Living Well

This section of my blog is all about movement, wellness, and taking care of my body in ways that work for me—not for a trend or a standard I can’t (or don’t want to) meet.

Living with multiple chronic conditions and disabilities has changed how I approach health. My journey includes time at the gym, tracking steps, adapting to new limitations, and finding accessible ways to stay active and present in my own body.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Personal posts about fitness, movement, and adaptive wellness
  • Past entries about step tracking and my Trans Canada Trails journey
  • Reflections on body changes, weight, and measurements
  • Honest thoughts on motivation, burnout, and redefining success

This isn’t a place for one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, it’s a space to explore what has worked for me, what I’ve learned from trusted sources, and how I navigate the ups and downs of maintaining health and wellbeing.

Whether you’re someone with disabilities trying to find what “wellness” looks like for you, or you’re simply curious about movement beyond gym culture, I’m glad you’re here.
