We can't expect to effectively move forward with half the population carrying sandbags.

I learned a long time ago that the last thing any woman should be thinking about is being 'skinny' or 'thin.' To me, those words imply weakness, fragility, the inability to stand firm in a storm. If you want to change your body, aim for 'athletic.' An athletic body is healthy, strong, and built to thrive. An athletic body can take many shapes.

When you're a dreamer, heart break and failure come with the territory, but I can tell you it's worth it, because it's a way of living that is both moving and memorable.

Sometimes we push ourselves. We take a workout and we use it as a way to crack open our shell, let the pain rush in and push out the stagnant wounds of the heart. Sometimes a workout sets you free.

When you recognize that failing doesn't make you a failure, you give yourself permission to try all sorts of things.

We can't expect to effectively move forward with half the population carrying sandbags.

Success has a very narrow definition in professional athletics: medals and records, and pursuit of anything outside of that is looked down upon.
