๐ค๐ผThe day I became a @spartan ๐ช๐ผ #challengeyourself #10k #getinthemoment #spartan #spartanrace #spartan2025 #spartangirl #becomethebestversionofyourself #mudisfun
30 days. One breath at a time. Yoga challenge complete.
What started as a challenge became a journey of commitment, balance, and inner strength. Each day brought new breakthroughs, nervous system regulation, more presence and most of all peace.ย
April had me either upside down in crow pose or grounded in mountain pose, there was no in-between. This month brought immense growth, some of it deeply uncomfortable, but every moment was necessary.ย
There were many moments I wanted to give up on the challenge. Life kept throwing obstacles my way, and it felt relentless. Intrusive thoughts of not having "time" for yoga.
Each time I stepped onto the mat, I began to see how closely my practice mirrored my life. Holding airplane pose in 98ยฐ heat, sore and exhausted, made me realize that a pose is much like a life lesson. It can be challenging, uncomfortable, but ultimately strengthening when you push through. Stillness became clarity. Breath became strength. I learned to pause, breathe, and move forward with grace even when it was hard. That simple mindset shift changed everything. It helped me stay committed, not just to the challenge, but to myself.
I started setting a daily intention. Something I could carry with me both on the mat and through the rest of my day. One that truly stuck with me was: โWhen I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.โ โLao Tzu. That intention became a turning point.
I began to loosen my grip on what no longer served me. In the process, I faced loss, heartbreak, and grief, but also growth. As I kept releasing, life started to meet me with unexpected rewards. It was as if the more I let go, the more space I made for what was meant for me. Sometimes, you really do have to lose some to win some.
This mindset has allowed me to step into a new version of myself, fully and unapologetically. Iโm embracing my inner goddess, honoring both the light and the shadow within. No longer hiding, just becoming. Meanwhile, I will continue to improve my bb grasshopper, dancers pose and the splits.

6 years ago the girl on the left was hiding behind railings to take pictures feeling ashamed and embarrassed of her body. Fast forward six years to the girl on the right who is confident in who she is, no embarrassment about her body or hiding behind railings lol
This transformation is not just about body image but also about my mental and spiritual image. Over the last six years I put in crazy amounts of work to lose 30lbs, move to three different states, embark on a 1 and a 1/2 year sobriety journey and start two successful businesses. I share my accomplishments not because they were easy but because it was a lot of hard work and sacrifice. The hard work and sacrifice have been invaluable for my health, community and well being.
I had been struggling with alcohol, overworking, anxiety, painful thought patterns and a lot of past trauma. I would turn mainly to alcohol instead of dealing w/ addictions to pain. For years I had been wanting to make a change and fully commit to my physical health. In 2019 I had read an article on how studies were showing that magic mushrooms were helping with alcohol addiction, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I decided to go on the journey of micrdosing and once I had started it was almost like the mushroom itself communicated with me I had to completely quit drinking. So I did.
Slowly but surely I started to make more conscious decisions about the food I ate and my fitness regimen. I began to eat local and organic foods, microdosed 2-3x a week and was working out 3-5x a week. By 2020 I had lost 20lbs, but I still didn't feel confident about myself and suffered from major body image issues. I started to realize I needed to also work on my mental and spiritual health. I was addicted to negative self thought patterns. So I started to do affirmations, journaling and meditation where I could rewrite my self narrative. This really accelerated my healing process.
In 2021 I wanted to start supplementing with functional mushrooms I had heard they were beneficial for anxiety, depression and sports performance. It was difficult to find an organic fruiting body source so I decided to create my own. The functional mushroom product ๐๐จ๏ธโฌ๏ธ๐
