Meet Michaela Carlin—

“Optimize. It’s from the Latin word; optimus. It literally means “the best.” This is not in some idealized, unreachable, social media worthy approach, but grounded in the deep desire to thrive. This desire is in our DNA.

Arèté is another Greek word. It means; to live at one’s highest ideal moment to moment. When we live with arete, we feed our bodies well, not to follow the latest food trends, but to fuel ourselves well to have the energy to show up at our best. We move our bodies to be physically strong, not for the perfect bikini shot, but because we know exercises is the #1 fastest ways to rewire our brains, and when we feel physically strong, our minds feel strong.

We focus on our sleep, our daily habits, our patterns of thinking and relating and incrementally move then in the direction of our Truest Nature.”
