What You Want Matters

What YOU want matters. When you know that, you can fully exist. This page is about mental health, fitness, nutrition, life, and love! All things I love! WHY?

I’m a recovering self-doubter. I grew up believing that what I want didn’t matter. And, when you believe that, you're an easy target to be taken advantage of, and to fall into things (work, relationships, etc…) you don’t really like, and that aren’t good for you. Currently, I’m a film-maker, writer, R+F skincare consultant, personal trainer, and happily married. Prior to that, I was in Semiconductors, Domain Names, Marketing Communications, and abusive relationships. That life was slowly killing my soul. And, quite nearly me. Once I finally escaped my predisposition for terrible relationships, and my high-tech career, I became a personal trainer. Soon after that I discovered Rodan + Fields (though it would still be a few years before that journey truly started). Now, my focus is on all the things that keep me mentally healthy. I'm so glad you asked. Because, having struggled with anxiety and depression most of my life. And now, being a recovering self-doubter… I’ve made it my mission to let everyone I come in contact with know that, what they want matters! You want healthier looking skin? That matters. You want more confidence? You want to have your own business? That matters
Whatever YOU want. IT MATTERS!!! Because when we believe that, we can fully exist. And when we fill ourselves up with what we want, we are better able to show up with kindness, and compassion, and patience, and LOVE for all the others in our lives. ♥️

It’s funny how the smallest things can mean so much when you’ve spent years feeling like what you want doesn’t matter.

For me, it was Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner. 😂

Sometimes freedom shows up in the most ordinary places. ♥️✨

Strength.
What does that world mean to you?

It used to mean how much distress I could endure.
Now, it means how fiercely I can love myself.

How did I get myself out?

Sometimes it was my own strength. And, sometimes I had to borrow someone else’s.

But little by little, I learned how to choose myself. ♥️✨

Spent the last few days at the
Met so many brave souls on a mission to share their stories.
Mike was teaching and I was attending. The retreat snuck up on me… when I arrived, I didn’t really know what to expect. But now I’m leaving full of inspiration from how many amazing kindred spirits I met.

There wasn’t one big decision that got me there.

There were a thousand little ones.

This was one of them.

My whole life I’ve been terrified to use my voice. It’s easier to hide behind the written word. There’s some safety there.
BUT… writing my memoir has made me realize it’s time to push into the resistance. How can I ever help anyone with my story if I don’t share it?
So, yeah. This is a little long. And a little awkward.
You gotta start somewhere! ✨♥️
