Hi, I’m Mary

I’m your guiding force on this journey.

I’m a former bikini fitness model and competitor turned self-love and confidence coach. It’s my goal to change the notion of health, fitness, and beauty into one that inspires you to love yourself first.

During the retreat, I’ll be hosting daily workshops for you and your retreat sisters on healing body-image struggles, transforming your relationship with food, cultivating self-love and creating confidence in your life. You’ll also have private coaching time with me to make for a powerful and transformative retreat experience.

I will not be sharing my usual posts this week. Instead, I’ll be using this time to direct energy and attention towards black voices.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll also be donating all of this month’s proceeds from my e-book sales to @colorofchange so if you need body-image support, that is available to you.

Stop👏 Trying👏 To👏 Learn👏 About👏 Racism👏 From👏 White People👏 That’s part of the problem. Here’s a list of resources created by black people:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Books to read:
So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo (@ijeomaoluo)
How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi (@ibramxk)
Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad (@laylafsaad)
The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander

Courses to take:
@thegreatunlearn by @rachel.cargle
@ihartericka ‘s courses in her bio
@ckyourprivelege by @myishathill
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Note: this is just a starting point and some of the work I’m diving into. There are many, many more black people to learn from. Go find ‘em.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Edited note: do NOT reach out to black people asking them to educate you. It’s not their job and it is very exhausting to be flooded with DMs asking for free labor. Pay for the work they already have out there!

Wearing a bra should be a personal choice, not a social norm. With the quarantine, I’ve completely ditched my bras and it feels sooo good. I can’t believe I’ve been forcing myself to wear those boob prisons for so long just because it’s “sexier” or more “socially-acceptable.” Ladies, these are social constructs!!! Unless YOU feel better wearing a bra, there is nothing that indicates that bras are better for your boobs. In fact, I’ve actually found that I’m able to breathe deeper, have better posture, and feel more comfortable without a bra. What I hate is that sometimes when I go to like the grocery store, I force myself to put on a bra just to avoid the stares from people. It’s so fucked up that women have to live their life constantly being conscious of the male gaze, but it’s the reality. Not to mention all the ways we’re supposed to manipulate our appearance simply to be accepted in society (hair, makeup, bras, clothes, no “resting bitch face” but “don’t smile too much or else it’s flirting”, etc 🙄). Questioning these social constructs and refusing to obey them (when it feels safe to do so of course) has been fucking LIBERATING. 10/10 would recommend. 🙌
How do you feel about bras?? No judgment either way, I’m just genuinely curious!!

Here to remind you that your bumpy lumpy butt is cute too!! I know with swim season being here, the thought of putting on a bikini can be anxiety-provoking, but please please don’t let your body IMAGE take away from your life EXPERIENCE. Put it on anyways, go lay out in the sun, and enjoy your life!! ♥️

P.S. The first pic was taken in portrait mode and the second wasn’t. See how portrait mode blurs the background? That’s how I take all my pictures: on iPhone in portrait mode!
