Hey there. For a long time, I lived in a way that many people do. I looked outside of myself for fulfillment, approval, and purpose. I thought if I could just reach a certain milestone or get something that someone else had, I’d finally feel okay. But the truth is, that way of living is exhausting.
Hey there. Here’s something the fitness and weight loss world rarely tells you. All of those programs you’ve tried over the years? They were never meant to work long term unless they were built around one thing... your preferences.
Hey there. We all have an ego. It’s that voice in our head that places us at the center of every story, convincing us that we’re right, that we’re justified, and that the world should bend in our favor. And while having an ego is natural, letting it control our perspective can keep us stuck, repeating patterns, avoiding accountability, and blaming external circumstances for where we are in life.
Hey there. We often hear the advice to "stop caring what others think." On the surface, it sounds empowering—a call to ignore outside opinions and stand confidently in your own truth. But let’s be real: caring, at least a little, is part of being human. The key isn’t to stop caring entirely but to get to a place where you’re okay with not receiving approval from everyone.
Hey there. Weight loss is often portrayed as a game, but few of us are ever told how to actually win. We’re handed a set of rules, strict routines, and lofty goals disguised as the ultimate solution. “Follow these steps, adopt this mindset, and want it badly enough,” they say. Yet the reality of winning this game is far simpler—and far more personal—than we’re led to believe.
Hey there. We hear it all the time—just love yourself. But for many people, especially those on a weight loss or fitness journey, jumping straight to self-love can feel impossible. If you’ve spent years struggling with how you see yourself, trying to force self-love can feel like just another thing you’re failing at.
