It’s my birthday month 🎂❤️

And every year, I like to celebrate my birthday by giving back to women in our community.

This year, I want to invite my EmpowerHER family to join me.

Throughout September, we’re supporting Crossroads for Women in Albuquerque, and there are two ways you can help.

🤝 GIVE YOUR TIME

On (this Saturday!) September 12 from 10 AM–2 PM, we’ll be at Crossroads helping organize and support the women there.

No special skills needed.

Just come with your time, your hands and a willingness to help.

🎁 DONATE NEW WOMEN’S UNDERGARMENTS

We’re also collecting NEW & UNUSED women’s undergarments throughout September.

Something as simple as a package of underwear may not seem like a big deal to you...

But when you’re rebuilding your life, access to basic necessities matters.

And this is something we can all do.

✨September 1–30
New & unused women’s undergarments (drop them by the gym or message me for a pick up)

✨Volunteer Day
September 12
10 AM–2 PM

I’ve always believed that wellness is about more than what we do for ourselves.

It’s about how we show up for other women too.

So this birthday month, instead of asking for anything for myself...
I’d love for us to give something to women who could use a little extra support.

If you want to volunteer with me on September 12, comment below or send me a DM.

And if you’d like to donate New undergarments, bring them by and we’ll make sure they get to Crossroads.

Let's show these women that their community sees them, cares about them, and hasn't forgotten them.

Come celebrate my birthday with me by helping another woman

✨Client Spotlight!

✨Meet Pattie

Pattie has been with us for a while. She actually took a break and came back because she couldn't get the help she needed elsewhere.

What started as a weight loss case, turned out to be a low cortisol case with insufficient hormone support. That certainly explained why weight loss had been so hard!

Pattie has done a remarkable job of being patient with her body.
Of following the steps to restore healthy cortisol production.
To bring balance back to her gut microbiome.

And because of that consistency and patience and grace she has given herself, the scale is down 41 pounds and has a lower bodyfat percentage than she ever had in her life.

But most of all
She's sleeping
She is nourishing her body
She feels confident
She's happy in her body
She isn't crashing at 2pm

We are seeing weight go up in the gym
And she was able to train and compete in a Spartan race Last week.

We also have some other awesome goals we are working towards now.

Point in case....
menopause, perimenopause does not define you
You don't have accept things, just because you are getting older

You can have a healthy, highly functioning body
That you are confident in.

You just have to learn how to provide what it needs and then be consistent with it.

Pattie, I am so proud of your consistency and how you show up for yourself. 👏👏👏 Thank you for your trust.
Here is looking to the next chapter!🎉

You’ve been told a lie

And it sounds so official that you may have stopped questioning it.

It’s just your age,
It's just perimenopause.

Your weight is creeping up
You’re exhausted
Your sleep is terrible
Your digestion has changed
Your mood is all over the place
Your body composition is changing even though you’re doing what you’ve always done

So you mention it to your doctor.

And you hear:
You’re getting older
Your hormones are changing
That’s normal for your age.

But notice something...
That explains almost nothing.

Yes, your physiology changes as you age,
Of course it does.

But that doesn't mean you have to accept feeling like s**t.
Your hormones change
Muscle becomes harder to maintain without intentional resistance training.
Your stress load may change
Sleep can become disrupted
Your nutrition, activity, recovery, gut health, medications and genetics all interact with each other.

Those are things we can investigate
Things we can support
Things we can work with

You can build muscle
Improve your nutrition
Support your sleep
Address gut health
Evaluate hormones and thyroid function.
Change your training
Reduce unnecessary stress

You don't have to fight aging,
You need to understand that your body may require a different strategy now than it did at 25.

And here's why this matters...
It’s just your age can become a very dangerous sentence.

Because eventually you stop asking questions,
You accept exhaustion
You accept weight gain
You accept poor sleep
You accept feeling like you don't recognize your body anymore.

And you call it acceptance,
But what if it's resignation?

There is a HUGE difference between accepting that your physiology has changed...
and accepting that you have no options.

Your age may be part of the picture,
But it is not the entire picture.

And getting older is not a treatment plan.

That's why inside EmpowerHER, we look at the whole woman.

Your nutrition
Your metabolism
Your hormones
Your thyroid
Your gut
Your stress
Your sleep
Your training
Your history

And when appropriate, testing to help us understand what deserves attention.

The goal isn't to turn back the clock,
It's to help you feel as good as you possibly can in the body you have today.

That's not fighting aging,
That's supporting it.

And please remember:
Your body changing is biology.

Believing you have no options is a belief.

Don't let someone hand you the second when you deserve the opportunity to investigate the first.

We had our very first She Rises Collective member meeting!

And honestly… this is just the beginning.

We finally got to put faces to the names we’ve been seeing in our member chat and, more importantly, get to know the incredible women behind these businesses.

We made vision boards, celebrated wins, talked about some of the hard parts of running a business, and shared the things that don’t always make it onto social media.

But perhaps the most important thing we walked away with was connection.

The reminder that we are not doing this alone.

There are women sitting at the same table who understand the late nights, the big decisions, the uncertainty, the victories, and everything in between.

We also made plans for our next outreach day at Crossroads for Women on September 12th.

And this month, we’re collecting NEW women’s undergarments for the women at the shelter.

If you’d like to donate, let us know and we’ll be happy to schedule a drop-off. You can also drop donations at:

📍 Salt & Light Christian Counseling
📍 Elite Physique Gym

This is what we envisioned when we created She Rises Collective.

A network of strong, powerful women who support one another, build one another up, give back to their community, and make a real difference in the lives of women around them.

This is the launch of something special.

And we’re just getting started.

I want to tell you about a woman I’ve seen over and over again in this work,
Not one specific client.
A composite of so many women I’ve talked to over the years.

Women who have spent 20... 30... sometimes more years trying to lose weight and feel comfortable in their bodies.

Think about that.

Decades of stepping on the scale and letting that number decide whether it was going to be a good day.

Decades of diets
Low fat
Low carb
Calories
Points
Meal replacements
Clean eating

Decades of standing in front of a closet thinking nothing looks good on me.

Looking at pictures and immediately noticing the stomach, the arms, the weight gain.

Decades of saying I shouldn't eat that,
And promising Monday will be different.
And every time it didn't work...
She blamed herself.

So she tried harder.
Eat less
Exercise more
Cut another food
Add another workout
Start again
Lose some weight
Gain it back
Start again

But here's what I want you to know...
She wasn't weak
She wasn't lazy
She wasn't lacking discipline
She was actually incredibly disciplined.

She was just using a system that taught her the harder she restricted and punished herself, the better her results would be.

And when that stopped working?
She assumed something was wrong with her.

I hear this all the time:
I don't trust my body anymore
Nothing works for me
Maybe this is just what happens when you get older.

And every time I hear it, I want to do what I wish someone had done for these women sooner.
Take the blame off her.

Then ask better questions.
What's happening with her hormones?
Her gut?
Her thyroid?
Her stress?
Her sleep?
Her metabolism?
Her nutrition?
Her history?
Because your body isn't a calculator.

And you aren't a problem that needs to be punished into submission.
You are not your past attempts
You are not the weight you've gained
You are not the number on the scale
You are not broken

You were using an approach that wasn't designed around YOUR body, your physiology, or your life.

And then you were taught to blame yourself when it didn't work.

You can put that down.
You really can.

And please don't spend another decade fighting your body.

The woman who feels strong, energized, confident and at home in her body isn't necessarily years away.

It can start with understanding what's actually happening now.

How do you actually feel in your body right now?

Not how you wish you felt
Not how you think you should feel
How you actually feel.

One word.

Maybe it’s...

Exhausted
Frustrated
Stuck
Inflamed
Uncomfortable
Invisible
Overwhelmed
Discouraged
Anxious
Defeated

Maybe it’s:

Done.

Done with dieting
Done with starting over
Done with being told everything is normal when you know you don’t feel normal
Done with working harder and watching your body move in the wrong direction

Or maybe underneath all of that...

Hopeful..
Maybe you still believe you can feel like yourself again
Maybe you know your body isn't broken
Maybe you're just tired of trying to figure it out alone

Whatever the word is...
I want to hear it

No explanation needed
No backstory
No justification

Just one word,
Drop it in the comments or send me a DM

Because sometimes that one word tells me more about where you are right now than a whole paragraph ever could

So...
How do you feel in your body right now?

Drop your one word below in the comments.

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

Matleena sent me an update on Karen this week and I had to share it.

Because Karen is the kind of woman I see all the time,
She was doing EVERYTHING

Working out almost every day
Pushing hard with cardio
Eating as little as she thought she could
Trying to be "good" all week

And despite all that effort...
She was gaining weight.

Exhausted
Sleeping poorly
Frustrated
And convinced the answer was MORE.

More cardio
Less food
More discipline
More restriction

But instead of giving her another diet, we asked a different question:
Why isn't her body responding?

We started with the foundation,

Nutrition
Training
Recovery
Stress
Sleep
Symptoms
And functional testing

Because sometimes a woman doesn't need more pressure,
She needs support.

Karen was nervous about eating more
She wasn't sure she could trust doing less cardio.

And honestly...
I understood.

When you've spent years being told that weight loss means eating less and exercising more, doing the opposite can feel terrifying.

But she trusted the process :-)

We focused on adequate nutrition, protein, strength training, recovery, sleep and addressing the areas that needed attention.

And slowly...
Things started changing.

Her energy improved
Her sleep improved
Her workouts felt better
She stopped obsessing over food.

And eventually, her body started responding differently too.

But my favorite transformation?
Karen stopped being afraid of her own body.

She stopped assuming every fluctuation meant she was failing,
She started learning what her body actually needed

And THAT is what I want for every woman I coach.

Not another diet
Not another cycle of restriction and punishment
Not another Monday morning starting over.

I want women to understand their bodies
To know what they need
To build strength
To nourish themselves
To honor the need for recovery

And to finally learn how to work with their bodies instead of constantly fighting them.

Karen didn't find a magic fat-loss hack,
She stopped punishing her body and started supporting it.

That's the difference.

If you're working harder than ever and getting worse results...
Maybe the answer isn't to work harder.

Maybe it's time to ask:
Why isn't my body responding

That's where we start inside EmpowerHER.

Your scale doesn't know what's happening inside your body.

It gives you one number,
That's it.

But that number includes:

Muscle
Fat
Water
Glycogen
Food in your digestive tract
Sodium
Inflammation
Hormonal fluctuations
Changes from stress and sleep

And somehow we've given that one number the power to decide whether we have a good day or a bad one.

You can eat well all week.
Hit your protein
Strength train
Sleep
Drink your water
Get your steps in

And the scale goes UP.

Does that automatically mean you gained body fat?
No.

You could be retaining water, repairing muscle, dealing with hormonal fluctuations, or simply carrying more food volume.

The scale can't tell you which.
And the opposite is true.

You can have a terrible week...
Eat very little
Skip meals
Do extra cardio
Sleep poorly
And the scale goes DOWN.

You think you won,
But did you actually improve your body?

Or did you simply lose water, glycogen and food volume?

This is why I don't want women chasing a smaller number,
I want you chasing a healthier, stronger body.

Pay attention to:
How your clothes fit
Your measurements
Your strength
Your energy
Your sleep
Your digestion
Your recovery
Your progress photos

Because sometimes the scale barely moves while your body is changing dramatically.

I've seen clients become stronger, sleep better, have more energy, improve their digestion and change their body composition while the scale moves very slowly.

If they had trusted the scale alone...
They might have quit while they were actually making progress.

So please...
Stop letting one number determine your worth or your progress.

The scale is a data point,
It is not the verdict

And if that number can completely ruin your day, it may be time to stop giving an inanimate object that much power.

Your body is giving you a LOT more information than the scale ever could.

Most weight-loss programs start in the same place

Eat less
Move more
Track everything
Try to be "good"

And if the scale doesn't move?
Eat less
Add more cardio
Push harder

But what happens when you've already been doing that?
You're exhausted
You're hungry
You're frustrated
And somehow... you're still not getting the results you want

Then you blame yourself,
Maybe I'm not disciplined enough
Maybe I'm not trying hard enough
Maybe this is just what happens as I get older

But what if you don't need more pressure?

What if your body needs a different starting point?

That's why EmpowerHER has 3 phases:

PHASE 1 = RESTORE
We don't start by aggressively pursuing fat loss,
We restore the foundation first.
Nutrition
Protein
Gut health
Sleep
Stress
Training and recovery
Hormones
Thyroid function
And functional testing when appropriate
If your metabolism is dysfunctional, your body needs support before we ask it to perform.

We nourish it
We support recovery
We address digestive and gut issues
We identify nutrient deficiencies and other factors that may be interfering with healthy function

We restore.

PHASE 2 = RESPOND
Once your foundation is functioning better, we can ask your body to change.

We strategically adjust nutrition
Progress your strength training
Support hormones when appropriate
Address the issues identified through your assessment.

And yes...
This is where fat loss becomes the goal
But we're not starving you into it
We're creating the conditions for your body to respond.

PHASE 3 = INTEGRATE

This is the part most programs skip.
You lost the weight
Now what?
We teach you how to maintain what you've built
How much food works for YOUR body
How to train without destroying yourself
How to recognize when something is off
How to live your life without constantly feeling like you're on a diet

Because the goal isn't temporary weight loss,
It's building a body you understand and a strategy you can actually live with.

You don't need another program telling you to try harder
You need to understand why your body isn't responding and address what is actually getting in the way.

That's what we do inside EmpowerHER.

❤️ If you're tired of trying harder and getting nowhere, comment READY or send me a DM.
