I wake up most days feeling energized, connected to the healing power of nature, and at peace with food, family, relationships, and myself. But it wasn’t always this way.

Fifteen years ago, my life looked very different. I was running on caffeine, sugar, and wine—every. single. day. I was exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed. My body ached, my mind was foggy, and I struggled with disordered eating. Worst of all, I wasn’t truly present for my three incredible daughters.

I never felt like I was enough—not smart enough, not thin enough, not worthy enough. My value was tied to what I could do for others and how well I could hold it all together. Inside, I was unraveling.

Then came the day everything changed.
