Strong and fit look like this, too.

As someone who’s struggled with body image issues my whole life, a previous version of me would’ve never posted these clips. Me now? My perspective has changed. I’ve grown to love my body. I’m still growing to love my body.

Do I care about how I look? Yes, absolutely. I’m human. But I do care more about stewarding my body well. I do care more about how my physical disciplines drive mental and spiritual growth. I do care more about living a long life because that’s the best gift I can give my loved ones. I do care more about building a lasting lifestyle more than a temporary physique. Our bodies change (and fast), especially for women.

Social media has allowed us to believe that fit and strong look a certain way — absolutely shredded, super lean, minimal body fat. Now if you do fall into this category of people, I absolutely love that for you and am cheering you on too. My intention is to share and encourage that fit and strong look like this too — some body fat, a lil tummy pooch, cellulite. Beautiful!

Our bodies were designed to move. So, move and challenge yourself. Don’t take it for granted or opt for movement as your last resort. See what you’re capable of. Strong is and will always be, in.

This body is a vessel that’s carried me through my hardest days. So yes, my body will be taken care of and tended to. My body will be stewarded well for my calling. My body will be refined. This is 28. ✨

how does one explain the combined feeling of:
• being genuinely happy with who you’re becoming
• knowing you’re called higher and set apart but not knowing exactly what that looks like yet
• leaning into discomfort
• having a peace and joy that protects you, not having to protect it
• being content while striving for more
• chipping away at every. single. fear. every. single. day.
• finding joy in all circumstances
• being more afraid of never trying than trying
• knowing that God works it all out for good
kinda scary! kinda cool! but isn’t that the whole point?
