Getting older hits different. Injuries that used to heal in a few days now take weeks, and the stuff I used to pull off without thinking—skiing, cliff jumping, pushing limits—feels heavier on my body. I’ve realized I’m not as fast or flexible as I once was, and honestly, that’s been hard to accept. Life changes—career goals take over, buying a home, building a future, and making a living become the new frontier. But that doesn’t mean I’m ready to stop.
These videos are a reminder of who I am and what I love. I might be slowing down, but slowing down doesn’t mean stopping. Movement is everything—whether it's skiing down a mountain, chasing a dream, or just showing up for the life you want. We don’t have to be at 100% all the time, but we do need to keep going. The moment you stand still for too long, that’s when you lose yourself. Keep moving, no matter what—because that’s where life is.
