Growth Through Seasons

Every year I come back to the desert, and every year, I’m a different version of myself.

It’s become a marker in my life — almost like a timestamp — reminding me not just of where I am, but how far I’ve come.

My Coachella journey started back in 2014.

At the time, I wasn’t leading workouts or building a brand. I was helping behind the scenes, doing admin work while Jordan worked security for the festival.

It was simple.
It was scrappy.
It was the beginning of something I didn’t fully understand yet.

Over the years, that experience evolved.

From working the festival… to attending it… to eventually stepping into a completely new role — leading fitness workouts for the campers.

And that’s where things started to feel really full circle.

Because for the past three years, I haven’t just been showing up to teach.

I’ve been showing up in completely different seasons of my life.

I found out I was pregnant with the twins while I was here.

The following year, I was navigating life with 6-month-old babies — balancing motherhood, lack of sleep, and a completely new identity.

And now this year…

I’m here with 1.5-year-old twins.

Stronger.
Wiser.
More grounded.

But also still growing.

Each of these moments has marked a version of me.

And what’s wild is how easy it can be to overlook that growth when you’re in the middle of it.

We’re so quick to look ahead.

To think about what’s next.
What’s not done yet.
What we still want to achieve.

But when I stop and really reflect, I can see how much has changed.

Not just in what I’ve built — but in who I’ve become.

Motherhood has changed me.

In the way I move.
In the way I think.
In the way I show up for myself and my family.

It’s taught me patience in a way nothing else could.

It’s forced me to slow down, to listen, and to let go of the idea that everything needs to happen quickly.

Because the truth is…

Growth doesn’t happen all at once.

It happens in seasons.

Some seasons feel expansive and exciting.

Others feel slow, challenging, and uncomfortable.

But all of them are necessary.

All of them shape you.

And all of them are worth honoring.

This year feels especially meaningful.

Because in less than a month, I turn 40.

And I’ll be honest — there was a time I thought 40 felt “old.”

But now?

I feel like I’m just getting started.

As a mom.
As an entrepreneur.
As a woman who is still evolving.

There’s a confidence that comes with this stage of life — in my boundaries, my priorities, and what I want for my family.

But at the same time, there’s also this sense of curiosity.

A curiosity about what’s still to come.
What I’ll continue to build.
Who I’m still becoming.

And there’s something really beautiful in that.

In not having it all figured out.

In allowing yourself to grow into each new version of you.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

You don’t need to rush your growth.

You don’t need to compare your timeline.

You don’t need to be anywhere other than where you are right now.

Because this season — whatever it looks like — is part of your story.

And one day, you’ll look back and realize…

It was shaping you in ways you couldn’t see at the time.
