Fitness is not about the perfect body.

It's about being healthy and feeling amazing. It's about having the inner strength and self motivation to live life's greatest adventure. It's about feeling relentlessly beautiful.

#ad Do you find yourself struggling to consume your probiotics when life is on the go? I DO! I'm always on the hunt for a good probiotic that works well with my modern day lifestyle, that's always on the go! I love that @daprobiotics are gummies because it makes it fun and easy to consume. Don't get me wrong I love a good bottle of kombucha or yogurt when it comes to filling myself up with the good germs for my gut health, but some days I just can't find the time to sneak in all the foods I need to amount to one @daprobiotics. Two gummies from Digestive Advantage is survives better than 8 cups of the leading yogurt brands* which means I'm all set filling myself up with all I need to support my digestive and immune health. Give Digestive Advantage a try and take the #DigestiveAdvantageChallenge. — *This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Redefining my sexual power. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I dealt with sexual trauma at an early age, two incidents at 8 and 15. Although I won’t go into detail because it’s painful to relive some of those moments, what I will share with you is the confusion I felt with my sexual power and the years trying to regain that power back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For years I didn’t know what to do with my body. It was changing it was evolving. I was growing boobs, puberty hit, I got my period, and all of a sudden I was a young lady. And then I became attractive to the other sex. Because of my sexual trauma I painted this story in my mind that sex was for the pleasure of a man and not for me. I thought it in order to receive the love and healing that I needed, I was supposed to give my sex away OR keep it hidden from everyone including myself. I carried guilt, shame, and a broken spirit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After becoming a mother something happens, for some a strong sense of empowerment and for others, like me, you begin to tell yourself a new story. That story for me was that a mother could not be a creature of desire. Now my sexual power was turned into a tool of procreation. The feeling of shame for my changed body began to fill me up once again. I felt as if my the sexual creature I discovered was destroyed by birthing a child. Let’s not forget the sleep deprivation, the lack of libido, the lactating boobs, and the stretched out skin and body parts. I felt disconnected with myself and with my sex. And instead of seeing myself as this powerhouse I was reconnecting with the young girl who carried all this sexual trauma and pain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last year during some of my hardest months in my marriage we worked through our issues of intimacy vs sex. And one thing I had discovered was that I still am that creature of desire I just hid it not from my partner, but from me. I’m slowly learning to accept that I am a sexual creature who has the capacity to love fiercely. And that I don’t need to carry my trauma or pain to protect me and that if I can learn to embrace these parts of who I am that I am deserving of love and pleasure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My new story: I am worthy to be liberated in my own self and I am whole. #womaninprogress
Evolution starts with LOVE. #womaninprogress ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Throughout my wellness journey I learned that the one thing you needed to transform your health is probably the least most talked about. It's not motivation, determination, discipline, or any of the other traits you probably are thinking of. Although those things are incredibly important they are not the greatest thing you need. I've found that the one thing you need in order to transpire change is forgiveness and LOVE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just a reminder: YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. ✨You’re doing the best you can with the strategies you’ve been given.✨ Where you are right now in life is exactly where you need to be and the beauty about life is that we have the ability and opportunity to pick up new strategies every single day to change our lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So today I encourage you to ask yourself: What is the story you are telling yourself? Is it serving you? What is a new story you can tell yourself? #womaninprogress ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ pc📸: @encarnacionphotography #selflove #selfacceptance
