WHY I CREATED
SAD TO SAVAGE

In July of 2020, I was really freaking sad.

Like at rock bottom in my own personal hell. I was making unhealthy choices physically and mentally and every area of my life felt so dark. I gained weight, stopped taking care of myself, cried myself to sleep almost every night, constantly compared myself to others, stopped hanging out with friends because I was embarrassed of how I looked and I was so fkn cruel to myself.

I was soooooo sad and got to the point where I was like, “okay I am scared of my thoughts and need to try to do something to save myself.”

I did not reach out for help or tell others I was struggling.

I am the second oldest of six kids and part of me just couldn’t let my siblings known how badly I was hurting. I had always been the strong and happy one and I wanted to stay that way in their minds. I turned to online resources to save myself.

That led me to finding close to no one and nothing that actually TAUGHT me how to change my life, just people and things saying TO do it which honestly frustrated the helllll out of me and initially made me feel even more hopeless.

I quickly realized that if my sisters experienced a time in their lives where they felt hopeless and alone they would find the same results. This was my drive behind learning how to change my world and the reason I discovered the key to going from sad to savage. I kept telling myself if I could figure it out I could help them and even help other peoples sisters or someone that doesn't have a sister and that was the thought that kept me going failure after failure.

One day I decided that I would listen to an audiobook to see if that made me feel better.

That thought led me to be like, ‘hmm I guess I will listen to it while going on a walk!’

I realized I didn’t even have time to go on a walk because I was working 3 jobs and decided I would wake up just a little bit before work to go on that walk. I luckily already had an audible subscription from a summer I spent alone interning in DC. I had a 2-hour commute, got it to kill the time and honestly didn't take the time to cancel my subscription.

After googling 'Self-help books' I bought 'The Power of Habits'.

I will forever be indebted to that book for introducing me to the sole information that has completely changed my life (and that is now allowing me to help ya'll change yours!)

Since then, my entire perspective of myself, my world, and life has changed. I went from sad, struggling, making terrible choices in every aspect of my life to a grateful, growing and now a freaking savage lol.

A FEW AREAS OF MY LIFE THAT HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED ON MY JOURNEY:

I went from waking up 5 minutes before my first meeting to taking control of my mornings and created a kick-ass productive routine that starts when I wake up at 5:20 am. I now workout, walk, write self-love affirmations, make breakfast, meal prep and sometimes even go to the grocery store all before starting my work day.

I lost 25lbs and created a healthy daily workout habit but more importantly, I learned that working out is something I get to do for my mental health and to take care of my body. I completely changed my mindset surrounding it and know now that it is not something I have to do to look skinny so that others will approve of me. It is something that makes me feel good and that I love. Also I am pretty sure I m strong enough to lift up a car now and I love it.


I went from looking in the mirror and saying the nastiest, cruelest things to being SO kind to myself and my body. I genuinely love myself, support myself, and have created a mindset that allows me to try new things, be confident, and love my life.

*TRIGGER WARNING*

I learned healthy and sustainable eating habits. I struggled in the past with a rollercoaster of eating disorders and am now SO proud to say that I have healed and changed the mental and physical habits surrounding them. I NEVER diet (nor do I believe in diet culture) and eat what I want when I want. I also no longer feel massive amounts of shame after eating.

I do not fear or feel judgment from others, and I no longer judge others. This one is so crazy. Because I have worked to create the habit of not feeling judgment from others, I have felt a new type of freedom that has allowed me to truly blossom. It is the reason I am here today writing this page. I want every single person to know this feeling. I also want everyone to know the human connection and lessons I now learn daily by changing the habit of judging others and by no longer fearing judgement from others.

I went from being in an unhealthy relationship to finding a person that genuinely loves and respects me in a way my dad would be so proud of. And not only that, I have improved relationships with friends, family members, and coworkers.

There is not one part of my life that has not changed for the better…

and I am forever grateful I am in a position where I can now help others experience the life I figured out how to create. I KNOW that this is my purpose, and I am SO grateful for the time in my life when I was at rock bottom.

I started sharing my journey on Instagram but recently took it to TikTok to help others who felt how I did. Now I have created The Sad to Savage Six-Week course to do just that!

I have been working on this course for months, even before growing an audience on TikTok and it is truly a full-circle dream come true to have it be ready and offered to those who need it. I cannot wait to meet, teach and guide you all on your journey to healthy habits and your dream life. Thank you for being here, for believing in me, and for choosing to believe in yourself. You are capable and you are SO deserving of the life of your dreams.

This will be your 'June of 2020' to reflect on and feel grateful for.

I love you, I am so proud of you and am SO excited for you.

Now, let's go from Sad to freaking Savage!
