Episode 57: How My Darkest Day Was A Turning Point For My Health

Juggling perimenopause, family, and weight loss goals can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems like “healthy” and “anti-inflammatory” food means “no fun.” It’s absolutely possible, but it helps when you have a few boundaries or guardrails in place.

In this episode, we’re doing things a little differently and getting deep into our feelings. I’m sharing my story from a really dark time in my life, and how the lessons I learned through that experience actually created the foundation for my health today. (Because these are the lessons YOU need today, too!)

As I’ve navigated my breast cancer journey, I’ve had to do a lot of reflecting and healing. In that process, I’ve seen how much of my healing is tied back to the way I think and act when it comes to my health and wellness. My life has taught me some hard lessons, but these are the very things that have given me the tools to feel good, stay healthy, and lose weight, even when life feels hard.

I’m pulling back the curtain on my own struggles with trauma and depression, and sharing how I used my darkest days to finally take control.

This episode is your permission slip to acknowledge those struggles, but also to find the strength to keep going.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

📌 How our excuses keep us safe, and the simple way you can identify the ones that are holding you back.
📌 Why progress is actually found in the boring, and how to stop your brain from trying to modify everything when you’re just starting out.
📌 The hard truth about where discipline is actually built, and how you can use life’s hardest moments to your advantage.
📌 Why taking care of yourself is a brave act of defiance against the chaos of midlife.

You deserve to feel good. You’re not alone in these struggles. It’s time to find the strength to keep going, even when you feel like giving up.
