After a 2-month break, I got back on the machines at Damian Warner. Felt stable. Pushed harder than I thought I could. Strong. Sore today in the best way. This is what the comeback feels like. I have committed to hitting my protein target and limiting carbs until I get back to my ideal weight. Texas has great food and being away from my own kitchen has taken its toll. My elbow feels great, my energy is high. I love it when my routine is dialled in, I feel in control. 💪

63 pull-ups (incredible!). Stomach infection (really gross!). Mom in Lethbridge (heavy). 6 days on horseback in the Montana wilderness (magical!). Boys in Texas exhausted, no licenses—we drove down to help (concerning). My elbow’s shot (annoying). Water damage in the London house, again (frustrating). Our dog, Arlo dies on his 8th birthday(devastating). We launch a new product!(exciting) Aston and Curtis get their drivers licenses(relief!). Trade war stress (uncertainty). We head back to Canada knowing we will have to make some tough decisions. A bit stressful? Understatement. But here’s what I’m realizing: I’m moving between 2 countries at 63. Selling a house. Re-establishing our family business. Building a coaching business. Navigating family complexity. And somehow, I’m still here. Still showing up. Still climbing back when I slip. That’s what I want to document. Not a highlight reel. The real messy, yet exciting thing that’s happening right now. I’m putting my coaching on hold to chronicle this time. Because I think women need to see what it actually looks like to rebuild your life when everything’s uncertain. Who would have guessed I would find myself in the middle of a trade war between the 2 countries that share the largest border and the most cultural similarities. Life is interesting and still so very good. I invite you to come along on this journey. Let’s go 💪.

I’m going west for the next couple of weeks. A few days in Lethbridge with my family and then off to Montana for horseback riding adventure in the mountains. In this chat, I explain how I’ve prepared for this trip so I don’t go off the rails with my health and fitness routine. Let me know in the comments if you have tips and tricks to share when you travel.

Today I share a bit of the disconnect I have between my brain and my body. I got fit and lean physically, and it took a while for me to believe that it was true. Do you struggle with self image issues?

Yesterday I had an encounter with a woman that really had me thinking. She reminded me of myself from years ago. Do you ever hear yourself doing this?
