I Get Your Struggle.
why? because I have been exactly where you are. countless nights of asking myself "why me". debilitating period cramps, acne, bloating, low energy, low mood. experimenting with diets & exercise routines and finding nothing working. it was exhausting.
but I didn't quit. I chose a new reality and you can too. the life of your dreams, in a body that feels invincible - can be yours!
Where Do I Begin...
It all started when I was around 13 years old and started menstruating. I started getting acne on my cheeks, forehead and back. And my periods hit me full force causing extremely painful periods that lead to shakiness, vomiting and diarrhea.
Being 13 years old I was embarrassed that it felt like I was the only one experiencing these symptoms especially because periods were deemed shameful.
That’s when I decided I’d go on birth control (BC) - all 3 of my other sisters were also on BC. I had no idea what it was actually doing to my body but it made all my symptoms disappear which made me feel more confident in my body. I continued to use BC for the next 12-13 years.
Entering my mid twenties I was thinking a lot about my body and prepping it for child bearing. And after doing lots of research on what BC was actually doing to my body - I couldn’t believe what I was reading and that I was allowing this pill to effect me for 12+ years. So I decided to finally come off of it and try my best to accept the changes that this would bring.
My acne started coming back as well as my extremely painful periods. But I didn’t give up and I looked deep within to see how exactly I can support the damage my entire metabolism went through while on BC.
I healed myself by learning more about myself. By releasing all limiting beliefs I had. This allowed the unconditional love for myself to flow through me freely. And I am here to support you in doing the same for YOU.
The truth about my healing journey....
I remember moments of my life that I can hardly recognize who I was. In my early twenties I just came out of a relationship that drained me emotionally, I was newly vegetarian & I was binge drinking during the week + on weekends. I didn’t know how to nourish myself & to be honest I didn’t care.
Entering my mid-twenties I was bloated ALL THE TIME & I didn’t know who to go to for answers, I was still vegetarian and not eating properly at all. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship that I was trying to get out of because I knew in this moment that I needed to let go of this relationship to truly learn how to love myself.
Finally I took the biggest leap in my healing journey. The year I decided to come off Birth control - I was on Birth Control for about 12years and I was always so nervous to come off of it because I knew I would breakout, my period pains would come back and I was never in the right head space to be able to deal with all the symptoms. But during this time in my life where I had a full face of acne - I didn’t give a fuck. I left all the emotionally abusive people in my life behind - I fell in love with exactly who I am & I put in the work to look at myself in the mirror - naked, and tell that person how beautiful and loved she is. And I started to believe it. After about a year of coming off birth control I cured my acne naturally & I was truly so proud of not giving up.
With all this being said - healing is not easy. It’s not. & it’s a forever thing. But we have to start somewhere. And eventually we will fall in love with ourselves. We will let people go who are no longer a ‘fuck yes’ in our life. We will start doing things for us because we deserve it. And then - we will heal✨
