Part 6: The Unapologetic Truths I’m Taking With Me

If you’ve been following along from Part 1, you know this hasn’t been some Instagram-perfect glow-up.

It’s been ugly-cry nights, deep therapy dives, hard truths, and harder boundaries.

It’s been falling down, getting back up, and then tripping over my own damn shoelaces — only to get up again.

It’s been breaking cycles that have been in place since I was a little girl…

… and deciding that my story does not end with the abuse, the trauma, or the lies I once believed about myself.

And you know what....

All that has led to me being 1000% certain of a few things, let's call them the unapologetic truths I know for sure. These are those things I will not allow to dim my light, quench my fire, and for goodness' sake... You won't hear me meekly saying "I'm so sorry" for these again!

Unapologetic Truths I Know for Sure

1️⃣ You are not broken beyond repair.

I don’t care what you’ve been through — your worth hasn’t expired.

2️⃣ You are allowed to take up space.

Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. In rooms, in relationships, in life.

3️⃣ Boundaries are love.

They’re not walls to keep people out — they’re gates that only let the right ones in.

4️⃣ Asking for help is power.

Therapists, coaches, healers, friends — they’re not crutches. They’re scaffolding while you rebuild.

5️⃣ Your sensuality is not shameful.

It’s yours to own, to express, to protect, to enjoy. It’s not for the world to decide what’s “too much” or “not enough.”

The Invitation

If you’re reading this thinking,

“That’s great for you, but I’m too far gone.”

I’m going to stop you right there.

You’re not.

Self-love isn’t about suddenly thinking you’re flawless.

It’s about deciding you’re worth the damn effort.

It’s about treating yourself like someone you actually care about.

It’s about looking in the mirror — before you’ve lost the weight, before the scars have faded, before your life looks “perfect” — and saying:

“I’m worth showing up for.”

Your Permission Slip To:

The Beautiful Truth

Here’s the part I never believed when I was living in self-loathing:

It does get better.

One day, you’ll catch yourself laughing and realize it’s been hours since you thought about the past.

You’ll look in the mirror and not flinch.

You’ll wake up without dread in your chest.

And you’ll understand that your worth was never lost — it was just buried under years of other people’s lies, unhealed pain, and your own disbelief.

Self-love doesn’t mean you think you’re perfect.

It means you’ve stopped apologizing for existing.

And that, my friend, is the most beautiful truth of all.

📣 Now it’s your turn — tell me in the comments or DM me:

What’s one step you can take this week toward rebuilding your relationship with yourself?

Let me be your cheerleader along your journey to self-love!

Up Next…

I’m closing The Rebuild with my heart full and my fire lit — because the next series is going to be a different kind of raw.

This time, we’re going deep into something I’ve lived, fought, and studied:

Diabetes, GLP-1s, and how to help manage your blood sugar (Disclaimer - I am not a doctor - I am not diagnosing and not treating anything).

Here’s what’s coming:

1️⃣ My Family’s Story: Why Blood Sugar Management Is Personal for Me

2️⃣ Natural Diabetes Support: Where Medication Falls Short

3️⃣ The Role of Insulin Resistance in Midlife Weight Gain

4️⃣ How to Increase GLP-1 Naturally (Without Injections)

5️⃣ The Gut-Metabolism-GLP-1 Connection: What to Eat More Of

6️⃣ Food, Fiber & Fasting: A Natural Approach to Blood Sugar Balance

If you’ve ever felt like your body has turned against you — especially in midlife — this series will show you it’s not betrayal, it’s biology. And once you understand it, you can work with your body instead of fighting it.

Cheers,

Regina
