Explore the Magic of Motion

15 Years Later

Some collaborations become part of your story—and some become part of your legacy. 💙

15 years ago, we worked together on a project that introduced young people to the world of movement, health, and physical therapy. Today, we’re standing together, looking back on where it started.

These photos are a reminder that sometimes you don’t realize how meaningful a moment is until you look back years later.

15 years. One vision. Still in motion. 🦴✨

There’s something special about connecting with Girl Scout volunteer leaders. 💚

I know firsthand the impact they can have—my mom was my Girl Scout troop leader and my sister’s too! Their dedication creates opportunities for girls to learn, explore, and discover what’s possible.
I’m grateful to now connect with leaders and help bring more experiences in health, movement, and careers to their troops. ✨

15 years ago, a simple idea began: help young people understand their bodies, health, and the power of movement. What started as a passion project became Explore the Magic of Motion®.

✨From Girl Scout Values to Community Impact ✨

One of the most meaningful parts of my Girl Scout journey has been seeing how the lessons I learned as a young Girl Scout continue to shape the way I serve today. Those lessons became the foundation for Explore the Magic of Motion®—a program created to help girls recognize the connection between movement, health, confidence, and their ability to make a difference in the world.


The awards I earned—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—taught me how to identify challenges, take action, and create meaningful change. Being recognized as a Girl Scout of Distinction showed me the power of mentorship and the importance of investing in others.


Years later, receiving a Good Neighbor Award and being invited to serve on a Women of Vision panel felt like coming full circle. The same values Girl Scouts instilled in me—service, leadership, empathy, and bringing people together—continue to guide my work in creating stronger, more connected communities.


From earning awards as a Girl Scout to helping celebrate and support the achievements of others, I’m grateful for an organization that helped me discover my voice and my purpose. 💚

As a lifelong Girl Scout and physical therapist, one thing I'll never forget from the Girl Scout convention was how it brought back deja vu from a physical therapy conference I attended as a student.


Whether is being known for "cookies" or "massage", it made me reflect on how both Girl Scouts and physical therapy are often introduced through one familiar idea—but the more you learn, the more you realize how much they have to offer.

Find mentors. Become one.

The people who guide us change throughout our lives.

My journey began with incredible Girl Scout mentors who taught me the value of leadership, service, and confidence. As my career grew, I found new mentors in colleagues, professors, business advisors, and professionals who challenged me to think bigger and continue learning.

Today, I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back by mentoring students in the clinic and supporting colleagues as they grow in their own careers.

Who helped guide your journey? Give a shout-out to a mentor who made a difference. And if you're in a position to do so, consider how you can be that mentor for someone else.

✨ Gratitude helps us recognize how far we’ve come — and inspires how we move forward.

When we pause and appreciate our journey, we start to notice the lessons, people, and experiences that have shaped who we are.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Gratitude for the moments that taught me to slow down, listen, and reconnect with myself.

✈️ Gratitude for the memories created, the adventures shared, and the people who make the journey meaningful.

🎤 Gratitude for the opportunities to use my experiences and knowledge to encourage, support, and inspire others.

Being grateful is more than looking back — it’s a mindset that helps us stay present, grow with intention, and share kindness along the way. 💛
