My Why

For over a decade, I felt "off".  I wasn't clinically sick but I definitely wasn't well either.  Back pain, gut issues, food sensitivities, stiff joints, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety - you name it,  So many doctors, tests, pills.  Nothing helped. Even worse, there were zero answers.  I had a mystery illness & I was feeling worse & worse as time went on.  I was told that I might just be too sensitive.  That it was likely all "in my head".  & for some time, I started to believe it.  I was frustrated, burnt out, & left feeling hopeless & helpless. Now, not only did I not feel well physically, my mental, emotional, & spiritual health suffered & I started to feel lost & confused.  I knew things were off & out of balance but I had no idea what to do or where to turn.  I had a hard time explaining how I felt & when I looked around it seemed like what I was experiencing was "normal".  Most people a bit unhappy & unhealthy, & to think that I could be the one to change that seemed insane & honestly a bit selfish.

I mean everyone's struggling, who am I to think that I deserved better?

​

But I couldn't live like that.  Something inside me whispered that called to me telling me there was more.  That life wasn't meant to be endured.  We weren't put here to struggle or feel half alive & half on autopilot.  The word "vibrant" stuck with me & I was determined to fight until I felt it.  I craved a vibrant & joyful existence.  I wanted to live & love more fully.  I needed to break out of monotony & mediocrity.  I felt an unexplainable tug in my heart telling me that there was so much more for me & I wasn't going to give up until I found it.  

So, I started to research on my own & explore holistic medicine, alternative therapies, & spirituality.  I searched for like-minded people & the right healers for me & thank God I did, because they honestly changed my life.  I discovered that I wasn't crazy or making symptoms up in my head.  I have an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.  Against the advice of my doctors and most of the people around me, I decided to take the longer route of healing at the roots instead of managing symptoms with medication.  Through nutritional adjustments, stress management, and a holistic lifestyle, I’ve been able to manage this condition naturally, and feel better than I ever imagined.  

I got answers & direction. 

I found hope in my soul tribe. 

I found strength in my own intuition. 

I became empowered. 

I sought a spiritual purpose.

I got in tune with nature. 

I started to rewire my brain. 

I improved my stress. 

I worked on my nervous system. 

I changed my life. 

On top of healing my physical health, I started the journey to heal my mental, emotional, & spiritual health as well.  I was able to re-ignite that fire in my belly & I set out to live a life that would always fan those flames.

​

Optimal health isn't just the absence of disease, it's a state of complete physical, mental & social well-being. Happiness isn't just the absence of negative feelings & stress, it's thriving in a passionately meaningful life.  It's living & loving fully & vibrantly.  It's pushing past mediocrity & believing there's more for yourself.  It's intentionally living life when everyone else seems to be settling for simply existing.  When I found out this was possible for myself I knew I had to spread the word.  Since then, I've been on a personal & professional journey spreading awareness that there is a better way.  That if you're like me & have a tugging at your heart that's telling you there's more, you can get there too.  I empower & guide others so they know they can find their own paths to true health, wealth, & happiness.  You can get there, & through the ripple effect, inspire others as well. 

Let's change our worlds together.
