a phat 🍑 because I don't.

But it's a whole lot better than it was two years ago.

It's stronger.

Rounder.

More functional.

And most importantly, my hips don't hurt anymore.

The lesson?

Most people quit before the results show up.

Building muscle takes time.

Changing your body takes time.

Aging well takes time.

But if you stay patient and keep showing up, the payoff is so much bigger than aesthetics.

It's bone density.

It's strength.

It's confidence.

It's being able to hike mountains, carry your own luggage, get up off the floor, and get off the toilet by yourself at 80.

I'm not done yet.

Check back at 55. I may be rocking those b***y leggings after all.

Patience plus hard work pays off.

Not just in how you look.

In how you live.

Years, YEARS it took me to see these words and truly understand the value and truth behind them.

Not everyone will love or even like you...that’s okay. ❤️🙏❤️

Good morning world,

What she actually needed… was a body that felt safe enough to respond again.

That changed everything.

Eat enough protein and carbs at breakfast.

Protein supports:
✔ blood sugar stability
✔ muscle maintenance
✔ hormone health
✔ satiety

Aim for 25–35g of protein and 40-60g of carbs in your first meal.

The more we travel, the more we realize that some places don't just impress you. They become part of you.

Croatia completely stole our hearts.

We fell hard for this place and we're already planning our return.

The energy is calm. The islands are breathtaking. The water looks almost unreal. The history is everywhere. And the people? Warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind.

It felt like the very best parts of Italy and Greece wrapped into one incredible experience, while still being entirely its own.

We can't wait to go back.

If you'd like to be on the early interest list for our next Croatia adventure, email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and we'll make sure you're the first to know.

Croatia, we'll see you again soon. ❤️
