Sometimes the best compliments are the ones that are the most surprising and specific.
We got just one of those unexpected compliments while we were chatting with Amy Cochrane, founder of Momentum Jewelry.
She said,
"I'm so grateful you're in my life loaf of bread."
Now if that's confusing— if you're wondering what multigrain or brioche has to do with anything—check out this vintage Sesame Street segment, or just scroll down for a quick explainer.
A life loaf of bread is a (delicious) metaphor for the people and experiences that make up our lives.
Each of us has a unique combination of ingredients that come together to form our experiences and our communities.
We like to think that the more people and ideas and opportunities we bring into our life loaf, the more interesting, delicious, and unique it becomes.
This is where the metaphor starts to break down because with actual bread you can't just keep adding ingredients ... but we know that the more we add to our life loaf, the richer and deeper our flavors become. That's why we're always looking to learn, grow, and expand—to have the most interesting, and meaningful, life loaf possible!
Speaking of people who are part of our life loaf of bread, we're collabing with Momentum and Skirt Sports—two brands that have long been part of our loaf—on an event later this month.
Our very own community members De @faithfueledmom, Lex @flecksoflex, and Rebekah @rok_yoga, will be teaching classes as part of their virtual beYOUtiful Summit.

And most importantly, thank YOU for being part of our life loaf of bread.
We're so grateful for you.

p.s. A great way to spice up your loaf is to step out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself, and connect with new people as a result. Our 2022 HIIT & Flow Teacher Training is just that kind of opportunity. Click here to learn more—and before you ask, NO, you don't have to want to teach, and YES, you are strong enough. 🤗
