Living a healthy lifestyle is what this is all about at the end of the day. The happiness you feel on show day, is happiness you deserve to feel year round💜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So...Define healthy for you, define what type of relationship you want with your body, goals, others, food, EVERYTHING.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then choose to enjoy your life by fueling the body that carries you through it with love and care that supports those definitions of a healthy life!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And remember, Health goes beyond the surface. Focus on bringing other aspects of your health and life into your priorities and figure out how to achieve these goals while still staying on top of your physique enough to crush it next prep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just because it may feel hard today doesn’t mean it always will be...your struggles today are providing you an opportunity to redefine your tomorrow with more strength and ability!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Totally get what I’m talking about but haven’t been able to find this freedom for yourself yet?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to experience the freedom to live out the definition of health you crave so badly?

​Show day has come to an end...You get off stage & can’t wait to finally sink your teeth into those treats you’ve saved for victory night.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You get a taste & realize that the wait has been worth it/now you can enjoy! Saturday night you celebrate. Sunday you have brunch, lunch, & dinner in an effort to ‘squeeze as much in’ before the reverse diet starts on Monday. But when Monday comes around you think, “oh I guess I will have this snack I’ve always said no to at work” or “oh I totally forgot about this yummy treat I saved! I’ll have a lil piece”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soon you start feeling guilty because you had set the intention to be perfect! But even with macros, a meal plan, or all the will power you somehow can’t help yourself. But, Here’s the deal. After a show, after all of the prepping w/ will power, & discipline...a simple ‘I’m on prep’ isn’t what is going to save you anymore. Unfortunately, we just don’t work like that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have to rewrite your identity & belief systems.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without a show in the near future we have to be diligent to switch our expectations of ourself & rewrite our food story. We must shift our relationship with food so we can grow w/ it. This doesn’t mean we eat all the crap that comes our way but it does mean we start to open our minds more. In order to feel at peace around food, we must believe that food is not our enemy & we’re definitely not at war w/ our body!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are in an awesome world of competitions but we mustn’t let this cloud the vision & service provided for us through our body... THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Binging, restricting, overeating, purging it all w/ cardio or less food, trying to justify every move you make IS NOT HEALTHY. Period. Your mental health, fulfillment, stability, & self-acceptance matters...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re struggling with this right now, have in the past, or fear that you might, It’s not too late to sign up for my new program and say goodbye to the post-show blues forever since we will be diving deep for 8 weeks into healing your relationship with food, yourself, & your body.

When I am immersed in nature is when I feel most connected to my soul.


Nature reminds me that there is purpose beyond the screens, daily routines, and all of life’s fluff. Nature has always been my favorite healer.


When I was extremely depressed with suicidal ideations the first thing I put on my ‘things that make me happy and I need to make more time for’ list was nature related (stargazing and hiking to be exact).


Nature cleanses us with water, grounds us with earth, restores our breath with the wind, removes darkness in my mind with the sun’s rays, and inspires me through the way it all works together, beautifully and purposefully.


The earth is our planet, and it is part of a galaxy, which is part of a universe and we can never fully understand or fathom all of this and the deeper we get the deeper we realize we have to go.


As I walked through the forest with sounds of birds, running water, warm sun, and cool shade surrounded by such lovely souls I found myself in the deepest state of gratitude.


I wrote a reflection journal and one line which I’d like to reveal here is: “This weekend I learned that the climb, spontaneity, and open mindedness is always worth it. I realize how supported I am and how abundant my life has a l w a y s been. I am truly blessed beyond belief”.


I took a leap of faith and reached out to my friend Fiona Kenney to see if I could come visit her.
We planned a very short and spontaneous trip and it was like we had never been apart. Our conversations still as fulfilling as ever before. Miss her right now even!

When we were out exploring and arrived at a beautiful spot that we made our day camp we both walked through rocks into a meadow, took our shoes off, and grounded ourselves. We then proceeded to fall asleep in the breeze and the sun with total peace surrounding us.
​
Waking up to such beautiful serenity is quite indescribable. We then fished with her fiancé Shawn Estey who was so incredibly accommodating, fun, and patient.


I learned so much about myself and life in this whole trip that I knew it was meant to work out the way it did.


If you feel hopeless, get out in nature.
If you feel alone, get out in nature.
If you feel sad, get out in nature.

​
There’s so much life to be lived, BE BOLD AND SAY YES TO IT😍🙌🏻⛰

Going into an off-season, I like to remind myself that there is a time and a place for everything. There’s a reason for every season. There’s no right or wrong way when you commit to fueling up YOUR soul without the need to please or meet others expectations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re in a season of change, always Be forgiving, be mindful, be aware, and most of all, be loving. Because the more you love yourself the more inspired you will be to move, eat, think, and live in ways that help you live the most fulfilling, freeing and empowered life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time to build more than just a body, it’s your improvement season, it’s the perfect opportunity to resolve any inner world conflict you experience that we so often neglect with our incredible quest for achievement in our sport.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I guarantee you, changing your body or only focusing on trying to control every little detail of your life will NOT bring you peace of mind, comfort, or happiness. You have to find a way for yourself to REMEMBER how capable and INCREDIBLE you are...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust yourself and your body enough to know that YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO LOVES AND CARES SO MUCH FOR YOUR BODY THAT YOU NATURALLY PROVIDE FOR YOURSELF IN WAYS THAT FUEL YOUR GOALS AND LIFE!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Doesn’t that Feel good to think about? You already have everything you need within you and all that’s meant for you exists in the universe already.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ready to commit to yourself and let go of the loathing behaviors and beliefs so you can connect to / trust your deepest abilities?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so excited to be launching my new post-show personal development program! This is not a diet or exercise program, this is the only program in the industry that works directly with and for bikini competitors to overcome the post-show blues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Click HERE to learn more and sign up now! We start November 5th and I have 6 spots left for the first-callouts round (after this you’ll be able to join anytime of the year but the first round will be more hands on than ever!)

​On prep, Food is seen as something that forms us and chisels us during a prep. We see our body change and connect those changes to all the work we’ve been doing. Being so focused on that outer change can lead us to forget what food is most famous for; helping us to FUNCTION! It is literally medicine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the improvement season I recommend creating some new belief systems and perspectives around food. This could be:
I eat food that makes me feel amazing, nourishes me, and is enjoyable. When I have food that my body isn’t used to I focus on quality over quantity and truly savor it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time I eat food I recognize it as energy for my body while accepting my decisions and always moving forward. If I eat in a way that hurts my body then I apologize to myself, accept, learn the lesson, and love myself through it enough to move on in peace.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shifts in beliefs like that can turn a regretful binge into an opportunity to learn and understand your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the end of the day, it’s not as much about the food as it is your relationship with it. Just think, some people fear bananas the same way you might fear cupcakes. It’s all relative and we are all on our own journey. Developing a healthy relationship with food starts with working on our relationship with ourself and redefining our beliefs about food and our own eating habits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve ever struggled with this post-show or in the off season then you are going to love my upcoming 8 week post show personal development program where you will make peace with your body, food, and your new goals for the off season. If this post has been helpful for you, imagine what we will be diving deep into for the course...

You can define your body, but your body cannot fully define you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s so much more to you than meets the eye.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So whatever skin you’re in, be happy and grateful that it is sustaining your life and allowing for you to have a human experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find gratitude in function and allow the form take care of itself as a result.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I went and did a Body fat scan and I’m soo excited because I made small tweaks in my program this week with some new exercises, inspired cardio workouts like more hiking and a random hiit sesh just for fun, plus some dietary changes. I listened to my body a lot more and kept filling head with loving thoughts. This led me to gain 1.9 lbs muscle and drop 0.2% body fat🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also launched a new program, started new psych courses, worked with my clients programming, and still managed!! I WAS ON FIRE THIS WEEK WITH SO MUCH JOY!!!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the thing, Just the week before I was starting to question if the programming I had made for myself was actually doing what it needed to be doing. I hadn’t seen much of a body composition change other than 0.5lbs of muscle which looking back on was quite a bit but I was sad that I had to gain fat for it. I am lucky to also have a coach who even when not building my plans will still respond and give me support or see how I’m doing. And then I caught myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First of all, I needed to put on some fat. Second, I need a solid base to build muscle on. And Third, I AM HAPPY, HEALTHIER, AND MORE ENERGIZED THAN BEFORE. I truly LOVE my body and am enjoying this off season so much because I’m improving!  Sometimes we think the struggles we are facing will never go away but when we choose to trust and keep moving forward, they do!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But we can face challenges with much more ease when we have learned and developed mental/emotional strategies for doing so. I can’t wait to teach alllll of my best tricks for the off season in my post-show personal development program. If you haven’t enrolled yet, there’s still time. I have about 7 spots left, click HERE for more info & to enroll!
