Creating memories with them 🫶🏾

Going through a full circle moment 🥹. A young man today who was 5 years old when I met him asked me help to create a gift basket for his girlfriend. He has been around me and David from our beginnings 2009 y’all!! And has followed our footsteps very closely. He is soooo committed not only in his relationship but in his career and growth. I’m in awe 🫶🏾🥰 I feel honoured that he asked me help and he is going all out!! High quality self care and eternal flowers .

Working in a field where not many people look like me hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced the harsh realities of white privilege, favoritism, and racism.

For years, I struggled to feel proud of being a physiotherapy professional. My knowledge was undervalued, my work was doubted, and too often, I was mistaken for a caregiver simply because of my skin color. It was exhausting.

But now, 12 years after graduating from college, I’ve finally found a job and a team where I feel heard, seen, and valued. I’m surrounded by people who see me—beyond my skin color—and recognize the impact of my work. For the first time, I feel proud to say that my work is truly changing lives.

This moment means so much to me because I know how important representation is. I cherish being in a space where I can grow, and I hope that one day the gates will be wide open for future generations—so my children, and others like them, can excel in their work without the barriers I’ve faced.

Snapback culture? Yeah, it had me all kinds of messed up. Seven days postpartum, I was already stressing about getting my pre-baby body back. But here’s the truth: I could barely walk. I was limping around, struggling with stairs, and spending my days on the couch feeding my baby. My family had to take care of me because I couldn’t take care of myself.

Postpartum recovery looks different for everyone, but for me, those early days were rough. My hips felt like they were splitting, and I could barely hold my own body weight. By six weeks, I was so frustrated. I wanted to work out, do squats, lift weights—anything to feel like myself again. But I was exhausted, barely sleeping, and adjusting to breastfeeding.

I bought a postpartum workout program, but the exercises felt too easy. I didn’t believe they could help. A few months later, I quit and went back to lifting heavy, running 5Ks, and training hard. I thought I was “ready.”

Spoiler alert: I wasn’t. My body started to give out. Eventually, I had to face some tough truths: pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, and a weak pelvic floor. Standing for 8 hours at work was a struggle. I had to start over—with physiotherapy and proper postpartum recovery.

Fast forward to now, almost 4 years postpartum. I’m doing the exercises I should’ve done back then. I’ve learned postpartum recovery isn’t about “snapping back.” It’s about respecting your body, building strength, and healing the right way. 💪🏾✨

If you’re on this journey too, remember: slow progress is still progress. You’ve got this. ❤️

✨ Pregnancy Glow? Not for me. ✨
Pregnancy didn’t come with the glow everyone talks about. Instead, it crushed my self-esteem 😭.

While I was deeply grateful for a healthy pregnancy and baby, I struggled to accept my transformation. Anxiety, depression, and physical pain became part of my daily life.

One of the hardest parts…My skin.
I tried everything to improve it, but nothing worked. Hormonal changes made it almost impossible to manage with topical products alone. Even after giving birth, my skin was still acting up.

I thought acne was something I’d have to just live with. Having no experience with acne before, dealing with it as an adult was overwhelming.

But then I was introduced to something that changed the game: The Green Gut Glow ✨.
Through , I joined a 10-day challenge and decided to give it a shot. And y’all… it was a game changer.

✅ I felt lighter.
✅ I woke up with more energy.
✅ My digestion improved.
✅ My skin started clearing up faster!

That’s when I finally understood what it meant to build health from the inside out 🌱.

This journey hasn’t been easy, but finding something that worked for me gave me hope again. 💚

✨ Re-introducing Myself ✨
It feels like it’s been a decade since I was truly active on social media. Over the course of my postpartum journey, I’ve:
• Lost myself
• Rediscovered myself
• Reinvented myself

I’ve learned that all of these ups and downs are a part of growth 🌱. And let me tell you—growth is painful, it’s scary, but it’s also necessary.

👋 Hi, I’m Farahdja Maria!
• Married to my best friend 💍
• Mom to a wonderful boy 💙
• Nature lovers 🌲 — it’s where we find our peace, joy, and create unforgettable memories.

By nature, I’m an introvert who craves freedom 🕊️. But every day, I challenge myself to grow beyond that. Looking back, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come.

💼 What I Do:
I wear many hats:
• Stretch therapist 🧘🏾‍♀️
• Physiotherapy technologist 👩🏾‍⚕️
• AND I’m working on an exciting new project—stay tuned! 🚀

🌟 A Surprising Turn:
Through postpartum, I met an amazing woman who shares my values. Little did I know, she’d introduce me to something I never thought I’d do: network marketing! 😅

I always thought it wasn’t for me, but here’s what happened:
✨ I found an incredible community of like-minded people.
✨ I started using amazing products that improved my health.
✨ I fell back in love with life after 6 tough years.

Getting my health back felt like a lifetime project, but now I’m finally seeing the light. Arbonne has given me a solid vehicle to chase my life vision 🚗💨, and I couldn’t be more excited.

I’m building something I’ve always craved: a supportive community 💞. Life feels good again, and I’m so happy to be here sharing this journey with you all.

🌟 Excited for what’s next!
Thanks for sticking with me—it’s nice to be back 💕.
