You it's a practice and the reason why everybody says it's a practice is because you have to stay consistent at it and show up for yourself and that means that showing up for yourself is Included when your kids are around Showing up for yourself is not just finding a babysitter and Showing up for yourself then because that's something that helped me back for a while I was like,
How am I supposed to show up for myself?
I don't have that like I can't afford to get that But showing up for yourself means showing up for yourself in every single moment.
It's being able that's why gratitude is powerful You can show up for yourself with gratitude in every single moment Hey there,

Thank you so much for coming on the beautifully changed podcast today to share your message with moms About how even though they're a mom They don't have to fit in a mold that they think they have to fit in that they can pursue their passion and they can Tap into their faith and their own individuality to live the life that fills their heart with passion and goodness and inspires them Instead of feeling that they're limited by what other people might think they need to do Thank you so much for having me on I am honestly like so excited to be on here Sharing my message and to be honest with you.
This is the first podcast I've ever been interviewed on so I like to share that because I am here to inspire moms to take action on their life and This is one of the actions that I am taking so I'm so excited to be doing this on your podcast Well,
I love it and thank you I feel honored to be one of the first or I guess the first podcast besides your own That you're coming on to share your message with and I think that It's so good to hear A message of hope and inspiration and that we don't have to limit ourselves to what other people think we need to be Because I think at some point in our lives especially once you become a mom That definitely is a message that you'll have to face at some point in time because even if it comes to something as simple as the food you're giving your child or when you're like I don't know whether you give them apples or not or what age used our apples that can still be a message That can start to be a judgment that you feel from other people so then when you want to pursue your passion or a goal for yourself if it's Unsure of how people are going to judge you on what you feed your kids It's like how am I going to pursue like for you?
You want to pursue dancing,
Correct?
Yes,
So maybe not everyone supports that so how would you Say that you pursue it.
Anyway,
Even if somebody else doesn't agree with you So the number one thing that I always come back to and i'm probably going to talk about this a lot because it is Like my main message.
Um,
It's coming back home to your body Your body knows best your body.
Um is basically where you meet god halfway to find guidance and By coming back to your body.
You're able to follow your truth rather than follow the outside noise and for me.
Um,
I was stuck in following the outside noise for so long.
I had my son I don't know if you want me to tell my story right now,
But Sure,
Go ahead jump into your story.
I had my son at 19 years old.
Um,
I'm 21 right now.
So Having my son so early I was kind of just like Guilty from the start.
Um,
I felt guilty about having my son early.
Um,
I Was struggling so much with everybody's outside expectations Like I have to show up this way in order to be a good mom because i'm so young I have to prove myself in order to be a good mom because i'm so young Um,
I'm living with my parents and I should be doing this and I should be doing that and it was just a lot um And it took a toll on the way I approached my life and it took a huge toll on My heart the way I followed my heart and the way um,
I felt when I was pretty much doing Anything for me,
Um and I struggled with that for a while.
Um,
I started my business when I had my son and I actually started as a health and fitness business because I'm a dancer and i'm big into health and fitness.
I was like I can help moms do this But I didn't realize how much mental work I needed to do in order to do something big for myself in order to follow my passions When I had so much limiting beliefs around it from becoming a mom Um,
Can I pause you right there?
Yeah,
Okay so I think that in itself is really powerful and I know people are relating to what you're saying because The expectations that other people have on us and that we can that we assume and we put these limiting beliefs on us can be really huge So you mentioned that it took a toll on your approach to life.
Can you just touch on that?
A little bit like what what did that actually look like?
Like if I could see what that looked like to you What would I notice?
Yeah,
So I went through a period of time where I had really bad anxiety I actually struggled with anxiety pretty much my whole life.
Um,
And When I had my son it really came down hard on me and not many people knew it because I didn't show it But it was happening like inside of me and it was to the point where I wouldn't even go take a shower alone I wouldn't even put my son down to go take a shower because I felt so guilty for doing that So what that looked like for me was just like constant anxiety over whether or not I was a good enough mom I think that was the main thing.
It wasn't that my son was gonna get hurt.
It wasn't that um,
I was scared of him like I know some moms struggle with anxiety like where they're scared of their kids like dying in bed Like sids or whatever but mine was I was scared of not being a good enough mom um,
So It it looked like constant anxiety staying up super late.
Um,
I couldn't sleep.
Um,
I remember I would just like cry so many nights.
Um,
By myself and i'm a single mom and I'm like,
I'm not gonna be a single mom I'm not gonna be a single mom because I'm not gonna be a single mom because I'm not gonna be a single mom Um,
But our situation is that I do live with my son's co-parent.
Um,
We live with my parents right now.
So It's a very um I don't want to say tough situation but a sticky situation for a mom to really grow in and find her power.
Um,
And and it'll
