I haven’t competed in three years.

Everyone only posts the highlight reels—So let me tell you the bad. ( But No fake crying on camera 😂 because that is lame) 

I went back home to Idaho for two years, just to be close to my family. I trained when I could, but my health kept throwing me curveballs. I gained about 20 pounds, I was barely training, and I slipped into a deep depression.

And in that space, I made choices I wouldn’t normally make. I ate my feelings, drank Tooooo much and honestly hated myself. So then I settled for a guy who wasn’t a good person and stayed in a relationship I knew wasn’t good for me—because I was lonely, overweight and felt lost. I felt like I didn’t have value. 
 
Depression is a terrible cycle. I needed to change my environment. When I did I started to feel better. This created better habits and I started training again. My health got better, I was able to lose weight and my mental heath made a 180°

So after a few months my friend Rene bullied me into competing again. After all the self work this was will scary AF!! 

Not the “excited nervous.” The real kind. I was terrified I took too much time off and I’d come back and do something stupid—mess up, gas out, do some shitty jiu Jitsu or just blow out a knee. 

I made EVERY  excuse in the morning not to go. I woke up feeling a little yuck, I felt my injuries more painful than normal. Blah blah blah I started telling myself I should just not go. 

I went, I’m  really happy with my performance. It was only one match, but my opponent was tough and I learned a lot on things to work on when I get nervous. I’m super grateful for my training partners who pushed me to be better, and helped be better in a better place 💕
