So no, I never thought that who you are seeing here today was a possibility for what I could look and feel like.

I think a lot of people move their body to look a certain way.

At this point in my journey, I was addicted to movement because it made me feel a certain way, because it was fulfilling a promise that I was making to myself.

Because it was allowing me to get to know myself to a deeper level than I had ever learned before.

And it wasn't about how hard the workout was.

It was about walking away and feeling like my cup was full, not empty.

And I think a lot of workouts can kind of empty your cup.

Discipline is self-love.

You'll hear me say that all the time.

When you learn self-discipline, that is the number one form of self-love because if you can't show up for yourself, how are you going to do great things for yourself?

In anything in life.

This is not weight loss.

This is life.

You know what I really want everyone to hear?

If you have the privilege to move your body, you are doing your entire life such a disservice by not embracing movement.

And if you haven't found the movement for you, keep looking because it exists.

It is such a privilege.

It is the best form of therapy.

What happened for me after class passed was COVID.

We were in a pandemic.
