Free Course out now: Honing Assertiveness ⬇️ The Trojan Horse of OF (cuz I do coaching there) 🎬 Talk show: Mercedes and the Chap 🎙 Podcast: The MAJic Hour
Ever feel trapped in the cycle of people-pleasing? You're far from alone. 👇
Many of us find ourselves in roles that promise comfort but end in a quiet sense of dissatisfaction.
This habit, while seemingly protective, often conceals our true essence and potential under a
SHOULD I BE MORE CAREFUL WITH WHAT I POST?
Yes, I can go from posting some deeply spiritual ish to a glamour booty vid, and boy do I get tons of flack for it... there’s always someone reprimanding me in the comments, “shoulding” all over me.
Somewhere between booty pics and deep psychological conversations on my podcast, is where I reside... it doesn’t have to sit right with everyone, and it won’t. But those who are open to understanding the walking contradiction that is Me, well, that’s my tribe.
“You should TONE DOWN YOUR SEXUALITY, so people will take you seriously.”..Hmmmm, ever sit back & imagine a world where instead of people spending their precious fleeting time “shoulding” on others, they actually took a moment to look at what’s actually being triggered in them..?
I don’t know anything about sungazing, besides the fact that, as a model, I’ve been staring directly into the sun during outdoor photoshoots for the better part of my adult career. ☀️ Wondering if I’m getting any of the benefits that avid sungazers do...

Now, ask yourself why me jiggling my butt fat made you feel weird...🧐 ...After you’ve sorted through that, decide if you’re interested & committed to growing your knowledge around how fat works in your body, & then, if you feel so inclined, please read more on my Insta! 😉😘
🍑It's a booty-ful Tuesday, dontcha think? 😏
If you had to pick a day of the week to be your Groundhog Day (where the same day keeps repeating itself) which day would you pick?
Been struggling with overeating lately... Don’t freak out! I’m not calling myself fat. I’m not saying that my body isn’t where I want it to be... Just been noticing that when I eat lately it’s more than I need to feel full & I often end up feeling stuffed.
More on my Insta. 😘
What do you see in this pic? 👁 Hips? Curves? Or are you able to see past the superficial?🤔
No, this isn’t necessarily a challenge but I feel like we could all do with a little introspection these days. What say you?😉
TRUST ...this photo has been professionally photoshopped!
My booty skin is no where near that smooth in real life. 🍑
I’m hoping the new wave of “professional editing” will come with a disclaimer of just how things were adjusted. 👁

Got a favorite "go-to" innuendo or phrase to catch others off guard (and no, TWSS doesn't count 🤣)? Drop it in the comments for me here. 👇
Yes I do model and I do post thought provoking captions along side a sexy bikini pic... and this, to some, is seen as a contradiction and uncomfortable... But I have faith in those that can hold two differing ideas in their head at the same time and stand in the grey with me!😘
Lookin’ back at the weekend like...
Pausing to reflect is usually a good thing, but beware of negativity in that space. Remember all of the good that you’ve done and the accomplishments that you’ve made.
Learn from your hiccups and move forward a little bit wiser everyday.
For so long I’ve wanted to connect with all of you on a deeper level in a one-on-one dynamic and now I can!
Plus all the edgy content I can’t post on here will be posted up on there. Head on over to the link in my bio, check it out and LMK what you think. See you there!😘
The California desert is prob one of my favorite places to be, so I’m thrilled to be out here for tonight’s fights!! 🌴

Wasn’t gonna post cuz thought I looked too naked, then remembered that mindset was born from being shamed for being in this body long ago... might delete later.

🇺🇸 On a day when we’re normally celebrating freedom, many of us are, instead, wondering where our freedoms have gone.
So our invitation for today is to contemplate what a free world really looks like. ✌️
Would love to read some of your ideas in the comments.👇
When Lucas & I get together we always make an adventure out of a shoot... last night it was running across the Brooklyn Bridge in a bikini right in the heat of tourist selfie hour.
Pretty sure we offended some peeps w/ our brazenness & my 🍑, but we still managed to get the shot.
Hmmm... Was this 6 inch wide strip of leather meant to be a belt or a skirt? 🤔 ...your guess is as good as mine! 🤷🏽♀️🤣
From work unis to "clash day" during spirit week at school, what's the craziest outfit you've ever thrown together?🩳🦺

Edited vs. Unedited ...still a hot pic either way but it’s good to be reminded that imperfections are human; We can choose to attempt to deny that they exist and suffer through that resistance, or we can embrace them with love and gratitude. We have a choice.

I’ve donated my fair share of blood to mosquitos... I always tend to be the person who gets bit when no one else does; So, it led me to seek out some all natural options for how to repel those blood suckers!
Read more on my Insta to find out which methods work & which ones don’t.
Even though I'm on the beach in a bikini it looks like I was feelin' all them Princess Leia vibes on this day! 😏
Sexy or not, what's the most well-executed cosplay outfit you've ever seen (or donned yourself)?
I got asked what practices I use to get clear and manifest future goals. So, I thought I’d share what’s working for me currently.
I took some time and jotted it all down on my Insta.
Head on over there to hear what my nutrition, exercise & other daily routines consist of.😉
"Oh, yeah? Betcha won’t say it to my face!” 🤣 I feel like that’s the vibes this look gives off. 😂
Being intentional with our words is difficult, isn’t it? Maybe next time we catch ourselves about to say something we *might* regret maybe let’s just hold onto that thought.
😜 This lockdown got you workin' on your silly faces too or is it just me?🤣
What's something you've learned about yourself during this craziness that might not have ever realized before?😉
Y'know..some days you just gotta' put on a brave face, pull up your jorts 👖 and go for it!
What's a goal you've been meaning to put more work into 💪 but just haven't made the time. Drop me a comment and I'll do my best to encourage ya'! 😉
Found this Christmas tree in the lobby of the hotel I’m staying at & posed for this pic, but the reality is that I’m a major GRINCH.
More on this & how the Holidays *actually* make me feel on my Insta!😉

#BellatorSalutes
show this Friday night in Hawaii!
@BellatorMMA
and
@the_USO
partnered to present a special live event free for the troops, along with their friends and families, on December 14th!
In moments, when someone lets the light in, they give the rest of us a chance to bathe in that shine.
And with that, the work I’m doing can be made fully worth it. Thank you to any brave soul that’s able to break through. 🙏 HELL YEAH! You Already Are. 🔮

Westerns have always been amongst my favs when it comes to movies... At the top of my list is Tombstone, of course, and lately I’m into
#Westworld
. Do any of you like westerns? Got any good ones to recommend?
Skating through life like ... J/K, I’m trying not to breathe in this pic cuz if I do I’ll loose my balance and break my 🍑! I don’t know how to roller skate for 💩!
P.S. Dunno where we’d be without emojis. This week my fav emoji is 🤹🏾♀️ . What’s yours?
Saw this from
@AratGymOfficial
today and just had to share! I can’t love this clip enough!
Failure and success are far more related than you may think. Too often we feel that our failure is final, and that is just not the case.

- One of these pics is edited & one is not.
Though it’s unfortunate, the truth is that fake(edited)photos perform better on the social media, but I’m hopeful that by including the raw(unedited)photo as well, it’ll get people opening up to the TRUTH.
I’m renaming Sunday Funday...from here on out it’s Undie Sundie! and instead of raging with friends I’ll be binge watching shows on the couch with my cats.
BTW, anyone have some recommendations on binge-worthy shows? I’m ready for a new one.
2 nights of fights!
Friday night kicks off with the prelims on
@BellatorMMA
’s YouTube channel at 6/5c, then the main event is on
@ParamountNet
at 9/8c.
Saturday night (at a new time) prelims kick off on YouTube at 11:30/10:30c AM with the main card at 10/9c PM on Paramount!
There’s more to be feared by closed minds then by closed doors....
Ever kept a door open for way too long even though you knew at your core it needed to be slammed shut ASAP?... but admitting that truth to yourself would’ve caused your ego some pain?
There’s a whole lotta’ good reasons to be glad I’m half Mexican.... but I’m pretty sure the number one reason is that my skin turns nice and brown in the sun.
Thx for being Mexican Mom. 😋
Where are my tan-skinned peeps at? I wanna’ know what your fav reason for being brown is?
You Already ARE all the things you think you want to be, maybe you just haven’t done the work to be able to see it.
If you look closely at this photo, you can see my implant scars. 👀 Random thing bout me: Years ago, I had 3 breast surgeries in 3 years.
Full story on my Insta!
Working on my “backside barrel” in Tel Aviv.... see what I did there? 😜 But for reals, even in the 1 ft. waves I wasn’t stoked on attempting to surf... As I get older I become more afraid of the ocean, even though I was in it all the time as a child. Anyone else have this issue?
🎅Welp, that's a WRAP!
#Christmas
Day has come and gone and a bunch of us are still hesitant to share our gifts with the world. 😌
Let this be a reminder that you are here to SERVE the world with the gifts only you possess! 🎁
This is my "just finished hitting the bags" look. 🥊 Whaddaya think? 😉
As many of y'all know, MMA has been a big part of my life for so many years now....
Gotta' have the 👅 out like

or the shot doesn't count, right?
I've heard that the famous tongue wag from Michael Jordan 🐐 stemmed from him spending time watching his pops in the garage (or otherwise).
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY TO DO ALONE?
Mine’s drawing and painting, which I haven’t done in way too long. In writing this, I’m realizing that I’ve put it off long enough, time for me to pick up the pencil again. 👩🏽🎨
What’s yours? How can you make more time for it?
It was just after this very moment when my strap broke and just about snapped me in the eye! 😑
If you're wondering what else happened next during this shoot, I'd recommend checking out that link in my bio! 😘
Wanderlust consumed her; foreign hearts and exotic minds compelled her. 🦋
I’m just in awe of how special this place is, and thankful to share roots with such a magical island. 🌈

You know...something I've always wondered...🤔 how is it that you rarely ever see people on" the john" in the movies? For that matter, when's the last time you've seen someone pay for food in a film?🍕🤣
Something I’m so guilty of is the “I matter more than you do” dynamic in relationship. Even though it’s subconscious and non-intentional, it’s born out an unhealthy tendency toward narcissism and is something I’m actively attempting to balance.
Check out my IG for more on this...
Though I bring up that 💩 often enough to make you all uncomfortable AF I’m aware that the role of the john is for more than just sittin' on the 🚽.
What more can it be used for? Well, hit the link below 👇 for more pics from this set to find out.

Anyone else grow up with a tv like this? Where you had to get up and turn the dial when you wanted to change the channel? My Mexican grandparents were frugal AF, and it didn’t matter how old the technology was... if it wasn’t broke it wasn’t gettin’ replaced. PERRIOTTT!
“I’m a Lover not a Fighter”❤️👊🏼... This is an interesting statement cuz the truth is we all fight for something... I think clearly defining what we fight for can be a really simple tool to illuminating the path toward our goals, so, I truly want to know: WHAT DO YOU FIGHT FOR?
