Yesterday I was reminded of a conversation I had with a girl a couple months ago - we were talking about her struggles with self-image and how she wishes her personality were different, how she even battles a critical inner voice telling her she has nothing worth saying, nothing interesting to offer. My heart hurt because I know exactly how that feels - to believe lies about who I am and to live in a cycle of fear and withdrawal. But I was also filled with joy because I feel like such a different person now than the girl I was when I believed I was boring and never enough. God has brought me so much healing and empowered me to step out of that dark place...even when I might be tempted to venture there again. I shared with my new friend the transformation I’ve experienced and how much hope there is for renewal. How it may be a slow and frustrating road, but that healing, and even thriving, is possible. I saw her countenance light up as she smiled - I could tell something inside her had lifted. Our stories are gifts that can bring such beauty out of brokenness and that can offer a spark of hope to others. Whatever your story is, it has power to bring beauty and light into dark places. And I’m so amazed and thankful for this.

take care of yourself, no matter what

To my Independent Authors or Aspiring Authors: I’ll tell you the truth, it was a lot of hard and grunt work that went into this book.. a lot of back and forth with editors, a lot of second guessing, a lot of doubts, a lot of tears, a lot of late nights, and numerous sacrifices. I had to constantly remind myself of my why, and repeat time and time again that the purpose of this book is greater than how I feel. It was well worth it! Holding my book in hand feels SO surreal. God, we did it! - Please be in prayer with me that every heart assigned to this children’s book will receive it with great joy and be transformed by it, growing completely unafraid to #sharetheirstory! Thank you everyone for your support thus far. The book is available online on Barnes & Noble! For kids ages 4-8.

It really is true. The year from when I went to a doctor that told me to get off of sugar was the most transformative year of my life. It was 10 months postpartum. I was in a ditch. It was actually way worse than people even knew it was. ⁣ ⁣ My anxiety was debilitating. I couldn’t be a mom, not the one I wanted to be anyway. No experience transformed me more than having my son. This was mostly due to the requirement to face my shit. Face my coping mechanisms (highly destructive ones at that). And to start showing up in my life. ⁣ ⁣ The support that keto was to that process was invaluable. It gave me the strength and energy to put in the work. I demanded more from myself and from life. I was done living at such a low level. All postpartum did was shine a light on the work to be done. ⁣ ⁣ Now in 4 weeks, I get to do this whole process again. But this time, I get to reap the benefits of all the work I’ve done in the last three years. I can say with absolute certainty that I am not the person I was for so many years. ⁣ ⁣ If you’re experiencing your “dark night of the soul” as they call it, I see you. I know your experience better than you think. I know the hopelessness you feel that maybe it’s never going to change. But I’m here to tell you that it can. Believe it will. Demand it of yourself and then put in the work. ___________________________________ #keto #realtalk #vulnerability #shareyourstory #ppd #ppa #postpartum #ketosis #ketopregnancy #lowcarbpregnancy #lowcarb
