For the last few years, I’ve been suppressing a lot of emotions from all the pain I felt from being financially embarrassed in 2018-2020 

I would numb all this pain with substance abuse and what happens when we do this?

We shut down, we treat everything like it’s not a big deal and we just don’t live authentically 

This behavior and pattern lead me to have trust issues with everyone but that was just a deep reflection of me in the mirror

In the last year, the relationships I have built have been quite impactful on my life and I had to let go of being “tough” and be more “me”

What’s does that mean?

Showing UP authentically ( the highs, the lows, and the in-between 😉 )

Feeling a deep sense of gratitude as I write this, I want to talk to you about the Dream Team Academy

I’ve always looked at my students in the academy like family and I pour as much of me as possible into them

Whether it’s telling them about how much carbs to eat, how low they should squat, or just connecting to them on a personal level

Just recently I’ve been building stronger relationships with every single one of them but I’m not doing that through “coaching” or “flexing”

I’m giving them a safe space to be authentically themselves

So all the shame I felt for being a failure the last 2 years, I’ve used these lessons to inspire all 71 of them to help them live a fulfilling life too

I feel completely aligned and I sleep peacefully at night knowing that every day our bond gets stronger through blood, sweat, and tears

Shame isn’t your Achilles heel

Shame is necessary to heel, grow and inspire
