I stopped mid-walk because something felt off. She hadn’t eaten. I handed her a GU and stayed awhile. That moment reminded me why I always carry what I do and why staying present matters just as much as staying fueled.

I didn’t see myself in the wellness space so I created something that could carry my voice. From one pre-workout bottle in a suitcase to a whole movement, Amplificador was built from the ground up to reflect who I am and how I move.

Socks might seem like a small thing until you’re 7 miles in and ready to rip them off. Here’s how I choose my socks for races, trails, and training days, plus my non-negotiable foot prep routine.

The day started slow, no new payments, no new emails, and an aching body from the days before. But I laced up, adjusted, and moved anyway. This post shares how small actions like switching shoes, hydrating, and carrying a few cherries and trail fuel helped me stay in motion, because staying stuck isn’t an option.

After a long walk during a slow, tension-filled week, I stretched on my bed and something opened. My soreness disappeared, my mind cleared, and I felt something I didn’t know I was missing. Here's how it happened and how to try it yourself especially if you're carrying more than physical weight.

When the work is slow and the path is quiet, I still lace up and go. One of the best moves I've made? Rotating my shoes. This trail-tested strategy keeps my feet fresh and my spirit moving forward. Here’s how it works and why it matters.

Sometimes coming back to movement isn’t about performance. It’s about remembering what you enjoy. From long walks to slow strength, here’s how I’ve been rebuilding from the ground up.

Zuma didn’t give us sun, but it gave us something better, a space to breathe. From water shoes on cold sand to supporting ice cream vendors by the shore, here’s why I show up even when the skies stay gray.

A walk on Redondo Pier turns into an unexpected moment of inspiration. From fresh seafood to California’s first surfer, here’s to bold steps and bolder ideas.

Same trail, same walk but the energy shifted. Watermelon for the squirrels, LAPD in the lot, and a reminder that even under tension, movement still matters.

Back on the path where it all began this time on foot, in concrete runners, and fully in my power. I switched terrain, shoes, and strategy to keep the fire lit without burning out. Tomorrow? The beach gets this same energy.

After some time off, I’m back on the trail sorting through what still works and what’s ready to be replaced. I got new shoes, not the ones I expected… but they were the right ones. This post isn’t about fancy gear, it’s about movement, confidence, and earning what carries you.

A walk through Silver Lake Reservoir reminded me that presence is power. From the open meadow to a quiet prayer box asking, “What are you thankful for?”, I moved slow, head down, heart open and I wrote one word: movement.

Golden hills covered in wild poppies reminded me that movement can also be wonder. This trail was pure joy; soft, bold, alive.

Beach mode officially unlocked. I’ve been building my summer gear stash and now that the heat is here, I’m ready to move, rest, and repeat.
