The kind of stress you actually need. + 2 complimentary spots left!
Several of you on my email list received this week's newsletter about my beautiful Korean friend (the one who reminds me of Princess Kate 😊) whose mom came to visit from Korea and immediately pointed out that her skin wasn't as "glassy" anymore... and that she'd put on a little weight.
It got me thinking about something psychologists call negativity bias.
Our brains are incredibly good at highlighting what's wrong, or what could go wrong.
That wiring helped our ancestors survive but today it just keeps us in a low-grade stress state.
In the newsletter I talked about the negative stressors we have some control over like:
❌self-criticism, ❌overcommitting and ❌under-eating, ❌ over-exercising
I also talked about something we don't hear enough about...
Good stress! 💯 💪
The kind that not only cancels negative stress but also actively makes us feel and look better... stronger.
One of my favorite forms of good stress is strength training.
Because it teaches our body that we can do something challenging... recover... and come back stronger (mentally, emotionally and physically) the next time.
That's the definition of resilience and it's my favorite word in 2026.
My current lower-body workout is linked below.
Three exercises.
Three sets.
About 20 minutes.
I'm focusing on lower body because training the bigger muscles gives me the biggest return on my time. Plus, I want larger, stronger glutes. 😉 🍑
🌺 If you're on Oahu, I opened a second complimentary session for small group, in-person strength coaching. Friday is full but Saturday, 7/11, 7:30am -8:30am was just added. Reply here to reserve your spot.
I'll teach you a simpler structure, proper form to build muscle faster and we'll eliminate unnecessary fluff. We can also go over nutrition 101 and FAQs.
If you're interested, simply DM me or post "me" below!
