After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that we’re moving our Rooted & Rising community back to Facebook! First, I just want to say thank you. This community has never been about the platform it’s always been about the women inside it. I’m so grateful for each of you and the encouragement you’ve brought to this space. As much as I’ve enjoyed trying something new, I keep coming back to what worked best for us. Our conversations felt more natural, it was easier to connect with one another, and everything was simply in one place. A few reasons we’re making the move: 🌿 Facebook is already an app most of us use, so there’s one less app to keep up with. 🌿 Photos, conversations, and comments are easier to engage with. 🌿 Going live and sharing updates feels more seamless. 🌿 Our in-person events are already advertised on Facebook, so everything will be together. 🌿 Women at our events always ask about a FB group Most importantly, I want our community to feel connected not like another app we have to remember to check. No need to make the move just yet! But the earlier the better 😊 Over the rest of the week , I’ll be sharing the Facebook group link, inviting everyone over, and making sure no one gets left behind. Starting next Monday, we’ll officially be back in our Facebook group and that’s where all future discussions, updates, and events will be posted. Thank you for being willing to grow and adapt with me. I’m genuinely excited because I think this move will help us build an even stronger, more connected community. I can’t wait to see you all over there! 💚

Do you make your bed every morning!?

I want to be completely raw and honest today. I failed my StepBet goal and I’m officially out of the running. The last 4 days have been a struggle. I failed Phase 1 of 75 Hard (again), didn’t hit my step goal yesterday, and after very low attendance at Saturday’s event, I found myself feeling defeated. This morning I cried. For a little while, I felt like I was failing in multiple areas of my life. After spending time with family today and giving myself space to process everything and my fiance helping my through it I was reminded of something important: Failure only wins if I quit. So no, I won’t be winning StepBet. I’ll still be getting my steps in. I’ll still be showing up for myself. And tomorrow, I’ll be starting Phase 1 again. Progress isn’t about never falling down. It’s about getting back up one more time than you fall. If you’re in a season where things aren’t going as planned, this is your reminder that one bad day, one failed goal, or one setback doesn’t define you. We keep going. ❤️

Not going to lie, I’ve been a little MIA in here the past couple days 🤧 I didn’t go live yesterday because I’ve been fighting off being sick but I still wanted to show up and share what I have been doing to take care of myself! Nothing crazy or complicated just trying to take care of my body the best way in this situation! • Getting outside for a walk and soaking up some vitamin D ☀️ • Sleeping… a LOT😅 • Staying on top of my hydration (hydration sticks have been a lifesaver) • Drinking my essential amino acids to keep my body supported • eating even though nothings sounds great It’s a good reminder that taking care of yourself doesn’t always mean pushing harder… sometimes it means slowing down and giving your body what it actually needs. If you’re not feeling 100% right now too, don’t feel like you have to go all in just do what you can 💛 Checking in how is everyone feeling this week? What’s one thing you’re doing for yourself today?

It’s the LAST day of the Spring Reset… let’s gooo!!! You just did something most people won’t do!!! You showed up for 30 days straight. That’s not small. That’s discipline, that’s commitment, and that’s YOU proving to yourself what you’re capable of. I am so proud of every single one of you who stuck with it and stayed consistent. Seriously… take a second and let that sink in. Reflect on it. Be proud of it. You earned that. ALSO… we’re not done! We might take a short little breather, but we’re not losing momentum. This is just the beginning. We’re building on this, going deeper, and rising from there. Next challenge details are coming SO soon!!! We are building on this :) For now… celebrate!!! Do something you love this weekend. Get outside, enjoy the weather, move your body. Don’t drop the habit you just put in the work to build because this isn’t something you finished… it’s something you’re rooted in! You’re not just someone who did 30 days of work you’re someone who continues to put in the work! Now I want to hear it!!! What’s your biggest win from this challenge… and what’s next for you? Are you in for the next one? 💛
