Welcome to My New Movement Blog

What is this place?

Welcome to my online space. In theory, I love to write and always thought a blog would be a great outlet. By workday, I run a 7 figure Mind Body Studio in one of the largest Health Clubs in the nation. run a Mind Body studio that is slowly recovering from the pandemic in the best way that it can in a Health Club that is strict about masks, physical distancing, and constant disinfection and lucky enough to consult with the top infectious disease specialists in the Midwest. I have a house, a husband and a kid, and I am finally finding the time to put my thoughts out into the ether. eeking out what little time I can to write here. From time to time, I still bite off more than I can chew.

Am I a little too late? Is blogging even a thing anymore? Will anyone actually read this? Are we only capable of reading those easily digestible micro blogs on Insta? Are podcasts our only means of taking in lots of words at a time? Are any of these good enough reasons to not try this? Never. So here it is, my lovelies, my blog.

I plan to share what I can about my work. That should include a lot about patience, fostering growth in the people that work for you, Pilates, the GYROTONIC® Method, Yoga, hospitality. You can also expect a good deal about the challenges that come with motivating people to live their best lives, as well as motivating myself to do the same. There might also be some stuff about parenting (which has taught me more about managing people than actually managing people), marriage, and home improvement. To protect the innocent, I guarantee that all the names have been changed and any similarity to people you may think that I know is completely coincidental….or at least that is the story I will be taking to my grave.

In all seriousness, I’m sharing my experiences in the hope that they might help you run your business, inspire you in your workouts, help your through a difficult client scenario or otherwise, somehow, move you.

If It Goes Without Saying, Maybe Don’t Say It?

As a manager, some of my best work comes from the edit. Did you know that you don’t have to say everything you are thinking, all of the time? There’s a reason why we are drawn to people who are mysterious, but even more than that, TMI is exhausting. Earlier today, I was asked to…

I wrote a poem. I’ll just put this here for now. What if all the rules we’ve written were wrong Because they are While not wholly inaccurate, every statement of how this all should work just isn’t quite right The lines we draw are ephemeral, even when black and clear and sharp She reached through…

Tuesday Mourning

Over a year ago, Tuesday nights in our studio were wild. Sure, there are times when the studio could get loud and exuberant, but Tuesday nights were unlike any other. There were 6 instructors crammed on the schedule, and they all embraced the vibe. Their clients embraced the energy. Everyone knew everyone. When someone was…
