We dedicate this new Warmi Project Collection to Women’s History Month and will continue to give 100% of the sales back to the female indigenous artisans. As the WARMI word spreads and sales increase, the Warmis will be able to employ more women, advancing themselves and others to greatness. Siempre Adelante!
It doesn’t take a lot of strength to hold on, it takes a lot of strength to LET GO. Full Stop, read that again. This quote by J.C. Watts is guiding my 2021! Old habits, attitudes that keep us stuck, lack of priorities, overcommitting oneself, not speaking our truth, keeping toxic people around, ingesting too much social media, inability to say no are amongst the examples you have shared with us; the things we keep hanging onto even though we know they truly no longer serve us. What are you planning to LET GO of this 2021? Let’s BEGIN…
Collectively, I think many of us are ready to ring in the New Year and close the 2020 chapter and its significant challenges. But before we flip the page to 2021, let’s take a moment to reflect on this unprecedented year. I headed to the mountains to carve out some solo time to look back on 2020 before looking ahead to 2021. I hope these simple yet powerful tools help you do your own annual reflection. Read on…
The Warmi Project is now on Etsy! With our new launch we would like to share this gift of gratitude with Warmi friends and family.

We are celebrating 5 years since the launch of The WARMI Project! We’ve got the same mission, logo, & brand, just a website refresh as we keep on propelling up our mountain path, breaking trail and barriers learning how women lead worldwide.
We are thrilled to share The Warmi Project’s new line of handwoven bracelets from the heart of the Andes. Each beautiful, handmade bracelet represents the unique colorful and vibrant designs from my second home in Ecuador. 100% of the sales goes directly back to the women in Ecuador which will support them during this time of economic hardship and while they aim to expand their beautiful product across borders. Check out all their amazing work at The Warmi Store y mil gracias!
We shouldn't be afraid to walk alone, to run alone, to wear makeup, to look someone in the eye, to dance or even to climb mountains...
REINAS: Through sport and leadership, we provide you with the tools to empower yourself (and others) to greatness. Wear your crown, own your space…
Little did I know this simple hobby of beading would turn out to be one powerful leadership tool on finding common ground, building cohesive teams, and developing trust and credibility with others. The golden beads that awaited me in this tiny, rural, community would also become the symbol of The Warmi Project many years later…

We use triathlon as a tool to motivate, inspire, and strengthen our leadership skills; ultimately we tap into the best version of ourselves. What we learn on the race course we apply in our personal and professional lives.
To commemorate International Women's Day, I share with you our story on how the power of belief, teamwork and solidarity, propelled a small group of women (WARMIS) up their mountain path, breaking trail, breaking barriers and celebrating women worldwide.
As we take steps to crush our fear, the inner critic is an indicator that we are expanding our comfort zone. That when self-doubt shows up, it’s because we aren’t just sitting back doing the same ole, same ole, if anything that voice gets stronger as we are trying something new or that you long to do: new personal goals, new career, new relationships, any big transition, parenting, racing an Ironman!
Sinchi smiles through his eyes and when in contact with other people, his smiling eyes are contagious and lights others up.
I share with you how some of the simplest techniques that we may take for granted could turn out to be our greatest contributions...
Lights out. I toss and turn, thinking how it has taken a village to get me to the start line. I have had great support from family, friends, work colleagues, coach Katie, my incredible husband, Daniel, the girls from my cycling team, all the friends and long training rides; yup, it takes a village to get me to tomorrow' start line,. But that village won't get me to the finish, it will take ‘just me’ to cross that finish line- fight.
The ‘fear of missing out’ or FOMO is a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent. Social media posts around adventure, travel, dreams coming true, goals being crushed; our FOMO can outweigh enjoying the simple victory of being exactly where we are in the moment. Read on to learn how I lived in a constant state of FOMO until I met ten little girls who taught me about YOLO: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.
Many people who join the Peace Corps think they will change the world and find out that the world is there to change them even more. Staying open to letting the world change us even as we try to do good, is a powerful and universally important message. In general, I think we all had or have a vision for her/his life that doesn't exactly pan out. Even if we come close to the mark of who we thought we'd be, life throws us curve balls. It felt like the girls and women I worked with understood this already.
I had the opportunity to be at the start/finish line of stage 3 of the US Pro Challenge women's race in Golden, Colorado a couple of weeks ago. It was exhilirating to see the women's criterium race and the intensity and speed that each additional lap brought. Coryn Rivera, an American racing cyclist who competes for the UnitedHealthcare Women’s team sprinted to the final stage win as the incredible Kristin Armstrong took the overall in the first Women's USA Pro Challenge. As I watched Coryn cross the finish line I was in awe of her strength, confidence, and courage crossing that finish line.
I trek the long dirt-winding road gasping for air at 10,000 feet elevation. This road, located in the northern lush green Andes Mountains of Ecuador, leads to the rural school where I am assigned to work as a Peace Corps Volunteer for the next two years of my life. As I gasp for a breath, I go into deep thought about what is waiting for me at the end of this path and I repeat to myself, remember why you started. Although I think I am ready to take the world by storm I will soon find out that the universe has other plans for me…
