Four summers ago, I wasn’t a runner. I had run one mile that season. Then, out of nowhere, a friend asked me to sub in for a 100-mile relay race. My first instinct? No way. But something inside me said, why not?

I showed up. I ran my segments. It wasn’t perfect, but I finished. And the feeling at the end? Unreal. That moment taught me something huge—you don’t have to be ready, you just have to start.

Now, running is my reset button. When my mind is busy, when I need space, when I need to feel strong, I put on my shoes and go.

Starting The GRL Initiative was the same way. I didn’t have all the answers, but I knew I had to start somewhere.

If there’s something you’ve been waiting for—a race, a dream, a challenge—just start. 💜

Ever feel like your workouts (or your whole day) are harder than they should be? It might not be you—it might be your fuel. 🚀

Your body needs the right energy to train, think, and function at its best. But if you’re under-fueled or eating the wrong stuff, you’ll feel sluggish, frustrated, and stuck.

In this blog, we break down:
✅ Clean fuel vs. non-clean fuel (and why it matters)
✅ How proper nutrition makes training easier & more effective
✅ Why balance—not perfection—is key
✅ How to plan ahead so you always have the fuel you need

Because fueling your body isn’t just about fitness—it’s about showing up strong in every part of your life. 💜

Girls today are under more pressure than ever—to be the best, to never fail, to always be on. But where’s the line between pushing yourself to grow and pushing yourself to exhaustion?

By age 14, girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys, not because they don’t love it, but because the pressure becomes too much. It’s time to change the game.

In this blog, we dive into why girls put so much pressure on themselves, why they quit sports, and how to find a healthier balance between ambition and rest. Because success isn’t just about winning today—it’s about showing up for yourself tomorrow.
