The house is officially warmed and the birthday ho The house is officially warmed and the birthday honored in style 🥂

So grateful for the wonderful friends and family who came to celebrate with me.

Including special recognition for my brother who flew in from DC and uncle who surprised me from California for the weekend.

“I just can’t believe you’re here!! I am so happy” must have rolled off my tongue 💯 times.

Happy indeed 🫶🏻
People work with people, not logos. Show the peopl People work with people, not logos. Show the people and build trust faster.

Both of these looks are the real me.

Full glam on a weekly zoom? Ha hard pass 🙅🏻‍♀️

Full glam for an event or while representing a client with media? 💯

Be YOU online and you’ll attract those who resonate with the person (or people) they’ll *actually be working with* after the contract is signed and deposit is paid.

Now.. who wants to be next baller DCM client?! 

The krewe and I are taking on new clients for July. Will you be one??

Welcome to one runner’s corner of IG where heart Welcome to one runner’s corner of IG where heart (literally🫀), hustle, and real-life stories take the lead - not paces and strava snapshots 🙅🏻‍♀️

I’m here for the long game:

to run until I’m 80. 

So yeah, I love the marathon and I train hard, but for longevity, fun and the challenge, not chasing aesthetics. 

It’s about growth, not perfection. 

And always keeping it honest, on and off the run.

Sound like you? Then let’s be friends 👋🏻

Totally worth the $8.

It’s fun, it’s challenging, and above all: I C It’s fun, it’s challenging, and above all: I CAN. 

And oh how acutely do I remember when that wasn’t the case. All I wanted to do after my heart attacks was to run again.

I needed to learn to trust my body again; to believe it wouldn’t break down on me.

Running provided that. One step, one minute and one mile at a time.

I’ve got some big marathon goals ahead and though I fall into the comparison trap more times than I’d like, having this displaying in my office truly helps.

It centers me on my core “why” of running.

It’s not for others, accolades or strava brags… it’s for me.

It’s for my body, my health and because I CAN run.

Grandmother played tennis until she was 80 and I fully intend to follow her example with my running.

Whatever the pace, whatever the distance, we focus on forward 👊🏻

I may be stuck on the marathon now, but the real M I may be stuck on the marathon now, but the real MVP of my running career has been this 10k...

On December 10, 2011 I had a heart attack at age 26. 

On January 17, 2012 I had another one. 

On January 30, 2012 I walked into my first cardiac rehab appointment. 

Doctor: What goals do you want to accomplish here?

Me: I want to run again. 

One step and one minute (literally!) at a time, I rebuilt my endurance and clarified my goal further: 

I want to run the Lawyers Have Heart 10k without stopping to walk. 

That goal seemed as massive to me back then as a full marathon may to some of you. 

But each step forward I improved a bit, got more confidence back in my body, and reclaimed a sport that has become a lifestyle today. 

To see the race added a specific “Survivors Lane” this year brings me so much joy.

I know precisely how hard it is to walk that lane and am so happy to see the newest class of survivors honored in such a wonderful way for their hard work. 

@heartofgwr keep up the good work 🫶🏻

Sincerely,

A 2x heart attack survivor turned marathoner
