MY STORY
I know you feel disconnected from yourself...
stuck in cycles of procrastination...
& let fear hold you back - I see you girl ...
Before I started prioritising self-care, I felt completely lost...
My self-esteem was at an all-time low, and every day felt the same - living with no intention, no direction, and no real belief in myself to achieve anything...
I doubted my worth, constantly compared myself to others, and felt like I was stuck in a cycle I couldn't escape...
I knew I wanted more, but I had no idea where to start. Every attempt to change ended in frustration, and I kept falling back into old habits that left me feeling even worse.
I came from a place where success wasn't normally achievable, there was just nobody in my upbringing who was chasing their goals that I could look up to...
Being surrounded in that environment made me believe that my dreams where TOO BIG, and that if I tried to fit in where I was, I would be happy.
But no matter how hard I tried to fit in, I never felt like I belonged...
I was underweight, felt very lethargic and extremely insecure...
I wore so much makeup to try and feel more worthy, & to fit in...
I used to party every weekend from the age of 17-22 and not get home until after 6am most nights, drinking alcohol and using drugs to hide from my feelings...
Had the worst relationship with food, I barely ate and when I did it was either hungover junk food or whatever snacks was at home. On days I planned to go partying or to an event with friends, I would not eat all day because I thought it would make me "look better" at the event...
(GIRL, I know 😔)
A mindset I had when I first started going to the gym was "I want to change the way I look". For years, I tried to become a person who wasn't even me. Look, act & speak like a "confident" person.
I would go to the gym and train for hours with no structure and then not go again for a week... I eat whatever I wanted without mindfulness or fear but then INSTANTLY felt guilt & regret and went straight back to the gym! - I viewed exercise as my punishment and my love for exercise became toxic.
All I wanted was to feel good enough...
I constantly searched for external validation to somewhat 'accept' myself... little did I know I was neglecting my needs, emotions & ignored all signs of self-care my body was screaming out to me.
I wanted so badly to feel confident in myself and stop overthinking every decision. To break free from self-doubt, anxiety, and fear of judgment. And to build real self-love and feel proud of who I am becoming. But I was going about it the wrong way...
When I began prioritising self-care in all aspects (physically, mentally, and emotionally) to become a better version of MYSELF...
RATHER THAN JUST FOCUSING ON CHANGING WHO I WAS... that's when I fully transformed & I revamped my life!
I built the confidence, clarity, and purpose I had been missing for so long! I rebuilt the trust with myself, and finally started feeling like me again!
Don’t be like me...
I spent too much time setting unrealistic goals — thinking I had to change everything about myself in order to be worthy of success.
I focused only on the physical results and ignored the emotional and mental side of my transformation. I believed that I had to look a certain way and follow strict routines without questioning whether they actually aligned with who I was.
I pushed myself to my breaking point, thinking that if I changed everything about my appearance & acted like those who are "confident", I’d finally feel happy, confident, and fulfilled.
But in the process, I lost me. I lost the joy, the peace, and the connection to myself that I truly needed...
Imagine a version of yourself who feels at peace, confident, and aligned...
A version of you that doesn’t have to sacrifice your happiness or well-being to achieve your goals.
You wake up every day energised, wanting to exercise to take care of your body...
wanting to practice journaling to take care of your mind...
wanting to build a lifestyle you truly love — not living to just survive!
Now picture yourself having the strength to set realistic goals that feel right for you, without comparing yourself to anyone else.
A woman who loves herself enough to take consistent action, but also knows when to rest, recharge, and honour her growth journey.
If I can do it, so can you!
This is your potential. This is your transformation.
