Rediscovering Roots with Beet-V8 Juice: A Journey of Wellness and Self-Love
Hey Wellness Warriors, today I’m excited to share with you the beginning of my May Warrior Commitment—a journey that revisits the transformative practice of juicing, a path that has significantly shaped my life. Over a decade ago, I hosted my first 30-Day Challenge. As a leader, it propelled me to show up for others and, finally, for myself in ways I had never envisioned. Today, I find myself at a similar transformative juncture.
The Decision to Choose Health Over Vanity
The past year has been one of the most challenging periods of my life, marked by personal trials including the decision against reconstructive surgery—a choice that prioritized my health over appearance. This decision, while difficult, is a testament to self-love and acceptance, despite battling body dysmorphia. In preparation for potential surgery, I had gained weight, which now serves no purpose in my journey. This isn’t just about shedding physical weight; it’s about releasing the emotional and psychological burdens that have accumulated, symbolized by this weight.
The Power of Juicing and Commitment
This morning, I kicked off the challenge with what I call a Beet-V8 juice—a vibrant blend aimed at nurturing my body and spirit. You know I added this all to my Nama J2 Juicer to make it super simple to prep and clean! Click on the link to shop and save with our WELLNESSWARRIOR discount.
Here’s what I used:
- 1 head of celery
- 1 red pepper
- 2 full carrots
- 1 beet
- 1 tomato
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 cup cilantro

A Commitment to Self-Love and Grace
This journey is about more than nutrition; it’s a holistic embrace of wellness, acknowledging the immense challenges and extending grace to oneself amidst life’s storms. The past year, despite its darkness, has brought profound growth and clarity.
