Hi!! I'm a photographer, artist, mother, and ever hopeful that I will one day make it to an IRL class with Marnie and the fam!

Lizamary here is my framed Dolly print! We’ve had so much inspiration from her lately... I got this New Yorker issue in the mail, then promptly framed and hung it up in our reading corner (this weird little nook thing in our house that we haven’t been sure what to do with). I want my girls to be inspired, encouraged, and enthusiastic about their goals. So why not have some framed Dolly where they READ? So perfect 🙌🏻

Dolly was everything. I’m an OG north Alabamian, and while I struggled to feel connected to Southern culture, and ultimately moved away about 10 years ago to find my way, Dolly is the connector. Her music, her story, her kindness was the porch light home I never had. I didn’t realize how much she meant to me until her passing. So, I just really appreciate all the joy from this community in celebrating her. It’s amazing that a person can continue bringing so much goodness, even after they leave us. That’s legacy.

Anyway, this is just a massive PDA with gratitude for Dolly tributes and all the current m/body curriculum. It’s meeting me exactly where I need it! Please have a wonderful weekend fam 💗

Hi friends.. I completed M/<45 FULL BODY SWEAT /124 just now, where the message was simply, "you are enough," and a thought hit me. After an interesting work meeting/opportunity I had this morning, this specific workout, and the ongoing example I hope to set as a parent (of girls specifically), a simple question popped in my head- one I'm sure Marnie has said multiple times, in multiple places. A reminder is always nice, especially when it fits the monthly theme perfectly. So,  what is possible when you realize you are enough? Love you all and wish you the best day 🫶

Happy Halloween to any of the fam who celebrates 👻🎃! As per Marnie’s request here’s some costume content 🎉My youngest kiddo has a great sense of humor and loves a funny costume. She’s been a piece of toast, a traffic cone, and kale (yes, kale). This year, she’s going as a bush 😂

First off, loving seeing everyone’s emoji choices. I’m a horse girl at heart, and looked at this challenge as a bit of a 21 day sprint, so naturally 🐎

Secondly, the last workout of the challenge was an absolute doozy. Forgot how challenging that sweat 45 was 😅

Most importantly, hoping all who participated had a great 21 days, whatever it looked like!

Five years! Still committed, still obsessed and always grateful! Congrats to my other two Marniversary pals, Britt & Rebecca. I hope your half a decade with Marnie has been just as lovely 🥰

Hi Fam!! Given we may have some new curriculum headed our way, and because periodically I've seen related questions asked, I thought it might be nice to share some equipment I use that I love. First up is this mat: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092XMWXK7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1&psc=1 I have an enthusiastic and aggressive tailbone which has always given me grief in any seated ab work, or really any time I sit period, even when I was a kid. This mat makes sit ups and boat pose possible, whereas before, I had major pain in these positions and couldn't do them because they caused my tailbone to break through the skin (sorry if this is TMI and intense, just hoping it's helpful). It does slip around, and it is a bit fragile, but I use it under my normal Manduka mat for cushion and it's fabulous.
Secondly, after almost five years of M/BODY I decided to buy a barre. I bought this freestanding one, per a recommendation from the fam: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WVC5TF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 So far, I'm super happy with the quality. It's light, but does stay put on a concrete floor, and I've been able to successfully fairy jump without it slipping out from under me. I'm a 5'7, solid woman 🤣 and it handles my body weight like it's nothing.
And, lastly--if you're in the market for inexpensive hand weights, I've been super happy with my All Motion ones from Target. The quality for price can't be beat.
Anyone else have any tips or products they love for this work?
