REVGYM & FIGHT-U WEEK OF 08.19.24

TRIBE -

It’s great seeing so many of you showing up for yourselves on such a regular basis lately!

Keep it up!

Chip away at your former self.

Leave what you don’t need, what doesn’t serve you , your why, your family behind.

Find your DeepWater and swim to it.

Let go.

Face the trials that are in the deep.

Stay there until you don’t recognize yourself and arise who you’ve always wanted to be.

You can do this tribe.

Keep fighting!!!

JB
