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.

Time Juggling... Monday, May 16

I miss the days of not so long ago when I would lie on the floor and ponder ways to distract myself and keep myself busy despite the completely empty schedule I sported.

Now my days consist of sitting on the floor but with kids constantly sitting on me, getting my hands dirty in one massive sandbox, chasing kids on a jungle gym, and learning how to cut and paste all over again.

I get to wear training clothes and runners to work, which means I'm super comfy, but working at a daycare is by far so much more demanding of me than when I worked as a professor at Dankook. Working at Dankook is like child's play to me now.

Now that I'm juggling numerous jobs I come home excausted but having to find a second or third wind to continue the go-go-go momentum of my day so that I can go to boxing or go running. I only go running on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends now but I still go boxing 5 days a week. It's hard though and training, well I love it but it's not exactly like I'm do yoga. It's grueling, it's draining, and it leaves me super sweaty and cursing my own passion for the sport. I'll never give up my boxing, it's just too big of a part of me.


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What are you juggling?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
