Part of being a woman is knowing that our bodies are constantly changing. And embracing these changes, from the moment we experience our first period to the transitions into menopause, is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of women. Each phase of this journey offers a unique opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By celebrating these milestones, we can foster a sense of unity and solidarity among women, creating a community where we uplift and empower one another.

Real beauty is about more than just how you look on the outside. It starts by taking good care of your body physically, mentally, and emotionally. But the most important kind of beauty comes from inside you when you love and accept yourself. When you have self-love, your inner light shines, and that's what makes you really beautiful. This natural and whole way of thinking about beauty doesn't just make you healthier, it also helps you feel confident, kind, and true to yourself, which are the things that truly show the beauty of your soul.

Knowing yourself well involves listening to your heart's desires and having the courage to follow your dreams. It means trusting your intuition, that inner compass that guides you towards what truly resonates with your soul. When you live authentically and pursue your passions, you become a shining example for other women, inspiring them to embrace their own unique paths. Being a role model isn't about perfection; it's about showing that it's okay to be true to oneself, to chase aspirations, and to celebrate the beauty of individuality.

Knowing yourself well involves a deep understanding of your physical and mental needs. It means recognizing when your body requires rest, nourishment, and exercise to thrive. Similarly, it entails nurturing your mental health by being mindful of your emotions, thoughts, and seeking the support and self-care that fosters mental well-being. When you prioritize both your physical and mental health, you create a harmonious balance that allows you to function at your best, contributing not only to your own well-being but also to the world around you.This self-awareness and self-care are essential components of living a fulfilling and healthy life.

Balancing the various roles of being a woman can be both challenging and rewarding. Intimacy is an essential aspect of our lives, fostering connections and emotional well-being. Motherhood brings the joy of nurturing and raising children, but it also requires patience and dedication. The responsibilities of work provide financial stability and personal fulfillment, demanding time management and dedication. However, it's crucial to be prepared for life's unexpected moments, as they can come at any time, necessitating adaptability and resilience. By finding harmony among these roles, women can navigate life's complexities with grace, strength, and a sense of purpose.

Three words that describe me.

Very Silly, Creative, and Friendly

One challenge I've overcome on my wellness journey.

Just as one example of many, I think learning to overcome my issues with confidence. During high school, I vividly recall overhearing a disturbing conversation some boys shared about a girl's intimate encounter at a party, focusing on her unpleasant “fishy” odor. This marked the first time I felt self-conscious about my own scent, though I had never thought of it before. These moments of self-awareness, whether about my body image, my abilities, undesirable smells, or physical changes, fueled my self-absorbed shame. What truly empowered me in my own life were the moments women around me gave me the gift of candid vulnerability. They shared their struggles and imparted valuable lessons, from confidence-boosting products they use to daily practices for mindfulness and wellness. By shedding light on their own experiences, it helped me to normalize mine, and feel safe offering the same willingness to open up about uncomfortable or shameful topics to others.

One challenge I've overcome on my wellness journey.

Probably getting back into my body and feeling my feelings. I’ve been go go go in my life and career since high school which resulted in a lot of stress and burnout. Ignoring my body and my emotions along the way led to a lot of disconnect to myself as a feminine woman. What I have learned is that slowing down and listening to what my body is telling me has led to more happiness, more acceptance, and more confidence. Honoring the divine feminine and listening to my intuition instead of doubting it has helped me make better decisions for myself, my health, and the health of my relationships. I’m a work in progress but I know I’m worth it.
