You grow in self love by choice not by chance 🌱

Story time..

We all have this perception that as we get older we start embracing yourself more fully...

That only happens when you are intentional about it..

When I was vaccinating... I met so many women who were self conscious about their arms... and their bodies... often apologetic when they had to remove their sweater or pull down their sleeve...

... they were also in there 60s, 70s, and 80s ...

That taught me a valuable lesson... self love doesn't just come with age.. it comes with the choices we make..

What are you going to start doing today to get you there?

Give time a chance to heal you and to transform you ❤

I know when I started my own journey I never saw myself changing into who I am today..

Someone who loves more deeply

Someone who has a whole lot more grace for myself and others

Someone who just wants to get better a little bit at a time and encourages others to do the same

Give time a chance ❤

You are worthy just because you are you ❤

Happy Sunday

What thoughts will win?

The ones you give fuel to..

This week has been hard.... waking up early... feeling like a beginner... modifying... a lot of emotions... a lot of discouragement... but I fueled the thoughts of hope and faith in myself...not the ones of criticisms, discouragement, comparison..

Results.. week 4 ✅

Mind your thoughts those are predictors of the week, month, year and life you will have!

26 vs 36

What did I do...

I never gave up...

I didn't matter what the scale told me

It didn't matter how others made comments about me

It didn't matter that I running on little to no sleep with 4 babes..

It didn't matter that I had off days and ate the whole house when I was stressed

It didn't matter how stretched I felt

I knew that this time I would not give up and whatever came at me I was going to work through it..

So don't you give up on you... you are worth every effort ❤

Remember this...

It so easy for you to forget all the progressed that you've made so far..

It's so easy to focus on what you didn't do ... then what you did...

Tonight I just want to remind you that to look at all you're doing...

You are progressing 🥰

Tag a friend that needs to hear this ❤

I want to share this joy with you...

I want you to feel confident

I want you to have a positive relationship with food

I want you to eat whole foods and exercise your body because you love your body

I want you to STOP obsessing about your weight and the scale so you don't find yourself with food anxieties and powerless over a tool that's there to help you..

I want you to stop chasing a crash diet ...and commit to you ..

So that you can you can feel this good after 6 years ... no matter what craziness you are going through...

Just like I do..

I'm looking to work and coach you and work with you on an intimate group with just a few people..

.... comment here and I'll connect with you ❤

You are worth every effort to better your life ❤

My thoughts for you tonight 🌙

Reflect on how you've felt when you focus on the negative...

Did you feel anxious? Stressed? Worried?

What kind of thoughts did it bring up?

How did your day go from that moment on?

Here is the thing.. negative thoughts never make you feel empowered or confident... they take jabs at you... highlighting every perceived missed opportunity, every perceived mistake, every perceived shortcoming...

They shrink you and take away your God given ability to create the most beautiful life for yourself and your family..

Don't allow them to do that to you... don't entertain that thought... know that you have a gift called agency..

...which means you have the power to act.. to choose... to nip them and say NOT today...

..and then to take it a step further and state a positive truth disarming its power against you and reminding yourself of the strength you have within you..

You and I can do this... and we can slowly start creating that life that we are after 🌟

Make sure you save this so you can remind yourself of the power you have!

💥 BOOM SHAKALAKA 💥

You are worth it my sweet friend .. don't forget ❤

Now tell me.. whats one thing that you are doing to make your life better??

There is nothing that brings me more joy then seeing women succeed and feel confident enough to share their journey so openly..

Tia ( ) has been such a blessing and light in my life and the life of our accountability group..

She shows up everyday in there to encourage all of us.. to do water challenges .. to be there when we are struggling.. and just pushes us to be our best..

I want to give her a special shout out.. not only is she such a huge motivator but she has achieved an amazing milestone towards her goals...

She has released 12 lbs and 25 inches in 8 short weeks... and has made leaps and bounds in developing a stronger mindset
