Throwback to last week when my wife and I celebrat Throwback to last week when my wife and I celebrated our anniversary at @phleavenworth . Highly recommend! What do YOU do to celebrate milestones in your life or in relationships?
Last week, I posted in my story about how I was ex Last week, I posted in my story about how I was experiencing burnout. It felt so deep, exhausted in my bones. I had pushed my body, mind, and soul far further than I should have before I took a break and it lead to me feeling resentful, scared, alone, and worn out. I learned so many things about myself. I learned to set better boundaries, to make those boundaries clear, and to not over-give. I also learned that talking about this struggle to balance the things of life - is sooooooo common. Talking about it yielded DOZENS of messages from people feeling the same way. Entrepreneurs who had felt the same things. Service providers who felt chewed up and spit out by the “go go go” nature of pandemic life. I want you to know that you’re not alone if things are feeling difficult. I’m on the other side of that burnout, gave myself time to relax and decompress - and I support you in doing the same, however that looks for you. We aren’t alone. Sending big hugs or high fives to you today. Do something nice for YOU today.
A very very special teenager made this hat for me A very very special teenager made this hat for me and today was the first morning I felt chilly enough to wear it. What a spectacular hat! Handmade gifts make me feel so special - thinking of all the time and energy that went into creating them. Thank you, M! @runvicksterrun What’s the best homemade or handmade gift you’ve ever received, friends?

The last 6+ weeks have been difficult, but one of the things that has helped me through (and so many other times) are our 3 amazing dogs.

No, you don’t need to feel body shame. No, you d No, you don’t need to feel body shame. No, you don’t need a have a certain body to wear a bikini. No, you don’t have to associate movement with punishment. No, you don’t have to “burn off” what you ate. No, you don’t need to “shred for the wedding” or “build a better booty”. Who came up with “the Covid nineteen” and “the freshman 15”, and “gotta get summer ready”? A trillion dollar industry that seeks to benefit from exploiting your deepest darkest fears - but not for your benefit. First comes shame and by TEACHING you that taking you SHOULD feel shame. Next up - taking space, living , enjoying life - are wrong. Then the “solution”. You’re taught that beauty is; regret, shame, shrinking, starving, self-deprivation and deprecation. Next, that if you don’t attain the standards set, by using industry methods, if you don’t look the “part”, if your body isn’t an “after photo” you’ve failed. And then the cycle of shame begins again. This narrative from the industry is so widespread it is woven into the tapestry of our culture. We’ve been lead to believe the lies. That there’s always something wrong with us. It’s the shame taught by this industry that means parents won’t swim with their kids. The judgment of this industry that means there are women who won’t allow themselves to be photographed, ever. The toxicity of this industry that leads to disordered eating, dysmenorrhea, and injuries. And the industry will teach you that nothing is ever “too far”, there’s “always” a product you can buy, or a “10 day detox for that”. And all of it is a lie. Your body is a fucking miracle. How old is your car? With all the science, gears, pistons, cables, computers, dials, and parts? Your body, your natural organic vessel, lasts longer than most vehicles. It outperforms the life of the most incredible iPhone. Your body has over 7 trillion nerves, 60,000 miles of blood vessels, 22 feet of intestines, 650+ muscles, 206+ bones. You are INFINITE. You take up space because you are whole. A soul within a vessel. I don’t believe we were created to endlessly feel shame, or pressure to shrink, to change our shapes. Bodies are incredible.
