Just a quick tip, but when it comes to managing stress, we ALL have to work on self regulation. We ALL need tools we can grab to help us through anxiety and stress. (In 1:1 sessions we learn allll those good things. )

➡️But what you can do NOW to keep cortisol levels from going whacky is STOP working out in a fasted state. This stresses out your body BIG TIME!! The ONLY fasted type of workout that is on from time to time is 20-30 min of cardio keeping your heart rate at that fat burning pace. Then eat right after. NOT a fasted intense HIIT and hills workout. That requires fuel for the body.
Feed and nourish your body. Get your macros on point. Know how much fat you need, how many carbs you need, how much protein you need EACH DAY to sustain your life style and have HAPPY HORMONES!!!! I love happy hormones. Don’t you????? •
What’s your tip to manage stress?⬇️⬇️⬇️ share below!! (Sorry, boozing doesn’t count here…bc booze is a depressant. Even tho that glass of wine can HELP 😅)

Incase you don’t know what your pelvic floor muscles are, here’s a visual:) These muscles connect to your tailbone (THAT’S THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE) which is why it’s so essential to know how to activate these muscles to support your spine and low back.
When teamed up with other deep core muscles, your body’s shock system is activated! Creating more stability and empowerment from the inside out!

Best time ever with these rascals.

Family reunion 2020! Love these ladies and so grateful to call them family! we missed you! we missed you too! we totally missed you toooo!

Needing to be skinny was essential to feed my belief that “being small is necessary to be accepted, loved, approved.” And not just physically small. I had to shrink my energy too. I had to suppress my animated self-expression, I had to not be loud or opinionated, I had to not take up room- physically and energetically. If I did, I believed I’d be shamed, unaccepted, unloved. My identity was “Small=love.” I was afraid I’d be made fun of, or the “chubby red head nobody actually wanted to be around, she’s so loud and annoying and ugly”.

My emotional needs were not met as a child. I learned to fill my need for love and validation through really dysfunctional ways. Healing the dysfunction has been a gift. To feel free, light, joy, is a gift.

Body dysmorphia is a real thing. Hating our body is a real thing. Hoarding trauma in our body is a real thing. Our body is needing healing.

Are you ready to heal too? DM or find my link in bio and book a free consult. My 1:1 openings are opening end of September!

I might be the laziest fitness instructor (with actual body fat) you’ve ever known.

But hang on... why do we use the word LAZY?
And as women, why is body fat shamed?

The “lazy/chubby/out-of-shape/no muscle tone” labels are harsh these days. Do you see Women’s sacred bodies are being hustled?

What I’m actually doing (and teaching) is moving slower. Feeling deeper. Breathing and being present with my body.

Why does our society LABEL that as lazy????

Why are women supposed to have no body fat? And workout like men? Why are women so damn hard on themselves and always fighting guilt and shame for having cellulite and not hustling enough or making enough progress ...or money?

If we keep this facade up ladies, we’re going to see ourselves loose our juiciness, our flow, our innate intuition that women so often overlook as week.

This can lead to uptight pelvic floors. Tension in neck and shoulders. And riffling anxiety and beliefs of never being enough.

So I invite you to join me in getting back to our innate flow. Women are powerful. Luxurious. Soft. Tender. Inside and out.

Redemption and restoration. Promised.

Are you binging out to numb out?
😖
Stuck in your head, floundering in a sea of confusing emotions you’re terrified to feel? 😭
Are you overwhelmed and fearful of what these emotions mean?
Constantly battling the feeling of NOT ENOUGH. 👎
I get it. Learning to feel again can be scary. REALLY scary.
But taking a SLOW integrative process allows your mind and body to become in harmony again.
HARMONY.
My process of relearning to feel has been a roller coaster.
I was completely untethered. A chaotic mess. Acting on self-violent behaviors like bulimia, diet addictions, self-punishing workouts, days of food restricting, body shaming, people pleasing, and isolation. Yet somehow believed I had it all under control..😎
But the old saying of “the older you get the less you know” became an eye opening epiphany.
The “wisdom” of not knowing has brought me to knees of surrender.
And in surrender, the confession:

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING! AM I GOING TO MESS WITH FOOD FOREVER? DOES THE NIGHTMARE OF NEVER FEELING GOOD ENOUGH, SMART ENOUGH, PRETTY ENOUGH EVER END? WILL I EVER FEEL WORTHY? OF MOTHERHOOD? A HAPPY MARRIAGE? A BODY I ACTUALLY LIKE AND WANT TO TREAT WITH RESPECT? WHY CAN’T I JUST BE HAPPY AND APPRECIATE ALL I HAVE? THEY’RE SUCH 1st WORLD PROBLEMS!! BUT I’M SO BROKEN AND IT HURTS SO BAD. PLEASE, TAKE THIS AWAY. MAKE ME HAPPY. “
And in confession,
I heard that still small voice deep within..
“Surrender, my love, and trust the process.”
Surrendering terrified me. Because it meant surrendering my control.
The control over food was all I knew for 25 years. I was being asked to unlearn dieting and unlearn control.
Learning to “trust the process” scared me the most.
But the more I allowed myself to sloooowly surrender, and fully focus on feeling supported and guided, the faint voice deep within sloooowly grew louder. Clearer.
I knew my first baby step to take. Confess. Get help.

Friend. Confess. DM for help. Xoxoxo Carolyn

How do you define strength??🤔

For most my days it meant only physical strength. What my body was capable of and how I performed.. in the gym, at work, at home.. it was performance based strength. 💪👎😓

But it all went sideways when I had babies. I was peeing my pants and thought my pelvis was breaking with every squat, and my kids were triggering me left and right🥺🤬!!

This is when awareness and a new reframe of strength started to develop within. It became about taking action on my own health, taking responsibility for external and internal wounds, and integrating my pelvic floor.

There’s not one part of our body(s) existing solely on its own. Our spirit. Our physical body. Our emotional being. It’s all intertwined. Connected.

It’s essential we know how to navigate triggers- both muscular/myofascial triggers-and emotional triggers. It’s essential we know how to integrate pelvic floor into full body movements and move from internal connections and strength both emotionally and physically.

But for most of us, our deep emotional wounds are not being rehabbed. Our pelvic floor isn’t being rehabbed. This is why I created this monthly membership. Rebloom’s Body Bundle Membership. (Link in bio) So we can begin the rehabilitation process to both our physical body as well as emotional body. Because through this healing and strengthening we learn how to hear our intuition and spirit.

When we harness the skill of hearing our spirit, and we allow the Divine Holy Spirit to attach to ours, we find truth. There’s no negotiations. We live spirit first. We’re able to co-labor with our creator. Live on purpose. Through internal strength and supernatural strength.

So don’t “poo-pop” on this pelvic floor stuff that you’re deeming as not useful. Because it’s all connected.
