I plateaued 6 months into taking my anxiety medication 💊

I made the life-changing decision to go on Cipralex in June 2020. My mental health was at an all-time low, and I had lost the capacity to take care of myself. I knew that what I was experiencing was not sustainable. Something had to change.

It took a while before I experienced any noticeable changes. But sure enough, for the first time in YEARS, I was starting to feel better. Taking this medication helped me to feel safe in my body again.

👉 I had less feelings of nausea, especially in the mornings.
👉 I was experiencing SIGNIFICANTLY less frequent panic attacks.
👉 It was easier to focus (could actually read books again!!)
👉 I was sleeping through the night again, and I had more energy.

As amazing as it felt to finally have some relief, it wasn’t enough. I was physically feeling better, but depression was still weighing heavy on my spirit. I tried to increase my medication, but it didn’t seem to help. Just made me feel spacey and numb.

It was then I realized I needed to shift. Nothing changes if nothing changes. So I used my newly found energy to commit to my own personal development.

I invested in therapy.
I cultivated a deeper sense of community.
I invested in self-education.
I pursued my passions.
I read books.
I listened to podcasts.
I journaled often.

Just like the medication, it took some time before I noticed any real changes. But sure enough, with consistent effort, discipline, and patience, the depression began to lift. I no longer experience deep feelings of hopelessness. I no longer feel numb. I’ve regained my capacity to experience JOY.

None of this would have been possible if it weren’t for my commitment to personal development.

Are you feeling the call to shift your self-care to better serve you? Stay tuned, a new offering is coming soon ✨

- I've struggled with my mental health for most of my life, but didn't start taking a medication until nearly a DECADE after my diagnosis.

When I was first prescribed an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), I told myself I was broken. I didn't want to rely on a medication, because it meant that something was “wrong with me”.

And then when I studied to become a nutritionist, I believed I was a failure if I couldn’t manage my mental health without the assistance of pharmaceuticals.

Why am I sharing this with you? Because I know that I’m not the only one that has felt this way before.

My friend, if you have been struggling to manage your mental health, know that it is okay to reach out for help. It's okay to take a medication. It's okay to seek therapy. It's okay to put yourself first.

You can take your medication, AND continue to build your toolbox of self-care strategies.

You can take your medication, AND help others to feel better in their bodies.

You can take your medication, AND be a light that inspires others.

You are not broken. You are not a failure. You are simply human ❤️

This past year has been transformative.

I learned how to trust myself again. I learned how to advocate for myself again. I began to shed the layers upon layers of self-doubt that had built up over time. I’ve connected with who I am, and let go of what I’m not.

And now, I can feel myself expanding in a way that I never have before.

No more procrastination, because my dreams are worth showing up for.

No more hiding beneath the glass ceiling and limiting beliefs I created for myself.

I’m here to be unapologetically me. And I’m not going to stop.

Look out world, because here I come 🔥

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to be unapologetically you?

For me, it was today.

As I stood awaiting my train on this beautiful morning, I chose to have some fun.

I whipped out my lil tripod, found the good light, and worked my magic ✨

Were there people around? Oh yeah.

Did I give a f**k? HELL NO.

I’m no longer afraid to be seen, because I’ve done the inner work to accept myself for who I am, and what I have to bring to this world.

I’m no longer withhold from myself the things that bring me joy - even if that means taking selfies in front of a bunch of strangers.

People can watch. People can judge.

But IDGAF.

I’m not afraid of being THAT GIRL anymore.

And you shouldn’t be either 💃🏻

F**K YOUR COMMUNITY GUIDELINES 🖕

This is for the women who have been told to shrink themselves.

To cover their bodies.

To hide parts of themselves that they never asked for.

For the women who have been told what to wear, and how to wear it.

Your body is beautiful.

No matter what the “community guidelines” have to say about it 🖕

Y’all know I’m using some next-level skincare products. But did you know that diet and lifestyle can also contribute to the development of skin issues?

Our skin is our largest organ, and plays an important role in detoxification and elimination. When our bodies are experiencing an internal imbalance, eventually it will be reflected in the skin.

From acne, to eczema, dandruff, and more. Our skin is like a mirror, reflecting our internal environment.

Want to glow from the inside out? Try these practical tools + tips 👇

✨Stay hydrated! Drink 3-4L of water per day in the form of filtered water, or herbal teas.

✨Use a copper or silver tongue scraper. Our digestive system eliminates toxins in various organs, including our tongues! Tongue scraping is an Ayurvedic practice that removes the white / coloured film that can appear on our tongues. According to Ayurveda, this film is called ama - the sticky substance that is formed in our bodies and is the root of all disease. Think of ama like mucous - the more you have, the more your body is going to try to detoxify. I've been *consistently* tongue scraping since 2016, and my acne has significantly improved since.

✨ Consume lots fresh and/or frozen fruits and vegetables. The wider the variety, the better! Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to thrive. Need some inspiration? Check out my smoothies highlight!

✨ Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of freshly-ground flaxseed to your soups, smoothies, and salads to improve your intake of dietary fiber. Flaxseed also contains a special fibre called lignin - this fibre helps to eliminate excess estrogen in the body and supports healthy hormone balance.

✨ Move your body in ways that feel good. Our lymphatic system - which carries metabolic waste in the form of lymph - exists just below the skin alongside the circulatory vessels. Unlike our veins, muscles, and capillary beds, lymphatic vessels require movement in order to move the lymph to it's detoxifying system - the lymph nodes.
