My Story

Such a short time ago, at the beginning of the summer, II was dragging through my life. . 😫I felt oh so sick- pain in my joints and muscles, difficulty breathing and using my rescue inhaler every 4 hours, depleted of all energy, stomach pain and difficulty eating. . 🤒I was taking steroids every other month because of either my breathing or autioimmune disease flares. . Not fun for me, not fun for my kids, not fun for my family. . . And then .... these AMAZING people entered my life. And I made a life changing decision to be a part of their online / virtual community, to eat healthy, to be accountable to them in my new, healthy lifestyle. I did it with MAJOR skepticism- but it was the only path I felt I had left... . The eating healthy lead to more fitness because I could breathe, because things didn't hurt as much. . The healthy nutrients I was putting into my body gave me ENERGY! 🤗(What mom doesn't want that?!) . I felt motivation, my anxiety and fear of my world dramatically decreased. . I conquered my fears and jumped on a plane to meet up with all of them in Nashville (any of you who know me know this is not something that is "within my normal") . I was brave enough to do something for myself. I was brave enough to do something to improve the quality of life for my family.

I am taking a moment to let you all- my friends and family who care about me know that I am not going back to that dark, unhealthy and significantly fatigued place. . And I want you to know that even if you haven't reached out to me in a while, even if we haven't talked in forever. If you feel like me- like you were just surviving your day to day- please talk to me- because I. AM. HERE. FOR. YOU! . And I will do everything I can with this new knowledge and empathy to get you to where I am in this very moment.
