Carrying Baby Moon 🌙 was so surreal. I felt the most beautiful and empowered carrying this little light. She’s a such a little goddess and today I was reminded that the light inside of me that carried her doesn’t just leave once we give birth 🌟

Im smiling in this pic because my beautiful belly and the admiration I have for the human body.  So how can I repay my body for taking such good care of me and housing such a light?   This is what I asked myself and last week I got real clear with myself.  And one thing I’ve been doing is taking inventory on what I’m doing with my idle time and making sure it’s not emotional eating.  This quarantine will do that to the best of us!  

Now is a great time to fast, detox and cleanse to reboot our systems for added clarity and immune boosting, and yes weight loss.   Also to feel great, less lethargic and tired and so we’re not running on empty. It’s time to be honest with yourself. Acknowledge that you need to improve and make that commitment to yourself.  We all do. 

Many of us just want things to go back to what they use to pre #covid19 pre #quarantine and pre #stayhome.  But what does that actually do for people who weren’t really going to the gym, but now they miss it, weren’t really taking care of themselves now they miss the idea of it, weren’t really checking inward before?  Let’s start now. If you could change the changeable RIGHT NOW? Start with that. Why not start with your health, your nutrition, your movement? WHY NOT?! 

How can you help yourself “feel better” despite what’s going on in the world you can make better choices.  These days many of us are still not finding the drive or energy to do anything extra because we’re homeschooling, parenting, working whether as as essential worker #thankyou or from home. Many things right now will rob you of your energy especially because the global vibration right now is low. 

So how can we combat this low vibration? One number thing you can do for you and your family is while you’re drinking the sea moss, making teas, steams next time you go grocery shopping, get as much produce as you can.  Get fruits, vegetables, both frozen and fresh.  Healthy carbs. Lean proteins. Coconut, avocado or olive oils instead of vegetable/corn. Eat for your health.  Feed your spirit as well. 

My girls in my Fit Camp are working harder than ever to lead from the front in order to show and guide YOU during this time to give new ideas, recipes new and healthier alternatives to get through this season healthy and thriving.

I am not where I want to be. I realize I’m right where I need to be get to where I’m headed. 

This is the first time I’ve been able to jump and twist without feeling “uneasy” about it. 

This is some of the things they don’t really explain in great detail to moms about your  postpartum journey, post cesarean section delivery.  

Mentally it wasn’t until the last minute  down to hrs before when I finally came to terms that I wasn’t going to be able to naturally deliver or push Baby Moon 🌙.  She was transverse breech so even my DR was hopeful that we’d do a sonogram and shed magically fall into birthing position. 

I wasn’t knowledgeable about the timeline as to when my body would be “back to normal” to be honest I don’t know when or if it ever will be but I shrieked today while exercising celebrating the fact I did some of these moves with ease. No “separation” feeling. No discomfort. May be too much info for some.  But my c-sections mommas know what I’m talking about. No weirdness or total disconnection with your top and bottom part of your body.  

I don’t take it for granted that I waited until I was fully ready to begin these workouts.  Baby Moon 🌙 is 6months. I was not by any means ready at 8 weeks post surgery to do any of these movements.  Not mentally, not physically. I know sometimes you can see others on the same journey coping a lot better, faster. You feel like you’re behind in your own journey. You’re not. You’re right where you need to be. 

Ladies, repeat after me. 

I am in touch with myself mind body and spirit.

I am in tune with my body from head to toe.

I am getting stronger each day. 

I am proud of myself and how far I’ve come. 

I am healing.

I am progressing. 

I am in total alignment with my body. 

I am healthy. 

I am committed and invested in my wellness journey. 

I am experiencing ease and great strength each day I move my body.

“People believe the stories they tell themselves. This is I know to be true. And sometimes the stories we tell ourselves don’t o help us grow but stay stuck year after year.”

Let’s talk about the over saturation of wellness coaches, fitness influencers, light workers, trainers, or even Beachbody coaches. Truth is over saturation doesn’t exist. When we have men & women dying and suffering in silence from illnesses that are preventable. Over saturation is a lie! When you know you sister and brother have a disease that she’s suffering from that can be CURED by the way she eats or moves her body daily. Over saturation is a lie! 

There is only one YOU. Only you can make your mark or tell YOUR story using your voice to inspire and empower others! #YOUBELONGHERE! We belong HERE! Black and brown people are the most UNDER represented in the health & wellness, fitness industry! We are PERIODT!

I represent and speak to the healing of ALL women. But when I see my sisters not put their health at priority it hurts.  Or when I hear my sisters speak and it is riddled with limiting beliefs it hurts.  I always have ppl say I don’t know how you do it, I don’t know how you make time with 4 kids (now Baby Moon 🌙) on the way!! I don’t know how your stay so consistent. I see the way you eat I could never do that! 

People believe the stories they tell themselves. This is I know to be true. And sometimes the stories we tell ourselves don’t o help us grow but stay stuck year after year. 

Today was a day of fun, power talks, smiles, encouragement and women who know who we are and why we’re here!  Especially when we join forces and see how many more faces should be here #representationmatters.  I was so honored to share space with a small population of Queens who are LEADING the pack!! 

Ladies I love showing you what workouts to do and how to eat, I’d love it even more to show you and build with you so you too can pay it forward to your community, your family, your friends. Because the work of teaching and helping others men & women how to take better care of this one body, temple that we have and changing the trajectory of our lives by doing so is work that can never be over saturated.  I’m inviting the first 10 women, couples to JOIN ME, to join us in #fitsoulrevolution. Comment below or Email me at empoweredbycathy@gmail.com for more info on how to lead with Me! 

You belong here love! I want you here right next to me front and center! There is a power house inside us all. Let’s tap into it!

The past few months I’ve been doing a shift, beginning of Jan we moved out of our condo of 11 yrs. And into our new home end of January 🏠, packing, unpacking, than packed again, currently (still unpacking). 2019 started off with us purging lots of “things”, and belongings. It than started the process of us being open to new beginnings, setting new intentions for the new year ahead, my business, how I can reach more women, moms and seeing how I can truly reach struggling moms. This got me to thinking and I began reflecting back to why I started on this journey, where I was mentally and physically, how I felt and knew this is where I would need to lead. 

A healthier lifestyle means a happier mom. A happy help mate. You’re your most happiest when health is not an issue. Am I right?! Which lead me to PREnatal and POSTnatal Fitness because that’s where I needed help the most. Never got it 14 yrs ago. Made better choices 9 yrs ago still didn’t hit the mark until about 4yrs ago and from there things began to make sense and my eyes began to open more and more I learned, got certifications, did the work on myself, found out that indeed it does work so now its time to share. The fact that majority of my Fit Squad are women, moms, busy, pressured and overwhelmed made total sense to me this is what is needed. My sisters need this. While this is a total switch as I recently completed my Round 3 Transform: 20 and I have been doing it since September have become as empowered, strong and feeling accomplished it is time for me to switch gears a bit‼️ While some of my tribe will be going onto their Round 2 with a cardio, HIIT, step, weightlifting program. I’ll be leading ✨To Be Fit Group✨ with some of my mom coaches who have also expressed their struggle to get back into the routine as new moms trying to incorporate healthy living and habits.

To Be Fit Accountability Group will be for all WOMEN of all stages in their wellness journey. It’s for preggo mommas, postnatal moms just starting on their journey who want to learn how to stay active with their changing (or new) body and feel more comfortable during each stage of this journey both pregnancy and afterwards. We’ll be cheering each other on while creating new healthier habits.

I know when I first started on my journey when my I had my babies and wanted to get back to me, I didn’t know where to start. I was a mess, uncomfortable and at home workouts were ideal but I didn’t have the community and support that I am now partnered with nor the tools and mindset that I am equipped with now. I want to offer that to moms because I get it. 

We will be focusing 80% on nutrition fueling our bodies properly and 20% on daily movement. Which means for mommas who don’t yet have clearance to workout post pregnancy this group is for you too!!! You won’t feel lost! Two groups based on your GOALS & NEEDS together we’ll choose the right plan that is more suitable for you. You can always go to the next level as your body & needs change since you will have access to all the tools for all levels of fitness and equipped with over 800 workouts for an entire year.
