,

As we move through this season of warmth, connection, and entirely-too-many-pies, I want to pause and take a breath with you. This time of year naturally invites reflection on the people in our lives, the work we do, the experiences that shaped us, and the goals that continue to pull us forward.

Thanksgiving is a reminder of celebration, community, family, love, laughter… and yes, good food.

And this morning, sitting early with my coffee, I found myself reflecting on the good, the bad, and the beautifully messy parts of this past year.

This year brought its share of challenges on a personal, physical, and emotional level. Injuries, transitions, setbacks, and those uncomfortable but important moments that forced growth.

It also brought triumphs: healing, breakthroughs, clearer purpose, and countless small victories that now feel like steppingstones toward something bigger.

Every challenge reminded me to appreciate the details we often overlook:

• Every rep done with intention.
• Every client win.
• Every chance to grow.
• Every opportunity to show the world who we are and who we’re committed to becoming.

And today, on behalf of both Dan and myself, we want to express our sincere gratitude for YOU.

We’re grateful for:

• Those who show up, even when life gets loud.
• Those who are working to better themselves and the lives of others.
• The coaches, clients, and community members who pour time, energy, and heart into becoming stronger humans.
• Everyone who trusts us to guide them, challenge them, and walk alongside their process.

You remind us daily that this work matters. That people matter. And that the real flex in life isn’t a PR. It’s showing up for yourself and others with purpose.

Thank you for being part of this community.

Thank you for believing in growth.

Thank you for letting us be part of your story.
