I believe in the hot girl walk. The focus-on-yourself, reflect-in-gratitude, low-impact cardio walk. And there is no place better than Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) winding through the center of Austin, full of people and dogs to watch. I haven’t ever done a group one though! Enter my fave athletic wear brand: Senita. I’m leading…
Grounding. I’ve been back in Austin for just over a week now, and I’m so happy. I feel at ease, at home. My bug bites are healing, Nali is getting used to the heat, and I’m spending time around the lake as much as possible to try to make up for missing the ocean. Nurturing.…
