EFB Coaching

July in a nutshell: plenty of iced lattes to survive the heat, brewery trips with Bella, TRIP cans instead of wine, and finally taking my work outside more.

The body stuff is happening because the life stuff is finally calm…but not because chaos disappeared. It’s because I stopped letting chaos be my excuse to break promises to myself.

That’s the actual formula. Not a new diet or program. Just consistency and standards I don’t lower just because life gets messy.

And getting to watch my clients hit their goals this month while I’m doing the same? That never gets old. That’s the whole point.

Sushi Friday. Gym Saturday morning. Walked by the water even though it was 95 degrees, because at least there was a good view. Got all the steps I needed ✔️

Then some of the best bbq in Austin — because this is what having standards actually looks like. Not less, just better.

Trained hard, ate well, still had the bbq. That’s the whole point.

Having goals & standards doesn’t mean life has to be boring 🤟🏻

Been a minute 👋🏼🇺🇸

No crazy life update… things have just been really good lately.

Living in the moment, saying yes a lil more often, soaking up summer, and feeling grateful ~ for the people in my life, the work I get to do, and all the little moments in between 😗

May dump. Just a little late 😗

Last month felt like an entire year compressed into 31 days. It started in greece, which set the tone for everything - the clarity, the alone time, the okay, what do I actually want conversations that only seem to happen when you’re completely removed from your normal life.

Hard decisions were made. The kind you’ve been circling for a while but needed the right headspace to actually land on. About business, about coaching, about what stays and what doesn’t.

Because this year is about rebuilding. And doing it in ways that feel right and authentic.

It’s about remembering that I created the freedom to take client strategy calls from my hotel room, answer check-ins on the plane, or catch up on voice memos from a cafe in a new city —> & none of that feels like hustle to me. It feels like the whole point. It’s what I spent years and years building toward without always knowing that’s what I was building toward.

And let’s not forget about the endless foodie adventures, Bella time, eye masks, tennis lessons, and just enjoying time with the amazing ladies in my life 🥂

Monday photo dump & three words from this weekend that have been on a loop in my head ever since…

—> Integrity over perception

Let me be honest with you about what perception has looked like for me…

In the past, I’ve trained for a body that photographs well instead of one that feels good to live in.

I’ve posted a meal that “looked balanced” when I was actually still hungry.

I’ve made content I didn’t feel aligned with because the strategy said it would convert.

I’ve built parts of my business that looked smart on paper and felt wrong in my body.

I’ve stayed quiet about pivots because I was scared of what the public version of changing my mind would cost me.

Integrity is the version of all of this that no one’s watching.

It’s training because I love being strong, not because the angle is flattering. It’s eating enough to feel like a person, even when “enough” doesn’t fit the aesthetic. It’s building a coaching business that fits my actual life instead of the one that would sound most impressive to others. It’s letting myself change my mind in public without performing the change.

I don’t want a body or a business that only looks right. I want a body and a business that are right ~ for me ~

And I promise you - chase that version of yourself, and watch how fast your life starts feeling like yours again. 🤍

Something I can’t stop thinking about since getting back: why do some women build things sustainably for years…and others hit a wall they never quite recover from?

Because I’ve watched both extremes up close.

The hustle version: you’re proud of being busy. Sleep is a personality flaw. You grind until your body literally forces you to stop…illness, burnout, a cortisol crash that takes months to recover from. You call it discipline. Your body calls it a threat.

The soft life version: rest is the whole identity. Boundaries around everything, output optional. It looks beautiful on the internet. But somewhere underneath there’s often avoidance dressed up as alignment.

Neither is actually freedom.

What I’ve been slowly learning - and what Greece made undeniable, is that your nervous system isn’t separate from your ambition.

It is your ambition.

A regulated system thinks clearer, decides faster, creates better, and recovers quicker.

So what is the third option?

It looks like this: you still do the work. You still have the drive. But you stop wearing exhaustion like a badge and start treating your energy like the asset it actually is. Regulated, grounded, and building from a full cup…not an empty one. 🤍
