Thought I’d share some of my story with you … maybe parts of this resonate with you too?

My life used to be kind of the perfect example of the perfect storm.

I ate my way through most all of the processed packaged foods that went along with all of the fad diets…whether fat free, no carbs, other super restrictive diets, or counting calories like a taskmaster. And I’d base even more calorie restriction on how hard or not hard I had worked out, and the awful list can go on and on.

To be honest, I’ve always been relatively small, but I was living with constant bloating, digestive issues, bad allergies, fairly epic low moods, terrible monthly cramps, etc.

Everything I did (at least in my opinion) was not good enough…and not only was it not good enough, it was NEVER good enough. I never ate well enough, I was never thin enough, I was never fit enough, I never ran fast enough, I never was doing my job well enough, I wasn’t a good enough daughter, family member, friend, coworker… honestly, it was a pretty brutal internal existence.

And of course, because how we are internally is reflected back to us externally, all of my relationships reflected this stuff above too.

Whether friends, boyfriends, parents, work situations, small phone conversations with the phone company or the electric company…when I was constantly internally & energetically in a space of general awfulness, most every interaction reflected exactly that as well.

Does that make sense?

It sucked.

There was a moment one summer where I was sobbing on the bathroom floor of a rental condo in Colorado feeling hopeless, totally over it, and wondering if there was a point to literally anything in my life…I had felt “done” before, but this was probably the biggest pivot point when I knew things must change.

I reached out to a “Peak Performance Coach” for what I thought would just be help & clarity for my orchestra career stuff, and what he assigned me opened me WIDE up to begin reading/learning/searching/finding/craving/seeking greater & greater balance in my life…in everything seen & unseen.

Consciously becoming more and more aware that what I eat, how I exercise & treat my body, and what I pay attention to mentally/emotionally/spiritually are ALL connected, literally changed and saved my life…across the board in every way.

The indescribable transformations in my life that have continued to blow my mind, span everything from improved energy levels, way more balanced mood, clear skin, ideal weight for my body, no more constant bloating, healthy digestive system, etc…and honestly, a continually growing internal sense of balance, peace, and self-value that I never knew was actually attainable for me.

By increasing my awareness and consciously eating, exercising, and communicating with my intuition more & more on purpose, my life has completely changed for the better…from my overall health, to my weight, to my skin, to my moods, to my inner sense of balance, peace, ease, & calm – and I know it can do the same for you!
