Lately I’ve been waking up at 6am to go to the gym.
That’s not something I ever thought I’d do—much less want to do. But with a new gym opening here in Seattle, I’ve found myself showing up. And that’s taught me something bigger than fitness.
For a long time, I saw things like gym memberships or dog training as costs.
But the truth is, staying stuck was already costing me.
In my case—physically, emotionally, hormonally, financially.
It was time spent recovering from burnout. Money spent trying to “fix” imbalance.
And a quiet drain from living in a cycle that didn’t actually support me.
I know people will say,
“Well, I’m fine without all that.”
Or, “My dog’s not that bad—I think we’re managing.”
And I get it. I’ve been there too.
But “fine” isn’t thriving.
And waiting until something is “bad enough” to finally change it? That’s the most expensive choice of all.
Whether you’re trying to make a change for your body, your mental health, your dog, or your life—it doesn’t have to be perfect.
You just have to start.
Because staying the same? That’s the most expensive thing I’ve ever done.
