Healthy. Self-assured. At Peace.

That is the happy, empowered woman I am today...but that wasn't always the case. 

Eight years ago, I never would’ve believed I would feel the confidence and pure joy I feel today. Living this kind of rich, healthy and fulfilling life felt like it would always be just out of reach.

Back then, I was struggling with an autoimmune thyroid disease leaving me exhausted and in pain. I was gaining weight no matter how little I ate. And, I was in a stressful toxic relationship and trying to hold down a demanding career. 

So how did I claim my life and finally get my sh!t together?

I’d love to say I had a moment of clarity and took time for serious self-reflection and meditation, but that wouldn't exactly be true. The truth is that while I was building up my ad agency and volunteering to help others, I was working myself into autoimmune meltdown, burning out my thyroid and developing entrenched habits I now understand to be trauma response.
