Welcome to episode 5 of this mini series, where we’re cutting through the noise to help you make informed, confident choices about supplements.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the talk lately around supplements like protein, and creatine, I'm here to clear things up. Because the truth is, supplements aren’t magic, they’re tools. And like any tool, they only work when you understand how (and if) they fit into your routine.
​
Let’s take the guesswork out so you can decide if supplements might benefit your fitness.

What if everything you thought made you who you are… was taken away?

After a devastating car accident ended a promising career as a dancer in New York City, Dawn Christensen was forced to rebuild, not just her body, but her entire outlook on life.

Through chronic illness, over 35 surgeries, and years of deep healing, she discovered a different kind of power: one rooted not in pushing harder, but in listening, softening, and coming back home to herself. Now, she helps others do the same.

Today, Dawn is a Certified Expressive Arts Counselor and certified Somatic Coach, she teaches somatic healing and breathwork. She works one-on-one with individuals navigating chronic illness, anxiety, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. 

This is a story of resilience. Of guardian angels. Of embodiment. Of what it truly means to be fuerte from the inside out.

Welcome to episode four of this mini series, where we focus on the different types of training and what each one brings to your routine. Today we’re breaking down what your body actually needs. Cardio, resistance training, HIIT, flexibility, and balance all play a role in building a strong, capable body. Let's explore how to use each type of training in a way that fits your real life. 

We love your questions. Comment below or reach out to us on social media and tell us what you’d like us to cover next.

Today, I sit down with my chiropractor, Dr. Aixa Santos, to talk about caring for your whole body, rather than treating pain as an isolated problem when it shows up. We discuss her journey from Puerto Rico to Seattle and her path into chiropractic care. She is here to issue an invitation to health; not a quick fix, but the tools and resources to reduce pain and create lasting changes in your mobility and strength. 

If you’re ready to think differently about your body and take a proactive approach to your wellness, this conversation is for you. Tune in and step into your strength.

Welcome to episode three of this mini series, where we turn clarity into action. Today we are talking about strength training and letting go of the idea that there is only one right way to do it. Resistance training can look like weights, bands, bodyweight, core work, cardio, flexibility, or a mix of all of it. The goal is not perfection. It is finding a strength practice that works for you and fits into your real life. Let’s explore your options and help you build strength in a way that feels sustainable and empowering.

Welcome to episode 2 of this mini series, where we shift from momentum to clarity. In this episode, we’ll pinpoint the habits that serve you, let go of the ones that weighed you down, and get clear on the experiences you want to create by year’s end. This podcast is a space for our community to reflect, release, and reset, so we can move forward even stronger!

Welcome to episode 1 of this mini series, where we kick off the new year by building momentum and breaking through the habits that hold us back. In this episode, I’m sharing simple tips you can start using today to develop habits that actually stick. If you feel like you’re getting in your own way or stuck in the same cycle, this episode will help you change that, take baby steps, and turn consistency into real results. Let’s do this together!

Nature has a way of calling us back to ourselves — whether we answer that call alone or in the company of others. In today’s episode, my friend Shannon Vaughn and I dive into our own adventures in the wild, exploring the magic of stepping into nature and the very different experiences of going solo versus traveling with a group. If you’ve been craving fresh air, open trails, and a deeper connection with the world around you, and you want some practical advice to make it happen, this conversation is for you.

​Listen to a conversation with my high school friends Mandy Denham and Heidi Young. They were influencers before it was a thing - at least they were for me! They helped me find my way to running my own business. These entrepreneurial women share hard-won lessons from their careers, marriages, raising children, and more. Even though we now live in three different states, we are as connected as ever. I love these ladies, and so will you!

I did Doc Wilson's 80 mile bike ride in August this year, and I love how he created this as part his business! He has more rides coming up- don't worry if you are a beginner- he's got a 5 mile ride tailored for those looking to create some momentum on the road. You can get out into the fresh air and keep biking right through winter. 

Getting people to move is Doc Wilson's goal, and completely in line with mine, so I just had to know all about Peace Peloton and how to get involved! I found out it was better than I imagined... think 5 mile bike ride, live Salsa band, beer, wine... are you interested yet? Tune in to get all the scoops.
