I’m inviting you to join me for the Move For You Challenge. This May, it’s all about showing up for yourself—just 10 minutes at a time.
For 30 days, we’re committing to 10 minutes of movement each day. Walk, stretch, dance, or simply take a moment to breathe. This isn’t about pushing yourself or being perfect. It’s about reminding yourself that you’re worth showing up for. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to provide 555 hours of mental health care through TWLOHA's Peer Support Groups and Treatment & Recovery Scholarship Program.
Start wherever you are. Walk the block, stretch it out, clean your room, take the stairs instead, or dance like nobody’s watching. Take a moment for yourself—and remember there are people out there moving through this right alongside you.
Turn it up a little. Go for a jog, bike ride, or quick workout. Move at your own pace, find your rhythm, or move like you’re in the crowd at your favorite band and the intro just dropped—and know you’re part of a bigger community showing up each day.
Go all in. Take a class, lift weights, run a mile, or hit the stairs. Move like you’re sprinting to the barricade—heart racing, no holding back, fully in it, like nothing else matters and you’re giving it everything you’ve got.
10 minutes a day. That’s all it takes to be part of something meaningful. Join the fundraiser, Move For You, and make an impact for others. This is your moment to show up—for yourself and eachother.

10 Minutes for Hope: Move with Me
Hope is defiant. Hope is with you even in the darkest of moments. And in the moments where hope feels like it's not quite enough, help can be found.
Help can be the difference between hopelessness and change. It offers support and guidance, helping someone believe that better days are ahead and healing is possible.
I grew up in the “thin is in” era of the late 90s and early 2000s, and being heavier during that time was brutal. I also grew up in a religious environment where, especially as a woman, extra weight was considered a sin. I was taught my body wasn’t really mine. It was supposed to be for my future husband, for other people’s opinions, for fitting into a standard I could never seem to reach.
After losing 90 pounds, I thought maybe confidence would finally show up, but instead I fell into an eating disorder and still hated what I saw in the mirror. I realized changing my body didn’t fix the way I thought about myself.
Fitness became the thing that helped me heal that relationship. It stopped being about punishment and started being about seeing what my body was capable of. Movement became play. Strength became freedom. Joy replaced constant self-criticism. I finally learned that MY BODY IS MINE.
Now I’m watching the “skinny trend” come back and seeing young girls hold themselves to the same impossible standards I did, and I know the irreparable damage that does to mental health. NOT HERE.
This is about reclaiming our bodies, moving for ourselves, and becoming the best version of ourselves for us. Progress and play will always be greater than perfection.
That’s why I’m proud to work with To Write Love on Her Arms for Mental Health Awareness Month. So join me, and MOVE FOR YOU.
To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and invest directly into treatment and recovery.
