Thank you to this AWESOME crew from @canvas_sf who busted their butts to raise $ for @belwoprescuecentre. And thank you @uforiastudios for hosting.

*GIVEAWAY* . How amazing would it be if each morning when you got dressed you could be reminded that YOU ARE ENOUGH? Well, now you can. . My husband and I have a side business called SockGeek.com (link in bio) where we sell running and workout socks from brands like Feetures & Balega. Each October, Balega issues a limited-edition line of socks called Grit & Grace in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. These socks feature inspiring phrases and $1 from each pair goes to Breast Cancer Prevention Partners. Awesome, right? I’ve always loved these socks, but this year’s phrases are my absolute favorite: . YOU ARE ENOUGH . KINDNESS WINS . GRACEFUL WARRIOR . I want to help you slip on some self love when you get dressed, that’s why I’m GIVING AWAY 3 PAIRS of Balega Grit & Grace socks featuring “You Are Enough.” . HOW TO ENTER: #1: Like this post #2: Tag someone that you want to hear the message “You Are Enough.” Winners will be randomly selected. . #giveaway #youareenough #socks #bcam #selflove

Work out AND help others. It’s a win-win. I’m teaching a special GRIT class @uforiastudios on Saturday to help raise 💰 for a team from my church (@canvas_sf ) who is going to Kenya to support the children at @belwoprescuecentre . Anyone can come! It’s $25 and you can sign up at www.canvas-sf.com/events

The marketing/PR side of my brain looks at these signs on my street and thinks, “Clever. Good use of rhyming, and tying something everyone uses - Amazon! - to your product.” But the part of my brain that is focused on my health and well-being looks at these signs and says, “Not helpful. I see what you are doing: trying to make me feel bad so I’m motivated to buy your clothes. Motivated to buy and keep a membership at your gym.” . I’m NOT going to let your message passively seep into my subconscious and quietly fuel my body image struggle. I realize you’re not THE reason for my struggles but you are A reason. I don’t need to experience pain in the gym or workout studio to enjoy a glass of champagne. And my body is ALREADY here! Just the way it is. I’m going to honor what i have today vs. hoping a ripped, toned body of the future magically makes me happy, feel fulfilled and at peace. I’m going to use my body as an instrument to live my life. . If you want to market your clothes or your gym to me, remind me how exercise and movement makes me FEEL good. How exercise helps decrease stress and anxiety. How exercise keeps my body working properly, like a tune-up for a car. How exercise equips me to go on fun adventures like hiking a volcano in Bali. . Those are messages I can get behind, and maybe my money will follow too. . #bodyimage #exercise #fitness #healthateverysize #beyondbeautiful #bodylove
