Health Coach | Speaker | Writer | Welcome to my digital diary! I'm here to help you blend life & fitness to find your health & happy! Thank you for being part of my family & allowing me to add value to your journey!
Epiphanyđ¤ˇââď¸Feel Iâve reached the point in my life I comfortably/confidently embrace I really have no idea what Iâm doing but f*ck it Iâm doing it anywaysđđđ
Anyone else,feels, too?
Numerous occasions Iâve had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so, wellâŚđ¤ I just started doin stuff scared sh*tless.
Yupđmade a LOT of mistakes. But the beauty is you gain the data & experiences to make better decisions as an improved/wiser version of yourself.
I believe if I just keep going intentionally purposeful/hopeful as a kind/positive soul, everything will work out.
I think about the quote, âYou can do anything, but you canât do everything.â I acknowledge when Iâm trying to do EVERYTHINGâĄď¸which leads to burn out & then not wanting to do ANYTHING.
Iâm not comfortable being âin the middle.â Iâm either chill af or intense af. I thrive in extremes. I know theyâre dopamine hits.
I need the periods of doing less to do more. I need the contrast. I no longer have shame in this realization about myself.
Iâm constantly trimming & purging my life. To be honest I feel 2023 has been a year of unlearning, exploration, releasing, simplifying, & freedom.
I like having change AND routine. I need both to keep life grounded/interesting + vibrant!
I constantly savor deep connection + mental & physical stimulationđprofessionally, personally, physically, mentally, & relationally.
Iâm proud to be at the point in life where Iâm chill & content the majority of the time no matter what season.
Today I realized I donât run away from anything or anyone anymore. Iâm already gone from what I wanted to escape. I am home in myself.
Iâm home & running towards what comes next.
A CHAMPION to me is someone that loves the work of becoming one more than the idea of becoming one.
Friday morning feels𫶠đ˝ đ
Feel good to be home in Indy for a few daysâĽď¸
Fire up for @warrenzeiders tonight!! đ˘đ¤ đŞŠâ¨đ

One of the best pieces of advice thru my #selfhealingjourney was about how to manage it all. âOne day at a time.â
How?đ¤
đAcquire something that will fortify you against poverty (scarcity), against death (healthy living), loneliness (connection/love), stagnancy (personal improvement/purpose/service), etc.
Just make sure to do 1âď¸thing each day that positively moves your life forward. Thatâs it.
When I was younger, I didnât quite understand when I heard people use the phrase, âItâs like polishing up a turdđŠ.â đ(I still laugh, but thereâs extremely deep meaning to the comical reference.)
đđIf you do not enhance & heal yourself, you cannot enhance & heal your experience.
Finding joy, peace, self-awareness, & self acceptance ARE your answers. Itâs not a diet, a partner, a new relationship, money, or of singular worldly/material things.
đThe magic exists inside you. Youâre like a snow globe. You can flip yourself upside down & shake shit up whenever you want to experience the magic.
đYou can either become wise, or you can become wounded.
The wounded:
Gossip. Bully. Kill. React. Scarcity mindset. Negative inner/outer chatter. Pessimistic. Are oftentimes unhealthy/sick/overweight/broke/sad/lonely/depressed. Feel like heavy black clouds when youâre around them.
The wise:
Praise. Support. Accept. Respond. Growth/abundance mindset. Optimistic. Positive inner/outer chatter. Are oftentimes healthy/vibrant/more youthful/wealthy/happy/confident. Feel light/warm like a cup of hot cocoa & sunshine on a chilly day when youâre around them.
Donât get trapped in the logic of life, get trapped in the loving&living of life.
I think about the contrast of how I live my life now vs how I used to live my lifeâŚ
âŚpeople think Iâm crazy to do travel Xray b due to the constant change, nomadism, challenges, & the unknown. ( âtravel nurseâ life for those new here)
And ya know, I thought Iâd feel ungrounded & constantly homesick but Iâve never felt more authentically rooted & confident in myself, EVER.
Yes, it is a stressful af lifestyle. It changes constantly, Iâm challenged constantly, but Iâm experiencing WEALTHS of extraordinary emotions/skills/& real life sh*t that have filled my tool belt of life! Iâm constant collecting wisdom & memories.
Iâm (FINALLY imo) building a mudder truckinâ life right now. â¨
I didnât do this in the past. I lived on auto pilot. I didnât challenge myself daily. I stayed stuck in self sabotaging habits. I accepted my past story as my forever story, & in turn, I was lonely, miserable, overweight, sick, unfulfilled & aimlessly wandering void of the nourishing feels/experiences/fulfillment I desired.
Hopefully this helps you gain insight & INVOKE awesome-sauce & badassery inside of your snow globe.
Shake shit up.
Do it whenever you want.
I believe you!
You donât need to know or find your purpose to start living life. This is where we get things wrong. You need to simply start living + challenging yourself (& others/society).
I promise you will find the things that make sense, light you up & pave the golden path in front of you.
You donât find the yellow brick road by doubting yourself, Dorothy. Shake your globe, find your Ruby Red slippersđ â¨đ

Iâve always felt there was something magical about sunrises. I stood there sipping on my cup of coffee watching the orange & pinks move up thru the clouds over the Indiana fields.
With every breath I take the sky transforms just a little bit more colorful. Itâs as if I was watching a movie. But itâs the movie called âreal lifeâ.
There are so many things Iâm supposed to do before I head back to Quincy, Illinois for another work week at the hospital. Rounding out the last few weeks of my 13 week travel assignment.
But I decided all those things could wait. I knew I wouldnât experience this moment again. Ever. This moment, if not lived, is gone. Forever. And that is now how I approach life at 41 years old.
And so I stayed. Watched & marveled. I felt at ease. Filled with joy. Happy. Yes, I was happy. And Iâm sure I was smiling even though nobody was watching me.
I try my best to sip & savor every luscious drop of life I can. I call myself an âexperience collector,â unapologetically here to receive all the moments of loving. đđÂ
(Side note for my newbies, WELCOME BTWđŤś, Iâm a travel radiographerđ. Its easier just to say #travelnurse because most people relate & understand what that means đđđĽ)
Every sunrise begins with new eyes. The night can never defeat the sunrise. Iâve always been a âmorning person.â đ đŚ
A Sunrise – you can watch it, you can breathe it, you hear it, you can touch it, you can taste it, you can FEEL it. Every sunrise holds more promise, & every sunset holds more peaceâŚ
Have you ever woken up early to watch the sun greet you & bring a new morning?
Creatives of all shades (writers, painters, musicians, artists, in general) have always brought sunrises into their work, dazzled by their magnetism & power. Like a Muse.
Can you still remember the last time you were hypnotized by the smell of that first day of Spring, early in the morning?
Sunrises bring fresh new starts. Whether it’s rainy or sunny, dawn – or the first light of day – is a synonym for genesis.
Have you ever fallen asleep in the warm blanketing rays? Felt the magic & colors at the first rays?
Unforgettable right?! Theyâre experiences that add dimension to your recharge & rest â your essence & your BEing
This time of watching the sun rise above the horizon is something I will remember & fill another page of my storybook of life.
âThe secret to a good morning is to watch the sunrise with an open heart.ââââAnthony T. Hincks
Let the sunshine ignite & deliciously paint your soul today with whatever colors you need. âď¸đ¨đď¸
Enjoy a bit of my morning & thoughts that hopefully will shed some light on a new perspective this weekâď¸đŤś

I asked an elderly patient years ago, âWhat is the most important thing youâve learned in 81 years?â
And she said somethin Iâll never forget that I also heard on a past podcast,
âOne of the most important things Iâve learned is health is the crown on the well personâs head that only the sick person can see & wealth comes in other important forms other than money.â
Ooooof. Who else felt that? đ
She went on to say, âI wished I had changed my perspectives sooner. Mostly around the perception of being ârichâ & that in order to be seen as beautiful I had to be certain size & status.â
She realized she was always chasin a goal like being rich & losing as much weight as possible instead of embracing the experiences of the journey & being grateful for what she already had.
I donât know about yâall but I love spending time with the elderly. Theyâre full of magical wisdom. Itâs one of the most favorite gems đ of my job working in healthcare.
Simply walking & making my bed helped transform my life, lose 55lbs & keep it off.
[Itâs not what you think & this is what people donât tell you.] My healing story hereâŹď¸
When thinking about a #millionairemorningroutine & the routines of the fittest people on earth, it comes down to the reason AND intention behind their actions.
Letâs be real, simply making your bed is not going to help you lose the weight but being a person that LEADS & keeps commitments to themselves, WILL.
70% of leadership is how you lead yourself. There is a difference between leadership & management just like thereâs a difference between PREACHING & PRACTICING what you preach.
I intend to be a human that when someone talks about me I would hope that they would say, âShe makes me want to be a better person.â
Had plenty of wake up calls where I asked myself a few things:
How are you maintaining positivity in the face of negativity?
How are you setting goals & plans to execute?
How are you staying committed to yourself despite lack of motivation or judgement from others?
đĽPeople will follow you if you give them a purposeful reason to.
3 kinds of leadership:
1ď¸âŁPhysical leadership: Are you healthy & happy & nourished body, mind, & spirit to be strong & serve as a role model to others?
2ď¸âŁMental leadership: social media brainwashes & continuously puts what you want to see in front of you. What are you clicking on, subjecting yourself to, & what are you consuming?
Find the people you want to embody so you can learn from them & be better. Release the individuals who donât take you where you want to go.
3ď¸âŁEmotional leadership: The ability to stay balanced & even keeled in the face of negativity.
Know your mission & values. Your mission should be built on the foundation of your values.
âBe who you are & say how you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.â Dr. Seuss
5 things Iâve learned in 41 yrs Iâll leave with you in hopes of you learning sooner than I did:
âĄď¸Joy, purpose, fulfillment (JPF) vs fame, fortune, applause (FFA). Which would you choose? I choose JPF because if you choose JPF the FFA will follow.
âĄď¸Forms of wealth: self mastery, self awareness, family, health, your craft, personal development, money, time, freedom, charity, adventure, your circle of genius & environment
âĄď¸Donât lower your standards or standard of living to meet your income, live strategically within your means to raise your income & standards of living to meet your standards.
âĄď¸You are always replaceable within a company. Donât live for them &/or make them your identity. YOU make money for them. YOU are the gem & YOU create your own abundance. Take YOUR GIFTS with you & have the confidence to creat the life of YOUR DREAMS.
âTo live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell.
Our days are numbered, what are you gonna leave behind?
AbsâŚa pretty pictureâŚa pretty/handsome faceâŚmoney in the bankâŚtitlesâŚORâŚ
âŚđthe memories of your dream life well & wisely lived?
Reminders for today â¨
You donât owe anyone anything:Â
Your healing. Your process. Your happiness. Your peace. Those all belong to you.
Affirm this today â¨
I welcome the harvest with wide arms & with an unfastened heart! â¤ď¸đŤśđ˝đĽŠđđ¤˛đ§ââď¸
Mantra for today:
Abundance is all around me.
Abundance & Attractiveness are energies.
Abundance, Inner peace & Fulfillment are states of being.
Abundance & Reality are an existence I create.
Abundance is a gift from the Universe. I unlock the door & my vibration is the key đ đŞđŞ
Abundance shows up as money & in many other ways.
I AM grateful for the continual stream of Abundance flowing into my life.

A friend asked how they could pray for me this morningâŚ. Iâm not asked that oftenâŚ
âŚto be (grossly) honest & raw with myself (yuck. I donât like triggered feelings either, Iâm just like you)I feel itâs an uncomfortable, icky/weird trigger for me?! đ¤đ§ â 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. đ
Just because youâve healed doesnât mean youâre perfect.Â
Thereâs SO much depth to the phrase, âprogress not perfection.âÂ
Itâs not just a picture of your âstereotypical influencerâ posing in front of a mirror. (Because when you hear that phrase, I feel most of us, especially in the nutrition & fitness space, thatâs what we picture.)
I still have blocks around trusting people, both men & women. Although I always see the good in all things, Iâve 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 LOVEâ¤ď¸Â in (In whatever aligned color/form I need. I trust God & the Universe knows whatâs best for me)
To all my other peoples out here that are curious/betterment seeking/wisdom seeking/& a human/spirit that still strugglesâŚtake what you need, leave the restđŤś
Thank you to my friend that touched my heart & sparked the inspiration behind this message for me & yâall out there. In that moment I realized, âKatie, you give to so many people, do you let your guard down to allow other people to love & take care of you?
Gut check momentâď¸
My response to my friend (& you can use this too)âŚ
âPray I have the strength & the love in my heart to be open to make peopleâs 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.â
Oftentimes it takes a gut check moment to turn up the thermostat in yourself to rise like a phoenix đŚ đĽâ¤ď¸âđĽ to transform your identity in the most ferociously, fierce, nourishing, delicious way possible đ
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.

These are my favorite sparkly PJ pants. They came from @target Little girls size 14. They are not âflatteringâ at all & I could give a shit less. A former version of me would not wear these because I didnât look âskinnyâ 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 Iâve been a lot of versions of me! đ)
Iâve 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 Iâve been all shapes & sizes & everything in between. (đźđ˘đđđđđđđ/đđđđ/đ đđđđđ đđđđ đđđđđ˘ đđ đđ đđđ đđđđ đđ đđ˘ đ¸đś đđđ) link below đ

Book suggestionđPlease read đđĄđ đ đ¨đŽđŤ đđ đŤđđđŚđđ§đđŹâŚchanged 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.
Letâs get real here (yâall know if youâve followed me for a while thatâs how we roll)âŚđI used to be a sick, overweight, unhappy, lonely, broke bitch. đ¤ˇââď¸It is what it is.
We donât filter around here because real life isnât filtered. Itâs dirty, itâs beautiful, itâs pain, itâs pleasure & every shade of 50 shades of fucked up AND amazingness & everything in between. âď¸âď¸ đ đ¨đąđšđĽ
Life:
Itâs death. Itâs rebirth. Its peaks. Its valleys. Itâs sunshine. Itâs rain. The only thing that is guaranteed is that things are going to change.
Iâve 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 wayđ I do everything this way.
This is what my MO means when I say âI donât do rules I do what feels right.â
Straight up, Hereâs whatâs 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 MISđŤaligned in Vibrationđ´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, etcâŚ
âŚyou donât feel safe, seen, heard, understood, accepted in your life/body/relationship/job/whatevs you wanna out here. You lack purpose & are confused af. Youâve lost yourself. You donât 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 didnât 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. đĄ đ
đ¤Go first & just be weird.
You need communication AND connection. You can have one without the other which leads to imbalance. Stop the âshame spiralâ.
Steps to building a non-anxious, vibrationally aligned life:
#1 â Choose YOUR TRUTH & reality.
#2 â Choose true connection with yourself & others.
#3 â Choose freedom & joy in every sense of the words!
#4 â 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. đŤś

Today’s Message & Ponderings: Breaking cycles, color therapy, attracting health/abundance/love by the way you dress (present yourself), current obsessions, what Iâm most proud of & life realizations
đŁď¸On breaking a cyclesđchanneled messageâŚ
Themes for October: clearing out the cobwebs & RE LAUNCH!
A âLFGâ. 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. Itâs not out of reach anymore, Itâs here. This eclipse portal is going to provide you with so much insight, wisdom & understanding (even if you feel like you donât 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 âshouldingâ all over yourself?
Donât be angry if youâre not getting the results you want because youâre 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?
Itâs ok. It takes time to develop & bloom. The valleys allow you to feel where you donât wanna be to give you the energy to ascend up the mountain to a better destination, your âpeak.â đď¸đđ
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 doesnât have to be mean or hard or harsh. It just is.
In the current world today weâre 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.
Youâre back, but youâre different.
Youâre always a different version of yourself. So itâs OK if you repeat cycles, just observe the energy around the cycles & why theyâre happening.
Maybe youâre meant to go through those cycles again as a different version of yourself. Itâs 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 donât want/need something without feeling you have to explain, resting.
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 donât 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 đ¤đ¨đââď¸)
I find I am typically drawn to bold, bright colors & neutrals.
I donât typically like dark colors or black. I used to wear a lot of black when I was younger. Iâm aware now this was because I wanted to hide, I didnât feel good about myself, & I thought I looked skinnier in black, which came from a scarcity self loathing mindset.
I find I get the most compliments when I dress in: Sparkles, Blue, Red, & Pinks
Our aura colors change based upon how we feel. Iâve 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 Iâm at the gym because Iâm so sensitive & it helps me simply focus on myself more.
Itâs âweirdâ but I can sense whatâs going on in someoneâs 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 isnât 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)
đ§żđ§ Personal observations at this snap shot in storybook time
Proud of myself for being unattached to things, people & places. (For youđResearch stoicism. Thatâs your homework if youâre not familiar đ) 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 donât 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 Iâm 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 donât 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 doesnât matter what job Iâm doing or task Iâm doing, I simply like doing things, learning, being productive, connecting with people, taking care of people & as long as Iâm satisfied in what Iâm doing, everything will be amazing. I love being physical & mobile & moving energy.
I donât 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 peoplesâ 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.đĽ°
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 peopleâsâ 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.

đđźđ Dream girl. Sheâs all that. I wanted to be her. You know the sceneđWalking down the stairs. đśđKiss me playing. Freddie Prince Jr. staring in awe as Lainey walked down the stairsđĽšâŁ
I LOVE the human body & admiring women embracing themselves with confidenceâŁ
đď¸Shared a podcast in IG stories today around the subject of becoming the #dreamgirl by @iamsahararose âŁđ
âŁ
Think about it, are you triggered when you see someone in a bikini/sharing appreciation for their bodies?âŁ
âŁ
My idea of being a dream girl, now, at 41, is embodying a healthy, happy, vibrant, loving, RAWTHENTIC (yes, I made that word up đ warrior & a walking piece of art! I define ME.âŁ
âŁ
I can be beautiful with no make up on or extensions AND embracing my creative expression with external art like extensions, filler, & make up. âŁ
âŁ
The way you FEEL about yourself affects the way you show up AND how youâre treated. It really has nothing to do what you look like but everything to do about the energetics around how you feel internally & project outwardly â¨âŁju
âŁ
You can be the #ITgirl or guy no matter what you look like. âŁ
âŁ
I have met some aesthetically BEAUTIFUL/attractive people, yet they were the ugliest mofoâs Iâve ever met because their personalities, energy, & heart were dark & cruel & ego consumed & troubled.âŁ
âŁ
Take the photo, have the #photoshoot đIt crystallizes the loving moment of youđŤśâŁ
âŁ
F*ck it, be extra. I wear whatever outfits I want, no matter how EXTRAđŚđŞŠ because it makes me feel like a goddess warrior!âŁ
âŁ
I want this feeling & confidence for you from the bottom of my heartâĽď¸âŁ
