Strong Souls

Fit2Serve - a 90 minute fitness fundraiser party September 26th 8am or 10am $25 per spot Benefits Kristen Thomas ... Strong Souls! It’s time for another fit2serve event and this one is so near to my heart. At 29 years old, Kristen Dodson-Thomas was diagnosed with a Grade 3 Astrocytoma, and she had emergency brain surgery to remove the tumor. Determined to fight this cancer, she took on extensive chemotherapy and radiation and was gifted remission for the past 4 years, during which time she and her husband, Duanne, were able to grow their family with another beautiful daughter. Now at age 33, Kristen received the news that her cancerous tumor has returned. On August 11, she underwent surgery, and this time they were unable to remove a portion of the aggressive tumor that has inhibited her motor skills and speech. With very limited health insurance, Kristen and her young family are left with most of the medical costs of her surgery, hospital stay, rehabilitation process, and chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Her husband Duanne has been with her during her stay at the hospital in Pittsburgh, which means lost-wages, as well as travel and child care expenses. SS - lets do what we do best and show up to support this family! Comment below with your shirt size and which time (8am or 10am) you prefer! ((If this date doesn’t work for you but you’d still like to donate to the cause, send me a DM.)) #strongerbodies #strongersouls #fit2serve

CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?! . . . Life is kind of weird lately, right? I mean...if I’m being honest I feel like this year straight up smells like a hot trash dump full of dog crap. Anyone feel me? Maybe you wouldn’t describe it that way but I know so many of you feel the same. Look, maybe it’s just the masks messing with me but I feel like I can see it in your eyes. Y’all - we are TIRED OF IT ALL. I wish I could fix it. I wish I could make things b...etter for everyone. But I don’t know how. . . . One thing I do know - movement helps. A wise woman once said, Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands. So if you’re feeling like you might shoot your husband or you just want to feel a little more happy....come move with us at Strong Souls. . . . A great place to start would be our FREE Power Flow class on Tuesday’s at 4:30pm. Click ‘book now’ in our bio to save your spot! . . #movementmatters #strongerbodies #strongersouls See more

PSA for my SS friends on this Tuesday morning from your self-proclaimed book nerd friend, April. . I’ve decided to start a Strong Souls summer reading series - which just means I’ll share one book a month that I think you should read. Read it during that month or put it on your list to read later or ignore it all together because you’re too cool to read. Whatevs. You do you boo..... . June: YO! This book by my friend @jennielusko NEEDS to be on your summer reading list. T...his is the one I read from after class the past few days. It’s . You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll be inspired. You’ll be challenged. You’ll be changed. . You should probably just buy a few of them because it’s so good you’ll want to give one to every person you know. . If you get it and read it let me know so we can chat about it! Love you long time. Reading rules! April . #strongerbodies #strongersouls See more
