There are NO shortcuts to your health 🙌💗 These characters were some of my favorite animated characters growing up, and I still love them to this day! I even dress up as some of them for Halloween. But when we’re little girls, we’re also absorbing messages from the media we consume. When the princess is always tiny waisted and the villain has a completely different body type, it can shape how we view our own bodies, even if we don’t realize it. In a society that’s increasingly rewarding being as SMALL as possible again, I think it’s so important to remember that your health should always come first. Don’t let anyone convince you that you need a quick fix to be worthy of feeling confident in your body. Train so you can climb stairs when you’re older. So you can take long walks on the beach when you retire. So you can carry your groceries, keep up with your kids, and feel STRONG and capable in your everyday life. Train because you deserve to feel good, not because you need to take up less space. 🫶🏽 PS. This isn’t directed at people using prescribed medications for legitimate medical reasons. There’s a difference between accessing appropriate medical care and being sold the idea that there’s a shortcut to health. One of the biggest reasons I started coaching was because I saw how often people were being targeted with fear tactics, unrealistic expectations, and promises of quick results. I want to help people understand their bodies, build sustainable habits, and learn how to train and fuel themselves for the long term. My goal isn’t to make you dependent on me forever. It’s to give you the knowledge, confidence, and tools to eventually feel empowered in your own fitness journey, without feeling like you need a quick fix to be happy or healthy. 💗 If you’re ready to build strength, feel confident, and create habits that last, I’d love to help you get there!
