Just A Mom.🫶🏻

I have been a mother for 16 years and this phrase has made me feel so insecure about myself.

Lately I have become very introspective about my life and the choices I have made. One of the choices that has defined most of my life was to get pregnant and have a baby at 16 years old.

From that moment on my life was shaped by the title “Mom”, every move I made had to be thought through and always with careful consideration of the babies in my life.

I do not regret anything….but I realized that I let the excuse of being “just a mom” stop me from being something else as well.

We are all MORE than just moms, we have desires, bucket lists, thoughts, feelings, and talents that are outside of the ability to mother our children well.

I needed this reminder ……a reminder that I can still become something and still be a good mother. I don’t have to hide underneath the title of motherhood or use it as an excuse not to try to become more.

Just some rambling thoughts about life that I thought I would share.

What are some thoughts and feelings you are struggling to overcome this year? 🤔

The last couple months have been strange and uncomfortable. 😳

So many things in my life have shifted and sooo suddenly that a feel like I have a bit of whiplash.

Sometimes it’s ok to not have all the answers, to search for clarity through the chaos. Im in such a strange head space these days.

BUT I know that through it all I’m just going to keep moving. 🫶🏻 Sometimes all we can do is sit back and weather the storms. ❤️

3 truths and a Lie!

✨I became a mother at 16 years old, had my first baby at 17yrs.
✨I wanted to become a musician and it was one of my career choices as a kid.
✨I’ve always loved fitness and health
✨My husband and I dated for 2 yrs before marriage.

What’s your guess on which one is the lie?

There was once a time when I would have never considered taking a picture of myself after a workout. 🏋️‍♀️

I felt that I was too overweight and that there wasn’t really anything all that interesting about me.

I started to really see changes in myself when I allowed myself to start tracking my progress through photos.

It was very slow and gradual but I started to see changes and I noticed that I started to be kinder to the women in the mirror.

I started to cheer her on, I started to try and build belief in her and allowed myself to pour a little bit of love into her everyday.

If you don’t know where to start on your health and wellness journey ….start by working on being kind to the women you see in the mirror.

I’m learning to show up differently in my life💃

It can be quite painful to approach all your negative habits and all your negative thoughts and try and turn them around.

Over the last few months I jumped into a lot of personal growth and development. It’s been VERY overwhelming. I’ve had to take a good look at myself and accept that I have a lot of work to do if I want to get to my dreams.

I know that they are just on the other side of all the negative thoughts and stories that I have been feeding my mind.

I’m committing to daily personal development so that I can help my team and I grow and get to a place of a abundance.

What are you committing to in the next 30 days to push you forward towards your dreams?

Learning to keep the promises I make myself has been one of the hardest thing to pay attention to.

I was shocked when I sat and realized how many times I told myself I would do something and then looked back and realized I forgot or pushed it until last….. day after day.

When I first made a decision to listen to the promises I made myself and try to follow through. I realized that I was letting myself come last all the time!

It’s been a slow learning process because I still have so many people and projects in my life and it’s easier to just put myself on the back burner.

Today was a good day full of fun and good company. It was good to remember to allow myself to go do a fun thing with my sister and even though I was on a pretty strict eating plan, I was able to go out have fun and enjoy a delicious meal that went along with my eating plan.

Do you keep the promises you make to yourself or is it something you forget to look at?

We have some new faces! So welcome! 😁

Let me introduce myself since it’s been a bit and we have some new faces showing up all the time.

✨I am a mother of 6 beautiful children 5 girls and 1 boy who I homeschool.
✨A wife to a wonderful man who is always so supportive.
✨A fitness and health partner who helps women grow a business while working on their own health and wellness from home.
✨A Student Midwife, working towards my Bachelor degree
✨A gardener and hobby homesteader
✨I love the outdoors

I started this instagram page to show up and stay accountable with my wellness journey and to find like minded women who also were interested in focusing in on their health and wellness and earning some extra income from home.

But I also love to share about the many different faces of my life. Because there are quite a few and I have always had many different interests and hobbies. I have refused to pick one just because it was hard and makes me busy.

In fact I love being busy and industrious, I really thrive off of activity and movement. To me MOVEMENT is LIFE and without it we are stagnant and dead. This is a huge reason why health and fitness is such an important aspect of my life.

Welcome to my page!

P.S. if you came to this page for pretty photos I just have to say this may not be your scene! I have 6 kids my life is a beautiful disaster, and my photos are usually showing the realities of my life which is very rarely clean and organized although I do try. 😅
