about living minnaly

Hi friend! Whew, glad to not be talking in third person anymore.

I’m Minna (pronounced Mee-na) Lee, the creator behind this blog. I created this space back in 2014 to be a health resource hub for my clients when I was a full-time trainer and nutrition coach. Since then, the blog (as well as my perspective) has evolved to be all-encompassing of how to elevate all areas of life; because physical health is symbiotic with mental health and overall well-being. Your health should be the thing that enables you to live out your life’s full potential, and I hope that what I share helps empower you to keep evolving and expanding; to chase fullness over happiness, and to build resilience rather than resistance.

The reason my platform is called living minnaly (my full name mashed into an adverb) is because I aim to lead by living; living an authentic life that embraces the beauty of imperfect vulnerability, courageously standing in one's truth, and creating connection. I am human, just like you, and I’m learning by living every day. I hope that my little victories and stumbles can help you draw inspiration and courage from any and all of it.
