Are You Running in Circles or Finding Your Flow?
04/08/25 • 10 min
Have you ever experienced that magical feeling when everything just clicks? When energy, focus, and joy align perfectly, creating a sense of effortless flow? That's exactly where I am right now, and it feels incredible.
What makes this particularly meaningful is that not long ago, I had resigned myself to a "new normal" of fatigue, brain fog, and discomfort that I attributed to age and hormonal changes. I thought these limitations were simply my fate. The remarkable turnaround I've experienced proves otherwise, and I'm bursting with excitement to share this transformation with you.
My renewed energy is spilling over into every area of my life—from teaching more challenging fitness classes (my poor 6am students can attest to this!) to making significant progress on upcoming retreats, courses, and challenges. Speaking of retreats, I'm thrilled to announce that registration will open soon for experiences that will be more content-rich and transformative than ever before. These fill quickly, so keep an eye on my newsletter for details!
I'm also inviting you to join our April push-up challenge: 11 push-ups daily for 30 days. Inspired by research suggesting women should be able to complete this many proper push-ups, this challenge embraces the "start where you are" philosophy. Whether you're modifying against a counter or alternating between knees and toes, what matters is beginning the process. You'll be amazed at your progress after 30 consistent days.
As we approach my 150th episode milestone next week (with special giveaways planned!), I'm filled with gratitude for this community. If you're struggling with energy, discomfort, or any wellness challenges, please reach out at 913-392-2877. The transformation I've experienced might be possible for you too. Let's connect, grow, and find our flow—together.
Thanks so much for listening!

Finding the Root Cause: Why These Chiropractors Are Changing Patient Care
Ever wonder what makes some healthcare providers stand out from the rest? Reid Williams and Michael Allison from Fit Muscle & Joint reveal the philosophy that's transforming patient care in the rehabilitation world. These passionate young chiropractors share what drew them to the profession—personal experiences with injuries and rehabilitation that showed them the profound impact of hands-on care and active treatment approaches.
What strikes you immediately is their commitment to spending quality time with patients. While many practices rush through appointments, Reid and Michael detail how their hour-long initial consultations and 30-minute follow-ups allow them to truly understand each person's unique situation. "We're never going to force you to do something you're not comfortable with," Reid explains, highlighting their patient-centered approach that builds trust through education and transparency.
The conversation explores how modern chiropractic care extends far beyond traditional adjustments. Both practitioners emphasize finding the root cause of pain rather than just treating symptoms. They discuss the collaborative environment at their multidisciplinary practice, where chiropractors work alongside physical therapists and occupational therapists to provide comprehensive care. This team approach means patients receive consistent treatment regardless of which provider they see—a refreshing alternative to siloed healthcare.
Perhaps most compelling is their ultimate goal: patient independence. Rather than creating dependence on ongoing care, they aim to equip people with the knowledge and tools to maintain their own health. They share practical advice everyone can use—from essential stretches that counteract our sedentary lifestyles to the importance of aerobic exercise for tissue healing. Whether you're dealing with pain, curious about chiropractic care, or simply interested in taking better care of your body, this conversation offers valuable insights from practitioners who genuinely want to help people feel better and stay well.

Mountain Tops & Push-Ups: How I'm Challenging Myself (And You!)
Dreaming of mountaintops, fitness adventures, and meaningful connections? You're in the right place! Today I'm sharing all the retreat details you've been asking about in my newsletter, and I couldn't be more excited about what's coming.
Fresh from attending a funeral that reminded me just how precious our time is, I'm following my heart and planning experiences that balance fitness, wellness, and joy. First up is our intimate "Reset and Renew" retreat right here in Kansas City. Limited to just six participants, this three-day experience combines yoga, meditation, art therapy, and group coaching designed for those ready to make meaningful transformations. It's exactly what I'd want from a wellness reset, and I can't wait to share it with you.
True to Spandex and Wine form, we're also planning a retreat that balances challenging workouts by day with well-deserved wine and dining experiences by night. Then in September, we'll head to Colorado Springs for progressive hiking adventures, outdoor yoga, and hot tub soaks under mountain skies. And for the dreamers among us (myself included), April 2026 will take us to Peru to hike Machu Picchu—fulfilling a fascination I've had since fifth grade! I've partnered with fitness expert Jake Griggs to ensure we're all prepared for this bucket-list adventure.
Not ready to commit to a retreat? Join our 30-day pushup challenge that started April 11th. Whether you're doing your first counter pushups or ready for advanced variations, this supportive community will help you progress. Text "pushup" to 913-392-2877 to join us, and let's celebrate every milestone together. Because whether we're conquering mountains or mastering pushups, the joy is in sharing the journey with fellow wellness-seekers who understand that life is about balance—equal parts spandex and wine, effort and enjoyment.
