Hey sweet friends,
Welcome to the BootyByMich monthly lifestyle newsletter.
Each month I’ll be sharing with you what books I’m reading, recipes I’m cooking, questions I ask myself, my favorite workout of the month, thoughts I’m having, products I like (no promoted ads here!) and more.
This is a full personal BootyByMich inspiration page as a go-to for staying inspired when it comes to fresh ideas to connect with your mind, body, and environment; from my world to yours.
I really like to take the time to reflect on summer, or any seasons when it comes to an end.
It's a busy time with longer days that are filled with a sense of adventure and magic in thick heat and warm evening summer skies.
I believe that in every season we grow a little more, after later nights, travels, saying yes or no to invitations, we learn about yourselves. Heading into fall, the cozy, reflective time of year (my favourite) it's important to check in to notice the impact this past season has had on us, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
I recognize there is deep discomfort in asking these questions and journaling (I feel it), yet these are the times and memories in our lives that make us who we are or help guide us towards who we want to be/who we want to surround of selves with bringing us closer to life we want to create.
This is my first summer being a mother and travelling overseas with Laken.
Vacation days are now structured, more organized with some feeling of predictability yet very unpredictable all at once. Seeing the ocean for the first time since layering on a new piece of identity to myself as a mother was a special moment for me.
Here are a few memories of mine:
-redeye flights with Laken sleeping on me for 7 hours
-Laken meeting the ocean
-daily cold ocean dips with the feeling of my whole being getting cleansed
-workouts on the beach everyday
-papaya and coffee for breakfast!
-weddings at vineyards
-sardines and rice cakes
-dragons flies and peacocks
-running into an old friend in Portugal after 12 years
What are some of your favourite memories?

This may not work for everyone, but this is what I use :)

Slowly starting to make my way back to for videos on BBM!!I've never stopped doing A.S.S Blasts or posture videos - OMG they have saved me during pregnancy.I have been walking a ton, and while Laken naps putting on a quick video to do - I legit only have about 10-20 minutes.
I want to shut my mind, follow along while feeling productive, calm and effective in my workouts. These are two and whatI have tried last week!
Ps- Butters are life saving right now as my body is SO TIGHT from everyday life, postpartum body, lack of sleep etc…

I have been using the BBM platform since 2022, when I was 4 months postpartum. I had unbearable lower back pain, and my cousin recommended that I try the ASS blasts from BBM to start building back my strength. I started with targeted lower body videos for several months and then began exploring more of the website. Fast forward to today: I have consistently followed the weekly schedule for over two years; I never get sick of it, and the variety of movements and new videos keep it from getting boring or predictable. I am continually amazed that despite exercising 5-6 days a week, I still find the workouts challenging!
I also love that I can get a full body workout from the comfort of my own home. You don’t need a ton of space or equipment, and I’ve slowly added new pieces over the years.
At 41 years old, I can confidently say that I have never enjoyed exercising more.
Thank you for creating an unpretentious, endlessly challenging, and consistently enjoyable space for movement.
We want to hear your story! Your motivation, authenticity and experience is worth sharing and I can’t wait to hear how you got started, where you are now, and what you are working towards, your experience with BootyByMich and how it has impacted your life. How long have you been a member for? One week, or over a year? What’s your BBM routine like? Share the vibe of your environment you create for yourself, any rituals you have before movements?!
You have the ability to share your ups and downs with us, and motivate us all. Send me a message to be spotlighted in the future. Pictures of progress can be sent too (I would love to see your progress, but no pressure at all!)
