I Wasn't Always Like This..

The ME four years ago would be drinking wine and bawling into a pint of ice cream on the couch basically every night. 😬 #truth

But, after a solid year of THAT... I made a firm decision. I had to at least TRY to get out of my depression, TRY to take back my health & ATTEMPT to get off the couch. 🙊 And I was SCARED AS HECK.

My husband had died a year earlier. He was 27. I was a SINGLE MOM (solo parenting) a BUSY almost 2-year-old at 26 years old. I had an auto immune disease that was KICKING MY BUTT. I was DROWNING in self pity. 😭

It would have been EASIER to continue to feed into the fears and the lies. That I would never get healthy. That I would never be able to create a good life for my daughter. That I would never be as good of a parent as my husband would have been. I’d already been living those lies for so long... (Since WAY BEFORE Nick died.) 👎🏼

But, you guys, I put my foot down & TOLD MYSELF... “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.”

I CANCELLED my pity party and decided to make a change. It STARTED with crazy soul change, a spiritual transformation that took a lot of hard work and had me working through a TON of pain. But I didn’t give up. 🙅🏼‍♀️

Eventually, THAT journey lead me to a place where I actually had the strength to figure out my health, to naturally cure my auto immune disease & find ENERGY to live life again. 💪🏼

And THAT... lead me to HERE. 🙋🏼‍♀️

I wrote a book about this EVOLUTION because I don’t want anyone else stuck on the couch that doesn’t want to be there. I run online fitness & nutrition accountability groups where I help people on their own journeys on the DAILY. 🏋🏻‍♀️

AND, I stumbled upon the second chapter to my first, Jay Galios. Someone I never expected to be in my life but somebody I won’t ever stop being grateful for. 🤗

I was asked the other day. What’s great about your life right now? And my answer, the one I wanted to shout from the rooftops.... EVERYTHING! 🤷🏼‍♀️#notevenlying

Not because my life is perfect, but because I can SEE the good in every moment.✨

Because I’ve realized NOW, that this life is so much more about what YOU make it. And your life will unfold in proportion to the COURAGE you enlist to get past your fears and build something better. 👈🏼

Do you think I’d be living THIS INCREDIBLE life if I had let my fears lead me? 🤔

The answer is no. I can tell you with absolute certainty. Just NO. 🙅🏼‍♀️

Are you living BRAVELY, my friend? Or are you numbing and taking the easy way out? The BEST VERSIONS of ourselves lie BEYOND our comfort zones. 💕
