FLASHBACK FRIDAY 💫 ⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️ This isn’t a perfectly curated highlight reel of my life—though the first photo might look like it! 💅 Today, I’m feeling reflective and want to share what led me to create The Mindfulness Movement and how I got here. Photo 1: The Beginning? My competitive dance days—an essential chapter in my story. These years were some of my toughest, as my family navigated a messy divorce. Dance became my escape, a sanctuary that still feels like home. It’s where I discovered the magic of storytelling through mindful movement. Photo 2: The ‘Do Everything’ Era 😆 In college, I somehow managed to graduate top of my class while juggling five jobs and continuing my dance journey. Some of my roles included: Studio Experience Team @ Corepower Yoga, Children’s Martial Arts Instructor, Child Life Associate, Montessori Preschool Teacher… and, yes, I taught dance, music, martial arts, and even American Sign Language on the side. All this paved the way for my next adventure… Photo 3: Action-Packed Entertainer Working for the NBA was a wild ride! It was three incredible years filled with fun, creativity, and a community of fellow performers who loved spreading joy as much as I did. Photo 4: My Studies I majored in Psychology with an emphasis on children and minored in Religious Studies. Initially, I aspired to be a Child Life Specialist, but along the way, I found myself on a personal journey to understand my own childhood. My parents’ divorce challenged my early beliefs, prompting me to explore various religions and deepen my understanding of others. Photo 5 and Beyond: The Fitness Industry Even with a full-time job of teaching Yoga & Mindfulness at a charter school, I never gave up my side hustles—teaching dance, training at a Pilates studio, and, of course, yoga. My time in the industry taught me invaluable lessons about business ownership. I’ve seen the inner workings of everything from small studios to massive corporations, learning what I love and what I hope to change. And now, here I am—a small business owner, living my dream. It still feels surreal, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
