For years, I was taught not to trust my own body.

From the ages of 14 to 28, I averaged a doctor’s appointment every three months—because every three months, my life fell apart.

Again and again, I was told:

“Your labs are normal.”
“You’re just depressed.”
“It’s anxiety.”

Then I was handed another prescription—even though medication after medication caused awful side effects and I continued getting sicker. 💔

Today, I am healthier than I have ever been—not because someone finally swooped in and saved me, but because I stopped allowing other people to be the ultimate authority over what I felt inside my own body.

I started listening to her.
I started believing her.
I started asking why.
I started looking beneath the symptoms.
I took responsibility for my healing and refused to stop searching for answers. 🌱

That is what Ashes to Freedom is about.

It’s about rising from everything that taught us to abandon ourselves.

It’s about reclaiming our voices, trusting our intuition, listening to the wisdom within our bodies, and remembering that we are active participants in our own healing. 🔥

Medication can absolutely save lives—but it should never replace listening, investigating, and treating the whole human being.

Chronically ill people deserve more than dismissal and symptom management.

We deserve curiosity.
We deserve informed consent.
We deserve practitioners who keep looking.
We deserve actual care. ❤️‍🩹

If you have ever been told that what you feel is “all in your head,” please hear me:

Your symptoms are real.
Your pain is real.
Your body is communicating with you.
And you are not wrong for continuing to search for answers.

Your healing belongs to you.
Your voice belongs to you.
Your power belongs to you.

It’s time to take them back. 🔥🦋

This is what healing looked like for me today. It wasn’t pretty, peaceful, or inspirational. It looked like a panic attack, endless tears, a nervous-system crash, and loving myself through every fu***ng minute of it. ❤️‍🩹

I’m in the flarey part of my cycle, and the stress of taking my daughter to the ER last night threw me into another crash. Saturday’s crash was physical. Today’s has been much more emotional.

I’ve cried 45,664 times. I’m sad, anxious, painfully self-conscious, and feeling like a burden. I fu***ng hate this.

I wish I could disappear—not for real, but just to escape how I feel. I promise I’m safe. I’m simply being really real about how painful healing can sometimes be.

I know this will pass. I know the cruel thoughts aren’t telling me the truth. I know I could wake up tomorrow feeling like my best self again. But knowing that doesn’t make today hurt any less.

And yet, even inside all this pain, I can still see how deeply blessed I am. 🥹

My furry little nurse hasn’t left my side. My oldest found me having a panic attack, hugged me, and told me everything would be okay. My younger daughter is okay and back at volleyball practice. 🙌🏐

My nervous system is convinced I’m in danger even though I know I’m safe, so I’m giving my body what it needs: warmth, rest, my weighted blanket, my heating pad, and as much gentleness as I can offer myself.

I’m still showing up for my girls in the ways I’m able—and when I’m finished, I’ll come home and keep showing up for myself. 🌱

Because this is what healing looks like, too.

Healing doesn’t always mean the pain disappears. It doesn’t mean we never fall apart again. Sometimes healing is recognizing what’s happening, remembering it will pass, and refusing to abandon ourselves while it hurts.

Sometimes healing is simply learning how to love ourselves through it…

To love ourselves back to life. ❤️‍🩹🌱🦋

If today is a hard day for you too, you are not broken, you are not a burden, and you are not alone. What would loving yourself through today look like? 💜

Today is such a powerful day! 🦁🔥✨

Mind your thoughts and your words, because they will become your reality. Speak life 🌱. Speak healing 💫. Imagine the life you truly want. Visualize yourself doing the things you really want to do. Be the person you really want to be.

The portal has been open and will remain open until the 12th, but the energy of today is only here today ✨️.

Here are some things to think about—or, if you really want to use this energy, journal about: 📝💜

✨ If I truly believed my possibilities were limitless, what would I allow myself to dream?

✨ Where is life asking me to be more courageous?

✨ What does abundance look and feel like in the life I’m creating?

✨ Where am I ready to expand beyond the limits I’ve placed on myself?

✨ What bold action would the most confident version of me take next?

✨ What dream have I been afraid to admit that I really want?

Here are some rituals I’m going to be doing: 🔥♾️

📝 Write down eight of your wildest dreams—without worrying about whether they seem realistic.

🙏 Name eight ways abundance is already showing up in your life.

✨ Choose eight intentions centered around what you’re ready to receive, create, or become.

🔥 Write down the fears, limitations, or beliefs you’re ready to release—and safely burn or tear up the page.

🦁 Speak your desires aloud with courage and conviction.

👣 Take one bold, aligned action toward a dream that’s been on your heart—even if it’s tiny or feels pointless.

♾️ Close your eyes and visualize yourself already living the life you’re calling in. Focus on how it feels.

😇 Ask the Universe for one unmistakable sign that you’re supported as you move forward.

The Universe is listening—but even more importantly, you are listening. Speak life over the future you’re ready to create. You are not waiting for your life to change. You are helping create it. 🔥🦁♾️✨

Today I made the heart breaking choice to stay home and actually enjoy an actual day off instead of going to Bee's volleyball tournament 😔.

It was so hard. I had to allow myself to grieve and cry and journal it out. But I'm so glad I made the choice I did. Once I worked through all the emotions I had a great, healing, relaxing day 🥰.

Healing is hard you guys. Self-love is hard. Putting yourself first can feel so uncomfortable. It can make us feel selfish and so guilty, but that's only because it's unfamiliar. The more we do it the easier it gets and then you'll start to see the magic from it in every area of your life ✨️.

What's one way you've learned to choose yourself lately? I'd genuinely love to hear your story. 🥹✨
