You are allowed to take up space as you are — today. In your softness. In your strength. In your stretch marks and curves and lines that tell a story.
Now don’t get me wrong…
As a fitness coach, I want you to feel confident and look like a whole baddie this summer. I want you to feel good in your skin when you show up at the cookout, the beach, the girls’ trip, or wherever the season takes you.
And if the warmer weather has you feeling inspired to move more, set new goals, or freshen up your wellness routine — I’m here for that, too. Lets go!
But before you dive into anything new, I want you to pause and ask yourself ONE important question:
Can I sustain this when summer ends?
September? October? November? December?
Because if the answer is ‘no’, chances are it’s not rooted in love or care. It’s rooted in urgency. In pressure. In shame. It’s coming from the belief that you need to become someone else to finally deserve joy, fun, or peace.
And that’s a lie I refuse to let you believe.
You are not behind. You are not too late. You are a whole human — evolving, growing, moving through seasons, and deserving of care through every single one. You don’t need to shrink to be worthy. You don’t need to hustle your way into being lovable.
You’re allowed to care for yourself without turning it into punishment.
