Be the Boss of your time – and your health
My aspiration for life is to achieve great things.
I built a successful career, married the love of my life, am a trusted friend, and a mom of two daughters.
Life was busy, yes. But I was everything I wanted to be. Until my health started to become an issue.
After my second daughter was born, I was tired all day, didn’t have energy, and my stomach and hands were covered with eczema.
Soon enough I found out what was going on. I had an autoimmune disease. And while I wanted to keep up the pace of my busy life, I couldn’t do it anymore. I had to create space to heal.
Day by day, step by step, bite by bite, I was able to get my health and life back in order by making micro-changes in my habits and routines.
This is what made it possible for me to feel like myself again. To show up as a great mom, a great wife, and continue building great success in my career.
Here is how I did it.
- I changed my diet and removed gluten, dairy, and processed foods. I filled my plate with whole foods.
- Prioritized sleep and took naps during the day. I was caring for a newborn and toddler who didn’t always sleep through the night.
- Created a morning routine that made time for meal prep and preparation, mindful meditation and regular movement. Consistency is the key.
- Created an evening routine to train my body to be tired and ready to sleep.
At the same time, a new passion had been sparked within me for health and wellness.
This led me to getting my health coach certification at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and became a certified health.
Today, I empower busy moms to create space for health and healing because too many of us put ourselves last on the list– when we’re the hub of the household, the heart of the family. I’m also learning from other wellness professionals, self-testing, and sharing my experiences.
When we suffer, our kids and our partners suffer too. It’s time to change that.
