## Caption

1 MILLION 🎉 I could not gloss by this milestone without saying thank you to YOU—my community. I started this account over 8 years ago—sharing not-so-good photos (okay, they were straight up UGLY 😏), but with a deep passion to CONNECT and share my story. I was at home, on maternity leave, creating more nutritious versions of the foods that I previously binged on and I was finding joy and healing in food. I was also talking opening about my ED recovery in the hopes of helping others. Over time, the KJ community grew and I was given a greater sense of purpose.⁣
⁣
Over the years, I expanded my skill set. I taught myself how to use a camera, I invested in courses, and I posted consistently—daily—for 8 years. I live it and I breathe it, sometimes a little too much 😮‍💨. On the outside, it looks easy; but there is so much hard work, many, many tears, some self-doubt and at times, imposter syndrome. It’s all part of the creative process, and when looked at with a bigger lens, IT IS SO MUCH FUN :)⁣
⁣
This job is something I do take seriously and it means a lot that I have earned your trust over the years. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come into your homes and lives—for making my recipes and trying my tips and sharing them with your family and friends! ⁣
⁣
And if there’s anything you take away from KJ, it’s that you can have your cake and eat it too!!!! #kalejunkie
