Thank you to the woman in the second picture for never giving up.
There have been so many times over the past 6 years where it would have been easier to quit… but somehow, I kept going.
Nobody tells you when you start a journey like this that it’s not just physical. You have to dig deep and face the parts of yourself that got you there in the first place. That’s been the hardest part.
There have been highs and lows, but it’s taught me so much about who I am. I’ve learned to protect my peace and energy, to set boundaries, and to practice self-love — not in an egotistical way, but in a way that means being kinder to myself and accepting that it’s okay to put myself first sometimes.
For so long, I lived in survival mode, always waiting for something to go wrong. Learning to let go of that has been one of my biggest lessons.
Looking back at old photos makes me feel sad for the time I lost, and vulnerable… like I’m still that person. But I’m not. I’ve worked hard to become who I am today.
I didn’t do this alone. I’ve had so much support along the way and so many people I’m thankful for.
Working with Kat Wilson this past year has been exactly what I needed — you came into my life at the right time, when I felt a bit lost and was at a really low point in my life. You understood me from day one, physically and mentally, and I’m so grateful for you ❤️. I can’t wait to see what’s next working with you.
The last picture is of my boys ❤️ they’ve always been my strength. My safe place. With them, I was always just “mum,” no matter what. (They’ll probably kill me for posting this 😂)
Anyway, this is just an appreciation post because I’ve never truly given myself credit for how far I’ve come.
I won’t lie, it can feel overwhelming sometimes. My mind is still catching up with my body… but I’m learning to appreciate myself more every day❤️
