In the middle of 2023, I found myself buried under a mountain of work stress. Every day felt like a race against the clock, and I was losing it! I put so much focus on my job that I started to neglect my physical and mental well-being. The stress was overwhelming, and before I knew it, I was gaining weight rapidly. I felt lost and had no idea what to do 😟.

One day, it hit me that I couldn’t continue down this path. So, I made a bold move and left my job to focus on my health. It was a huge sacrifice—no income and a lot of uncertainty—but I knew I needed to take care of myself first. I started therapy, which was AMAZING (but it wasn’t all kicks and giggles at first). Those sessions helped me understand the importance of mental health and self-care 🧘‍♀️.

By January 1 2024, I felt ready to take another BIG step. I decided to document my journey on Instagram, hoping to stay accountable and maybe even inspire others. It wasn't easy at first…. Consistency has always been a challenge for me (hello, procrastination 🙈), but I was determined to stick with it. The more consistent I became, the more I realized how many aspects of my life I had been neglecting.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that health isn’t just about physical fitness. It's about taking a holistic approach—nurturing your mind, body, and soul. I’ve started exploring nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness practices to understand what my body truly needs. Every day is a new discovery, and I’m excited to share this journey with you all. Now, I’m committed to figuring out what works best for me and embracing a balanced, healthy lifestyle 🌿✨.
