Welcome to the Soul Fit Journey – my personal blog where I share all things health, fitness, and travel. My passion for holistic wellbeing, encompassing mind, body, and soul, has continued to grow over the years. That voice inside me telling me to share my journey has gotten louder and louder, so here I am! In coming up with my blog’s name, I was trying to find something that captures my values in life. Much of what I’ve been through the past few years has helped me gain clarity on what those values are, and the words “Soul” “Fit” and “Journey” capture it perfectly.
SOUL: the definition of soulful is “full of or expressing feeling or emotions.” That. is. me. I am a deeply emotional person. I feel a lot. I care a lot. I sense feelings in others. And I’m no good at hiding those emotions. I’ve learned to embrace my feelings as a strength. To me, soul also encompasses finding those things in life that LIGHT up your soul. You know when you feel something in your heart that just feels right, good, or peaceful? Those are the types of experiences I’ve been seeking more and more in life. Having the self-awareness to know what brings you energy and what takes away your energy is so powerful. I’ve been listening to my soul more and more and hope to inspire you to do so as well.
FIT: fitness is a huge part of my life. I love almost anything that involves moving my body – hiking, running, lifting, biking, group fitness, you name it. I love things that will challenge me in new ways, and there are never ending ways to challenge yourself in fitness. I’ve gone through different periods of my life where I am really into certain types of exercise. I was a gymnast growing up, got into long distance running in college, and now I love lifting and group fitness, so much so, that I took a leap of faith and started teaching group fitness a couple years ago. And it turns out, coaching is one of the things that lights up my soul!
JOURNEY: Because life is a journey. It’s inevitable that we will go through different seasons in life, and I believe there can be lessons and joy in all those seasons, even the difficult ones. This is something I am constantly working to remind myself of. There is no one perfect path in life; we all have different journeys, different timelines, and different stories. And we have to find happiness while we are ON the journey.
My WHY behind this blog is to inspire, empower, and encourage people on their own journeys of life. I hope through sharing my stories, lessons, and adventures, you can find the hope, inspiration, or empowerment you’re seeking, in whatever area of life.
Stay grateful.
Stay curious.
Stay humble.

I love this and love you ❤️
