Check on your healthy friend

You’re known as the “healthy friend”, and on the outside you seem so peaceful and joyfully committed to wellness. 🌱 People tell you that they wish they could be as healthy as you, or they wish they had your willpower. But on the inside you feel chaotic, always second-guessing yourself, afraid of eating the “wrong” way, spending more and more money on “higher quality” food, desperately trying to avoid sickness and disease, trying so hard to have the “willpower” to avoid your favorite foods, feeling guilt and shame anytime you “mess up”, obsessing over finding the “perfect” way to eat so that you can have your longest, highest quality life. I SEE YOU. I was you. I love you. 💜

I REMEMBER that almost constant little voice in the back of my head questioning every bite of food I put in my mouth - “am I feeding or fighting disease right now?” “will this make me sick?” “am I causing inflammation?” “how many ingredients is in this?” “Is this organic?” “I better take my own food to that party” “what am I supposed to order at that restaurant? maybe I shouldn’t go?” etc etc etc - it was mentally EXHAUSTING and absolutely not a high quality way to live. 😫

For so long I thought that living this way was good for me, that I was creating a sickness/disease-free life.  I couldn’t understand why everyone didn’t prioritize their health the way I was. I mean, diet & wellness cultures PRAISED me for adhering to all of their ever-changing rules, so it MUST be right, right?! When I learned that diet and wellness cultures were LYING to me and that this was actually NOT good for me, and in fact, it is a VERY disordered way to live, it was a breath of fresh air! It was terrifying and angering, yes, but also felt like a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. 🧘🏼‍♀️ 

Could I really prioritize my health WITHOUT obsession & “perfection”? Could I really live a healthy lifestyle, without that little bully in my head, and enjoy a wide variety of foods without feeling fear, guilt and shame? I was so excited! 🎉

I tried to walk away on my own. I spent half a year trying to navigate this new way of life all by myself. I made some progress, but I knew that with the right support the process could be so much easier. So I invested in coaching for myself and spent two years learning and healing surrounded by so much support and love. It was SUCH a valuable investment that made a significant life change so much easier. Walking away from diet culture can feel very lonely, and isolating as you go against the entire grain of society. But when you invest in the right support, along with community, it feels way less lonely. Don’t get me wrong, the work is still hard, but the journey is so much easier, and a lot more fun with so much support! 👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏾

I KNOW what you’re feeling right now. I have so much compassion and understanding for the mental anguish you put yourself through, and I also know there is a BETTER WAY to live. I have so much true peace now around health, food, movement and my body. It is SO FREEING!  I know it’s scary to think about giving all that up, but I promise you won’t be giving up on yourself or your health. 😘

And I know first-hand that having a place to go when you have questions or need support in your struggles, or to celebrate your wins is a game-changer on this journey! I am so so excited to be able to offer YOU that same support! 🙌🏻
