This was a pivotal milestone along my own personal healing journey that I would like to share with you.

8 years ago, I made a decision that would change my life forever. I enrolled my 8 year old son in Kenpo Karate at Quest Academy of Martial Arts Colorado and was introduced to their women's self defense course.

After attending a couple of these workshops, I was invited to check out Kamishin Ryu Jujitsu and quickly found myself in love with it. I wanted to learn more and my instructor, offered me what I thought was extra practice only to learn she was introducing me to Alemany Kenpo. I joked she sucked me into it, but I truly did enjoy it and got hooked. 🤙

The confidence, empowerment and strength I gained from each class helped me to overcome my fears and take control of my life.

I won't sugarcoat it-the road wasn't easy. There were tears, frustrations and many times I wanted to give up and quit. But the healing, growth and transformation I was receiving kept me coming back every week.

In September 2020, I earned my Shodan in Jujitsu and last Saturday, May 6th, I completed and passed the long and intense test to earn my Shodan in Kenpo. 🥋

Every muscle in my body ached after but it was one of those hurt so good feelings. Those sore muscles weren't from the adrenaline of a long night of arguing and being abused...it was because I took my power back and said I will NEVER be anyone's fu***ng victim again 💜💜💜

There are not enough words to say how extremely grateful I am to have these amazing souls in my life and so proud to have their love and support along the way 🤙

While I started my training to learn how to defend myself against my ex-husband and other predators...to protect myself and my family; I now train because it's a part of my life, a part of who I am.

It's a necessary part of my healing journey and it keeps me focused on my continued growth in confidence and strength for my mind, body and soul.

I'm sharing my story with you today in hopes that it will inspire and empower you to take control of your life and reclaim your power. It's never too late to start your healing journey.

You are capable of so much more than you think. 💜

DM me today and let me know how I can support you along your individual healing journey 💖

I wanted to share with you some thoughts on finding courage through embracing vulnerability.

It is not always easy to be vulnerable, but I believe it is essential to living a fulfilling life.

Finding Courage Through Embracing Vulnerability - https://mailchi.mp/myempowertees/finding-courage-through-embracing-vulnerability

To find courage and embrace vulnerability, it is important to take small steps. 👣

Embracing vulnerability can be challenging, and it's okay to start small and work your way up to bigger challenges.

Try these small steps towards embracing vulnerability:
• Practice saying "no" to something that makes you uncomfortable
• Share your feelings with a trusted friend or family member
• Take up a new hobby or try something outside of your comfort zone
• Volunteer or get involved in a new community
• Practice self-care and self-compassion

Vulnerability does require courage, and it's normal to feel scared or unsure. When you take small steps towards embracing vulnerability, you build confidence and resilience that can help you face bigger challenges with courage and strength. 💜

One of the most powerful things you can do is cultivate gratitude. 🙏

When you focus on the things you're grateful for, you create a positive mindset and build resilience that can help you face challenges with courage and strength.

Ways you can cultivate gratitude:
• Start a gratitude journal and write down things you're thankful for each day
• Practice mindfulness and focus on the present moment
• Express gratitude to others and show appreciation for the people in your life
• Take time to appreciate the small things in life, like a beautiful sunset or a warm cup of tea
• Volunteer or give back to others, which can cultivate a sense of purpose and gratitude

Remember, vulnerability requires courage, and it's okay to feel scared or unsure. But when you cultivate gratitude and focus on the positive things in your life, you build resilience and strength that can help you face challenges with courage and grace. 💜

One of the most powerful things you can do is embrace imperfection!

It's okay to make mistakes, to be imperfect, and to show up as your authentic self.

• Practice self-compassion and kindness
• Celebrate your successes, no matter how small
• Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them
• Focus on progress, not perfection
• Surround yourself with people who accept and love you for who you are

Vulnerability requires courage, and it's okay to feel scared or unsure. But when you embrace imperfection and show up as your true self, you create deeper, more meaningful connections with others and build a stronger sense of self. 💜

If you're looking to find courage through setting boundaries, one of the most powerful things you can do is embrace vulnerability. 💜

This means being willing to show up authentically, share your true feelings and needs, and trust that others will honor and respect your boundaries.

Here are some ways you can embrace vulnerability and build trust:
• Share your feelings and needs with trusted friends and family members
• Practice active listening and empathy when others share with you
• Be willing to admit when you're wrong or need help
• Set boundaries and communicate them clearly and assertively
• Learn to recognize and manage your own emotions

Vulnerability can be scary, but it's also incredibly brave.

When you trust yourself and others enough to be authentic and honest, you build deeper, more meaningful relationships and create a more fulfilling life. 💜

Are you ready to find the courage to embrace vulnerability?

Remember, vulnerability is not weakness, it's strength.💪

It takes courage to show up and be seen, even when we're afraid of being judged or rejected.

One way to cultivate this courage is through practicing self-compassion. When we're kind and understanding towards ourselves, we're better able to embrace our imperfections and show up authentically in the world.

Take a deep breath, remind yourself that it's okay to be imperfect, and treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would offer to a dear friend.

When we embrace vulnerability and practice self-compassion, we create space for growth, connection, and meaningful experiences.

Find the courage to be vulnerable and embrace all that life has to offer! 💜

I wanted to share some insights on how to find courage by setting healthy boundaries.

We often find ourselves in situations where we compromise our values, neglect our well-being, and feel drained because we fail to assert ourselves. This can lead to anxiety, stress, and even depression.

If you're struggling to find the courage to set boundaries, one thing that can really help is practicing self-care. 💜

When you take care of yourself, you build up your resilience and inner strength, which can make it easier to stand up for yourself and communicate your needs.

Here are some self-care practices that can help you find courage through setting boundaries:

When you honor your own needs and limits, you show yourself love and respect.

Use assertive communication. This means being clear and direct about your needs and boundaries, while still being respectful of others.

Here are some tips for communicating assertively:
• Use "I" statements to express your feelings and needs
• Be clear and specific about what you're asking for

You're not alone, and with practice, you can learn to set boundaries with confidence and clarity. 💜

I wanted to share some tips on finding courage through setting boundaries.

One of the most important things you can do is identify your limits and communicate them clearly. 🗣️

It can be scary to say no or speak up when something doesn't feel right, but setting boundaries is crucial for your own well-being and happiness.

Some of the ways you can identify your limits include paying attention to how you feel physically and emotionally, noticing when you're feeling drained or overwhelmed, and reflecting on what you're willing and unwilling to tolerate in your relationships and interactions with others.

Setting boundaries isn't selfish or unkind - it's taking care of yourself and communicating your needs clearly.

If you're struggling with this, try using hashtags like to connect with others who are going through similar experiences.

You're not alone, and you deserve to feel respected and valued in all your interactions. 💜

Setting boundaries is an important part of self-care and self-respect, but it can be hard to find the courage to do so. 💜

One thing that's helped me is defining my values and using them as a guide for my boundaries.

For example, honesty is one of my core values, So I will set a boundary with someone who consistently lies to me. It can be scary to confront them and say "this behavior is not okay," but knowing that I'm standing up for something I believe in gives me the courage to do so.

If you're struggling to set boundaries, try taking some time to think about what matters most to you.

Once you have a clear idea of your values, it becomes easier to say no to things that don't align with them.

And remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness - don't be afraid to stand up for yourself! 💜
