I rarely notice my #brainsurgery scar but this morning no matter how I put my hair up it was SO obvious.

Last week was a hard week and I spent most of it frustrated and angry, perhaps I just needed a reminder that everyday is a gift. And if you need a reminder, here it is. #survivor #tbi #warrior #braininjury #traumarecovery #traumasurvivor #traumaticbraininjury #distracteddriving

I got laid off from a #fortune10 company while I was on #maternityleave by two man. They had my convinced that I could not be a #workingmom. Because the moment I had a baby, they didn’t need me anymore. I remember thinking my career was over, crying constantly and dealing with #postpartum hormones on top of it. Men don’t understand what kind of negative effect something like this has on women…but I loved having a career, #stayathomemoms are amazing, just not the right choice for me. I buckled up and focused on being a #careermom and finding a company that was friendly for #workingparents. I’ve never been happier. I love my job, I love my side hustles and I love my kid ❤️ The biggest lesson for me in all of this was that you CANNOT let other people make decisions for you. These men decided I didn’t deserve to have a child and a career. I almost let them make that decision for me. #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl

I’ve got another big on stage panel appearance and as you know I’m not into the plain back suit.

I’m loving these ’paper bag waist’ pants because they are great for #curvygirls and can’t decide on the body suit look. I’m leaning towards B but I feel like I couldn’t wear a blazer with it due to the fun sleeves. Do I need a blazer? Which do you like?

And the shoes 👠 are probably a no go…still working on that. But because my outfit is simple I want a FUN shoe. #curvygirl #curvygirlfitness #curvyfashionista #curvyfashions #curvyfashionblogger #curvyfashionistas

‘Hey Mommy, they are crawling on eachother and making fart sounds’ 🤣🙈 #thatescalatedquickly

I am a #recoveringperfectionist and 100% #typea. I like to know what is happening, when and why. I hate making mistakes. But I’ve learned to #failforward. That FAILURE isn’t a 4 letter word. When I started allowing myself to get out of my own way, get creative and take chances everything changed for me, personally and professionally. What’s one risk you have taken lately? #herewegrow #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl

I’ve shared a few times but I’ve been dealing

I’ve shared a few times but I’ve been dealing with a load of #hormonal and #thyroidissues the past few years.

I meet with my doctors pretty regularly and this last time they asked about my activity levels and told her that I work out 5-6 days a week, mostly weight training right now.

She responded and said something along the lines of ‘well, I would think your fat percentage would be lower if that was true.’

1. What the f?
2. Did you just call me a liar?
3. This is how #eatingdisorders start.

I mean for real…it’s crappy enough that society assumes that if you’re not stick thin that you’re lazy and inactive, but now medical professionals do too?

Thankfully I’m resilient and was like 🖕 but I can see this being a slippery slope of something bad for someone.

We have SO much work to do on getting HUMANS to understand people can eat the same and have the same level of activity and STILL look different. And PS, the body survived a #trauma less than 1 in 10 survive…gonna argue that?! Because I’m sitting right in front of you breathing. #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl #bmi #bmiisbullshit #fatshaming

A #healthcoach who’s overweight?! Ewe!

J/K…#bmi is not the only measure of #health. Even at my most fit when I had a full #6pack, the scale STILL said I was overweight. I used to let us bother me when people trolled me about it. But my #curvygirl body is badass!!! We have to stop looking at people to determine how healthy they are. We have to start #lovingourselves where we are, we can always want to improve but it starts with #selflove. So many of my clients are so unhappy with themselves that they give up before they even start. Show yourselves a little grace…you will see so much more success when you do ❤️

Say it louder for the people in the back…#bmiisb

Say it louder for the people in the back…#bmiisbullshit. We have to stop measuring people’s total health by a number on the scale. So much of #healthyliving is mental and how you feel. And if you don’t feel good and are continually told you are overweight, it’s going to make you not want to even try. Do you think that you CAN #loveyourself and still want to improve? #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl #selflove #bmi

The journey to #selflove has been a long one, I’ve been #curvy my whole life. Even before #bbl was in 🤣 Still today, there are days when I love what I see in the mirror and says when I pick myself apart. I am striving for #progressnotperfection and I know I’m not going to feel great everyday. But we need to #normalizenormalbodies and understand that everyone is shape different. Every #bodytype is amazing and #curvygirlsrock too! #thunderthighs #curvygirl #curvygirlfitness

Today is my 6 year #survivorversary. Six years ago

Today is my 6 year #survivorversary. Six years ago today I was hit by a #distracteddriver at 40mph as a pedestrian while crossing a crosswalk. Less than 1 in 10 will survive a crash like that. And almost no one goes back to life before crash. I had #brainsurgery and two pelvic surgeries, was wheelchair bound for months and lived in a hospital. But I’m still here and I’m getting to live. I battle a #traumticbraininjury and I’m sure I’ll have physical issues for the rest of my life. I’ve used my story to #turnmymessintoamessage and was part of the team that passed a law here in MA so you can no longer hold your cell phone while you drive. I will continue to advocate to make our roads safer for us and our children. So many people ask me what they can do. Usually I say ‘nothing’ but today I’m asked you to pledge (comment below) to pay attention when you’re behind the wheel and #justdrive. It could save a life.

Giving a little #transition a try…not a total failure not a total success. It’s amazing what brushing my hair and #mascara can do for a #hotmessmama 🤣🤷‍♀️ Where are my other #hotmessmoms? #workingmom #curvygirl #curvyfashion #naturalmakeup #curvygirlfitness

Do #momgroups scare anyone else? I swear women can THE WORTH to one another…but why?! We need to support each other, lift each other up and offer an ear to #justlisten. We’re all in this together and #ittakesavillage. #workingmoms, #stayathomemoms #workathomemoms #sidehustlemoms #businessownermoms: I see you. You are amazing 🤩

I got laid off on #maternityleave after 13+ years

I got laid off on #maternityleave after 13+ years at a #fortune10 company. And before you ask, it wasn’t legal. They left me on the payroll for 3+ months as they tried to back pedal. I was holding my #newborn when my boss and his boss (both men) called me and told me. While they didn’t explicitly say it, I felt like I was being told ‘now that you are a Mom, we don’t have a place for you.’ At first I believed them, I thought I had to choose. Thankfully I had built my #sidehustle to pay the bills so that I could take my time to find the right job and not just any job. 5 months after I got laid off, I started at the company I’m at now, making 50% more which was not something I ever thought would happen. This last company made me believe Moms didn’t belong in business. I didn’t know it when I took the job, but the #companyculture has been a perfect fit for me. I feel extremely supported and valued as a #womanintech and a #workingmom. I have never been happier and since was hired 4.5 years ago I’ve been promoted twice and now I make 2.5x what I did. Mamas, if you want a career, you don’t have to choose. If you want to stay home with your kid(s) then you should. If you want something between then #youdoyou. I’m all about #momsupporting moms and you need to #dowhatmakesyouhappy Anyone wanna know which company laid me off on maternity leave?

My #BMI says overweight. And not barely. I used to define my worth by the scale. But the #scaledoesnotdefineme and #thescaledoesntdefineyou. I am true believer that #bmiisbullshit and {many} doctors don’t have proper training. We can do better as a society because while I believe in #healthyliving, I also believe #dietculture is toxic. Learning how to eat healthy does not mean 1200 calories a day unless you’re a toddler. #dobetter #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl

I discovered @smartsweets a few years ago. All the #sugarfree stuff used to make my stomach hurt and make me feel like crap 💩 but this stuff is amazing. They have no #artificialsweetener, no added sugar and no #sugaralcohols and taste amazing. I used to only be able to order online but now I can get grab #smartsweetsonshelf at @bigyfoods which is a game changer for my grocery trips! These really help my #sugaraddiction without spiking my #bloogsugar and making me crash. #happysnacking! #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl

One of the most unexpected side effects of focusin

One of the most unexpected side effects of focusing on my health and fitness is I have learned to spend more time focused on #lovingmyself than focused on if others love me.

I’m a recovering #peoplepleaser, I spent so much time worried on if people like me or not. And now, I really don’t care. I’ve learned to stick up for myself and not let others bully me just so I could be liked.

I’m #almost40, I’ve got big pores, sagging skin, wrinkles…and #nofilter. #curvygirlfitness #curvygirl #loveyourself #loveyourbody #loveyourcurves #selflove
