We've all been there. Some of us are there right now. Others don't want to admit how truly easy is it is to slip into a rhythm of surface only living that results in a lack of meaningful relationships. 😞
It breaks my heart when I hear stories of women who don't have close friends who they know and who know them. 💖 To be known is one of our deepest needs that God placed inside of every woman.
Sometimes women are isolated because of circumstances. You can find yourself disconnected whether living out in the country or in the big city. You can feel alone at home all day with little babies or living in a digital world with no meaningful time around a table with friends.
When you find yourself disconnected it affects your entire life in a negative way.
I believe these two statements to be 100% true:
Surface only living means you have no one who needs your unique gifting in their life and you don't benefit from the gifts of others.
I acknowledge that I have been extremely blessed by the women in around me over the years. It isn't something that has just happened to me though. Having friendships that are mutually meaningful requires effort, time, and usually a shared purpose or experience.
So what would I suggest? 👏 Go after your people (thanks Jennie Allen), which usually means you take the first step. Whether it's a neighborhood walk with strollers, an intentional monthly lunch to talk with a friend, or weekly workout group to push each other, I hope you will take the first step towards pursuing authentic friendships.
👯♀️ If you've ever wanted to have your own "Tribe" where you can push play together, I've made a guide for you. Over the years I've heard stories of women working out in garages, school classrooms, neighborhood pool houses, back porches, and living rooms.
If you ever decide to do this, or you already are using B•TRIBAL•FIT as a means to get together with other women, will you please let me know! Reply back to this email, tag me on social media, or send me a DM. I would love to hear, help and celebrate YOU!

Life's High's and Low's Hi Reader, I’ve been reflecting a lot lately—and if I’m honest, there’s been a quiet heaviness I’ve been carrying. April marks six years since I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: setting a boundary with my dad, who raised me in a home where health and control often walked a fine line. While I’m deeply thankful for the way it shaped my passion for fitness, this month always stirs up a complicated mix of grief, strength, and growth. Add to that… My kids are...
