Okay, truth time!
My 30th birthday was quickly approaching and, as many of us do during milestones, I was reflecting on life up until this point. It was pretty clear that I was unhappy, unhealthy and unsatisfied. I knew I needed to make some serious adjustments to my life, but the whole thing seemed so daunting and overwhelming that I didn’t even know where to start. I was experiencing longer than normal episodes of depression and anxiety, I was eating and drinking whatever I wanted, I had a career that wasn’t lifting me up, and I was not treating my body with the love and kindness that it deserved.
At first I chalked a lot of this up to being in my 20’s. Part of me thought things might settle down when I reached 30. Well, news flash Lindsey, the day you turn 30 you’re not just magically blessed with a set of tools to shift the course of your life. Turns out you have to actually work for it.
To make matters worse, I was having serious physical health issues. I was living in a constant state of feeling like, pardon my french, crap! I had frequent headaches, stomach aches, acne, and digestive problems. I was lethargic and sleeping more hours than normal. I felt overweight, puffy and bloated. I would complain to my doctors who put me through a multitude of tests. Part of me was praying for them to diagnosis me with something, anything, just so I could make sense of it all. Then I begrudgingly agreed to a 28-day sugar elimination challenge with my best friend and I finally saw the light.
After doing that challenge so much opened up for me. I realized my lack of love for myself was leading me to make poor choices for my body. Once I had made significant changes in my diet my body began responding in ways I never thought it would! I was waking up before my alarm, I lost 20 pounds, I realized I wasn’t happy in my career path, I wasn’t waking up in the middle of the night with excruciating stomach pains, I was learning to love myself and overcoming my limiting beliefs that I didn’t deserve a good life.
All of this led me directly to health coaching and I’ve now been practicing since 2016. As a result of taking that one step I got my life back. I’m invested in this path in a way I never thought possible for myself. If you know you need to make a change but feel stuck, I can help empower you to make that transformation. You don’t have to do it alone.
I would be honored and humbled to take this journey with you.
All my love,
