I resonate with this so much! Six years ago I looked super healthy on the outside- working out six days a week, eating well, and even running a business helping other women get in a “good routine”. Meanwhile I was dying inside from a series of unexplained autoimmune issues and severe depression. Behind all my motives for being “fit” was a deep-rooted belief that I was a constant self-improvement project- always falling short.

Um… this is not actually healthy! 😂

At the time I felt like I was being forced to take a step back- my body physically couldn’t take it anymore. But it’s been such a blessing to have the opportunity to cultivate my inner world and learn to listen to my body and nurture it instead of “fixing” it.

This was a beautiful read. Thank you for sharing your story. 💗
