The progress you don’t see in this photo matters most.

You see me with my boys, one is smiling, the other a little pouty (getting sick but we didn’t know).

But what you don’t see is:

❌ This was the first time in over 6 months that I felt a lack of control in my emotions BUT I was able to recover quickly using techniques I’ve worked on extensively 
❌ I wanted to see my family, so I was willing to modify nap time for my youngest (something I’d never do in the past)
❌ I was anxious being away from home all day with the boys, just me, wondering if I’d have the help I needed in order to facilitate their big emotions. But we managed and had an amazing time. 

The biggest transformation I’ve had hasn’t been about losing weight or mastering my nutrition postpartum. 

It’s been about how I think. How I treat myself. How I show up when no one’s watching. How I make decisions that give me anxiety, but I do them ANYWAY, giving myself a chance to work through the anxious thoughts. 

I’ve been doing the inner work. A lot of me can harbor and foster resentment and anger, but instead I start my day choosing love and light. 

My mentality used to be that everything was happening TO me, and I’m learning that I have so much control over my emotions, mental wellbeing and how I present myself. 

These are the wins that matter most to me. And they’re the ones I help my clients build, too.

As a ✨ NEWLY ✨ Certified Mental Wellbeing Coach, I’m so honored for the work I get to do daily in my own life to foster positive change in MYSELF… and now, my clients. 

If you’re working on the invisible stuff right now; the mindset, the patterns, the emotional load… Just know: You’re doing the hardest work there is.

Tell me one win you’re proud of this month, I’d love to celebrate it with you 🎉 🥂
