oh hi!! it has been a minute since I have sat down with you all to share things that have been on my mind.
lately, I feel like I’ve been going through a personal evolution. rediscovering my self and getting back to the things that feel like a resounding “hell yes” in my soul – rather than just accepting the “hell no’s”.
for so long, I got used to the mundane and was content with being comfortable. and that is a major problem that not only is a disservice to yourself and true calling… but also to those around you. comfort and growth do not exist in the same place. I felt like I was stuck in a way. to me, when you feel stuck, it just means you need change. I hated my job. I didn’t really love where I lived. I didn’t have a routine. I ate like shit. all roads pointed to a desperate need for change.
so? what does one do when that happens? well…. for me, it was my sign to start writing a new chapter. I could either continue on with not living up to my full potential, or I could take control of my own life and do something about it. it was time for a new era.
this revelation was freeing and equally scary. it was legit thrilling – something I hadn’t felt for awhile. the opportunities were endless and fully in my control. I used this ball of excitement and dove headfirst into the Kaelyn rebrand. I redesigned TPA. rediscovered myself through this branding course (actually life changing). I moved across the country to a new city that I love. I spent months applying to jobs and looking for opportunities. I faced hundreds of rejections and didn’t let it get me down. I finally got to quit that soul-sucking job. I lost 15 pounds. I eat healthyish and workout at least 3x per week. I meditated for the first time. I got back into gymnastics after a 13-year hiatus and did backhandsprings again. I started my dream job (!!!). I did everything within my power that sparked some sort of joy within my core and only did things that I wholeheartedly wanted to do.
I finally created the version of ~me~ that I longed for (and ignored) for yearsssss. believe me – it was hard. there were many days I wanted to give up, especially with the loss of a loved one in the middle of all of this. that crushed me, but I used it was power to keep going because that’s what they would want me to do.
it feels so liberating to finally reach a point in my life that I feel proud of. throughout this transformation the one thing that never wavered was sticking true to my gut and following my “hell yes’s”. not anyone else’s. the outcome of that has truly brought me to a place of peace, acceptance, and happiness.
this is a new era. for me & for the page avenue. thank you always coming along for the ride! I have a feeling this next chapter is going to be a good one.
