From SURVIVING to THRIVING... Growing into adulthood was a transformational period of time for personal growth. When I first moved out, I was constantly stressed about circumstances that were out of my control. This resulted in lack of boundaries because I'd rather "keep the peace" and let people walk all over me. I started suppressing my voice in order to have others think that things were okay when they were really bothering me internally. Mentally draining, physically stressed - not a good combo. I told myself enough was enough. I need change. I crave change. The start of my wellness page begun when I found myself unable to express myself and become who I truly want to be, knowing that not many people would resonate with positivity posts on my private account. I re-evaluated my habits, created this account to step outside of my comfort zone and document my journey into become the girl of my dreams. I listened to my intuition and it definitely grew (and continues to grow) into something much bigger than myself. I have found my purpose to inspire and be the role model figure to young girls who are going through adolescence years, for them to embrace and tap into their authentic and unique selves, to care LESS about what other people think and care MORE about finding ways to be grateful in whatever stage of life & situation they are in. I hope to continue being that role model I never had growing up, creating a community that's worth remembering - your voices and unique attributes is enough. Mentally beautiful > Physically beautiful This is just the beginning of sharing my story with you and a kind reminder to always love one another, be grateful in every moment and trust that things are always working out better than expected. Sending you love always, Nicole
