It is time.

Some days, I sit still enough that I feel all the way from my toes to my nose how lucky I am.

I will never forget the first time I felt the full body tingles of empathy, seeing another person, and watching them, and my ability to try on their life and then love them from that place.

Today, I know this is my superpower. Today I know this informs my purpose for being on this planet.

I have been given the magical blessing of creating and fulfilling my purpose by helping women reach their desired ultimate potential. The past year, more than any other year I have been pressed, asked by the universe by way of circumstance if this is what I really want, am I really up for it?

I can tell you with certainty, I am.

I exist to hold space for transformational change, and I have been blessed with a couple of really powerful vehicles to get that work done.

You see, the way it is, is fucked. We have a tremendous amount of work to do.

Women leaving the workforce because they can not create a childcare solution that allows them to have harmony with their work and their families.

Women being paid inadequately for their work.

Women managing households, companies and themselves with zero support.

Women being passed over because of the color of their skin.

I say ENOUGH. It is time to radically uproot and change the context, I for one am done with a working world that forces us to forget we have children for 8 hours of the day. I am done with women being paid less than their worth, I am done with my sisters being passed over because of racial injustices.

ENOUGH.

Ladies, it is time. It has been time, we are ushering in a new calendar year, a new space, a new era that NEEDS our energy. Not our best masculine impression of being a woman, no no, our BEST as WOMXN.

Our innate female traits, our female energy that has been suppressed and redirected, it is time to harness those superpowers and change the world.

I see you, I love you, let’s do this.

2021 Vision Planning
23A648B3-4623-416F-BCDD-ACBD8CE9B7D1.jpeg

2021 vision. How is your planning going? Are you struggling to find the inspiration to create a meaningful plan for next year?

I want to share with you 3 tips that work for me to help you focus on creating a magical plan for 2021.

1. Start with you, center yourself and spiritually clear all the negative stories affiliated with 2020. How can you let go of the stories and create a brand new narrative for 2021?

2. Let yourself dream, and dream BIG! Create and visualize the most outrageous accomplishment you could imagine. We all want magic to unfold in our life so imagine what that is... then...

3. Create a visual, digital or paper visual of what that dream looks like! Some might call it a vision board. Give yourself daily spiritual eye candy to meditate on.

Once you’ve primed your pump now you are ready to set some actual goals that are smart.

Specific measurable, actionable/ achievable , realistic/relevant and time sensitive.

I’m here to help! Let’s dream to plan and plan to be on purpose!

Integrity Always Wins

When one of your values is personal integrity, the road narrows, real quick. What does that mean? Recently I have made a handful of statements and commitments that mean the world to me. Equity and opportunity for those that deserve the opportunity regardless of race, gender, life experiences... I get so fired up about creating safe places for people to thrive. I’ve had more than a few opportunities to make decisions that impact this integral part of my belief system and ya know what, I’ve chosen to stick to my values instead of going with the alternative. Is it easy or “fun” to pass by opportunities, say goodbye or upset people to stay in integrity with my values, nope, not even a little. But you know what it does do, it’s like another squat at the end of a set when I am hitting fatigue, I know if I keep going the next workout I’ll be stronger, the muscle will break down and build itself back up even stronger and more resilient. I look at this photo and I see a woman that has weathered countless storms and chosen sacrifice over comfort. Why does this matter? Because, behind the scenes, behind my eyes is a vigilant determination to do what is right, and, I want that for you. It is so much more fulfilling to sleep at night clear minded than plot out the next move. I love not having anything to remember because I tell the truth. I share in the spirit of making sure anyone interested in the narrow path, to assure you it will not be clear of obstacles, instead... Buckle up, get a good group of people to surround you to champion the hard times and rally with, and let’s change the world, the right way, with integrity. #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womenwithintegrity #womeninfitness #wifa #community #integrity

Give Birth to New Opportunities
2B2A0090.jpeg

Collaboration, the action of working with someone to produce or create something. Something new that’s never been there before! Read that again, new! Brand new, couldn’t have been there before. When we work together something gets the opportunity to be birthed that was not there before. Don’t believe the lie that you have to hoard or hold on without sharing your accomplishments, totally the opposite! When you share your wins and collaborate, you give way to something brand new, that could have never been there before. Therefore making MORE for everyone. So next time you score a win, a new opportunity, look around, who can you take with you across the finish line? What first win can you give away to someone else? #womenhelpingwomen #collab #collaboration #makenewopportunities #wifa #wifawomen #womeninbusiness #womeninfitness

The Art of Integration with Lindsey Rainwater

A few months back I had the distinct honor of being on the Fitness Career Mastery Podcast with Barry Ennis and Shay Kostabi. They are two fabulously talented people that are supporting fitness professionals all over the world to excel in their business’s. Check out the interview, how do you integrate?

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• How to integrate the things that are most important to you into everything that you do

• Create an abundance of time in your day

• What to do when you’re feeling “out of balance”

Here’s the Complete List of Tips:

(11:30) What is the art of integration?

How to decide what is important to you, including what is “important” versus “urgent”, how to these priorities into 3-5 buckets, and then how to integrate the most important things to you into everything that you do.

(17:30) Incorporating integration into your life

Take all of the tasks that you have to get done in the day. Create your matrix of time, and quadrants of “what has to happen today”, “what is just as important but can be fulfilled later”, “what is not urgent and not important” “what is not important at all”. Take the tasks, and put them into each of those categories, and then calendar your day from there. Consider creating different calendars for each of your “buckets”.

(23:30) When you feel you “don’t have time”

Einstein time versus Newtonian time. The concept of Einstein time grows with the things that you feel a profound “yes” to. If you’re out of integrity with the things that you’re doing, you’ll never have enough time for the things you don’t want to do. So if you’re doing things that you don’t want to do, you will have a very hard time finding time to do everything.

(31:00) Make good on your commitments even if the pan falls through 

(34:00) If you feel that you’re “out of balance”

It’s possible that you’ve lost momentum on the things that are very important to you, even if they don’t feel as fulfilling at this moment in time. Perhaps you get a huge adrenaline rush or dopamine release from doing things for your new business. Are you choosing that rush over other things in your life that are equally important to you?

(40:20) How to go from big picture to day to day

How do you go from being a helicopter in the air looking down at your life to things like making dinner.

(48:30) How to manage compromise on your core values

(50:30) What the Women in Fitness Association is all about

The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks

Lindsey’s Blog


“As we enter a new year and decade, it’s natural to not only go into a state of reflection over the last year (and decade) and also start thinking ahead to all the things you want to do differently and accomplish moving forward. Sometimes those to-do lists can get so long that we wind up feeling overwhelmed before we even get started, and often when we do start getting after it, we soon find ourselves feeling out of balance with what we value the most.

That’s why we brought on Lindsey Rainwater to speak to us not about finding balance, but something even better- learning how to integrate the things that we value most into everything that we do, and ensure that we’re spending our time in the most effective way day in and day out, so we can quickly reach those big scary goals that we’ve set for ourselves.”
