When you’ve fallen off the bandwagon with your health, fitness, goals.. The guilt and shame that ensues can be overwhelming. 😌🫶🏼 I get it, I’ve been there many a time. But shame and guilt don’t actually get you anywhere. In fact, it can leave you feeling more stuck, more lost, more defeated than ever before.

If you have ever felt triggered by the idea of embodying a particular emotion, ashamed or put-down for expressing your sexuality, embarrassed for wearing certain clothes or for showing up a particular way, or even felt triggered when someone ELSE does/says/has a particular look that you wouldn’t feel comfortable expressing yourself, then lean into why. This is your shadow coming up: any area of yourself that through shame, pain and programming, you have learnt is not worthy, lovable, enough.
