The Stories I’ve Been Holding

I’ve carried these stories quietly for some time.

Not because I was hiding them—
but because I didn’t know where they belonged.

There are some things you just can’t fit into a social media caption.
They’re too layered. Too sacred. Too real.
And maybe... not loud or shiny enough to compete with everything else online.

That’s why I created this space.
Untouched Becoming isn’t for performance or perfection.
It’s for truth.

Here, I’ll be sharing stories about healing.
About recovery—mental, physical, emotional.
About chronic pain that’s not always visible, and strength that isn’t always loud.

I’ll be writing about RF2, and the work we do that has changed my life—bringing CrossFit, community, and personal development inside the walls of prison and back out into the world.

I’ll write about the CrossFit Games, and the stories that unfold beyond the competition floor—stories of resilience, redemption, and the power of being seen.

And I’ll share pieces of myself too.
The quiet parts. The strong parts. The becoming.

This blog isn’t about having it all figured out.
It’s about holding space—for the stories that don’t get told, and for the people who are still in the process of becoming.

I’m writing now because I finally have a space big enough for it.
Not a grid post. Not a story that disappears in 24 hours.
A place where it can live. And breathe. And maybe reach someone who needs it.

Thank you for being here.
If something I share makes you feel a little more understood—you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

We’re becoming, together.
