Whenever I begin to forget how to be - I look at this little light beam. Who doesn’t compare himself to others. Who doesn’t care about rules or protocol. Who doesn’t feel badly about laying around and watching shows on repeat. Who eats whatever the fuck he wants and always knows when he’s hungry or not. Who freely loves on me and then sets a firm ass boundary when he wants his space. I look at him and remember that we were always meant to be free. We were always designed for our own brilliance. We were always perfect. We started that way. . . Every day I see more clearly that my job is simply to remind all my clients In body, mind, and spirit of who they’ve always been - 100% Perfect in every way. 🙏🏻✨

Last night was a HOT mess. My husband woke up at 3 am with his hiatal hernia on fire. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s an extremely painful hernia that can be felt mid abdomen just below the sternum. This can be formed due to improper breath holding during weight lifting which is how he developed it years ago. Every once in a while it flares and it’s painful AF and leaves him feeling breathless. The go to trick for these (I learned the first episode) is quickly drinking 8 oz of water to see if it’ll “flip” the hernia and release the pressure. That did not work. So at 3 am your girl was doing fascial release work on his abdomen literally with my eyes closed, in the dark which successfully released the pressure and allowed him to go to sleep - massage is literally life saving. . . Then my toddler woke up coughing violently at about the same time which kept me awake for another hour. By the time 5 am came around I did NOT want to get up and do shit. But #goals. . . So, I came downstairs, turned the heat on in the house (hello 39 degrees 👀), slammed down preworkout, and then sat in 20 minutes of meditation while it activated and THEN worked out. Went down on my weights, did not feel fast or agile at all, but it got done. . . No one ever promised you wouldn’t have to toughen up. All we ever said is it would be worth it. And it is. Right now I’m grateful I did my morning routine and I’m ready for my day. I also feel proud of the fact that I can roll with life the way I can and still show up for me. Yesterday was tough, last night was tough, but I am tougher. And as long as I have breath in me, I will show up to the life I WANT - no excuses. 💪🏽✨

Both vegan Oreo cake and hot chocolate have been had today. True story. Apparently, my emotional eating needs a “death” upgrade. Previously, I would feel pretty awful about these choices and judge myself, but not today. Today I felt all my feelings AND chose to eat those things. Today, I sat with my loss AND ate those things. And yes, I know I was looking for comfort. But, it also worked. I did feel comforted. And now I don’t feel like I need to continue to eat them. My head is throbbing. My chest feels tight. And I am grateful for simple comforts that help me even if leaning into them is not really ideal. I’m also grateful for the awareness I have now. Awareness that keeps me from staying in patterns and allows me to move through them. Awareness that came from surrounding myself with like minded souls all wanting to be better for themselves and their loved ones. So yes both cake and hot chocolate have been had, but also much self awareness and love has been grown and I’m okay with all that. 💓✨

This morning’s shake included fresh strawberries, banana, spinach and 1 scoop of my favorite vegan chocolate whole food supplement. Absolutely perfect. . . Bittersweet feelings inside me as I sit with the passing of my stepdad, a sweet, hard working, hilarious man who made my mom so happy and was always on my side. I deeply loved him and he will be missed forever. Thankful he is no longer in pain and on the other side. Until we meet again, Cuco. We love you and miss you. Be well. 🙏🏻💓

During the panel time at the event I attended today for fitness coaches, one of the coaches answering was asked what the “secret” was to really growing a healthy business and having a thriving community of clients that are engaged and active. Her response was EVERYTHING. . . “This isn’t really sexy and I know that you probably want like a technique or a formula or whatever, but it really comes down to energy. What is your intention? What are you putting out there? What vibe are you setting?” *mic fucking drop* I clapped so loud I looked like a solid fool in a room full of coaches who clearly had no idea the power of what she had JUST said. . . I did tho. I knew EXACTLY what she meant and it was the secret to my success, too. Everything is energy - you, me, this reality, this planet, this galaxy, all of it. Before we speak ANY language, we speak energy. You wanna know how I keep winning? Energy. You wanna know how you can turn YOUR life around? Energy. Don’t have a fucking clue what I’m talking about? Message me. ✌🏽✨

Today was experiment day 😂 - I decided I was way overdue for a nail appointment, then decided to try #sns on my hands since I’ve never had them done. At first I was NOT digging it. First of all, that shit takes like hours. Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets impatient waiting that long for any service. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ BUT - now I kinda love it! Feels so sturdy and I’m really looking forward to it lasting me longer than 5 Minutes. Do you use SNS? What do you like about it?
