“It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life….”

The day I knew something had to change was the day of my daughter's wedding. What should've been the happiest of days for me was quite the opposite.

I remember this day like it was yesterday. I woke up that day with the usual low energy due to the inability to sleep well.  My mind was foggy just like any other day and I wondered how I would physically make it through this long day ahead. 

I squeezed myself into my dress even though I had tried to eat nothing all day to maybe help my bloated stomach. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I thought "How did you get here?"

I didn't even pick out my own dress because I couldn't find a single thing I liked on me.  My face was so puffy due to inflammation. Even the makeup artist kept reassuring me I looked my best, but I knew this was not my best.

I experienced daily joint pain, acid reflux, gut issues, inflammation, lack of sleep, and brain fog. Negative self talk consumed my mind.

This had a negative effect on my marriage. I had spent the last twenty years taking care of my kids and husband. Making their dreams come true had become my dream. 

I lacked any enthusiasm or vision for the next 20 years of my life. I had no sense of who I was or what I wanted. Dreams were something I occasionally had at night not something I could accomplish or plan for. 

Everyday it seemed I woke up with another crazy symptom to deal with and no doctor could diagnose. Every visit to the doctor just resulted in another prescription. This slowly became my norm.

I wanted something to change. I would attempt to make a change, but became easily overwhelmed with the “how”.

I tried every "diet" and exercise regimen with zero results, which just left me feeling as if something was "wrong" with me.  

Watching my daughter on her wedding day begin her new life, and feeling like I was losing my best friend was devastating. I knew SOMETHING had to change.

I hired a health coach and reclaimed my health, which led to real change in my mental and spiritual health. A beautiful transformation that has taken me from existing and surviving to thriving!

In addition to feeling good, I began to dream again. I have built a successful health coaching business teaching women the blueprint for thriving at every season.

Guiding women to find their thrive has become my passion. I look forward to walking alongside you!
