Choose what you want most… not what you want right now. We live in a fast-paced society filled with instant gratification and convenience. But the truth is… some things require a process. Delayed gratification is key. Even when you don’t see the results…they are building in the ba

There’s more to your pelvic floor than just doing kegels. There are multiple parts to it. Being able to activate all parts of your pelvic floor can support your workouts as well as your overall health. Find some time today to sit in a quiet place. Imagine there are 4 sides of your pel

Healing isn’t linear. It doesn’t mean that every time a trigger appears, you’ll respond maturely. It means…there may be mistakes. There may be moments where the tears come out of nowhere. But there’s also growth. Progress IS happening. So give yourself grace. It takes time to u

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I get emotional because I remember the version of me that didn’t trust herself. I felt defeated. I didn’t recognize myself. I felt I had failed at marriage…failed clinical…and failed myself. I’m proud of her for not giving up 🥹🤎 #weightlossandfatlo

Your environment matters too. I think sometimes we underestimate the effect that our environment has on us. When things are all over the place in our home, usually our mind is too. One of the things that has helped me is simply being more intentional about my space. Taking the time to c

Maintenance matters too. Sometimes when life hits..we begin to neglect ourselves. We stop doing the things we enjoy. Depression…life obstacles…can really cause you to neglect yourself. You wake up , go through the motions of the day, then go to bed. But that’s the opposite of what we

Sometimes I look in the mirror... and I’m like wow. I get emotional because there was a time I felt trapped in my own body. I didn’t trust myself. Then one day I decided... what if I actually do something about it? No half-assing. Just consistently showing up for myself. Today I t

Oftentimes we check in with everybody else. We show up for the people we love and try to support them the best way we can. However… sometimes we neglect ourselves. How often do we truly check in with ourselves? When do we make time or create space to simply make sure we are okay? We are

Showing up means sticking to your goals even when you don’t feel like it. Showing up is making a daily choice to become better and do better. Showing up is working towards a goal even if you’re not seeing the results you want yet. Most importantly… showing up..is showing up for yourself🤎

As cliché as it may sound… meal prepping really can be a game changer when it comes to hitting your goals 🤎 #mealprep #fitnessjourney #consistency #wellnessjourney #bodiedandbecoming

being on edge 24/7 isn’t normal… for a long time i thought it was i thought being irritable, overwhelmed, and constantly stressed was just life but it wasn’t as black women we carry a lot… and eventually your body will let you know when it’s too much for me, it wasn’t just one thing i

it may be hard… you’ll go through an emotional roller coaster… but a better version of you is waiting on the other side 🤎 #selfgrowth #startover #becomingyourbestself #keepgoing

When I first posted the photo on the left, I used an emoji…because it was hard to see how bad it had gotten for me. Today I’m showing it because I’m damn proud of the woman I’m becoming and the progress I’ve made. In total, I’ve lost 55 lbs. At my highest, I was 225 lbs…today I’m 170.

It’s okay to be selfish. It’s okay to take care of yourself. We are constantly taught to sacrifice for jobs, people..things..even at the expense of our mental health. But what about pouring into ourselves?? What about our own needs?? A lot of us have felt depleted and drained at so

Rebuilding yourself is hard. It’s painful, uncomfortable, and sometimes overwhelming. But growth requires it… And it’s always worth it. ✨ #selfgrowth #healingjourney #becoming

Rebuilding yourself is not pretty. You have to face things you tried to ignore. You have to feel emotions you pushed to the side. You have to get real honest with yourself. You have to decide that you’re worth fighting for… and that means letting of what no longer serves you…including yo

There was a time I didn’t feel like myself at all… mentally... physically... emotionally. The gym became more than just working out… it became the place I started showing up for me again. Little by little, brick by brick, I rebuilt myself. And I realized so many women are in that same sp

I’ve lost 50 lbs overall in my weight loss journey. I didn’t cut out the foods I enjoyed . I focused on portion control and making most of my meals at home. This is what allowed me to remain consistent …because I didn’t feel restricted. I went out to eat, I enjoyed tacos…cocktails …yo

Choosing yourself is easier said than done …but there’s a shift that happens when you do. Choosing yourself looks like.. saying no.. standing on your boundaries … using PTO for a mental health day…. admitting you need help. You can’t pour from an empty cup… and you don’t have to wait
