I’m not going to lie, navigating this back injury has been one of the hardest things I’ve faced.
Living with constant pain. Not being able to move the way I’m used to. Losing the outlet I rely on for my mental health, my creativity, my connection to community… my work, my identity.
It’s forced me inward.
To sit with what is. To accept. To ask who I am beyond what my body can do. To imagine what I want my life to look like—not just when I’m back riding, but now.
I’m 5-months in, and I fully intend to recover (even if it’s slower than I’d like). But I’m realizing the bike and the adventures—they’ve always been the medium.
The deeper work has been the storytelling, the route building, the community, the advocacy.
And that part of me is still here. If anything, I feel more connected to it than ever.
Recently, I made a leap and committed to pursuing an Associate Certified Coach Credential through the International Coaching Federation via the Co-Active Training Institute.
I’m about two-thirds of the way through, and I feel lit up, mentally stretched, and deeply fulfilled by the opportunity to support people in a meaningful way.
I’ve worked with a coach on and off for 10 years, through big transitions, burnout, anxiety, and preparing for my most challenging bike adventures. It’s been one of the most grounding investments I’ve made.
The most powerful part? Realizing the answers are already within me. Sometimes it just helps to say them out loud, with someone who’s really present.
Right now, I’m building hours toward certification.
I’m offering a package of 5 sessions for $150 ($30/session, 50 minutes each). All sessions must be scheduled between now and the end of June.
