What if there was a gateway drug that could give you happiness? That could give you focus, discipline, confidence & fulfillment?

What if it guaranteed a life of greater significance, stamina, impact, & success while alleviating depression, stress, & anxiety?

Would you take it?

Wanna know what it is?

This ‘gateway drug’ …is FITNESS.

Fitness isn’t just about the physical. It’s about the mental, physical, & energetic transformation of creating & embracing an evolutionary journey for LIFE.

What fitness really teaches you…

If you’ve followed me for years, you’ve witnessed I’ve been all shapes & sizes. And if you’re new, I cannot wait to get to know you! 

I been thru 50 shades of healing, strong af, thiccc af, shredded af, & f*cked up & everything in between.

Struggled like all of you.

And I’m honesty getting emotional writing this, thinking, having spent so much of my energy nitpicking the “perfect” set of macros or training routine. Not going out or dating because I felt less than or I was over my calorie allotment that day.

It’s about finding that perfect blend of balance.

Fitness 100% taught me that I CAN do the hard things👇

➡️It taught me how to stay committed-not just by what I looked like in the mirror, but by keeping promises I made to myself.

➡️It taught me discipline. Getting workouts in, hitting macros, eating whole nourishing foods & not crap.

➡️It taught me the value of hardwork & that I can do anything I put my mind to.

➡️It taught me seasons, how to work with my body, self care, time & energy management.

It’s hard to find something that will teach you how to f*cking finish something more than that.

As creatures on this earth, we either find comfort in not trying or comfort in the extreme. It’s difficult to find comfort in the balance.

I firmly believe pressure creates diamonds, & the challenges endured mentally & physically through fitness have helped reveal my highest self. 

Go find your highest self❤️

That’s your gateway drug.
