#ReasonsWhyTheresJoyOnMyFace ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I got to talk to a beautiful group of women at @bbbsnyc’s Parent Appreciation Day yesterday and although I was probably the youngest and least experienced parent in the room, they received me with open minds and hearts ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We welcomed the #FullMoon in Scorpio by releasing as a group and it was SO powerful. P.S. Lunation emails will be in your inboxes soon. 🌕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My humans came to work with me, so Ava Luna got to see her mama shine her light and encourage other women to do the same. 👩‍👧 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although the U.S. is a disgusting mess and the government is (as per usual) doing the most to keep us bound, I’m fighting for our tribe to do the opposite. Each upload, each live talk, each product sold promotes freedom, compassion, and connection. Grateful ya’ll are riding with me. 🙏🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tag a friend who brings joy to your face + heart ❤️
Shoutout to my husband. Just cause. Grateful to be loving, growing, and building with you in this lifetime. Also, thanks for taking my photos and editing my work. You’re the best to ever do it. #EarthAngel🧔🏾❤️
Someone recently asked me if I would go back to a #plantbased diet since I’m done with #WholeGlow40 and my response was: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m still plant-based! I just eat eggs and seafood now too. 🤘🏽Through this journey, I’ve learned that one of the biggest misconceptions is that plant-based = #vegan, when that’s not true in all cases. I’m plant-based because I’ve eliminated meat and dairy, and my meals are based on whole ingredients, but I choose to eat eggs and seafood because...well...I love them. I explain the difference between vegan and plant-based on my blog where I also share a ton of resources. (Link in my bio + click trending posts.) Have you read it? Would you/have you leaned into a plant-based diet? 🥒🍳🥖🥔🥑🍲🌮🍠🍣
A couple of months ago, before I even thought of #WholeGlow40, or taking my physical self-care as seriously as actually exercising multiple times a week, I uploaded a snap that about hating the gym. Ya’ll chimed in like a church choir on Christmas singing hymns about how much ya’ll also loathed the gym. Most of ya’ll said it just wasn’t a place for you. I agreed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After 45 days of eating plant-based foods, pushing myself to exercise as much as possible (I’m deadass lifting weights ya’ll...heavy ones too), and having many talks with myself on the way to said workouts, I’ve realized that the reason I hated the gym so much is because I was low-key projecting the hate I have for myself. The gym never did anything to me but help me get slimmer and stronger. The real reason I hate it is because I thought it was better than me. I thought I wasn’t worthy of being there because I was the “small fish.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was all bullshit. In the last 45 days I’ve not only exercised my body, but also my relationship with healthy practices I’ve been afraid to adopt. I am just as worthy to be all up in the gym as any bulky ass man that hogs the Smith machine. (Ya’ll know!) I am no longer afraid to try new things even if they make me feel seen because the first step in healing and sculpting the life (and body) I want is seeing what needs healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remembering wtf you are goes beyond affirmations and remembering your worth in relationships. Remember wtf you are in all aspects of your wellness – including exercise, the gym, and anything tangible you’ve been conditioned to be fearful of. 🦋
I suffered through #postpartumanxiety in silence because, honestly, I thought ya’ll would judge me. How could a new mother with an existing anxiety disorder also have PPA? I wasn’t brave enough to share my experience with anyone until I realized that I’d only be perpetuating the lack of awareness and information about it if I didn’t share my story. So I have. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in my bio to read my article for @healthline about the 5 things I wish I’d known about postpartum anxiety. I hope it helps shed light on the fact that there are so many #postpartummentalhealth conditions that can manifest in a new mom. If you think you’re going through it alone, know that you’re not + you have options. ❤️ #MyHealthline #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
