If you’re feeling resistance to taking 2.5 hours f If you’re feeling resistance to taking 2.5 hours for yourself tomorrow, I want you to know.. I get it 🫠 

You have responsibilities. People depend on you. Your to-do list feels endless. Maybe you’re telling yourself you’ll slow down after this busy season, once you catch up, or when everyone else is taken care of.

But what if the very thing you’ve been telling yourself you don’t have time for is exactly what you need most?

Your nervous system was not designed to stay in survival mode forever.

When we’re constantly pushing, doing, giving, and staying “on,” eventually our bodies ask us to slow down one way or another.

What if this time, you chose to listen before burnout made that decision for you?

Imagine starting next week feeling grounded instead of depleted. Clear instead of overwhelmed. More connected to yourself, and able to show up more fully for the people and goals that matter most.

You don’t have to earn your rest.

You don’t have to wait until everything else is done.

You just have to be willing to lean into the belief that you’re worthy of receiving too.

If any part of you feels like you need this, we’d love to welcome you to our @vegansquadcoaching women’s virtual retreat tomorrow: Restore Within.

We’ll spend the afternoon moving through empowering mindset and identity work, gentle yoga, meditation, and crystal sound healing, all from the comfort of your own home, surrounded by women who are choosing themselves too.

The clarity we’re searching for is usually found w The clarity we’re searching for is usually found when we create enough space to finally hear ourselves again.

That’s why we created Restore Within: a Virtual Retreat to reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Take an afternoon for yourself to slow down, regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your intuition, and remember what it feels like to trust yourself again.

Through mindset coaching, identity work, gentle heart-opening yoga, meditation, and a crystal sound bath, you’ll leave feeling more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself 🥰

If you’ve been craving a space to simply breathe, receive, and come home to yourself, we’d love to have you with us this Sunday.

I remember ordering those white bikini bottoms lik I remember ordering those white bikini bottoms like it was yesterday.

The second they arrived, I tried them on, stood in front of the mirror, and took a picture.

I was trying to make sense of the disconnect between how I wanted to feel, and who I was seeing.

I wanted to feel strong, confident, and comfortable in my own skin.

Instead, I felt disconnected from myself, had very little energy, and couldn’t understand how others were moving forward while I felt so stuck.

At some point I stopped ruminating on thoughts like, “what’s wrong with me?”

My focus shifted to what I could control: What’s one thing I can do today that my future self will thank me for?

So I kept showing up. Not perfectly or linearly.

I didn’t suddenly feel motivated to workout consistently.

But every week I got a little stronger, started to have more energy, and felt proud of myself for doing the things I said I’d do.

Every time I showed up for myself, especially on days I really didn’t feel like it, I created evidence that I could trust myself to keep growing and moving forward.

THAT’S what helped me tap into the confidence that I was worthy of feeling all along.

And it wasn’t because my body finally looked a certain way.

It was from becoming someone who kept choosing herself.

And it turns out that feeling is worth way more than the physique I thought I was chasing 🙏

If this feels like the reminder you needed today, let this be your turning point.

Not when you lose the weight, finally stay consistent, or reach your next goal.

Now ❤️

I’d love to have you join us for our @vegansquadcoaching women’s Virtual Retreat: Restore Within, this Sunday, where we’ll begin building the kind of confidence that comes from reconnecting with yourself, exactly as you are.

You’ll get to enjoy:
🌸 Mindset: Quieting Self-Doubt with @themirandatuttle 
🌸 Identity & Energetics with @alexissarahnee 
🌸 Heart-Opening Yoga with @consciouslivingwithali 
🌸 Awakening Your Intuition Meditation with @myplantbasedfriend 
🌸 Crystal Sound Bath with @consciouslivingwithali

I really thought I would have to choose. Between I really thought I would have to choose.

Between being a foodie, being vegan, and building the physique I wanted.

I couldn’t have imagined that over 10 years later, I’d still get to try new restaurants, share meals with friends, enjoy dessert, compete as a vegan bikini athlete, and stay aligned with my values.

And, reminder that you don’t have to be vegan to make a difference.

Every time you opt for a plant-based option, it’s a chance to choose a little more kindness for animals and our planet, while still enjoying incredible food.

So whether you’re vegan, veg-curious, or just looking to try something new, I hope this reminds you that compassion doesn’t have to mean giving anything up. And actually, you’ll probably gain a whole lot more 🥰🌱

Huge shoutout to all the amazing vegan businesses shown here and tagged. Thank you for doing what you do and making this so easy and enjoyable for so many people ❤️
You don’t have to choose between building your dre You don’t have to choose between building your dream body and living in alignment with your values.

You can build muscle.
You can get strong af.
You can recover well.
You can step on a bodybuilding stage.
You can pursue big goals.

And you can do it all while choosing compassion every single day.

Shoutout to my amazing teammate @monstrickl, and her coach @gretaivesdallifts, as she prepares for her bodybuilding debut this October 👏🏼

As for me, I’m beyond excited to be stepping back on stage in March with @thebodybuildingvegan in my corner 🙌🏼

I’m so proud to be part of the @vegansquadcoaching team, helping hundreds of people become healthier, stronger, and more confident while staying true to their values.

Here’s to proving that you can build a healthy and strong physique on plants without taking the lives of innocent animals 🤍
Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to believe Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to believe you’re enough, even after everything you’ve accomplished?

Subconsciously, many women have learned that self-worth is something we need to earn or prove by doing enough, taking care of everyone else, and overextending ourselves.

But the beautiful truth is that your worth is something inherent in you. You don’t lose it by slowing down, setting a boundary, or choosing you.

In fact, that’s what building self-love really is all about. It’s the process of creating a relationship with yourself that feels safe enough to trust and believe in.

If you’ve been craving a space to step out of the urgency, reconnect with yourself, and remember that you’ve been worthy all along, I’d love to have you join me for my free Women’s Self Love & Self Worth Group Hypnosis this Sunday.

The way you care for yourself is a reflection of t The way you care for yourself is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself.

Self-care isn’t about checking another box.

Real self-care is choosing not to abandon yourself in the moments that matter most.

Every time you choose yourself with compassion instead of criticism, you begin rebuilding trust with yourself.

And the beautiful part is that this relationship can blossom into something that feels deeply aligned, nourishing, and supportive.

If you’re ready to stop putting yourself last and create a deeper sense of trust and connection with yourself, I’d love to have you join me for my free Women’s Self Love & Self Worth Group Hypnosis this Sunday.

What if the most loving thing you could do this we What if the most loving thing you could do this week was choose yourself?

Not because you’ve been productive enough to earn it.
Not because you’ve reached a breaking point.

Simply because you felt worthy of your own care.

So many women have learned to prioritize everyone else’s needs before their own. To keep the peace. To overgive. To push through. To abandon themselves in the process.

If that feels familiar, this space was created for you.

Join me for a FREE virtual Women’s Self-Love & Self-Worth Group Hypnosis this Sunday.

Together, we’ll explore why self-abandonment isn’t a personal flaw, but a pattern your nervous system learned to keep you safe.

Then you’ll be guided through a gentle hypnosis designed to help you:
💗 Release old patterns of people-pleasing and self-sacrifice
💗 Feel safer trusting yourself and honoring your needs
💗 Build deeper self-love and self-worth
💗 Leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more connected to yourself

This is your invitation to come home to the version of you who has been there all along, waiting to be chosen.

Comment WORTHY to reserve your free spot.

Send to a woman who deserves more love, self-compassion, and space to reconnect with herself 💗
