Journey to wellness...
Having struggled with self esteem and confidence at various moments of my life, I am sharing my wellness journey in hopes that it may inspire and encourage you to always love and embrace the body you're in.
This photo was taken in 2021 at my friend's wedding vow renewal at my heaviest weight of 235lbs. Believe it or not, this was one of my most favorite photos primarily because I loved the awesome silk press my Get Jazzy Hair stylist @jasmine_hairdoctor has done for me [my hair is usually in an afro or sleek puffy ponytail which I love] and I felt 'safe' in my black dress and bodysuit which supported me with concealing the excess weight I had gained over the years after having a child, working as a high school educator, let's not forget that lockdown year of COVID, and many other daily stressors.
Nevertheless, I felt and still feel I looked great! Then one evening, I got one the scale...whoa...I wasn't this heavy when I was pregnant! Not to mention my knees and back were beginning to bother me. Even with these 'flags' I still hadn't taken my health as serious as I should...until my parent was diagnosed with cancer and the other parent had to have knee-replacement surgery. With the encouragement of my love and life partner Phillipsin, observing how his own journey to holistic health and wellness had less to do with 'dieting' and more to do with 'self love and care', I decided to make a lifestyle change for me. How else was I going to be able to keep up with my super active tweenager... :)
Just Breathe...You've Got This!
Empower Growth
I have been where most of us are. I was overweight, tired, and felt like I was stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk and self-deprecation. Now, down to 184lbs and counting, I am not only physically healthier but mentally healthier as well. Holistic wellness truly begins with adjusting our mindsets to loving the skin we are currently as we journey to self-care and healing beyond a simple 'diet'.
K Luminous is a blog where I document my journey of holistic wellness. I aim to share tips, stories, and experiences to help others understand how to have a healthier lifestyle. My blog is the place to go to for those looking to find motivation and accountability in their own journey. Below, you will find some of the items I love and have tried that have supported me on my journey.
