In My Free Time
Life at home is full and fast-paced—my husband, two teenage sons, and three small dogs keep me on my toes. I make time for Pilates to stay strong and focused and treat every quiet moment as a chance to reset and refocus. Free time is rare, but I use it to stay sharp, maintain perspective, and keep things progressing with purpose. For me, balance isn’t about slowing down—it’s about staying focused, sustaining forward motion, and never losing clarity.
