It has been a very long year.❤️ A year that has both built me, and at times broken me. I have struggled with major back pain both quietly, sometimes silently, and at times undeniably loudly to my friends and family. Life always has a way of teaching us in the hard moments... but man this is a lesson I avoided learning for a long time. After a year and half of pressing forward and struggling through, I came to the understanding that sometimes it’s not about the stamina you need to keep going, but the willingness to stop, rest, and get the help we need. 🤝❤️ Some of you may have noticed that I took a major pause on my workout routines and now you know why. It has been a trying time for both my body and mental health but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! 🙌🏻 🙏🏼🎉 Through tears, sacrifice, and maybe a little (a lot) of stubbornness. 😂 I’m SOOO grateful to Dr. Bae at @laspine_ and @drradyrahban for taking my L5S1 disc and making her pretty (aka functional) again. 💃🏼 @bsiebelmitchell I could not have been on this journey without you.🤍 @mavenpt you saved me with your hands, heart and guide of perseverance... 🤲 never underestimate physical therapy! And now with my new accessory of a back...I’m back baby 😏💪 and ready to continue to strengthen, grow, learn, and make the most of this life with all of you! ❤️
