For my fellow Gen Xers.

A carousel of self-love, from me and .life.academy 2 u 😘

January workouts started last week but you can still jump in now! This month’s priority is on squat and push movements, which means we building the 🍑 and the 🍒. Ya know where to find the 🔗

Ok but is 2025 ready for me?????

Happy to report that I have a clean bill of health! 🫡 The week before Thanksgiving, I was rushed to the emergency room for abnormal bleeding, vomiting, and fever. They found ovarian cysts as well as a golfball size cyst on my heart.

The past month I’ve been blessed with an incredible medical team that gave me answers to questions I’ve had for almost a decade now (when symptoms of the pericardial cysts began). And after numerous speciality appointments, I’m finally approved for business as usual!

At this time there’s no need for emergency heart surgery- next November we will do another CT scan and see if the cyst is grown. My heart tells me it’s done growing, that my body is done healing- but we shall see.

I love you all ❤️‍🩹

What a fkin week. Monday I went to the ER due to abnormal bleeding, nausea, and vomiting. Cysts were found on my o***y, along with a golf ball size cyst on my heart…

I’ve been dealing with mild symptoms of the pericardial cyst for years and had no idea what it was. I KNEW something was off, but was never properly diagnosed… ended up giving up on it for a long time.

Anyway, I’ll know more next week on if/when surgery is happening, but I’m here to say TRUST YOUR INTUITION. No one knows your body better than you do. Fight like hell and scream from the rooftop until you find what you’re looking for.

Love you all. Go see your doc❤️

These mom jeans and .life.academy have morphed me into my final M**F form 😏💅🏻

Throwing it back to some of our best costumes! 🎃👻 whoever can guess what the 4th slide means, you got a dirty mind just like me.

That last slide’s costume traumatized a lot of trick or treaters, oops 😅

What are you dressing up as?!

Fitness is meant for self-care not self-loathing ❤️

Self-love isn’t a certain size, it’s a choice you have to make.

When I first set out to lose weight, I had the idea in my head that a smaller me would be a happier, more confident me…

But as I lost weight, I didn’t magically become any happier. In fact, I became so hyper-focused on my body and would constantly pick it apart.

At my lowest weight, 117lbs, I still found myself at war with my body. I struggled to feel like I was enough. I remember looking in the mirror at that weight and thinking my thighs were still too big.

And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Wtf was I gonna do, keep losing weight until I was 97lbs? Was that the magic number?

No. It wasn’t a number on the scale. There was never going to be a certain weight that made me feel like I was enough, like I was desirable.

It was a shift in my mindset that brought me peace. Instead of focusing on what my body lacked, I focused on what it was capable of.

I found a balance between self-improvement and self-acceptance. I pushed myself because it felt good to accomplish something, while knowing it’s not the basis of my worth.

Healthy looks different on every body🫶

I don’t want you to want to look like me, or anyone else you follow. I want you to FEEL like the truest, happiest, and healthiest version of YOU 💕
