Sometimes I ask myself how I’m juggling all this.

Why am I juggling all this?

Is it worth it?

Juggling my stunt work, Method coaching, and the kids, there isn’t much of the day left. After having our two girls, I kept the stunts up but was disappointed that taking the break meant I wasn’t getting the doubling jobs I used to. I know everything is about balance, but I had to learn that the hard way. I went back to stunts too soon after Riley was born and I jumped off a moving truck and fractured both of my ankles. Obviously, I couldn’t walk and had to take time off. At the time, Jamie and I were starting to get Method going and the injury just made more work for both of us. It was a risk I didn’t need to take and it landed me farther behind on so many levels. Since then, I’ve learned to turn some days down if it makes our family life too crazy. Or if it means I miss too much of the girls’ routines. I really love being a mom, and family is the most important thing to me. I also really love being a part of the Method community that Jamie and I have created. Jamie inspires me with his dedication to wanting to make a difference in peoples’ health. Coaching inspires me because everyone has a story and it’s only really when you work hard and dig a little deeper, that a piece of that story comes out. We feel better than when we started.

I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be in my life. So much of how I got to where I am today came from a certain mind set I have. That little voice that guides me what to do and the person I want to be. To push harder, to not give up, that everything will work out, to be kind, to dig deep, to take the risk or to hold something back. All of those things got me here, with this life I’m so proud of. Something in my mind, the way I process decisions, hard times, good times, friendships, marriage, family, sport, stunts... it’s all handled in the same way. With commitment, respect, and...with grace.

Now, when I think of balance with work and life, it has to include all those things that are important to me.

Family, Method, Stunts.

They all keep me grounded and inspired to keep doing what I’m doing.

Just Keep Going
