As we commemorate Women's Equality Day, it's a moment of deep reflection and celebration not just for the strides taken towards gender equality, but also for the personal journey I've embarked on as a woman, a female business owner, and a mom to a future woman. It's a day that encapsulates the mission of Jane DO, our values, and our commitment to empowering women, not just through fitness but in every facet of life.

The landscape of wellness and fitness is changing, and with it, the need for more diverse representation. At Jane DO, we believe that empowerment isn't just about one story, one voice, or one face. It's about celebrating the unique differences each person brings to the table.

It's that glitter-dusted, rainbow-splashed, heart-swelling time of the year again—Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 It's when we amp up the volume on love, turn the spotlight on acceptance, and throw one heck of a party for everyone's right to be exactly who they are.

I personally use Pride Month as a sparkling reminder (as if I needed one) to celebrate every shade of the gorgeous spectrum that makes me me. My call to you this year is for you to DO the same! Jane DO is a place where we encourage everyone to show up exactly how and where they are on their fitness journey, so why not do the same for their personal one.

How often have you found yourself wishing for a different path? A more fulfilling career? A chance to be your own boss? A shot at entrepreneurship? It's high time you moved from wishing to DO'ing. May is all about action at Jane DO, and our theme of the month is "Stop Wishing, Start DO'ing."

In our bustling lives, women often find their well-being nudged to the sidelines. In a continued effort to flip the script, Jane DO ushers in the 'Don't Quit Challenge'. This May, we are urging women to reclaim their time, prioritizing their health and fitness amidst the whirlwind of daily responsibilities, challenges, and well...life.

As we find ourselves in National Stress Awareness Month this April, I think it's the perfect time to reflect on my own journey. Like many of you, I've wrestled with stress. When I was a professional dancer, the demands of high-stake performances, rigorous schedules, and constant physical strain defined high-stress living for me.

In the realm of fitness, monotony is often the silent saboteur of progress (not to mention...hellooooo who wants to be bored!) The familiar burnout from repeating the same exercises day in and day out can stifle motivation, limiting the growth of both body and mind. At Jane DO, we beat the boredom with a rich variety of classes; STEP, SCULPT, DANCE, TRAMP, and HIIT, each designed not only to invigorate the body but to stimulate the mind.

As April ushers in the tax season, it naturally shifts our focus to all things financial. It's the perfect moment to delve into future growth, entrepreneurial dreams, and specifically, charting the course towards owning a franchise.

My journey from the stages of New York City to the helm of a trailblazing fitness brand isn’t just my story; it's a testament to what women can do when they dare to dream and DO.
