Shockingly Embarrassing Acknowledgments about Life and Love That Changed Everything For Me

I had a patient tell me I had really BIG blingy earrings in the ER one day💎✨😂…

I find in general people are afraid to step outside the norm.

Y’all, the more we embrace the concept of being colorful & XTRA, the more we will normalize people feeling comfortable in their own skin.

When my patient commented on my appearance in the ER, I was so freaking proud of myself in that moment because instead of being triggered, I thought f*ck yeah, I’m doing my life right.

I feel amazing, regal, beautiful, luxurious, abundant & I’m not afraid to show up. I no longer live life trying to shrink myself. (Note most of my jewelry is affordable & from Amazon. These particular earrings were Kate Spade AB crystals. LOVE. OBSESSED.)

There are threads that connect our past, present & future selves together. 🧵🪡🧶They’re unique to us. No thread is identical.

Btw… my patient smiled, I looked at her with loving eyes, & I said, “Hell yeah, I love my big earrings 👉just like life. Little person, big personality. That’s how my mom describes me.”

I experience JOY crafting & creating my character of the day. That’s me creating my heaven + my reality. You can create yours too! That’s the magic of thoughts become things. 🪄🦄

💫I manifest the feeling of my reality via my writing, my words, my wardrobe, my accessories, the way I take care of myself, the way I present myself. 👉It all comes from me. We co-create life. Utilize your resources & inner beauty.

I truly do enjoy the “ #travelnurse “ life. (I’m a travel Xray tech & clinician for newbies here) The decision to partake in this unique lifestyle didn’t come lightly, however. I did it scared shitless & had self doubt, too.

What if I suck?

What if I’m homesick?

What if people don’t like me?

What if I hate my assignment?

What will people think of me?

What if, what if, what if…

I’m elated embarking on this journey. It’s exciting, enlightening, challenging, adventurous, fulfilling, pleasurable & painful af too.

You become a more resilient, able, adaptable, loving, insightful, resourceful, badass & bombdiggitty human in my opinion.

Dudes, we rock 🤘🫶💀💕🚑🏥 Travel healthcare workers UNITE!

I realized in a rock-bottom point in my life years ago that I was stuck in a stagnant, hyper vigilant state. I was addicted to the complacent, “busy life” instead of one of inner peace & fulfillment.

GSD (get shit done) is a dopamine hit with pros & cons on both ends of the spectrum.

On one hand, it made/makes me super successful, productive, & proud, but on the other hand, also burned out, tired, cranky, oftentimes sick. It can feel on occasion I’m stuck in a phase called “chasing the next best thing,” missing out on the sweetness of life. I forget to be present.

I’m clearly aware of it.
Back then I simply didn’t know how to change it or how to evolve into a better version of me. Some things that helped me understand myself & other people to get what I wanted 👇

I’ve lost 60lbs in my life’s time and kept it off. I documented my healing, weight loss, & carnivore journey HERE just for you in case you’re struggling like I did.

My complacency with life was a protective mechanism. I armed myself with “safe” decisions & stagnancy because of past trauma:

being a people pleaser

always feeling like I had to achieve to receive love

feeling I had to look a certain way or weigh a certain weight to be seen as beautiful & worthy of love

wanting to change myself to be accepted & validated…I could go on & on here.

Ego got me into debt because I would buy shit just to look the part instead of because it made me feel amazing or enabled me to express my creative authenticity.

It’s taken over 40 years for me to acknowledge & accept the following things that are seen as weird & non-traditional to society.

I’m exuberatingly proud to say that I am OK living an extremely satisfied, loving life being self partnered & non traditional.

Self partnered to me is living life on my own terms to feel, look, & be my best…AND THAT MEANS designing a life optimized to help me live my most peaceful, happy, easy, joyous, abundant, loved filled, & purpose driven life possible.

I don’t give a shit that my light shines differently. And you have permission to shine bright yourself, as bright as you want, however you want! ✨🪩✨

Huge observational revelations I scripted one morning trying to make sense of myself & life. They’re a tad bit triggering but honest af. Maybe you’ll relate to them too!

🧠I sleep in cycles & when I’m tired, I don’t pay attention to the time or whether it’s deemed morning or night. Chock that up to probably working weird 3rd and first shift cycles. I am always responsible/respectful of my work schedule. I feel my best when I honor my natural sleep/wake cycles. I sleep really well 😆 in the back of my Ford Ecosport (named Ruby btw 🚗) where I’ve made a little bed. I had to take naps on my lunch breaks to conserve energy on many travel assignments and road trips. I travel often & this has been a Godsend in keeping my energy/health as a priority.

🧠 I am a biohacker 🤷‍♀️ To answer y’all’s questions about my anti-aging & biohacking routine, I wrote a blog HERE for you.

🧠Music is my life force just like food. So is my wardrobe, colors, & the vibe of my environment. They immensely influence my mood & energy. I’ve learned how to change & utilize these to my benefit. I have playlists & colors that I’ll wear & listen to to reflect the mood I’m in or vibe/state I need to be in. Playlists I enjoy are my Denim & Rhinestones list, coffee house jazz, classical pop, nature sounds, country, red dirt music, caffeine & kilos playlist, etc. morgan wallen, post Malone, & Warren zeiders always 🙂 A HUGE VARIETY! 🎶 Spotify playlist HERE

🧠I feel my best when I’m caffeinated. Haha! I do enjoy coffee & occasional alcohol in moderation. I don’t drink alcohol much tho. If I’m going to partake in alcohol or a cocktail, it’s to enhance an experience like a special occasion or my favorite venue. I don’t drink to get drunk anymore. Not worth it, dims my light & numbs my abilities. I’d rather go to bed early & get up early. If I’m going to partake in alcohol, it’s usually early in the day, socially.

🧠I eat when I’m hungry & eat what I’m hungry for. I do whatever form of exercise/workouts feel good to me in that moment. Here lately it’s Orange Theory, zone 2 cardio, walking, occasional CrossFit & strength training. I look & feel my best when I honor my body without force. I do better digestively & energy wise eating one large low carb, MEATY meal early in the day & sipping on my daily chocolate nutritional shake from @acheiveequilife or @nuethix_formulations Medipure DS during daylight hours. (LINK to discounts & products IN IG BIO & HIGHLIGHTS btw)

OR one larger meal in the morning post workout & a small snack around 1pm-ish.

Meat bars and my airfryer are my jam. You can find recipes and videos in this blog HERE.

Post workout breakfast. 1.25 lbs of *0% ground beef #meatbars Airfry. 380. 12 minutes. Did not consume the fat in the bottom of the airfyer to make it leaner.

I have a whole recipe book full of low carb deliciousness! 👇👇

https://checkout.square.site/buy/5GIJEY2IYYNH3FSEBYWF5BGH

I prefer eating alone or intimately with few people vs eating out. My energy is best with liquid meals (I am more satiated with real food however, that’s why I keep one large meal in the morning) I do fab fasting longer hours overnight (like 20 hrs) That’s when my digestion is the best.

🧠I prefer being a lone wolf. I am social, but do it in doses on my own terms.

I have very few people I am comfortable sharing my space with (traveling, sleeping over, adventuring, etc): my parents, + my 2 besties @lisamitchellindy & @just___jess___

They are my persons & make my life FULL❤️ no matter how little or how much we talk, or are/aren’t physically around one another, I know they are always there & we pick up where we left off. People that feel like Freedom & Home. Thank you for being my biggest adventures + safe spaces.

🧠I define & base my relationships on how they make me feel. Traditional relationships, the married then kids then picket fence things, feel like masks & facades people put on to appease society. They simply don’t feel aligned. It’s not that I haven’t tried being the bride with the white picket fence in the past, &/or I’m not open to love, I’m just open to love & relationships on my own terms that serve me best. And why is it that the majority still feels they HAVE to have kids?

I understand this is “weird” for most people. Let me explain what is aligned to me…

💕I typically don’t stay over at peoples houses. I feel more comfortable in my own home around my own energy.

💕I enjoy driving myself, Uber, & travel solo.

💕I enjoy & sleep better alone.

💕I like going to bed early + getting up early. My mornings are everything to me & set the tone for my entire day.

💕I am energetic in the morning & more productive. I don’t lay around in bed when I first wake & I’m not one to lay & cuddle for hours. (I like cuddling & I love physical affection, but I don’t want it first thing in the morning I have things to do 😂 Same with Sex…I LOVE passionate sex, but would rather have it spontaneously throughout the day or in the middle of the night. I don’t like it first thing in the morning because ya girl dedicated to her routine)

💕I love people & being in an aligned relationship. I’ve realized I am frankly super happy & satisfied doing my own thing on my own time and I would hope that other person would feel the same. Then when the time is right, we come together later when our energies & attention are aligned to be a freakin POWER COUPLE.

🧠I love being by myself🤷‍♀️ Took me decades to get here. One thing I’m SUPER proud of myself for cultivating. It’s effortless. I am my own best friend, in my own energy. I openly love myself a ridiculous amount👉 I’m not afraid to admit that. It’s taken me over 40 years to love the essence of my being & my body & being able to just BE me.

🧠I don’t feel the need to be a wife. I look forward to a life partner that agrees with my lifestyle, my ambition, my goals, my personal boundaries, & similar beliefs. I prefer someone that compliments me in their own unique way. I prefer diversity, someone not exactly like me. I like the wisdoms that comes with challenge & variety. I like someone that wants to build something together, I like someone that is OK with me striving to always be my best.

🧠I desire someone that doesn’t want to change me. I am able to evolve & compromise but the moment you tell me what to do when I don’t want to do it & it doesn’t feel aligned, you’re trying to change me. The relationship will not work. I say this with love because I want you to be your best too. (I’m speaking to whomever my life partner is here.)

➡️➡️I call this kind of writing/journaling scripting. Simply get your thoughts out. I suggest trying it to everyone out there! Visualize/journal your thoughts & what you desire! That’s why I write all of these down in the morning on my notes page in my phone. It has helped me make sense of my life, myself, make better business decisions, relationship decisions, health, & body decisions, money decisions, etc.

🧠I am an impulse shopper. I’m an emotional being & I buy shit on a whim. 😂 I’m aware of this. I don’t shame myself for it. It just is what it is. If I buy something when I’m being emotional & I don’t love it, I require myself to take it back. It’s a self love boundary. Because money is freedom and I want to utilize it in the best way possible. I’ve made investing & saving a game that is SEXY & FUN TO ME! That’s how I’ve been able to create wealth, including getting myself out of 50k+ in debt! If finances & wanting to be a high performance achiever are things you struggle & want to improve, book a consult call with me. I’ll coach you how to do this specifically for your situation. I’m not just a “ nutrition coach “ 😉. Email me, katieokelly2@gmail.com

Sign up for our email newsletter community! I drop all the tips, guides, inspiration, specials & more every week!

🧠I love to save time & make my life effortless. I love Amazon➡️easy returns, effortless shipping. I love Instacart. They save me time going to the store & having to be around other people when my energy is low.

🧠I don’t shop in stores often because I buy shit I don’t need 😆another reason I like Amazon. I tend to only get what I’m inspired to buy. I love goodwill and thrift stores. Sometimes I just want to dress in a different style or a different color for a day or a week. I don’t need to buy designer I just buy what I feel good in. It can be a dollar or it can be $500

🧠I invest in what I feel is worthy of my well earned and deserved money. I tell myself I’m gifting the universe when I invest in other peoples crafts and skills or wardrobe. I don’t care my hair extensions and lash extensions are expensive 💁🏼‍♀️they make me feel amazing! The same with my lip injections. I love the way I look & I don’t care that other people criticize me for investing in this form of self-care.

🧠I love an effortless, energy giving life. I like auto brew on my coffee maker, I organize my space in a way that makes sense to me. I purge and clean old energy & stuff constantly. I update my wardrobe all the time with the seasons, with my seasons. If something frustrates me, I get rid of it, I change it, I cut it out of my life, I optimize it, or I delegate it in someway. I am here to love every bit of my life and I have the power to change whatever I want.

🧠I know I don’t have to do everything myself. I can utilize my resources. I am worthy and deserving just being me, I deserve being paid for just being me, in whatever form that means, I don’t have to perform or achieve or look a certain way to be incredible.

I record these reclamations/thoughts/acknowledgments simply for observation & self nourishment reasons with so much self-love, not ego.

And now I can go out & serve everyone to my best ability because I know my blueprint.

Fixing the Fear of Gaining Weight and A Simple Guide to Ways I Learned to Love Myself

This will probably trigger you…
It triggers me everytime someone asks me. “How do I learn to love myself?”

Straight up, I’ll tell you, you are the reason you’re not where you wanna be.
And it’s because of fear.

I tell you this as your coach & fellow human that understands.

For the majority of you following along my fitness journey via the interwebs, I feel confident saying we have many things in common, including this painful topic.

You see I realize now, as my 41 year old self, fear of gaining weight totally stifled my potential, controlled, & basically wrecking balled my life in every facet.

Every facet of life is connected. I categorize mine as health, self, wealth, & relationships.

My disordered eating & self love journey started at the age of 8.

Fear of gaining weight & self loathing caused me to live decades in agony & struggle.

I ate all the wrong things for me. All the “healthy” sugar free food & crazy diets that tore up my gut, hormones, & metabolism.

I starved, binged, purged, & over exercised myself to exhaustion, inflammation, & imbalances.

I didn’t have many friends & missed out on SOOO many memories because I feared eating food, both because I didn’t wanna go over my calories & be “fat” & I feared being judged for not being able to eat “normal” due to my Crohn’s.

I didn’t ask guys out, I doubted myself. I was never athletic enough, skinny enough, lean enough, strong enough, pretty enough, smart enough…

I never reached a body goal I was happy with no matter how thin I got or how strong I got. Not because I wasn’t a hard worker, I worked my ass off, but because my relationship with myself, my negative mindset, & fear of gaining weight controlled ME.

I had a DM from a woman desperate for me to give her magic macros & all the answers to get a lean physique.

First thing she said, “I’m afraid to gain the weight back, but what I’m doing isn’t working.” She was eating tons of lean protein, little fat, stated she was hungry all the time, fasting, working out like a fiend…sound familiar?

I said you’re right, it’s not working. The main issue isn’t not having the perfect macros or workout regime, it’s because you’re letting your fear of gaining weight block your doors of abundance & success.

It’s preventing you mentally & physically from making the correct decisions & courses of action. Your body also responds to your thoughts & feelings, if all you think & feel is self hate, despair, & poor health – that’s what you’re gonna get.

She said, “I never thought of it that way.”

I said, “Exactly.”

So I wrote a list of simple things I did to help me learn to love myself for you to refer back to. Make these yours however they fit & resonate.

I hope they give you HOPE that you can learn to love yourself too.

Simple Ways I Learned to Love Myself

Self awareness means to know & accept yourself. It’s impossible to love yourself if you don’t even know who you are. Invest in discovering what you believe, value, & like. And yes, this will mean making mistakes, but you’ll learn & discover what you do like.

I asked myself these questions:
What are my strengths?
How do I want to feel in my body, relationships, & finances?
Who matters most to me? Who are my people?
What am I ashamed of?
What do I like to do for fun?
What am I worried about that consumes my thoughts?
What are my values? What do I believe in?
If I could have one wish, it would be…
Where do I feel safest?
What or who gives me comfort? What or who do I numb with?
If I wasn’t afraid, I would…
What is my proudest accomplishment?
What is my biggest failure?
Am I a night owl or an early bird? How can I arrange my life to better suit this part of me?
What do I like about my job(s)? Does it bring me joy & fulfillment?
What do I do to show myself love & self-care?
Am I an introvert or an extrovert? Am I energized being around others or being by myself?
What is/are my happiest memory/memories?
What am I grateful for?

Say “no” when you need to. It doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you smart & more able to fully yourself & those around you. Boundaries are one HUGE form of self-care because they let others know that you are deserving of respect.

Comparison is the thief of Joy -Stop. Others aren’t better or worse, more or less than you; we’re all just different. You are worthy simply because you exist. Period. The reason we struggle is because we compare everyone’s highlight reels to our behind the scenes.

The reason we struggle is because we compare everyone’s highlight reels to our behind the scenes.

Know and own your strengths. We all have tremendous gifts. refer back to those questions in number 1. And again, stop comparing. When you’re busy, distracted, & always stuck in comparison “whoa is me” mode, it’s hard to acknowledge & access these vibrant qualities. Focusing on your strengths will increase your positive feelings for yourself & inner & outer vibration.

Let go of the past. Your past mistakes and imperfections don’t need you anymore. Cut the cords physically & energetically. Embrace your humanness. Mistakes are normal. Imperfections are part of what makes you, YOU. Everything is an experience. That’s it. You can choose & begin again every day.

Accept that some people won’t like you no matter what you do. All that matters is you love YOU. People view you from their own lens of life experience & trauma. We do this to others too. So think about that before you go to judge someone. Don’t waste your time trying to please people who are impossible to please or people who just aren’t that important to you. Being yourself means you have to give up your people-pleasing ways and embrace your authentic self. People pleasing leads to you losing yourself & ultimately building resentment.

Make JOY & fun unapologetic priorities. We were meant to live this life in Joy. Put something you love & look forward to on your agenda every week. Anticipation is a key stage in helping you feel happiness; by having something to look forward to, no matter what your circumstances, you bring happiness into your life well before the event actually takes place. That’s you vibrating those happy feelings we all want which helps us attract abundance into all areas of our lives.

Practice gratitude. Gratitude is one of the simplest ways to focus on the good in yourself and in your life. Name at least 3 things you’re grateful for when you wake up every morning. Flood your mind & morning with positive quotes, images, intentions for your day. This is an enormous part of my morning routine. I speak out everything I’m grateful for no matter how silly they seem. I can’t tell you how many times I say, “Thank you God & Universe” during my days. And it has made all the positive difference. Even for small things like a light turning green, or a parking space, or bills or expenses that enable me to live a life of comfort & joy.

Here are some things I like to do that help me live in positivity & gratitude:

Waiting in a checkout line, compliment someone. Acknowledge people & say good morning. Buy someone’s groceries or coffee. Be kind to the homeless & less fortunate.
Leave sweet notes for your partner, spouse, kids, roommates, coworkers, etc telling them how much you appreciate them. Send a kind text.
Send people gifts on Amazon. OMG, one of my favorite things to do! Get their address & send them something to brighten their day! You can do this anywhere & anytime without even leaving home or getting out of your pj’s!
Tip well & express gratitude for exceptional service. Give well deserved reviews. I do this at restaurants, bars, on instacart & amazon, surveys about services.
Thank the Universe, God, Collective- whatever & whoever you believe in for letting you live another day.
Thank Mother Earth & farmers for our food.
Express your appreciation for the weather.
Daily, write down at least 3 things you feel grateful for.
Look in the mirror & appreciate all the miraculous things your body does for you. What do you love about yourself?
Open the door for people. Help the elderly. Talk to everyone no matter who they are. Tell people who serve you THANK YOU!

Take nurturing, loving care of your body! Y’all, health is truly priceless & your greatest wealth. Give yourself the gift of feeling physically strong & thriving – move, exercise regularly, eat healthfully, hydrate, get 7-8 hours of sleep most nights, say no to gluttony, & minimize alcohol &/or other numbing mechanisms. The most successful, happy people are those with daily success habits & a routine that helps them thrive!

Write yourself a love letter. Get it out, you’re amazing! This puts all the wonderful intentions out there & that’s what you’ll attract back to you. We attract what we ARE. Attraction also includes the words ACTION. Do the things that embody the person you desire to be. Repeat this list in the mirror every morning. Write them out on post it notes & put them where you can see them.

Surround yourself with a nurturing, up leveling environment. This includes everything you consume: people, books, movies, social media, food, drink, jobs, where you live, where you hang out, etc. Who you spend time with reflects how you feel about yourself. People who feel worthy surround themselves with positive people. Sometimes loving yourself means you have to end relationships & things & let them go. Let them go with LOVE.

Do I block love?! Deliciously inquisitive gut check moment.

A friend asked how they could pray for me this morning…. I’m not asked that often…

…to be (grossly) honest & raw with myself (yuck. I don’t like triggered feelings either, I’m just like you) I feel it’s an uncomfortable, icky/weird trigger for me?! 🤔🧐 — Not in an ashamed shade, or ego shade, but in a realization that as well & fucking awesome as I have done healing myself & loving myself completely, I feel I have done it to the point I still have resistance to letting people love & take care of me because I know I can now take care of myself in my whole entirety. 👀

Just because you’ve healed doesn’t mean you’re perfect.

There’s SO much depth to the phrase, “progress not perfection.”

It’s not just a picture of your “stereotypical influencer” posing in front of a mirror. (Because when you hear that phrase, I feel most of us, especially in the nutrition & fitness space, that’s what we picture.)

I still have blocks around trusting people, both men & women. Although I always see the good in all things, I’ve placed a protective layer of sparkly, delicate, beautiful LACEY shield of guardedness around myself.

Vulnerable personal goals I am working on is to allow more LOVE❤️ in (In whatever aligned color/form I need. I trust God & the Universe knows what’s best for me)

To all my other peoples out here that are curious/betterment seeking/wisdom seeking/& a human/spirit that still struggles…take what you need, leave the rest🫶

Thank you to my friend that touched my heart & sparked the inspiration behind this message for me & y’all out there. In that moment I realized, “Katie, you give to so many people, do you let your guard down to allow other people to love & take care of you?

Gut check moment✔️

My response to my friend (& you can use this too)…

“Pray I have the strength & the love in my heart to be open to make people’s lives better, to take care of myself (and others) as appropriate. To follow my highest alignment, love, & compassion consciously & confidently to live my true story.”

Oftentimes it takes a gut check moment to turn up the thermostat in yourself to rise like a phoenix 🦅 🔥❤️‍🔥 to transform your identity in the most ferociously, fierce, nourishing, delicious way possible 😉

We turn up the thermostat to transformation via Faith. Intention. & Association.

FAITH: in whatever you believe & in yourself.

INTENTION: with your thoughts, behaviors, decisions, & habits.

ASSOCIATION: in your environment, everything you consume, the people, places, things & habits you surround yourself with.

Vibrational Living: how it helped me attract love & money, heal my gut, lose fat/weight, & continuously/effortlessly create & live my dream life

These are my favorite sparkly PJ pants. They came from @target Little girls size 14. They are not “flattering” at all & I could give a shit less. A former version of me would not wear these because I didn’t look “skinny” in them.

I prefer this me, this 41 year old, weird as shit version of me probably more than any other version of me. (And I’ve been a lot of versions of me! 👀)

I’ve been a competitive CrossFit athlete, runner, cardio queen, jacked, fat, skinny fat, partnered, single, married, divorced twice, with men, with women, confused af, broke af, happy af, lost af, fuggn you name it.

If you scroll my feed & peep highlights I’ve been all shapes & sizes & everything in between. (𝙼𝚢𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐/𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎/𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝙸𝙶 𝚋𝚒𝚘) link below 👇

Book suggestion👉Please read 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬…changed my life. short read. I live by these 4 agreements & my own personal creed which I share in IG stories.

Vibrational Living.

What is it, how it helped me attract love & money, heal my gut, lose fat/weight, & continuously/effortlessly create & live my dream life.

Let’s get real here (y’all know if you’ve followed me for a while that’s how we roll)…👉I used to be a sick, overweight, unhappy, lonely, broke bitch. 🤷‍♀️It is what it is.

We don’t filter around here because real life isn’t filtered. It’s dirty, it’s beautiful, it’s pain, it’s pleasure & every shade of 50 shades of fucked up AND amazingness & everything in between. ☀️☔️ 🌈 🎨🌱🌹🥀

Life:

It’s death. It’s rebirth. Its peaks. Its valleys. It’s sunshine. It’s rain. The only thing that is guaranteed is that things are going to change.

I’ve lost 55lbs of weight, self-loathing, scarcity energy, + a bunch of fucks I did not need to give as a younger version of myself. I fully believe releasing that anxiety & emotional weight was actually what helped me open my chakras & release the physical weight.

I like to stay away from labels & allow myself + others to have the freedom to eat & live & love as they choose. I called this vibrational living. I eat this way & workout this way. I love this way. I invest my money this way. I dress this way👉 I do everything this way.

This is what my MO means when I say “I don’t do rules I do what feels right.”

Straight up, Here’s what’s making you fat, sick, sad, anxiety stricken, broke, unfulfilled, & lonely: (I did all these things too. But I chose to make a decision & stick to my commitments to change & co-create a better me & the life of MY dreams)

Thoughts about feeling MIS🚫aligned in Vibration📴Anxiety is NOT your problem. Anxiety & triggers are just trying to get your ATTENTION.

WHY you feel anxiety, depression, unfulfillment, self loathing, sadness, loneliness, &/or WHY you binge eat, over spend, people please, over work, sleep around, drink, smoke, self sabotage, etc…

…you don’t feel safe, seen, heard, understood, accepted in your life/body/relationship/job/whatevs you wanna out here. You lack purpose & are confused af. You’ve lost yourself. You don’t trust yourself &/or other people.

Self sabotage is addictive. It can be like a dopamine hit. Anxieties & triggers are your smoke detector in your kitchen.

Identify self sabotaging behaviors. Your body would be FAILING you if you didn’t recognize you were lonely, sick, unhappy & all the other feels too.

Start the change by by SHOWING up. Shift & become your own safe house. Then you can be one for others. 🏡 💕

🤘Go first & just be weird.

You need communication AND connection. You can have one without the other which leads to imbalance. Stop the ‘shame spiral’.

Steps to building a non-anxious, vibrationally aligned life:

#1 – Choose YOUR TRUTH & reality.

#2 – Choose true connection with yourself & others.

#3 – Choose freedom & joy in every sense of the words!

#4 – Choose mindfulness, nourishment, kindness, inner peace, belief, self love, optimism, goodness in all.

A question that changes it all: What do I need right now? Now pause. Breathe. And answer from your heart & your gut.

Love you. Mean it. 🫶

Breaking cycles, color therapy, current obsessions, & life realizations

I was always drawn to mood rings…

Today’s Message & Ponderings: Breaking cycles, color therapy, attracting health/abundance/love by the way you dress (present yourself), current obsessions, what I’m most proud of & life realizations

🗣️On breaking a cycles👉channeled message…

Themes for October: clearing out the cobwebs & RE LAUNCH!

A “LFG”. A wake up to what has been dormant inside of you. A reboot, a transformation, an innovation. A time to go for what is right in front of you. It’s not out of reach anymore, It’s here. This eclipse portal is going to provide you with so much insight, wisdom & understanding (even if you feel like you don’t have the whole direction. Join the club. I feel you.)

What areas have you not been developing or harnessing at full potential?

What weakness do you need to work on?

Take fitness for example. Are you not working out intentionally at the gym? Are you there but not fully committed & doing what you need to be doing with your workouts?

Are you wanting to make changes in your diet, but not fully committed to that? Are you “shoulding” all over yourself?

Don’t be angry if you’re not getting the results you want because you’re not putting in the work or resting when you should be resting.

Are you struggling in your relationships but not taking the time to efficiently communicate with your partner or friends or family?

It’s ok. It takes time to develop & bloom. The valleys allow you to feel where you don’t wanna be to give you the energy to ascend up the mountain to a better destination, your “peak.” 🏔️🌋🌄

There are no finish lines only the journey & the experiences along the way.

The eclipses in October will give you the energy to uncover what needs to change.

Love yourself along the way. Self observation/critiquing doesn’t have to be mean or hard or harsh. It just is.

In the current world today we’re so disconnected from our bodies & our minds. We let distractions of the outer world muddy the waters.

Spend time in nature, spend time alone, spend time in quiet, disconnect from social media. Unfollow accounts. Read a book. Connect with strangers, actually talk to people & get your nose out of your phone.

Something my mom told me a long time ago, stop, living your life through your phone. And that changed everything for me.

You’re back, but you’re different.

You’re always a different version of yourself. So it’s OK if you repeat cycles, just observe the energy around the cycles & why they’re happening.

Maybe you’re meant to go through those cycles again as a different version of yourself. It’s time to step out of your chrysalis.

This is the time around the holidays that people start putting themselves & health (as well as finances) second.

They start feeding the fiend instead of the friend, especially when it comes to overindulgence with the food & spending.

Thinking of food with this perspective helped me heal my bulimia & binge eating, addiction to exercise, & orthorexia.

You want to feed the friend not feed the fiend. Your body is a machine. It loves you. It keeps you alive. Food is your friend that loves you & keeps you alive. Keep the nourishing things close to you & get rid of the rest.

Feeding the friend = self loving exercise, nourishing food, portion control & mindful eating, fueling your body & eating for FUEL, positive self talk & inner chatter, surrounding yourself with a positive growth invoking environment, sleep, self care, nature, deeper community connections, personal development, avoiding trigger foods/people/places/habits, saying NO when you don’t want/need something without feeling you have to explain, resting.

👆Get the idea? 🫶🥰

🌈COLOR THERAPY

Follow @walaa.colorways & her work

Color therapy is a huge tool in my life to increase my frequency, give me energy, more happiness, attract more abundance, more love, better health, and enable myself to be the person that I want to be. I don’t consider myself materialistic, but an aficionado of creative expression. My wardrobe is a HUGE part of who I am, how I feel, & express myself. I dress accordingly. It is true what they say, how you present yourself not only dictates the way you present yourself, how you feel about yourself, AND the way that others treat you as well.

Personal ponderings

Fuchsia, Gold, & magenta are my favorite colors the majority of the time. (Fyi: Fuchsia is usually a more pinkish-purplish color, whereas magenta is more reddish. Nerd alert 🤓🚨🙋‍♀️)

I find I am typically drawn to bold, bright colors & neutrals.

I don’t typically like dark colors or black. I used to wear a lot of black when I was younger. I’m aware now this was because I wanted to hide, I didn’t feel good about myself, & I thought I looked skinnier in black, which came from a scarcity self loathing mindset.

I am currently drawn to:

Anything sparkly ( 😂 ALWAYS)✨💖🪩
pinks 💓 & purples 💜
orange 🧡
golds 💛(Boiler up) 🚂
Colts blue 💙😉🐴🏈

+ Decadent neutrals like:

camel 🐫
white 🤍
cream🍦
rich browns🤎

Patterns/Styles/Themes:

Western/rustic/ranchy (again, always 😆 🌵🏜️🐮🤠👢Yellowstone af)
Regal (think queen, victorian era)
Lacey, pearly (think feminine, denim & diamonds)

I find I get the most compliments when I dress in: Sparkles, Blue, Red, & Pinks

Our aura colors change based upon how we feel. I’ve always been in tune to this about myself. Even with other people, I can feel their vibrations & energy. I wear m headphones a lot when I go to the store & when I’m at the gym because I’m so sensitive & it helps me simply focus on myself more.

It’s “weird” but I can sense what’s going on in someone’s life, their emotional state, even see & hear their thoughts sometimes. I thought I was making the shit up when I was younger but now I realize this is one of my biggest gifts (and also a bit of a curse.)

I have to wear my headphones OFTEN & make sure I stay consciously present in my own body & mind & spend a LOT of time alone (which people interpret as me being antisocial, stuck up, etc. which isn’t the case at all.) I do it so that I can love others & serve others at my fullest. I have to serve myself first because of this.

I have to ground often (time in nature & solitude) I have practices in place to energetically & physically cleanse what is not mine everyday. (Infrared sauna therapy, red light therapy, colonic enemas, nature, workouts, meditations)

🧿🧠Personal observations at this snap shot in storybook time

Proud of myself for being unattached to things, people & places. (For you👉Research stoicism. That’s your homework if you’re not familiar 😉) Unattachment has taken a long time to develop & embrace. I finally released fear + labels & truly embodied & embraced my authentic story + everything that makes me (not what I think I need to be for other people).

Truly enjoy conversation & deeper connections with people. Anyone from coworkers to strangers, to patients, to my family & friends. Quality over quantity. These give me energy with the right people.

Such Gratitude for the special friends in my life. They mean much to me. The ones that don’t make me feel guilty for not keeping in constant contact, but always making me feel loved & supported no matter how much or little we talk or physically see each other.

Super proud of myself for loving my body & health, food & workouts & everything that I am enough to not feel the need to chase body goals or change myself anymore. No more self judgment from a criticism standpoint, but an appreciation & observation standpoint.

Super proud of myself for being able to stay present and savor the things I truly enjoy and consider decadent. Especially with carbs, spending, & alcohol. They no longer control me. I no longer use them as numbing mechanisms but something I use for enjoyment. I no longer drink to get drunk, but to savor what I desire in the moment in self loving moderation. Same with safe carbs & spending (I now say investing &/or gifting the Universe).

I no longer feel guilty for spending money like I used to. I tell myself now when I spend I’m gifting the Universe & the people I invest in.

If I know I made an ego or impulse buy, I return it & say thank you for however it served me. Amazon is my best friend, easy returns! If I buy something, I also make myself release/give away something. I don’t like clutter, I like a clear, organized fresh space.

I purge my space weekly. Anything that feels heavy or hordes old energy I now am unattached to & get rid of.

As far as career & fulfillment, I realized it doesn’t matter what job I’m doing or task I’m doing, I simply like doing things, learning, being productive, connecting with people, taking care of people & as long as I’m satisfied in what I’m doing, everything will be amazing. I love being physical & mobile & moving energy.

I don’t have to have a particular job to be worthy or successful or important, I just have to do what lights me up, be kind, & mostly importantly, leave myself & other peoples’ lives better than before they met me.

I realize no matter what I do & put out into this world. My purpose is to make people feel something.🥰

I realize I have the absolute perfect professions for me as a radiologist technologist (which I used to doubt in the past). I literally see people’s’ inner beauty & this matches up perfectly with my medium gifts + being a nutritionist. I finally feel I am on my divine path without the need to question everything.

Cord cutting, new beginnings, vibrational living, food, fitness, & flying your “freak” flag…

One the best things my therapist told me,

“If you’re angry or regretful you’re living in the past, if you’re worrying you’re living in the future, if you’re content you’ll know you’re living in the present. And that’s when life all starts to make sense.”

And THAT my friends is what I hold onto…Every. Single. Day, now.

Walked in the moonlight this morning. 🌙 There’s something about early mornings that charge the soul & allow you to discover & reveal yourself.

I find I wake up now by 3 AM every morning no matter what day it is. I stopped, forcing myself to go back to sleep. 🙄

🚗🤭👉side note, I have made a bed in the back of my red Ford Ecosport. Her name is Ruby btw. She’s my bestie & I’m so grateful to have her as my sidekick during this season of life. She’s keeps me safe & gives me freedom. Bed kinda like this one 🙂 👇

I have made naps my new favorite thing during the day at lunch. I have also stopped forcing myself to stay up when I’m tired. My nap whenever it feels right. I sleep so peaceful in my car. Good thing I’m fun sized. 😂 (5’1 & 105 on a good day 😆 I can still hear my dad telling me I need to put some more lead in my ass Haha) Random thought & confession 🤷‍♀️

Where are all my nappers at?! 👋

I open up my fridge. 🥩🍖

We eating good up in this bish. Beef chuck roast & pork country ribs today from Sam’s Club. I’ll cut these up and air fry them. (Surprise surprise 😂)

Some thoughts about my current food & body. I really love my softer, yet still “athletic” physique. The former more “serious CrossFit athlete” Katie glimmers thru.

(you can scroll through my Instagram to see previous versions of myself. My personal healing & weight loss story is in the link in my Instagram bio) link: https://lilbitoffit.com/my-first-1-year-on-the-carnivore-diet-my-story-journey-transitioning-to-a-meat-based-carnivore-diet/

It’s much easier to maintain muscle & shape once you’ve done the due diligence to build it. That means you have to eat & train with intention Y’all. Not stepping on that soapbox, but somebody needed to hear it. In fact, probably a lot of you who are under eating.

I no longer judge or compare her to the former athlete, or any other former version of myself. I am really proud of every single version I have been. I want my energy to be good now, my digestion to be effortless, & to feel robust & healthy. I call it vibrational, living & eating.

That’s all I care about now. I don’t care about setting body goals anymore, but I am truly grateful for everything I’ve learned throughout all of my seasons…as someone struggling with bulimia, being underweight, being overweight, being a former competitive CrossFit athlete, runner, & everything in between.

Here lately I crave variety in my diet. Higher fat, carnivore than what I was used to. Less ground meat, more steaks, ribs & pork. I’ve been able to consume pork now without any issues in moderation. It’s amazing how the body transforms.

The air fryer is still BAE. His name is Abe by the way. He travels with me. I cook just about everything in him. He’s an instant Vortex 6 quart.

I laugh cuz I feel I’m at a “weird inbetweener” age at 41. I’m an old soul but have such a young spirit.

Stuck between young enough to do it often, old enough to do it right & old enough to know better, young enough not to care.

💁🏼‍♀️MOOD.

Anyone else?😆

Many times I’ve had to remind myself & ask what I’m living for & who I’m living for, & if none of those answers are ME, well then, I’m living the wrong life.

I’m weird as hell according to society standards. I own it with acceptance, love, & PRIDE, now.

I name all my plants, animals, favorite appliances, & things I use because I feel everything in life is alive, has energy, & deserves to be respected & loved.

Denim & Diamonds… image below taken of me by the talented Dave McKenna of Brownsburg, Indiana.

I love all things sparkly, lacey, & pearly. Recently bought these super EXTRA little girls pants size 14 from target yesterday. Totally don’t need them but they fucking make me feel so happy when I put them on. I literally sit in my living room with these pants on & feel like Jasmine in Aladdin. Another semi embarrassing confession, but again, idgaf.💖

I see & treat the janitor the same as I see a physician or someone highly affluent & “successful.” I see souls & energy first, not race, color, sex, sexual preference, or status.

Q from a follower: How do you make decisions & know what’s right for you?

A: you’ll have to feel your way but as far as for me, I’m a human design, manifesting generator profile 2/4 (google or YouTube it if you don’t know yours) I’m driven by my gut feelings/intuition. Warm/light/happy feelings=a YES, heavy/icky/forced/or cold feelings=a NO.

Feel into your feelings & body. There are your answers. I find now as far as food I’m less of a volume eater & more of a nourishment + energy management + experience eater. I no longer have bulimia or binge eat.

Some days I crave different foods or colors or textures. Some days i crave savory food, different textures, crispy food, creamy food, nourishing food, savory foods, cold food, hot food, denser foods, lighter food, sweet food, etc. Some days I want more carbs, most days I don’t & simply want meat.

Daily energetics. Some days I feel certain colors. Like brights or neons Or neutrals or specific colors and I dress & accessorize in those colors because they make me feel amazing, vibrant & share the emotions I’m feeling.

They make me more abundant, help attract more love, higher vibe people and places, feel happier, lighter, more joyful . Eating the foods I’m desiring also does this just like colors. A reason I don’t force things anymore like diets or workouts or jobs or wardrobes or people or my style.

(A reason I hate uniforms & HARD RULES for anything because this is society trying to control us & our creative, vibrational expression.)

If I can offer you anything today with this diary entry, one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that it’s MY JOB to create a joyful reality.

RECAP of last nights big life announcement if you missed it…

“Old keys don’t open new doors. BIG Life update!!!⁣

⁣Monthly vibe check for October: clearing out the cobwebs⁣

⁣I slowly started paying attention to the glimmers. ✨ The things that lit me up & made me feel sparkly & light & happy & joyful.⁣

⁣Taking note of the areas that felt stagnant & heavy.⁣

⁣I think it’s important to address how & why cobwebs & dust accumulate. It’s because we are avoiding or not seeing a process/place/people/etc we need to clear out. ⁣

⁣Today (9/29/23) is also a full moon, which is a period of clearing & releasing.⁣

⁣Allow the change of seasons to clear out the gunk/corners/hard to reach areas. Open your windows, seasonally clean. Literally & figuratively.⁣

⁣I had to do this, too.⁣

⁣My BIG announcement as my time here in Quincy comes to an end…⁣

⁣I struggled with the comfort in extending my contract, or staying in Fishers, IN, or choosing the excitement/fear of another unknown adventure. (These still make me scared sh*tless.)⁣

⁣As you learn to lean in & trust, the Universe always shows you your path. Doesn’t mean it ain’t frustrating…trust me…I’ve been heavy & grumbly. ⁣

⁣🥳But today, I officially accepted my next chapter & adventure, I’ll be moving to Omaha, Nebraska very soon for my next assignment with @aureusmedical at a family medicine practice starting November 6th. I’ll be there for 20 weeks into March!⁣

⁣Cannot be more PUMPED & grateful.⁣

⁣LFG🫶 Watch out Cornhuskers, this Boilermaker is comin in HOT!⁣

💛🖤🤍🚂 🤍🖤💛⁣”

Affirmation for you if it hits you in the feels at this moment in life. I know it does for me.

Cord Cutting for New Beginnings

“I release any & all negative past, present, & future energetic cords that are attached to me. I release any and all cords that no longer serve me. I call my energy back to me. I go forth new, recharged, healthy, happy, abundant, & full of love.”

Let everyday be YOURS, OWN IT, & NEVER APOLOGIZE for who you are.

This Ain’t My First Rodeo

I’m really drawn to smart people. Not just book-smart, but those who know a lot about life & themselves. In my words, “This ain’t my first rodeo.” 😝🤠

Those who are always looking to improve themselves & embrace their unique essence.

I like being with someone who knows more than I do & can teach me things. While it’s up to me to learn & grow, I appreciate being around someone who shares their knowledge with me.

I am so grateful for all of the reciprocal relationships in my life 🌹

Giving & receiving

Supporting & being supported

I don’t take them for granted & vow to be this person for someone else too.

📜 Life’s classroom teaches us invaluable lessons, here’s 4:

1. Embrace change with an open heart.💕

2. Learn from your mistakes; they’re stepping stones. 🏁

3. Cultivate gratitude; it’s the key to happiness. 🙏

4. Cherish relationships, for they’re life’s true treasures. 👑

That’s why the 20s are formative. You do things, f* k up, deal with the consequences. That’s what forms you.

It’s also how you learn & grow & how you change. You aren’t meant to go thru any season of your life with it all figured out.

Get out there, do stuff, choose the wrong things, f*ck up, fix what you can, don’t hurt people if you can avoid it, be kind, do better & more interestingly intentional next time.

Good morning, 𝓦𝓲𝓵𝓭 & Ｎｏｕｒｉｓｈｅｄ Blooms🌻

Use the Weekend To Build The Life You Want, Instead of Trying to Escape the Life You Have

I used to get wasted every Friday & Saturday (sometimes Sunday too). I used to wish my life away & only live for weekends & vacations.

Triggered much? 👀🤔😮💭🧐

I reflected upon this memory yesterday as I admired myself in the mirror at the gym. I looked myself in the eyes, smiled, & gave gratitude to life being much different now.

I joined a new gym @blessingwellnesscenter here on my current #travelxray assignment in #quincyillinois with @aureusmedical 💀☢️⚡️🦴🩻😷🏥🚑

Gym & I had a date night 😉 😘 🦾🦿🏋🏼‍♀️

I thought about how many beautiful moments of breath I could’ve used differently.

Point of this diary reflection👉 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲.

You know how they say they invest wisely?Invest your weekends!

A perspective is like a seed. If you get it right, sow it right, take care of it; it will yield you fruits.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power.

Most half a$$ their way through life, never deciding to master or enjoy anything in particular, especially those things that light your soul on fire!

🩵Learn something new!

🩵Adventure & collect experiences!

🩵Better your brain 🧠 & your body🫀🦾!

🩵Connect with yourself, nature, & other people!

Weekdays + Weekends = 7, not 5!

The shift to “investing” will happen once you start saying NO to a lot of usual stuff:

❌Say NO to those vapid people & energy suckers.

❌Say NO to unhealthy food & binge drinking.

❌Say NO to the “It’s Ok, it’s the weekend” attitude.

❌Say NO to late-night parties & networking with a crowd that doesn’t care &/or uplevel your being!

❌Say NO to all the things that don’t shift your perspective towards a better self!

Weekends are not an end. They are a beginning. But only when you change your perspective 🧠📈🌱🌻❤️‍🔥

Shocking Things Pictures Don’t Tell You. My Story (And Maybe Your Story Too)

“Pictures are worth 1000 words”…𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆?
𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦🫣 {Maybe you can relate}

💁🏼‍♀️I changed my approach to life…I don’t put myself in a “motivation space” I put myself in a 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂 space.

Do what you love. Eat what you love. Move how you love👉 & 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣👂 to what loves you back. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚜.

My most successful clients are the ones who have been through some shit yet still choose to be high achievers.

Because they know what it feels like to hit rock bottom. They know they don’t ever want to feel that way again & aren’t afraid to work hard to do & sacrifice to get where they want to be.

They want to be 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦. They believe they’re winners. And they execute.

This also means living a life authentic to them. It doesn’t mean having the biggest bank account with the fanciest clothes or lowest weight on the scale or heaviest weight on the barbell or looking a certain way. ✨It’s about embodying the person they want to be.

𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣’𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 {write that shizzle my nizzle, down}

This is why many high achievers have small circles & spend much time alone because they know how to weed out the bullshit. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 & 𝘦𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴, 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 & behaviors 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 decisions.

So if you need someone to tell you it’s gonna be OK, you’re not alone, you can do this, & you can figure it out➡️here you go.

Did you know:

I have Crohn’s disease, had cervical cancer in my mid 20s & am unable to have children. I suffered decades with bulimia, orthorexia, gallbladder attacks, kidney stones, surgery, & paralyzing gut complications. I spent the majority of my childhood, teens, & early adulthood, 55 lbs overweight, sick, & broke as fuck. I wrote a blog on my healing & weight loss journey here.

I eat a flexible “carnivore” diet because it serves me best mentally & physically — NOT because I think carbs are the devil, plants are the devil, or people who eat differently than me are wrong. I believe everyone has the right to eat & live as they choose. My priority now at almost 41 years old is longevity, feeling my best, all while looking good nekkid 😉 You can find my daily routine & “secrets” here.

Here are a few videos of simple, basic af meaty deliciousness I enjoy!

#meatbars saved my life!!

I know what it feels like to check out at the grocery store, have all of your cards declined, acknowledge you were broke as fuck, & stand there in tears & shame. I used to be over $40,000 in debt & had my car repo one time. I used to live out of my office & car & eat at hotels to save food on money.

Through these struggles, I learned to love & respect money, time, energy, & freedom. My clothes in this picture are from Goodwill. I shop at Goodwill because I love Goodwill not because I don’t have any money to spend on designer clothes if I wanted to.

It took over 11+ years of consistent social media content, fluctuations in my journey, & learning a lot of shiz along the way to build my platform to what it is today. It wasn’t something I set out to do intentionally it’s something that the Universe blessed me with. I am forever grateful for all of you and the gifts bestowed upon me.

It took over a decade of CrossFit, lifting, multiple cycles of muscle building, fat loss cuts, maintenance phases AND making a lot of mistakes to mold & create the physique you see today. Learn to be patient. It’s about playing the game, not the finish line. There is no finish line. Be an athlete of life. The bulletproof routine I’ve used to keep my body fat low for 4+ years is here on the gram.

I’ve been divorced twice, consider myself “self partnered”, AND the happiest & most fulfilled I’ve ever been. Lonely vs alone are 2 different things. I do have hope for the future that I find my aligned person who loves freedom and adventure as much as I do. The one who makes me feel the way I want to feel & I make them feel the way they want to feel.

I would coach & do Xray for free if money wasn’t a wonderful tool necessary for energy exchange & life because I love them that much. I value having purpose, I love working & I hope you guys have things in your life that light your soul on fire too!
