As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

From to Being in a Funk to Feeling Fabulous

This was painful, having to buy a weekly TTC pass because I lost mine on Friday.
See that path ahead of me, that leads to the "do-not-go" sketchy area of Sherborne.
Having to drop an additional $42.25 for a weekly pass was painful but I'll have to do it again next week, yikes.  This was the start of the funk I fell in today.
...so I slept.
I'm not an emotional eater, I'm a sleeper.  Tried to take a nap and sleep off the things that were on my mind but it didn't really work because I had work and training to tend to.
I showed up for training today later in the evening, after I finally attacked a lot of my things on my long list of things to do.
Truth be told, I went to System purposely late because I knew I was going to run into this big teddy bear.  He's a minister, mentor and all-round awesomely encouraging, beautiful man.  It's always a given that he'll know exactly what to say to me to kick me out of whatever funk I'm in.  So tonight I headed to System late, in search and in need of some pick-me-up love from Mr.T.

I chatted to him before my training and then he came in to check up on me when I was working the bag with my boxing.
Trained tonight with one of my boxing buddies.  
He's so incredibly big and I always get a good giggle how he picks up my sandbag with one hand and hooks it to the ceiling chain when usually it takes two of us to do so.
