Life has taught me a lot about growth—and even more about when to slow down.

In Part 4, I share simple practices that help me stay grounded during life’s unpredictable moments. Or, if you prefer listening, I spoke about this on the Female Guides Requested podcast.

Growth and Balance Series: Stories of Resilience, Self-Discovery, and Adaptable Growth Growth isn’t always linear, and balance doesn’t always come easy. In this series, I share personal lessons from athletic training, career shifts, injury recovery, and life’s unpredictable turns. These reflections explore goal setting, mental resilience, the importance of slowing down, and list...

Ever feel like your inner critic is louder than your cheerleader?

In Part 3, I share a story about two voices in my head: my calm Soul Surfer and my relentless Ego.

💬 What helps you step away from ego-driven pushing and return to balance?

Soul Surfer vs. Ego: Mastering Mindset in Training and Life Discover how shifting from ego to flow—and the power of a simple smile—can transform training, learning, and personal growth.

We’re working to expand access to high-quality EMS and first responder training across the Sierra—and we need your voice.
With support from a Catalyst Grant, we’re developing new training programs, offering scholarships, and exploring a Rural, Austere, & Wilderness EMS degree. But before anything launches, we’re listening.

If you’re already in the field—EMT, paramedic, nurse, SAR, firefighter, ski patrol—or if you’re interested in becoming a first responder, your input matters.

Have you ever felt guilty about adjusting a goal?

In Part 2 of the Growth and Balance Series, I talk about the turning point when I realized pushing through wasn’t the answer—listening and adjusting was.

💡 Sometimes it’s not about quitting—it’s about changing pace.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to slow down?

Exercising Patience: Adjusting Goals to Maintain Balance (Part 2) Discover how to balance ambition with self-care by learning when to adjust your goals. Reflections on patience, persistence, and sustainable growth.

Sometimes the best goals start with getting to know ourselves a little better.

In Part 1 of my Growth and Balance Series, I used a simple reflection tool called a SWOT analysis to check in on my strengths and barriers before setting goals.

This week’s reflection:
✅ What’s a strength you’ve been underestimating?
✅ What’s one small barrier you could plan around this month?
