Can we talk about body positivity for a moment?

I am all for the body love and body positivity movement, but can we define for a second what it even is and what it looks like?

What body positivity is….
🧡Loving the woman God created you to be
🧡Honoring the body you have been given
🧡Giving yourself grace if you are not at your goals
🧡Taking care of your body with nutrient dense foods, sunshine, water, sleep, self care, relationships, movement, etc.

What body positivity is not…
✖️Treating your body like a garbage can
✖️Hating who you are or the body you have
✖️Negative self talk
✖️Punishing yourself anytime you “fall off the wagon”

We are all created uniquely and no two people are the same. The chances of you being born is so rare that you truly are a gift to this world, so it’s time to start treating yourself as such!!

I can help you lose all the weight in the world, but if you can’t wrap your mind around loving yourself as you are today, no pant size or number on the scale will change that!

Drop 🔥 below to make the switch from toxic body positivity to healthy body positivity.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “nourishment”?

Do you just think of certain types of food? 

Maybe water? Exercise?

To me, nourishment is the key to health. But probably not in the way you assume!

The way I coach to nourishment comes in 3 different ways:

Nourishing your mind
Nourishing your body
Nourishing your soul

Here’s what they look like in a very simple way….

Nourishing your mind = Learning new things, reading, goal setting, positive affirmations, getting in white space on a regular basis, etc.

Nourishing your body = honoring your hunger, fulfilling your cravings, moving your body with intention, eating a mix of whole foods daily, proper hydration, stretching, etc.

Nourishing your soul = For me that means connecting with God daily or whatever spiritual practice you choose, choosing gratitude daily, spending time in nature, doing things that just bring joy, deep conversations with close friends, etc.

Being intentional about incorporating something from each of these categories into your daily life is the secret to health.

You can’t just focus on one area, and completely ignore the other 2 as that will leave you empty, anxious, unfulfilled, tired, without joy, and so on.

Are you ready to start nourishing your mind, body and soul as part of your health journey?!

If so, then my new program The Habit Reset is for you!!

We will do a deep dive for 12 weeks on nutrition, nourishment, mindset, habits, self care/self love, ditching the diet life, goal setting and more!!!!

Do you even wake up from a dream that starts your day off feeling anxious?

That happened to me this morning.

There are a couple of events in the next week that I need to figure out logistics for and so in my dream last night both of those events turned to chaos.

While I know it was just a dream and both events will run smoothly, it still had my mind racing from the moment I woke up.

Then as I was doing my morning solitude time and opened my Bible app, this verse was the verse of the day. So I knew that I needed to share it.

There are debates and division on some heavy topics right now that I know are sending me into anxiety and I know you are feeling it too, so this is your reminder to give your anxiety to God.

He's a good and mighty God that cares deeply for you so spend some time with him and give your anxieties over to him 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Today is a special day!...

Not only is it this beautiful girls birthday, but it's her golden birthday!!!! 🎂✨

I can not believe she is 6 years old already. Where does the time go?

She is a free spirit, a little wild, lives in organized chaos, has the biggest heart of anyone I know and is my little bestie.

I love you sweet girl and I hope you feel so special today as we celebrate you

Is it just me, or does shampoo smell so much better when someone else washes your hair for you?

Must be the scalp massage that is the secret sauce 🤔

Ok let’s play a game…

I’m going to list 3 truths and a lie, and let me know which one you think is the lie!

1️⃣I was one of 7 kids growing up
2️⃣I can touch my nose with my tongue
3️⃣My favorite show is The Office
4️⃣I can’t whistle

Let’s see how well you know me 😜

Want to know a little secret to help eliminate frizz and split ends?

Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase!

This allows your hair to glide along it at night when you move around, whereas the cotton ones grab the hair as you toss and turn.

This little secret is also helpful in maintaining the longevity of your extensions.

What type of pillowcase are you currently using?

3 reasons why you should consider going non-toxic…

1️⃣We’ll start with the obvious one...to prevent cancer.
So we are all told about the effects of chemicals and toxins in our products and the fact that they cause cancer, but it happens more than you think. Many people that are diagnosed with cancer that isn’t hereditary in their family are told that the cause is their environment. Meaning toxic beauty products, cleaning products, and really anything you use on a regular basis.

2️⃣They affect your hormones.
Toxic beauty products can cause estrogen dominance in the body, which if you’ve ever struggled with hormone issues you know how hard this battle is and the toxins in your beauty products are not helping

3️⃣Have you noticed more and more people are becoming seemingly allergic to almost everything nowadays? Well constant exposure to toxins, paired with poor health habits are contributing to that. So if you suddenly become allergic or intolerant to something that didn’t affect you before, it’s likely that your body is trying to tell you to switch things up to a cleaner option. Intolerances can show up in the form of rashes, eczema, headaches, stomach problems, etc.

If you would like a peek into what I’ve switched to at home let me know! When you start making the switch the key is to start small. When a product runs out, replace it with a cleaner option.

If you’re already making the switch, I’d love to know your fave product

Tap that heart if so 😜

“How often will I need to buy new hair?”

Generally speaking, the hair lasts usually 9-12 months

But only if taken care of properly

That means;
-using the right products (this shampoo/conditioner is my fave)
-following the recommended care instructions given⁠
-staying consistent on your maintenanc appointments
-brushing twice a day

Have you been considering extensions, but still are on the fence? Send me a DM and I can answer any questions you have

Slow your scroll for just a second and check out this transformation!!!! 👉🏻

This beautiful client is a true rockstar

Not only is she an ER nurse working the front lines, but she has also taken control of her personal health in such a huge way which I am so proud of her and to watch her transformation has been incredible.

But the one downside of losing a lot of weight rapidly...
your hair suffers for a bit until your body goes into maintenance mode

As you can see in the before pic, you can see where its much thinner on the ends, but then also where it's coming back in much fuller.

She has been wearing beaded row extensions for about a year now, and with that she feels so confident all around

Tap that heart to show her some love 🥰
