POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I went through so much during my pregnancy, my cuarentena time, and even after.
For the first 2–2½ years of my younger son’s life, I struggled deeply with postpartum depression. I was unhappy, unhealthy, and in a really dark place mentally.

The gym literally saved my life.

I hired a coach for the first 7 months of my journey, learned the fundamentals, built discipline, and from there… I took off 🚀🌕
This lifestyle didn’t just help me lose 100+ lbs it gave me an unshakable mindset and a completely new way of looking at life, health, and fitness.

I share my story to remind anyone who’s struggling or scared to start that I was you. And honestly, sometimes I still get nervous trying new things (cough cough creating content 😅).
But if I can change my entire lifestyle, lose that much weight, build muscle, discipline, and confidence with limited resources and help — SO CAN YOU.

This is more than fitness.
This is survival.
This is growth.
This is me choosing myself. 💪🏽🖤

I lost 100lbs… but more importantly, I built myself.

I built discipline.
I built strength.
I built muscle.
I built confidence.

I built a body I’m genuinely in love with.

This didn’t happen overnight.
This happened from choosing myself over and over again even when it was hard, even when I didn’t feel motivated.

No shortcuts.
No quick fixes.
Just consistency, heavy lifting, and refusing to quit on myself.

I remember not recognizing the girl in the mirror.
Now I see someone I fought for.

From creating life… to creating a life I’m proud to live in.

And I’m still building. You don’t have to do this alone if you’re ready DM me or tap the link in my bios 💪🏽

For years, I’ve been fighting a silent battle against systems that are supposed to protect and support children like my son.

I’m tired of watching kids be isolated, underestimated, and have their rights violated simply because they’re different or need more support.

Somewhere along the way, too many people in these systems lost compassion, empathy, and sight of who they’re supposed to serve.

They hate to see an educated Indigenous mother coming—but I’ll keep showing up, learning the law, speaking up, and fighting for what’s right every single time. 🤎⚖️

One perspective shift can change the trajectory of your life.

Funny how four days can change your entire perspective. Sometimes you have to leave what’s familiar to become who you’re meant to be. New opportunities have a way of changing everything. 🚀✨

I don’t always feel motivated.

I don’t always hit PRs.

I don’t always leave the gym feeling unstoppable.

But I keep showing up.

That’s the difference.

Teaching my kids how to work with the land we have. 🌱

Step 1: Build a compost bin using what we already have.

But first… what even is a compost bin?

A compost bin is basically nature’s recycling system. Instead of throwing food scraps away, we let them break down into nutrient-rich compost that feeds the soil and helps grow healthy fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

We’re starting from scratch and learning as we go. Follow along while we turn our backyard into something that can feed our family. 🌿🤎

My greatest responsibility isn’t just protecting him.
It’s teaching him healthy ways to navigate life.

This is where we practice. 🤎🌎🌲 by @barri0bruja

Recovery sucks. Starting over sucks. But I refuse to quit on myself. Every rep is one step closer to getting me back. 🤎🪶
