If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, ashamed, or like the gym just isn’t for you — this video is for you.

Hey babes!
Welcome or welcome back!
(excuse my mic noise y'all 🥴😅)

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, ashamed, or like the gym just isn’t for you — this video is for you.

I talk about moving away from gym culture, embracing wellness, and what it really looked like to get comfortable working out again — especially when you’re overweight, ashamed, or just starting out.

⸻

I tell you my perspective on:

• The difference between gym culture and true wellness
• How I learned to move again without shame
• What helped me get comfortable in the gym again
• And why you don’t need overly processed protein foods, 6-day splits, or excessive counting to achieve your goals

I even share how I started working out in private, found quiet gym times, and used a free trainer consultation just to feel less alone.

This video is a little more unfiltered — part storytime, part mindset shift — but I hope it encourages someone who’s just getting started or trying to find their rhythm again.
