I’m pretty much always “working on myself” but I love the way my dear/completely badass friend frames the quest in this article: Work on yourself now before it comes back to bite you in the ass. And then! Completely digging my Co-Star reading for yesterday: You are learning how to come to terms with your…
Celebrating my dad, the best dad, at Treaty Oak was a perfect Sunday! Sushi happy hour… Getting to know friends better. Letting people love me for who I am. For my dichotomies. As my champions. Embracing too much rejection. Playing Level 3 volleyball. Vanushing. Biking. Nali has sarcoma. It’s old lady cancer and there’s nothing…
Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad of all time. Buy his latest book here. All of last weekend was great, from volleyball and yoga to south Austin bars to climbing and swimming at the Greenbelt to Austin Winery and family dinner, plus floating in my cowboy pool and reading in my hammock. It was…

This is a story of allergies. Just kidding, except it is … despite being a native, every spring in Austin the allergies KICK MY ASS. I take my daily allergy meds, use my sinus rinse, take all the dirty hippie immune boosters, drink echinacea tea … and still! I had to take a whole damn…
[author’s note: I am posting this unedited; written 4/23/21 // and then I never finished it because I flew to Costa Rica and tried to go off the grid as much as possible. But it’s so … happy! So I’m publishing it before publishing this week’s FGF.] I am starting this list on a feel…
I was interviewed on a podcast yesterday! It was my first time (not hosting). It was SO much fun. I LOVE MY TEAM so much. The past two days have been long, long workdays. I hurt my knee and was scared it was bad but kind of knew it wasn’t but was still scared because…
Maybe seven years ago, I wrote a blog post about failing for a crossfit gym. Here is the cliffs notes version: one of the best things I think powerlifting teaches is how to fail: How to safely fail – bailing out of a squat or lift How to rally from a fail – just because…
