![]() You probably didn't know all of this about me...but it could be exactly what you need to know right now. -I am Running my own business and building an empire. -I have 3 jobs. -I am a Full time student. -I am in a fully committed relationship and have been for 2 years now. -I spend time with my family and my friends/people I am connected with. -I train in ju-jitsu. -I workout 6-7x/week in the gym. -I take care of my living space. -I am conscious of what I put on, in, and around my body. -I prepare and consume healthy meals. -I commit to learning outside of school. -I do inner work daily which consists of journaling for mindset work, spiritual work and healing through meditation, breathing, and earthing, as well as self love rituals, and whatever I need in the moment. And I enjoy every single day of it. Let's be real. Building an empire online is not a 12 hour a week gig with small things to do and/or manage. It's 24/7 with everything you can imagine to do and more and I fuckin love it. Working 3 jobs is not a task. It's a blessing. I love everything I do. Outside of my own coaching business here's what I do: -mindset and business mentoring for clients within 2 different and specific coaching groups of two mentors with two separate niches. -fitness coaching and personal training at my local YMCA. -Is it right to say I'm a workaholic? Yes. -Is it right to say I'm committed to personal growth and development? Yes. -Is it right to say I have my shit together? For the most part, yes ;). But I'm not here to sugar coat this for you. I'm also very sensitive. I feel deeply. Not only within myself but for others. Is it right to say I struggle? Absolutely. I was interviewed the other day as an expert guest for an amazing woman's membership site. She asked me about some of the struggles. I was interviewed before that by an amazing marketing strategist and he also asked me the same thing. So I figure it must need to be shared. -I cry. A lot. -I beat myself up sometimes. -I am my worst critic (not to say I'm not my best encourager though) -I am by no means a perfect girlfriend. -I experience shame, guilt, and fear. -I sometimes feel like I don't do enough. -I sometimes feel like I'm being used or taken advantage of. -I sometimes feel lonely since I don't have a ton of friends. (The ones I do have are frikkin kick ass tho--this came as a result of me calling in the right people and doing the inner work) -I feel like a failure sometimes. -My depression and anxiety didn't disappear. It resurfaces and reminds me to feel. -Sometimes I feel numb to emotion. -Sometimes I feel regret for being so consumed in work and passion that I am not present in the moment. -I have had days where all I wanna do is sleep. -I have had days where I can't lift as heavy. -I have had days where cardio actually seems like a death sentence. -I've had days where I didn't believe fully. -I have days where I don't show myself the love and appreciation I deserve. I've felt it all. Trust me. Again, the list goes on. It is not hard to pursue my passion. In fact, it's freeing and empowering. This whole life thing is an emotional journey of lessons learned and ascending through our souls purpose and aligning within ourselves daily. I recognize that without feeling and acknowledging the things I go through I cannot help others go through it and come out on the other side. The depth of which I take time to heal myself now I can then guide others through their healing. While my life is amazing and fulfilling there is always room to grow. We are meant to go through the darkness (and love it) to come out with light and love. I make mistakes. I feel stress. I have questions and doubts. The difference between me getting things done and making a massive impact on this world or crumbling under the weight of it is recognizing that our 'problems' are actually weightless and we are the only ones who determine what weight they hold. Every aspect of our being, good and bad, is meant to be loved, appreciated, embraced, and adored. We are meant to endure so we can empower. I go through life knowing everything is exactly as it should be and I am exactly where I need to be. I choose everything in my life. So can you. We do not seek perfection when we believe, truly believe, that everything, as it is right now, is perfect. I love you. I see you. I feel you. I understand you. I support you. I stand with you. We are in this together. Let's raise our consciousness collectively and create a life full of freedom, empowerment, service, and love. What do you endure everyday? What makes you a badass? What do you commit to in your growth as a soul? I want to hear your story. I'm here for you. 💖💖💖💖💖

It's hard to believe you feel like a failure, you've done so much and you're in great shape! :) i feel like a failure as well i never have any energy, so I don't get a lot done. I've been going to the gym more, but I'm eating like shit. It's frustrating I'm not stronger. Thank you for sharing this!
