What is wellness anyways?

Wellness is a state of being, but it's different for each person. It has more to do with attitude, adaptations, acceptance and overall lifestyle.

Let's be done with perfection, comparison and constantly feeling like you're falling behind with your fitness and diet goals.

Instead lets embrace Gentle Wellness, where you find traction on your health but not at the expense of your sanity. We are humans after all and are allowed to ebb and flow.

This is a reminder that you can pick up where you left from, but with more grace towards yourself.

So tell me, which decision about wellness do you need for yourself today? 🔽

“Is your body beach-ready?”

Wrong question. 👇

“Is everybody ready for the beach?”

Much better! 👆

Today, you’re the youngest you’ll ever be.
Today, you have the most energy you’ll ever have.
When you look back to today, you’ll say, “Look how thin/muscular/svelte/young I was! And I thought I looked (insert something not so good)!”

Don’t hold back on the experiences you desire just because you feel you don’t look the part.

Accepting your body AND working to get healthy can co-exist!

Having your heart be what matters the most AND being discipline to exercise can go hand in hand!

It’s not either/or.

It can be both.

So love your body and get moving!
Beaches, hiking, photo shoots, weddings, graduations, showers, holidays, and all kind of wonderful experiences await you.

Who will you become when your foundation is shaken?

I’m spending a few days in Miami, where I call “going back home”. I was thinking today on how we are constantly writing our own story. Most of the time, we aren’t even aware if it. I’d venture to say that during difficult and overwhelming times, the thought that we can decide how to react to life and “write our story” is the farthest thing in our mind.

Eventually, the waters settle and you realize the impact on your decisions and where they took you.

That’s why it’s important to chose the following carefully:
✔️ what you’re putting in your mind
✔️ the “comments” people make around you
✔️ the priorities of the people around
✔️ your spiritual journey

For me, Miami is where I started to build a foundation as a young adult + where my favorite people (and food!) are.

I’ve moved to different places and learned many lessons. But returning home and being reminded of that initial foundation I set is pretty amazing.

Though at times, I’ve felt my foundation has been shaken- it hasn’t lasted forever.

Eventually, I realized that my foundation wasn’t being shaken, but being repositioned to my advantage! You see, growth is part of living.

I hope you grow well, too! 😘

I'd love to work with you!

Don’t quit when you don’t see the results as fast as you’d like!

Every thing in life that is worth having, is preceded by hard work.

You name it:
✔️ Fitness
✔️ Relationships
✔️ Personal projects
✔️ Mothering

Instead of finding a reason why you shouldn’t quit; ask God for wisdom, clarity and energy to do the good work in front of you.

Always cheering for you, Rockstar Mom! 🥳

Myth: If you treat kids with too much kindness, they won’t be able to handle the tough world outside.

Gimme a 🙅🏻‍♀️ if you disagree!

We teach kindness to our kids by *how* we correct and instruct them and also by how we respond to their shortcomings.

Kindness is first and foremost modeled and then it’s follow up by words that build them up.

Kindness is also teaching how to put boundaries because we train people how to treat us. When we speak to them in truth and love, we communicate that they are valuable and loved by God. No one should treat them any less than that! How’s that for preparing them to take on the world?

These are the words that they will tell themselves when they experience failure, sorrow, rejection and when their patience is tested... as an adult.

Kindness is crucial for a Rockstar Mom!

⬆️ The ultimate affirmation! ⬆️

What is hard right now?

What seems impossible?

What have you been trying and “failing” at for a long time?

Where are you doubting?

When you know on Who’s team you’re on...
And when you know that your Father is for you and not against you- the narrative changes!

The book of Romans, from the Bible encourages us that, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

So Rise Up Rockstar Mom! Nothing is against you, when you have the mighty power of God.

Our school year has started: 3 days in-person Montessori school and 2 days homeschooling.

It’s fascinating to get to experience a little bit of both world!

Here are my best tips for the schooling options out there:

➖ Online setting:
Meet the kids’ needs before they log in. Give your kids a snack and a drink of water beforehand. Make sure they use the restroom. Finally, sit down at least 3-5 minutes before the designated time to avoid the kids feeling rushed.

➖Homeschool:
It’s impossible to recreate “school” at home. Instead use YOUR gifts, talents and personality to the advantage of teaching academics and character to your kids.

➖In-person school:
Perfect love casts out fear. If you made this choice its because you weighted everything and because it’s allowed where you live. Practice good hygiene and tune into how your kids are absorbing their new surrounding.

However you’re doing school, I SEE you. I see you being a Rockstar Mom!

My journey as a Life + Wellness Coach.

💟 For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed good and nourishing foods, being active and interested in listening to people’s stories.

💟 When I was a teenage, my dad was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Not only did he treat it with proper nutrition, but he took the whole family to visit a nutritionist. When I walked into her office, I knew that’s who I wanted to be.

💟 When all my friends graduated from high school and began to study business majors, I went for a science major. I picked dietetics and nutrition.

💟 Dang it, it was hard! But I was diligent. At one point, I was serving at church over the weekends, working a part time job, studying full time and training for a triathlon!

💟 When I got married, life took a different direction. I didn’t finish school and that was very difficult. What was all that work for?

💟 Wellness Coaching wasn’t around at that time. But God was preparing me to understand hardship, broken dreams, and unmet expectations. But most of all, I got to practice resilience, grit and perseverance. With pride, you can’t see past your own plan. But with humility, other paths open up and guess what? They’re even better!

💟 When I was pregnant with my third baby, I studied for a Wellness Coaching certifícate from Spencer Institute. “If I like it,” I thought. “I could pursue coaching.” I fell in love with it!

💟 So, I became a certified Coach. I learned so much about first being coachable myself and how to help my clients achieve their dreams by holding space (coaching term for listening without judging) and ask powerful questions to understand themselves and their goal better. Thank you, Beautiful You Academy, for such a powerful training!

💟 I created to help women restore their broken dreams and to know that they can be resilient in what they’re after. The road may not look like you planned it, but with humility and by being coachable you can find something even better!

September is famous for going back to school, the beginning of Fall and all things pumpkin spice 😬🍁.

May love (and not fear) be what drives you this month. So as you teach, as you set up your kids’ materials, or log into their distance learning school, and as you experience your first melt down over school- may love keep you going.

So that.

So that you are able to see your kids’ amazing talents, witness their brains absorb useful information, watch them stretch into studying in a new setting and make en effort every single day.

May the month of September greet you with love. 🧡
