The other day I was scrolling through my camera roll… not looking for anything in particular… and I stumbled on one of the very first photos Will and I ever took together.
Early days.
Just us… living life… thinking we were fine.
Then I put it beside a photo of us today and my jaw dropped.
Because it wasn’t just “wow, we look different.”
It was: we live different. We are different.
That first photo? We were in love… but also running on fumes in ways we didn’t even realize. Busy. Pushing. Tired.
This past year especially, after I landed in the hospital for a few days, something quietly shifted in me.
Not in a “rules and restrictions” way.
More like:
“I don’t want to live like I’m borrowing energy anymore.”
“I don’t want burnout to feel normal.”
“I want my body to feel like a safe place to live.”
And without even making it a thing… health became something Will and I started sharing.
Not a rulebook.
A rhythm.
Little things, on repeat:
• detoxing at the same time so no one feels like the odd one out
• evening walks instead of collapsing on the couch
• putting on CGMs together
• choosing workouts first (weekends + travel) because it changes the whole day
And the biggest surprise?
None of it feels hard… because it’s shared.
It’s WILD how much easier healthy choices become when the person beside you is moving in the same direction.
And I need you to hear this too:
If your partner isn’t aligned when it comes to health, it’s okay. Truly.
But you do need someone in your corner.
Choose friends who are.
Choose walking buddies. Workout buddies. “Let’s cook something nourishing” buddies.
Because it’s true:
“You are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with.”
So look around.
And choose well. ♥️💋
