💕AND THIS WAS THE DAY SHE BECAME AN ADULT💕

It finally happened! It’s been such a long time in the making and I finally got a new to me car!!!!

I have no words and still can’t believe it finally happened but so grateful for my family to help support me through this process and I’m very proud of myself for being able to make this purchase and find the car I wanted all by myself!

Definitely still going to have a monthly car payment but happy to be a lot more stress free and at ease when getting into my car from now on!

I really want to name her, but I’m not sure what it is just yet!

I was thinking maybe Daisy? Idek haha if you have a suggestion for a cute name, leave it in the comments down below!

🎵Don’t be sad go get a TATTOO🎵

And that’s exactly what I did 😅

Thank you for letting me get this beautiful design (the center piece with the arms) and thank you to the coolest tattoo artist I know for executing this design 1000 times better than I ever could’ve imagined!

There’s so much behind this piece and as to why I got it but the main thing is that my self love journey is forever growing and is beautiful in all its ups and downs ❤️

🎉1st Monday of 2022 🎉

In past years, this day usually meant going to the gym, make a big grocery trip, and meal prep - all with the intention of dieting, restricting, and ultimately shrinking my body.

I would always tell myself, “THIS IS THE YEAR that I’ll be able to lose all the weight and live my best life, being super SKINNY.”

But in my 10+ years of repeating this cycle every January, and every Monday, I still never learned that diets don’t work and felt like such a failure!

I solely believed that being THIN was going to fix all of my problems.

I solely believed that being THIN was the only way to live my life to the fullest, and if I was still FAT, then I had failed.

The day I looked at life through the lens of TRULY LIVING without thinking about FOOD, when I’m going to EXERCISE, and “HAVING WILLPOWER” around “bad” foods, my world expanded so much!

I was able to think clearly, listen to my body, understand my body, and see all the things I had been missing out on!

In 2022, I want you to begin your journey of reaching your fullest potential! ACTUALLY living life to the fullest and not worrying about your body image, food, and exercise.

Leave a 🙌🏻 if this is resonating with you and if you’ve been wanting food and body freedom!

✨Doors are still open till January 16th to my new group coaching program “Kicking the Bandwagon Goodbye!”

☀️My Personal Top 9 of 2021☀️

Because the 2nd half of my 2021 has been chaotic, full of work, and no rest, I forgot how great the first half of the year was!

I met some of the best people that I will always and forever cherish in my life, I’ve had the opportunity to be creative and find my creative people to collaborate with, and I’ve been able to come back to my main love of dance and more specifically ballroom dancing to start teaching again!

While I’ve been undergoing a lot of stress, anxiety, and many other things recently, I’m glad I got to create this post to remind myself of all the amazing and great s**t I’ve done and accomplished!

Doing some much needed relaxation, reflection, and catching up in LA this weekend, I truly am excited for 2022 because I whole heartedly believe that this year is going to be BIG!

😣Anxiety Around THEME PARKS 😣

I’ve always enjoyed going to theme parks, riding roller coasters, and eating all the good delicious food, but as I’ve grown up in a diet culture centric world, I started to feel so anxious around the whole experience.

😬 I would see other girls my age wearing cute outfits that I envied to wear one day, “once I had their body type”
😣 I would constantly feel out of control around the food choices and felt like I wanted to eat everything in sight
😭I would go home after a fun day and be hit with reality again that I need to cut out X Y and Z foods and exercise twice as much to “make up” for what I had just done

No matter which theme park it was, this was my same cycle of patterns I had FOR YEARS.

This past weekend my boyfriend surprised me with a day trip to Great America, first time since covid happened too.

Not only was it weird to experience a theme park with that many people since the pandemic but also the last time I was there in December 2019 I was still in the thick of my disordered eating lifestyle that I remember starving myself the entire night I was there and didn’t eat at all once I got home.

My thought process when I got home was, “Wow! I did so good! I didn’t eat anything while I was there! I held my willpower together!”

This time around…

✨I listened to my cravings
✨I listened to when I was actually hungry VS eating everything I could because it was my only “cheat day” I was going to have for a very long time
✨My focus throughout the day was actually on enjoying the rides and the experience, not anxious thoughts around food and what my body looked like.

It’s crazy to see how much healing and recovery I’ve done this last year and a half, when I thought I’d NEVER be able to get here in the first place.

If this is resonating with you, and you’re ready to start healing but have no idea where to start, please feel free to reach out and we can start chatting about where to begin!

I just want to take a moment to PAUSE, REFLECT, and BE TRANSPARENT

Things are going very well for me right now and I'm making the most of it while I can, but I also haven't been doing the best at taking care of myself in certain aspects, especially in the ones that I constantly tell my own clients while I'm coaching.

That's why at the end of the day, I also have to coach myself through these things as well.

Constantly battling through anxiety, depression, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, all while clawing my way through diet culture being thrown in our faces daily, it can be tough and challenging.

While it's encouraged to rest and take breaks, you still have to work through these things at some point.

I'm grateful that I've gone through and continue to go through so much work to heal and expand who I am as a person and as a coach.

Life is such a crazy thing, especially during these times right now. I will continue to share my experiences from this present moment, as well as past ones that I know will resonate with you empowered people out there.
