MORE ABOUT ME

Welcome to my digital den! Here, I dish out raw, uncut tales and nuggets of wisdom on how to embrace consistency, inner healing, and an unshakable mindset - all in the name of genuine, lasting transformation. And did I mention? I'm pretty much a CrossFit chatterbox!

I'm Athena Perez

hey there!

I have an Instagram channel that I have been cultivating for a little while, and surprisingly my followers are some of those most supportive around. I get some of the nicest comments although now and then I get a real jerk.

Funny story today, though. I did my usual update, and I received a private message from another company that wanted me to be a brand ambassador. Now, I didn’t start any of this for company repping or anything of the sort, but they are fun to get I must admit. Today’s private message was about supplements. *sigh*… I’m not a big fan of supplements for various reasons. I don’t like pills and powders; more so because I would forget to take them.

I explained this to her, and her response was…..“Just take them for a day! You’ll get free PR for your blog, and it will help drive sales of our product”. As I pondered this for a moment, I couldn’t help but bust out laughing because this was the only thing running through my head:

*still laughing*……. *wiping running mascara from under my eyes*.

((laughing)). Ehhh hum….

So. I’ve got that boot camp coming up Thursday. I guess I’ve worked through the anxiety of it all, but I wonder whether I will be able to keep up. It is a funny thing to be nervous about right? I watch too many movies I guess, and Full Metal Jacket was one of them *giggles*. My trainer said it wasn’t like “boot camp, ” but that vision does swirl around up there. See? That’s what happens. When you don’t know what to expect, your brain fills in the blanks. *smirk*.

I’m going to tape my knees and ankles – throw on a smile and show up. Because that’s what life is all about; showing up. Face the things that make you uncomfortable. Who knows? Maybe I will love it.

I'm Athena Perez

Since 2011, I've been on a mission to rewire my own self-limiting beliefs and patterns that were holding me back because I believe an unshakable mindset can be our #1 life hack.


In these parts I not only share my own journey but also lend a hand to others to create a life filled with genuine resilience, purpose, and grit. I'm a big fan of a good cup of joe, chalk, and teaching folks like you how to 'lift the wait'. Let’s get weird. 


so glad you're here
