It’s been a while since I have felt confident and well enough to shoot a set. At the beginning of 2020, I was nearing burn out, I drank a ton, are a lot of shit and was working as a restaurant manager. It was a nonstop life that produced unhealthy habits to cope.
When Covid shut down my restaurants, it was an unexpected break; an OUT from the industry. Suddenly my life slowed down enough to realize I felt shitty - depressed, aimless, exhausted and unwell. Eating mostly junk or whatever was fast and accessible left me sluggish. I had migraines, stomach aches and anxiety.
I started working with a fitness/life coach - it has taken me two years but for the first time in fucking eons - I feel good. And I don’t mean a body image good (also that was a nice benefit), I mean mentally, emotionally and physically good. My headaches are gone, I don’t clench my teeth all the damn time, my food choices nourish and energize me instead of leaving me feeling sick and depleted. I went from drinking everyday to having maybe two/three drinks a month, I feel rested, I sleep better, my feelings of anxiety are manageable.
Fast forward - here I am now; these photos celebrate me. I hope you all enjoy them. I look forward to shooting more soon and submitting sets for review.
❤️
