Hi, I’m Terra—mid-forties, caffeine enthusiast, and former corporate hamster wheel champion. For over 23 years, I lived the grind, juggling long work hours like a pro multitasker and spending the last five years practically glued to a computer chair. My daily step count? Let’s just say a sloth might be my fitness role model.
When I’m not typing like my life depends on it, I pour every ounce of energy into raising three amazing kids—my personal chaos coordinators. Life feels like a constant whirlwind of “Mom, can you…?” and “Terra, we need this ASAP.” Somewhere in the chaos of being everything to everyone, I lose sight of prioritizing myself.
The warning signs speak loud and clear: my blood pressure climbs, my eyesight looks as if I am seeing through a foggy windshield, my body aches like I’m 80 years old, and my energy barely gets me through the day. The mirror doesn’t hold back, either. The athletic teen I once was? She’s gone. In her place stands a stressed-out, overworked mom wondering how I got here. I know it’s time to put down the wine glass—before it earns its own spot in my family photos—and start turning things around.
One day, it hits me—like a hangover after bottom-shelf wine—that life is too short to shuffle through it like a zombie auditioning for a horror movie. I need a real change. Not a “cut your bangs at midnight and regret it immediately” kind of change, but an honest-to-goodness reset. So, after 23 years of climbing the corporate ladder and earning six figures, I take a voluntary separation, say goodbye to my computer chair, and hit the “refresh” button on my life.
That’s how Reset to Fit is born—my little corner of the internet where I share the good, the bad, and the hilariously awkward moments of rediscovering health, wellness, and the joy of simply living. This blog isn’t just about holding myself accountable (though it helps)—it’s about cheering you on, too.
Whether you’re here for tips, inspiration, or just to laugh at my expense, I’m so glad you stopped by. Let’s hit that reset button together and show the world that midlife is just halftime. Game on!
