Vulnerability is the way. You were meant to hear these shameful confessions and message today.

MENTAL HEALTH: THE MOST COMMON THOUGHTS & FEELINGS OF SUICIDAL MEN.

One of the bravest things I ever did was own my eating disorder & hate for myself.

One of the bravest acts of faith in myself,
as a person of worth that wasn’t attached to what I looked like or what I achieved, was getting rid of an old pair of Abercrombie jeans that I bought that were two sizes too small.

You can read about my gut healing & weight loss story here in this blog!

Because I told myself when I was skinny enough to fit into these jeans, that’s when I would be happy & worthy.

No one wants to be uncomfortable. Everyone wants to be brave but no one wants to be vulnerable.

Vulnerability is not knowing, but doing it anyways out of faith because your heart tells you to.

That’s true bravery & courage.

Being a true leader is being honest about yourself & your life & saying I’m 50 shades of f* led up & I love every bit of it & I’m here to share my story & be vulnerable to help others out there who are too afraid to live the truth of their own lives.

Choose courage over comfort. You cannot be a leader or a luminary without being vulnerable. You can’t have both.

Love & empathy get you through the shame shit storms.

You own your story.
You write your pages.
And by you sharing your life, authentically, you’re giving someone else hope to do the same.

That is being a leader.

I hope you enjoy this message & it meets you where you need ❤️

How to Nurture the Power of Decision

Don’t bullshxt me Darlin’

Decisions still give me anxiety. 

They just rile me up. It means I have to choose something & release something else.

I realize now it gives me anxiety because I fear making the wrong choice & somehow that makes me a bad person. A failure. An imposter. Which are 2 of my worst fears.

How about guys? You feel this way too?

I feel if I make a ‘bad’ decision, I’m not achieving, I’m not people pleasing, & that makes me less worthy somehow.

I realized it was paralyzing me & there are no wrong decisions — only an experience.

That doesn’t make me a bad person that makes me human. I focused too much on the end product & not on the love of the journey & process. 

This was applicable to my love life, my relationship with food & body image, career goals — you name it.

Also, let me remind you, nothing is irreversible. Picture the worst case outcome. Trust me, you’ll be fine.

Dr. Joe Dispenza preaches the POWER is in the present, becoming unattached to outcomes.

We can’t worry about the past, it doesn’t need us anymore. Learn the lessons.

⁣Now, 2nd guessing.

This shows up in the smallest ways. 

✅Ex: I choose the hamburger but 2nd guess myself when your wings come out. 

✅Ex: I choose to go to CrossFit but Karen down the road went for a 5 mile run. Maybe I should’ve done that.

✅Ex: I chose Partner A because he feels comfortable & safe but I truly want Partner B but somehow don’t feel good enough for partner B.

✅Ex: I chose job 1 bc it gives me freedom. But I really need job 2 bc it’s stable yet I’m afraid of commitment.

Am I the biggest fxck up in the world because I did so? No.

So here’s what I want to reiterate, decisions are crossroads. You’re not less worthy because you make a decision that didn’t turn out.

You’re not indecisive or savage or weak or broken or stupid or whatever you tell yourself. 

It’s simply your baggage being pulled out of your bag. 

So sit yo 🍑on the floor & unpack your baggage — it’s not gonna unpack itself.

And I’ll be sittn on the floor, with a cocktail or coffee, unpacking my shxt with you. ❤️🥃☕️
