You see a textbook laying on an office table.
I see everything that led to this moment -
years of work, but also, play.
Growing up playing sports, it didn't take me long to learn healthy food made me feel & perform well. I started to realize around 7th/8th grade that colorful, whole foods were more nutritious and, also brought me so much joy and beauty to consume!!!!
Naturally, I went on to study health, fitness, nutrition, etc. in College - following my curiosity about how this whole thing worked.
Before walking into my office and seeing this textbook scene, I was cutting some root veggies we had picked up that day. Purple, orange, yellow carrots - all the colors, a variety of nutrition! π And it got me curious, what are the actual nutrients in each? just so I could know.
There I was, opening up my Essentials of Strength and Conditioning textbook - scouring, reading - just like the first time.
I had to put a pin in that while I had a round of clientele come through for an eve of 1x1 training sessions. Getting charged up, doing what I love with them, helping them grow stronger in real-time. Hearing them say they felt so much better after, and, as such, me feeling so good after.
Once complete, I opened my office door to this scene.
Sun radiantly shining on the book so perfectly. Feeling so full, rewarded & in awe of what I get to do daily. These sort of moments, captured in heart, feel so holy. Following what I love, getting to study it, help others with it - being fed in numerous ways.
From tball to high-level sport, to finding Unreal over a decade ago, to getting my certs (nearly 7 & 10 years ago!) & soaking up my books, to growing our practices & this facility, expanding into this office & space - surrounded by what I created & love; immersed, nourished, engaged with my passions, feeling so incredibly lucky & blessed.
And honestly, so much more. I could go on & on. All that to say, listen to those quiet whispers of what pulls at your heart and curiosities.
Follow and make space for those passions, for they will lead you to your power, to your purpose, and your calling.
