My humans dressed as non-humans 🥰

If being wrong tastes this good, I don't want to be right.​​​​​​​​

My boys told me about how a lady named Ruth tried using chocolate chips instead of cocoa powder and created a delicious accident instead of a chocolate cookie.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Ruth, I don't know if this story is true but either way, I love you.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There are a lot of 'happy accidents' in our world, and yet we are still so afraid to make any.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Pressure's off, kids. Let it be easy. Let it be fun. You never know what kinds of miracles you might "accidentally" make when you give yourself permission to.​​​​​​​​

The true mark of personal freedom is authenticity.

And the way to effortless authenticity is by doing the “work.”

The work that leads back to self. The work of un-layering, unraveling, and understanding.

The deeper you get into this work the more freedom you will experience: to live, to love, and to be.

so what if being your authentic self makes others uncomfortable?

Well, the reason they are uncomfortable with you ‘being’ freely is because they are not.

Have compassion and patience and hope that one day they might get uncomfortable enough that the pain of the problem becomes worse than the pain of the solution.

🤟🏼

What does this mean to you?
I'd love your insights.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's what it means to me:
Each of you are capable of and specifically built for amazing things (your music) unique to Y O U.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But many of you keep quiet because of your fear of
criticism,
your lack of traditional knowledge / experience,
failure,
abandonment,
being "exposed"
discovering you are not as special as you think...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the list unfortunately goes on and on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I imagine how many more beautiful, revelatory, life-changing, love-making, soulful, joyful, and GLORIOUS songs we could to dance through life to if less people died with their music still in them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh what a world this would be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Your happiness is powerful. 🤍

my friend reminded me of this yesterday while we were sitting together, sipping yerba mate on her living room floor.

there is a lot of fear of lack sloshing around right now -- especially now -- about a recession, about not having enough, about a market being too 'saturated,' about being too old or too behind, too busy, too unclear etc.

let me remind you that you are never stagnate. you are always moving in one direction or another.
when you give the energy of your time/thoughts/efforts/words to these fears, they gain momentum in your life.

If you are unhappy or unfulfilled, then do something about it. let this feeling of discontent be a gift - a reminder that you deserve more. and then take the steps to gain momentum toward more.

or you can continue to make excuses for yourself and how you just don't have the time or the money or the energy or the support.

continue making those excuses and stay right where you are.
it is always your choice.

but know that there is more waiting for you...
on the other side of fear.

Self love is p o w e r f u l 

When you learn to be unapologetically yourself and
Embrace every emotion
Appreciate every inch
Lean into every strength
Own every weakness
Speak only truth

Every cell in your body will begin to vibrate at a higher frequency.

You will literally heal yourself by loving yourself more.

You will actually multiply your wealth by loving yourself more.

You can peacefully lose weight / gain strength by loving yourself more.

You could effortlessly attract the love of your life by loving yourself more.

How do I know?

Because I’ve done it.

is relative.

A few days ago a group of teenagers drove past my husband and I in a new Land Rover -- we live in an affluent area -- and I said, "I don't have any idea what it is like to grow up rich. I wonder what that is like for them."

He then said, "compared to millions of people in the world, you grew up extremely rich."

Then yesterday morning I walked out of one of my client's homes and just stood in her yard, admiring all of her land, her pool, her casita, and the luxurious feel of it all.

My silent thought was, "if I had this, I would sit out here everyday and soak it up. I'd create so many peaceful moments. We'd have so much space to run and play and be."

Then I took a moment to pretend like it was my home, and all of my chores and tasks were behind me in the house, as they would be if I lived there.

Immediately I understood that it wasn't more luxury that I wanted. Luxury I already have.
It is peace and being that my soul craves.

If I don't experience that now within the parameters of my gorgeous home and the luxurious lifestyle that I have the means to live by now, I don't know why I would with more space and more things.

On the other side of that thought was this one:
Life is a luxury.

I made up my mind in that moment to set up my life + my home to facilitate more joy + laughter, more presence, and more gratitude.

TLDR; I can and I will experience more completely the rich and the luxurious life that I have. Now.

And you can, too.
What are some ways you will create more physical and mental space to FEEL the gift of this luxe life you have been gifted?

Let's share some of our ideas, I'll go first (in comments)

Here is my perfectly curated mirror shot for your IG viewing pleasure.

Swipe to see the reality post, dirty mirror and all!

Just a reminder of the illusion that social media can create.

And it’s not necessarily better than the reality. So silly.

Love your R E A L 🫶

“I hear you. I’m here for you. I love you no matter what. I’m so grateful for all you do.”

Your body is ALWAYS communicating with you, and sometimes it is communicating messages of distress.

Let me ask you something,

If your child or dearest friend came to you and asked you for help, would you respond with a voice of frustration or even disgust?

i’m going to bet that your answer is, absolutely not.

And let me ask you another question, my friend,

Why do you speak with frustration and even discussed when your body is communicating distress?

When you can’t lose the weight,
when your acne is on fire,
when you feel pain in your joints,
when you bloat,
when your energy is low,
when you are recovering from creating and birthing another human…

if you simply started watching your relationship with your body and comparing it to a relationship with a small child, you’ll start to see very quickly how unkind and unsupportive you can be.

Speak kindly. Hold space. Listen. Feel and communicate gratitude.

these are healing practices. And your body deserves your love. She does so much for you.

Prep life vs everyday life.

I’ve hung up my stage heels with gratitude for that season of my life and all that it taught me.

Some things I loved about the bodybuilding lifestyle:
- the community
- the structure
- the PUSH
- the muscles
- the focus
- the growth

I tell people that bodybuilding isn’t for the vain (alone) but for those who are looking for a true push to see what they’re made of.

It’s a massive course in personal development and there’s a lot of joy to be experienced in that lane.

But it’s also the opposite of flexible and can feel pretty isolating.

Not to mention the lack of energy and stamina, the low s*x drive, the quiet social life, the restrictions of time and calories, and the pain in the 🍑 that it is to travel.

Life after bodybuilding looks different for everyone, but my hope is that when people decide to step away that they’ll love and respect their bodies + minds even more than they did before.

i’ve been a bit quiet about my coaching lately

Here’s why:

🌷i’ve been digging into a new venture focused on facilitating human flourishing

✨I’ve been working on my reiki certification to improve my intuition + healing abilities

📚I’ve educating myself on how and where emotions and trauma manifest in the body,

🙏🏼I’ve continued to work on my own healing -- because healers continue healing and teachers continue learning,

🤟🏼and Ive been taking care of my beautiful clients.

I just wanted to say hello.
I am here,
and I’m here to help you HEAL in a WHOLE new way.

Not just look good.
Not just feel good.

But experience true and lasting HEALth and wellness.

I started working as a health + fitness coach because I wanted to help other people reach their goals.
But I’m in a totally different lane now, people.

I don’t want to focus on your goals…

I want to focus on your heart + soul.
I want to teach you about healing foods.
I want to help you incorporate practices that will shift things for you in a big + lasting way.
I want to bring to life that gorgeous energetic being who has been tired, lonely, and unwell for too long.

Life is so damn short. It hurts me to think about how short it is.

And my newfound mission and calling in this life to help heal the people who’s paths grace my own so that you can really LIVE while you’re still alive.

If you are interesting in hearing more I’d love to hear from you.
