A few days back, I posted on the crippling effects of Fear.  How it has the potential to take over your life and perceptions.  Fear will make you unnecessarily question others – and even worse, yourself. On the flip side of Fear sits Confidence.  The understanding that you CAN handle...

It’s not that hard, if you don’t spend that much energy worrying about it and just do it. — Benzo (That was a total paraphrase – the best I could do from memory.  Sorry if I butchered that Benzo!) Fear. It’s gripping, powerful, and paralyzing.  And unless...

I saw here for a while trying to think of an appropriate title for this post that didn’t bring gender into  the mix – but I’m just not going to waste any more of my life trying.  Simply put this has nothing to do with gender – and everything to do with personal...

As part of my content fellowship, I’ve reached out to many boxes and asked if I had permission to repost any mind-numbingly awesome content they might post – with proper attributions and credit of course.  One of our content homies is CrossFit Invictus – you might have seen...
