Soft focus. Peaceful days.
Boundaries that don’t need explaining.
Showing up for me — again and again.
This is my October vibe check.

10 yrs ago I was running at 275lbs trying to believe change was possible.
Showing up for yourself creates change.
It has to, that’s the deal.
Accountability changed my life. It can change yours too.
DM me “accountability” if you’re ready to show up for YOU

I’m really proud of this one. I wrote about weight loss, drugs, shame, and the double standards we don’t talk about enough… Especially when it comes to women trying to feel better in their bodies.

13 years. 180 pounds down. A thousand lessons in between.
Back then, I was lonely and afraid I’d never find happiness.
Now? I’ve found my worth, my confidence, and me.
If I can do this, so can you.
Happiness is a choice. I’m rooting for you. ❤️

Want to stay stuck in burnout? Here’s the blueprint:

4️⃣: Wait for the “perfect” moment (spoiler: it doesn’t exist).
What’s ONE thing you’ve been saying yes to that’s draining you?

🚩 You support them but are they supporting you?
Here’s the truth: Relationships should feel reciprocal, not one-sided.“Am I giving energy to connections that aren’t giving back?”
Clearing out toxic patterns isn’t selfish
Choosing YOU first creates space for the love and relationships you deserve
