Structure Isn’t Cruel


Hi! If you don’t already know, my life thrives on structure.


Without it, I couldn’t run my business—however chaotic or unconventional it may look at times. But I run it. I plan, I execute, and I try to focus on what matters most: covering the expenses for my girls and me.


Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s a huge responsibility, and it can feel like a lot. If I didn’t have so many living beings depending on me, my decisions might come easier. But these responsibilities are also my greatest joy, so I wouldn’t trade them for anything.


That said—sometimes I wish I didn’t have twelve sheep, three dogs, a house, and a car... so I could fly home to be with my family when my heart is screaming to.


Right now, structure is what’s holding everything together. It’s the only reason things are functioning even halfway as they should. Most people seem to shy away from routines and predictability. For me, it’s a lifeline.


I might not be breathing all that well, and I might not be making perfect decisions—but structure is helping me keep it together.


Happy structured training!
