The last four weeks have indisputably changed me a

The last four weeks have indisputably changed me and I hope I am able to take this experience with me into all of the seasons still to come.

I have learned more over the last month than I have yet to fully articulate, but here’s a first pass.

This surgery felt like the biggest mountain that I had no choice but to go over and now that I’m (mostly) over it, I am left with so many emotions that I wasn’t expecting.

We often feel as though we are the stewards of our life, but as I climbed onto that operating table and started to lose consciousness, the reminder that there are experiences in which we have no control over has never been so apparent. As I accepted this, I was flooded with a peace that is hard to put into words — ultimate surrender.

I believe there is some truth to manifesting and visualizing our blessings, but prior to surgery I encountered some hiccups that had be swirling into a sea of anxiousness. I was a mess and certain I definitely wasn’t doing any powerful manifesting. I found myself doubting everything — the fear taking it’s hold. I walked into that hospital ready to do it scared until that moment on the operating table.

When I woke to my surgeon’s smiling face hours later and told that everything couldn’t have gone better, tears filled my eyes. I have never been reminded so profoundly to trust — that we can only take ourselves so far until we must give it to something greater.

In the days following surgery, I encountered repeated reminders of this and the freedom that comes from releasing control — the beauty of whole heartedly giving it to God.

What a blessing it was to learn to slow down in the days following and let loved ones take care of me. To spend more moments in stillness and prayer as I gazed out the window at the swaying maple trees.

What an incredible season of gratitude for how strong I am both body and mind. For the beautiful friends and family I have. For my husband who is my lighthouse and doesn’t let me get lost at sea. For my children for making me a mama and catapulting me into the most beautiful growth journey. It is overwhelming, in the best, most powerful way and I want to remember this feeling for eternity. ✨

We found them on a routine ultrasound – fibroids

We found them on a routine ultrasound – fibroids: solid, benign tumors.

Given there was nothing we could do about them during pregnancy, I took the info with a grain of salt (and admittedly, some anxiety) and moved on. By my second pregnancy less than two years later, they had multiplied, grown, and eliminated the chance of a v-bac but baby boy was born via another c-section and I didn’t think about them again until 4 years later when they began to wreak havoc. (I’ll leave you to go ahead and google what they are capable of.) 😉

These stubborn masses continue to grow in both size and number until menopause. At the age of 34, that was daunting to hear. Even more so, there is no medication available and only two procedures to treat them – an ablation or hysterectomy. An ablation leaves your uterus intact but offers temporary results with most fibroids returning in the years to come. Given we are done having children, it felt like a straightforward choice.

Hysterectomy it is.

Cue all the feelings, but perhaps what caught me off guard most was the attachment I felt to this organ. There is a source of femininity that derives from our womb and the thoughts of how I may feel after this is removed from my body have been interesting to sift through.

After my c-sections, the mere act of lifting myself off the couch was difficult. The way our core supports the entirety of our body does not evade me. Will this elective surgery have a similar recovery? 🥴

My second c-section had its trials when I didn’t respond to the medication well and I felt more than I should have. It took me almost 2 years to be able talk about the experience without having a full-on trauma response.

But, I have healed. I have done the work to get to this balanced and strong place I find myself in now and I have to remind myself daily that I have a firmer foundation now than I did years ago. I am not the same woman who rolled into that operating room in 2015.

I can say with confidence that I will get through this and use it to do good in the world. I will dig deep and allow it to grow me in ways I haven’t yet ventured through.

So see ya later uterus, let’s see who I am without you. ✌🏻

Do you feel like some things feel harder for you t

Do you feel like some things feel harder for you than for others?

It’s probably because they are!

Oh my goodness, how often do we find ourselves comparing one another? We look at the way someone else is living and think, “they make it look so easy.” The truth is, we all have the opportunity to maximize our odds, and it doesn’t look like trying to be the best at something because it’s trendy. It is about finding the right field for YOU.

Pick the right habits for YOU and progress is going to feel a heck of a lot easier. Pick the wrong habits and life will feel like a struggle.

Want to be physically active? Great! Find a means that’s most enjoyable. If you hate running, don’t do it! Find habits that feel pleasurable (or at least ones you don’t hate.)

The truth is we are all born with a makeup of genes that we cannot change. What comes easy to me, may feel hard for you and vice versa.

Habits are so much easier when they align with our natural abilities. Find something that favours your strengths or create your own way that is specific to you.

Genes do not diminish the need for hard work, they make it crystal clear. They are what tell us what and where to place our efforts.

I love leading others, I’ve been this way since I came out of the womb. It feels easy and fun to me to speak to big groups or have intimate 1:1 conversations. Going deep doesn’t feel like a chore, it feels like a thrill. So I began a career where I can use and grow in those skills and it doesn’t feel like work! I love to lift weights and run in the woods but cycling feels like a chore. I’ll never enjoy it you won’t be seeing me compete in Tour De France any time soon. I love to write but reading takes more discipline. The list goes on.

I love this example from the book Atomic Habits:

“Boiling water will soften a potato but harden an egg. You can’t control whether you’re a potato or an egg, but you can decide to play a game where it’s better to be hard or soft.”

What’s something you’re good at and feels easy/pleasurable and what’s something you don’t enjoy that feels hard? 👇🏻

Two years ago I was lounging in my backyard sippin

Two years ago I was lounging in my backyard sipping beer while I waited for the ‘two week lockdown’ to lift.

It didnt take long for me to understand that this foreign way of life may be here to stay longer than expected and so, I started to reevaluate things. Sitting around sipping IPA got old quick, and I decided that it was time to find some coping mechanisms that were healthier for both body and mind.

I decided to get brutally honest with myself about the life I wanted to live vs. the life I was actually living based on the habits I was (and was not) practicing. I began to recognize that who I felt I was meant to be deep deep down in my soul, was going to take some work and I was ready to get uncomfortable.

I started to exercise every morning, eat a little cleaner, drink a little less. These changes sparked something in me — the motivation to really shake things up.

They were the catalysts.

I dove all in.

I made physical exercise a non-negotiable, ate food that nourished me, submersed myself into accountability amongst like-minded women and connected consistently with friends that lit me up. I wrote, read good books, leaned into my faith, went to therapy and finally gave myself permission to build the life I was called to live.

As I established this foundation of a new normal, I watched my life begin to change. I watched as everything around me felt more joyful. I became a better wife, mother, friend and family member. I went back to school and grew my business which now enables me to serve other women on their own journey. The ‘snowball effect’ is the real deal.

Looking back on these last two years and all I have accomplished (and continue to strive for), it is a reminder that sometimes all it takes is ONE moment to change the trajectory of everything. One decision that says, ‘time to shake things up.”

Where were you two years ago? Where are you now? Maybe your moment happens today.

What story have you been telling yourself? Today

What story have you been telling yourself?

Today during a coaching session we uncovered some incredibly powerful truths and it got me thinking.

What if the story we have been telling ourselves about who we are has reached its expiry date?

Do you feel like the narrative in your mind about what determines your identity and worth has left you feeling shackled down?

Maybe it’s time to rewrite it.

I believe there comes a time when we have to figur

I believe there comes a time when we have to figure out what we really want our life to look like and who we want to be, and then say “no” to anything that is not in alignment with it and “yes” to what is.

Sounds so straightforward right? Like ‘Okay Kim, cool. Got it!’ But this can be some tough work and will look a little different for everyone. How we say “no” or set boundaries will vary. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, a habit — saying “no” requires us to be brave.

However, saying “yes” can feel just as hard because often it pushes us outside of our comfort zone and we’ll, we tend to like our little bubbles. 🙃

What if we started to pause more often before our choices and ask ourselves, “is this in alignment with the life I’m building?”

If you sat with yourself for a moment and allowed yourself to be really honest, what are some things you could say “no” or “yes” to?

“You have no idea how much this translates into

“You have no idea how much this translates into your life.”

These words from super trainer @amoila_cesar as we wrap up another program.

No matter how many programs I do or how habitual these workouts are, I never cease to get emotional when I complete the last one.

Accomplishing things MATTER and there is no scale for how big or small — each accomplishment is a part of your journey.

We have all been through hard times or had someone who’s doubted us. But you know what matters most? How YOU pick up the pieces and show up day in and day out.

You know how you can serve this messy 🌎? Be the best version of yourself so you can go out there and be someone that inspires.

Maybe you think it’s just a little home workout, to me it’s so much more.

So here’s your reminder to celebrate yourself for even the seemingly smallest wins, build up that personal bank account of confidence in yourself. Watch your baseline evolve and your life change. 🙌🏻

Imposter Syndrome - doubting your abilities, feeli

Imposter Syndrome - doubting your abilities, feeling like a phony and like you don’t belong where you are or where you want to be!

While this syndrome generally affects high-acheiving people who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments, many of us combat it on a daily basis. What it often looks like is negative thoughts around self worth, feeling deserving and belonging.

I’m here to remind you that it’s all lies. You actually ARE worthy, you ARE deserving and you DO belong.

Have you ever done some deep diving into the land of intuition and gotten really straight with who you are being called to be or what you are being called to step into but felt riddled with fear because you feel like you’re a fraud? LIES. You can actually be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do!

Don’t let that sneaky imposter syndrome stop you from living a life full of purpose. You got this.
