Movement has never been a shape or look for me. It saved me from killing myself & gives me this breath every day. It has always been medicine for me. It is contradictory to the movement industry & visuals that we get bombarded by in the social media/visual world. It’s hard to show the internal world & our whys. We can only hold conversations to do this but not everyone will read or listen. Many will continue to assume or be pulled by the visuals. One of the things I want to do is I want to inspire people to know movement is medicine & they can find acceptance of their body & selves from there, because I did.

Fitness, joy, love, a good life, handling the challenges of life is about the inside work & the amount of love & kindness you give yourself. This is what matters, not how we look or a number or shape on the outside. We also need to stop discrediting people when they remind us of this. As EVERY human has to work for body acceptance & find peace with their insecurities along this journey of life. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been told I’m too skinny, too red faced, too muscley, look like a boy, my nose is crooked, my legs are too heavy, my lips are too thin, my arms are too long, some part of my body is X. You see when we truly understand this, we realise that there is no perfect body & everyone struggles with self acceptance/love & everyone has been told they are not enough at some point & their conditioning or limiting set beliefs holds them captive to their insecurities, no matter how perfect or beautiful we think they are. Remembering this allows us to take a step back & realise beauty is more about how we feel about ourselves & project it on ourselves & then others, than how we look. And it can change at any time with the amount of love, kindness we give ourselves & in turn others. With this insight it reminds us that the most beautiful things are often not seen, they are felt and true beauty comes from within.
