🤘🏽⚡️ never forget where you started... ⚡️🤘🏽

Nothing like scrolling through the camera roll and finding an old gem this pic was from my first ever shoot for a boxing fitness studio I was teaching at. I had no clue how to make a great class, frankly, I was too broke to pay for or even get into LA fitness classes with the top talented instructors as inspiration so I just did me: gritty, imperfect, with a love of boxing and it’s science and with a goal of making people recognize the power they have and what the sport had taught me. 

I had no idea this would lead to my career path; to a new city, to an incredible community and to learning to accept myself (mental health issues/ flaws and all). It was a massive risk, one a very “by the book” perfectionist  my former self would’ve never gone for...but life threw me for some massive knock down moments and a necessity to innovate— only to lead me toward something greater.

Today’s message: know your value. Often it’s easy to forget in comparison to the daily challenges but take a moment and look at the bigger picture: how FAR you have come, all you have learned, the resilience and perseverance you’ve developed and the humanity you’ve gained in the process. 

Know your value. Accept your worth with confidence. Invest in your growth.

...and have a little faith that what you believe you are capadblw of is a gross understimation of your actual ability.
