Everyone starts somewhere! All it takes is the conscious decision to love yourself enough to fully invest time in your health and well-being. There’s over a year and roughly 30 pounds difference between both of these photos, but a lot more has changed then just the number on the scale.

As physical health and wellness became my center focus and passion, so too did my understanding that mentality directly correlates to what we experience physically. Like bad habits, we must also learn to let go of toxic thought patterns that hinder our growth. Fall in love with the process, not just the end result. That’s what keeps you going even on the days when you really don’t feel like getting that workout in. And trust the process, because self-growth is a beautiful, never-ending journey.
