Bye 🤍💔❤️‍🩹

No fancy recap this year… goodbye 2025.
If I could sum this year up in one word, it would be growth 🤍
I’m proud of me, of who I am, and of who I’m becoming.
Still learning, still healing, still growing. 💕

If you could sum up your year in one word, what would it be?

I haven’t posted in a while because, honestly, the last few months have been rough. One injury after another—Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, ripping the skin on my dominant hand, re-injuring my foot and ankle—and all of it even worked up old back pain from walking unevenly. It made even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming, and it was discouraging after finally feeling like I was making real progress in my health.

But somewhere in the middle of all that frustration, I started focusing more on my nutrition and the parts of my health I could control, especially when movement wasn’t an option. And moving forward, I want to show up here a little differently—not just sharing the physical side of things, but the mental, emotional, and spiritual work I’ve been doing too. Nothing fancy or curated… just the little things I’m doing each day to become the best version of me.

*Also realized since not working out I don’t have any real recent selfies so enjoy these semi recent weirdos*

☀️ 🌊 A day to remember out of millions, A dip in the Caribbean Sea 🌊☀️


In all honestly, this trip, this experience, came at the perfect time. My mental health had been really suffering and my depression and anxiety were at an all time low.

Water has always been special to me, calming, a strong sense of connection to my soul. While back home it is always to go to the lake beaches to think any time day or night to hear the waves crashing. Being able to enjoy the ocean in all its majestic glory this past week has been monumental to me.

I realized and noticed how far I’ve come this past year, how much I have grown, how much I learned about myself and the people surrounding me, how to be more open and honest, how to truly enjoy being present, how to express my emotions with less terror. I’m truly in awe and in love with myself and it is absolutely stunningly beautiful. I’m crying as I write this, thinking all I have been through and have overcome. I am loving, loving me. 🤍🤍

One day these will be my before pictures 😍

I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. With all the life challenges, the injury set backs. It makes me feel like I’ve made no progress in the gym physically anyways. Except I’m choosing to continue to keep striving to be better. I’ve had tremendous growth in my mental health and how I respond to triggers. I still struggle A LOT!! I still experience high anxiety everyday - but I’m learning to manage it. I still struggle with depression, even more so noticeably on the weekends. I’m not here just to show my victories, I’m here to show the struggles. To be all of me for you, in hopes that even one person will feel a little less alone.

Goodbye January 🤍

You’ve been good to me, at times I wasn’t sure if I’d survive. It is hard to be out of therapy (insurance issues). I will be going back February.. but I’ve been reminded countless times this month how much my friends and family have there for me in ways I never imagined. In the midst of pain and heartache, I am thankful. 🥹 Continuing to work on myself daily. It’s not easy, I have to give myself grace sometimes because a body can only handle so much emotionally. I am so proud of myself. 1 month down, many more to go.

🧠 Continuing learning Spanish
🏋🏼‍♀️ Challenge my physical limits
🐕 Bonding experiences with Soko
👂🏻 Listening to myself - positive affirmations
🗣️Ignoring negative comments
👩🏼 Allowing myself to be me, all of me, unapologetically me. Dropping the weight of what others expect me to be, and just being me.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for your journey. It is your journey and yours alone. Your progress is yours own it. It may take longer than others want it too, it may take longer than you want, but slow and steady progress is beautiful. You’re not only shaping your body but your mind, your discipline, your thoughts, your attitude and feelings. You will become a better person during this journey. You can either love yourself and the body you made with your choices while you create your new body or you can hate on yourself, I choose the prior. I choose to love the body I am in, the body I created with my bad habits and I choose to continue to love it through the process of healing it 🤍

☀️Don’t mind me.. this is my only full length mirror..need to get my gym mirrors up ☀️

Happy Easter Peeps! 🐥

He is Risen - Matthew 28:6

God died for our sins, my sins, and your sins. All the ugliness you have gone through or have done. God died for YOU. It doesn’t matter what you do or have done. God loves you and forgives you 🤍 for that there is reason for joy and hope! ✝️

Has anyone ever tried this company? Thinking about the endless health benefits from both a sauna and an ice pod.

First time playing pickleball since July! It was very fun and fun to get out and play! I honestly love pickleball and have been looking for a league near me to join. A way to get in some extra exercise while having fun.

… Don’t mind my poor cardio… I’m working on it lol
