New Blog - Where I’m going from here

It’s the end of January. We all know the troublesome news concerning Meta social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram), and X (formerly Twitter). I’ve been on Instagram pretty much since it launched. I love it. I have well over 2000 posts there. I have met some really great people through that platform, many who have become friends in real life. I don’t want to leave it. But I also feel like it’s not a platform I want to contribute to anymore because I feel so out of my personal integrity by staying on a platform that is kowtowing to the current administration instead of doing what’s best for their users. I don’t want to support the current policies of these platforms with my content anymore.

So my plan is to start posting here! On MY own platform. My website, that I own. Not Zuck or Musk or any of them.

Maybe slightly longer sometimes. But still short, digestible, “captions” and photos.

Social media was always a way for me to provide value, and connect with people. But it’s also a massive time suck! I know you know what I mean.

The endless scrolling, the screen fatigue. I think a lot of us are starting to see how it’s stealing so much of our time. Maybe it’s just me.

In any case, I’d love to have you here. I’ll probably share on socials when I have a new post here, but I want my energy and creativity pouring into something that’s truly mine again. I think I started my first blog in 2005 right here on a Squarespace site! It was called Digging to China - a metaphor for the search for truth, the digging beneath the surface and peeling back the layers, like a child digging the endless hole in the sand at the beach.

In other news, in case you didn’t know…

My very own Whole Mama Fit private studio has been open in south Bozeman, Montana for almost a year! It’s the ONLY pregnancy and postpartum-specific training studio in the whole state. As far as I know. It’s not yoga, it’s perinatal fitness and strength training to help you get fit for birth, postpartum, parenting, and LIFE. And it’s where I train private clients, optimizing their bodies through corrective exercise, nutrition support, and mindfulness practices.

Overlooking my three horses’ paddock, nestled amongst mature spruce trees, and frequented by wild bunnies and deer, it’s an oasis of calm at the base of the Gallatin mountain range and I’m excited to share it with you here.
