I avoid mirrors at Ross. You know those full body mirrors at the end of the aisles? I swear to you they are absolutely distorted like those weird ass House of Mirrors at the state fair.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with my body. When I was young, I rocked my hourglass figure and big ol’ booty (those were the days before Beyoncé’s curvy curves took center stage). But I hated my calves.
I loved that I felt solid and strong. But I hated the fact that one of my boobs decided to stop growing in junior high.
Whatever, body.
And when Hashimotos barged into my life at 19, I went from hating parts of my body to just being royally pissed off.
I’m not sure when it all happened but my relationship with my body was like living with a roommate who I really didn’t like a whole lot, but they paid the rent.
Have you ever been around someone you really don’t like, so you just tolerate them? And when they need something, you reluctantly give them what they need because, well, you’re not a total bitch?
Or is that just me?
So my contentious relationship with my body continued. I ignored it until it screamed at me–and then I’d reluctantly feed it. Water it. Maybe take it for a walk here and again.
But I sure as hell didn’t love it.
And for years, I read every book on fad diets, exercise routines, and nutrition, but it didn’t come from a place of love. It came from the continued disappointment I felt as the weight packed on and stayed on. Clearly, I did not trust my body.
And as my healing journey took an interesting turn, I started to truly understand what it means to be a spiritual being who has a body. I began to understand that this body that I’ve ignored for so long is the vessel that currently houses my spirit. It’s what feels the feels. It’s where old trauma had been stuck and the journey of healing was actually a spiritual endeavor. I learned that my ability to intuitively connect with others and to connect with Spirit was experienced in my physical body. And as I healed old trauma, I was able to activate my intuition in ways I didn’t even know was possible.
So here I am, consciously undoing the old patterns of behavior and creating a loving relationship with the body I resented for so long.
​
Here I am LEARNING TO LOVE AND APPRECIATE MY AGING BODY (even as menopause slaps me around every other day).
Are you ready to join me?

Allow your eyes to slowly scan from the top of your head, to your face, and then to the dips and curves of your body.

Testimonials from the Last Challenge
The 21 Day Worthiness challenge with Dr. Isela Garcia was one that I entered with a belief that it would be easy. I have spent the past year intentionally working on feeling worthy and felt I had reached a really great point in life where I felt peace and found calm. I joined believing that I would only reinforce what I had already discovered, and was excited to have that affirmation.
I could not have been more wrong!! This challenge took me to places I had never explored before and allowed me to uncover really deep emotional wounds I didn't even realize I had. I was able to tap into my past hurts, shame, and guilt without judgment but with compassion, love, and forgiveness.
Isela was exceptional at providing clear and concise guidance on how to navigate feelings and emotions, backed with personal testimony as well as research and science. Within the 21 days, each experience was an excavation of the past to uncover how I show up in the world and how/why I feel worthy/unworthy of different things (love, health, relationships, business, etc.). Isela was protective of the space and ensured each of us felt safe within it. She was personable, relatable, and participated along with us. It was a beautiful example of co-creation in action!
This experience is one that I will be doing again as I know there are many more gems I can gain from this challenge. If you feel like you already know this stuff....you don't know it at this level! It is deep, deeper than you can imagine, in such an amazing way! Thank you, Isela for your steadfast guidance, support, and unconditional love!

I have had a totally transformational February, thanks to you and your generosity! The timing could not have been better in my personal journey to dig into and let go of what has been keeping me small.
When I saw the 21 day challenge posted on day two, I did not hesitate to join. I had been asking Spirit to connect me to a way to work with you. Prayer answered!
I have never participated in a workshop of this nature before and certainly never crossed the finish line. You had my attention from the very beginning with your Facebook lives filled with so much theory, neuroscience, spiritual perspective and practical applications. The daily exercises required real reflection and were gritty at times, but totally doable. I let intuition and spirit help me pour it out onto the page, so I could dissect and analyze and take action to release the old stories.
After decades, many decades, of personal growth work, I am amazed at how much trauma, shame, blame, and guilt were still hanging around and whispering in my ear every day. The underlying hum of “not good enough” was so much a part of my psyche that I didn’t even notice. The unworthiness stayed deep undercover, hidden by my perky optimism and productivity.
Thankfully, I have uncovered lots of layers of baggage to release and lost parts of myself to reclaim. The process is well underway, and I already feel an energetic shift.
I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
