PeakFit Coaching

It only just occurred to me that 2026 marks THIRTY YEARS of climbing for me. Being “retired” for 9 of those hasn’t made me feel any less of that love at my core. I feel at home when I climb- in my body, my mind, my spirit.

Climbing has gifted me with so much, it’s hard to pick just one highlight from the last three decades….

🦋 10 years on the USA Climbing team
🦋 8 world championships & world cups 🌎
🦋 Meeting my HUSBAND🥇and so many close friends to this day
🦋 Competing in a campusing comp at 27 weeks pregnant 🙃 (swipe for the evidence haha)
🦋 Countless hours with no sound besides wind on rock 🧗‍♀️(this is church to me)
🦋 Watching my daughter get so excited about climbing I have to literally peel her off the wall to go home 🥰

🏡 What’s that activity that feels like HOME to you?

🎉 Fun to learn I’ve earned an Elite License for my performances in the Spartan season lately! It’s a bye to the 2027 season championships 🤯

I’m signed up for a second-go at the 2026 Sprint World Championships in Croatia this fall. But a devastating diagnosis of a close family member is rightfully making all of us pause.

Maybe I’m a bit tired from the back to back comps I completed within a few weeks of each other (with great results- a 4th & a 2nd!). But thinking of skipping this year and having to requalify next year for another go at the championships feels daunting.

🔥I know myself- I’ll be itching to tackle that qualifying race again next summer. But with all the recent events, it feels satisfying to know I have my spot at the world championships waiting for me next year 💜

🔥 … It’s not about creating future Olympians or college athletes with scholarships. It’s about creating a lifelong love of fitness. That exercise is fun, not punishment.

🔥I see too many kids with their faces glued to a screen. Let’s start including them in our activities. Yes, I sometimes have to sacrifice my own workout to help my daughter “workout” with me. But the answers to growing obesity, childhood type II diabetes, and rising anxiety rates include much more engagement, inclusion, and adventure off a screen.

🔥As a community, that also means we need to be ok with loud kids, interruptions on occasion, messy spaces, and creating a culture where failure and mistakes are embraced as a normal part of the process. It doesn’t mean the kids rule the roost- there is still structure, expectations, and boundaries. But we can’t expect to have a thriving society if we get upset at loud kids at the restaurant because they’re not on a screen.

🔥I recognize this is the hard way of doing things. Thank you Sophie Brock (& everyone else taking class) for your patience as I dragged my screaming kid out of the 3pm class yesterday because I moved her cones “too early.” It’s not always going to go according to plan. But I’m sure gonna try again. Because the alternative is a different kind of death.

K, rant over 🫠 Thanks for being here.

Choosing this every time. Anyone else normal like me? 🫠

😈 GAME FACE…. I strive to be a positive and encouraging force in the world. But when I hit the start line, “mountain lion” Chauncey shows up. The “leave it all out there,” “just try to catch me,” “hope you brought your best too” Mama Bear.

🏃🏻‍♀️You can have the best training and nutrition plan, but your mind can either be your biggest asset or your crumbling weakness. I LOVE working with my clients on performance mindset.

🔥What gets you fired up before an event? I’d love to hear it!
