Hi friend!

This newsletter is a new, imperfect work-in-progress that I'm trying as a creative outlet (you can blame Brené Brown's _The Gifts of Imperfection_). I also want to stay connected with my big community that supports Out Fitness, but algorithms keep getting in our way. So bring back the quiet, old-school newsletter. (I've been inspired for years by [Casey Johnson](https://www.shesabeast.co/?ref=out.fitness), whose writing is always a delight in my inbox.)
