Wellness is a holistic picture. It isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about sleep, stress management, and emotional health. Watching Ana’s recovery taught us how deeply all these things are connected. A rested body is a healing body.

In a world that constantly demands more from us, finding rest and managing stress can feel impossible. Yet, the Bible calls us to a different way of living—one rooted in peace. A verse that has been a great anchor for me is: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NIV). This promise reminds us that true rest is a gift, and it’s essential for our holistic healing and well-being.

This Wellness Wednesday, take five minutes to do something for yourself that isn’t about food or exercise. Sit quietly, stretch, or do some deep breathing. Tell me what you did!

Our own health took a backseat during Ana's fight, but we saw how even small nutritional changes made a massive difference. Now we're applying everything we learned to our own family reboot. The body you want is waiting. The energy you crave is waiting.

The pain of knowing you need to get healthy but not knowing where to start is real. The solution is following the proven principles we learned from our own transformation. Our health journey is also a part of God's larger plan for our lives.

This perspective is reflected in the verse: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV).

Taking care of our health is an essential part of being prepared to walk in the purpose He has for us.

What is your biggest transformation goal right now? Is it to feel energized, get to 15% body fat, or lose 20lbs? Tell me below.

Here are three options for adding a biblical element to your business reboot post, each with a different focus.

Option 1: Focusing on God's Presence in Fear
Original Post with Biblical Element:

The truth? I'm terrified and excited all at once. Starting over isn't easy. But the experience with Ana taught me that even in the face of terror, you can still choose courage. You can't control the storm, but you can choose how you weather it. That's the mindset of a champion.

The pain of feeling overwhelmed by a big life change is real. The solution is finding courage in the face of fear and taking one small step at a time. This journey reminds me of a powerful promise in Scripture: "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deuteronomy 31:8, NIV). Even when the path ahead is uncertain, we're not walking it alone.

In the comments, share one thing you're doing today to find courage in the small choices.

I'll never forget watching my daughter Ana fight for her life while my own health crumbled around me. ✨

That moment in the hospital cafeteria when I realized I couldn't remember the last time I'd eaten something that wasn't from a vending machine or drive-thru.

I was exhausted. Depleted. Running on nothing but coffee and fear.

But it was there, in our darkest time, that we discovered something unexpected – how powerful even the smallest nutritional changes could be. 🌟

We watched in awe as tiny adjustments to Ana's diet created ripples of improvement in her recovery. The doctors were amazed. We were transformed.

And I thought: if these principles can help her heal... what could they do for us?

The truth is, I'd spent years knowing I needed to get healthy but feeling completely overwhelmed about where to start. Sound familiar? 🙏

That's why our family nutrition reboot began. Not with some extreme diet or punishing exercise regimen, but with the same gentle, effective principles we'd learned during Ana's journey.

The body you want? It's waiting. The energy you crave? Also waiting.

But here's what I've learned: transformation isn't about willpower or perfection. It's about having a roadmap designed specifically for YOUR journey. ❤️

That's exactly why I created my 1-on-1 nutrition coaching – to share everything we learned the hard way, so you don't have to.

No quick fixes. No cookie-cutter plans. Just customized guidance for long-term results and the education to make it stick.

I'm curious though... what's YOUR biggest transformation goal right now? 💫

Is it finding the energy to make it through the day without that 3pm crash?
Getting to a specific body fat percentage?
Losing those stubborn 20 pounds that keep hanging on?
Drop it in the comments below – I read and respond to every single one. Your journey matters to me.

My experience helping Ana taught me something profound: even in the face of fear, you can still choose courage. You can't control the storm, but you can choose how you weather it. That's the mindset of a champion. 📚

When we feel overwhelmed by big life changes, our energy and vitality are the first things to suffer. But here's what I've learned after years of nutrition coaching:

1. Small, consistent choices create massive change 🌱
2. Courage isn't the absence of fear—it's taking action despite it
3. Customized approaches work better than one-size-fits-all solutions

The clients who see the most transformation aren't the ones who never struggle—they're the ones who keep showing up, especially on the hard days. ✨

Your nutrition journey doesn't have to be perfect to be effective. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply make one better choice today than you did yesterday. 💪

My 1-on-1 nutrition coaching isn't just about meal plans—it's about building a foundation for long-term results through education and personalized strategies that work with YOUR life.

I used to think exhaustion was just part of being a good parent. ✨

For months while supporting Ana through her challenges, my own health became an afterthought. Late nights, quick meals standing up, skipped workouts... sound familiar?

It wasn't until I found myself too tired to join in when she wanted to play outside that reality hit me hard. 🌟

I had nothing left to give because I wasn't refilling my own cup.

That's when I realized: neglecting myself wasn't actually helping her—it was hurting us both.

This journey taught me something powerful: Wellness isn't just about salads and squats. It's about making a conscious choice to prioritize your well-being so you can show up FULLY for the people who need you most. ❤️

It's about having the energy to chase your kids around the yard instead of watching from the sidelines.

It's about REBOOTING your habits.
RESTORING your energy.
RESTARTING with intention.

The people who depend on you deserve your best self—not what's left of you.

That's why I'm passionate about helping others find sustainable ways to prioritize health without the guilt. Because when you thrive, everyone around you benefits. 🙏

I'll start: I'm keeping track of my water. Your turn. 💫

I still remember the day everything changed. Not the day Ana got sick, but the day we realized her healing had begun. ✨

Between the beeping monitors and sleepless nights, I discovered something unexpected – the profound power of nutrition and how it affects everything.

The doctors were actually shocked. "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it," they said, watching her vitals improve after we started implementing strategic nutrition changes.

This wasn't a weight loss transformation; it was a healing transformation. The most powerful kind. 🙏

For so long, I believed transformation was only about appearance. Smaller waist. Toned arms. The number on the scale.

But sitting in that hospital room, watching color return to my loved one's face, I understood what true transformation means.

It's healing. It's energy. It's your body working FOR you, not against you. ❤️

We've been conditioned to believe that changing our bodies is about restriction, punishment, and surface-level results.

What if it was actually about nourishment? About giving your body exactly what it needs to thrive?

If you believe your body can heal, it will. I've seen it. I've lived it. 🌟

The journey isn't always straight. Some days are harder than others. But watching someone regain their vitality, their joy, their LIFE through the power of nutrition has become my greatest purpose.

This is why I do what I do now. Because transformation isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you – it's about unleashing what's right within you.

What would it feel like to transform your health from the inside out? To wake up with energy that lasts? To feel strength returning to your body day by day? 💫

I thought strength meant never breaking down. Until I had no choice... 🌟

18 months in and out of hospital rooms. 18 months watching my daughter Ana fight heart problems that no child should ever face. 18 months of wondering if today would be better or worse than yesterday.

In those sterile hospital hallways, I learned what true strength actually looks like. It isn't about never faltering. It's about continuing to show up even when you're terrified. ❤️

Some days, the only victory was that I remembered to eat lunch. Other days, the victory was finding a moment to smile despite everything crumbling around us.

Sound familiar?

That same resilience you need during life's biggest storms is exactly what carries you through your health journey too. ✨

When you're exhausted but still prepare that nutritious meal...
When you doubt yourself but still show up for your workout...
When your progress feels painfully slow but you keep going anyway...

That's not just discipline. That's courage. 🙏

Through Ana's journey (she's doing so much better now!), I discovered that transformation never happens in our comfort zones. It happens when we're stretched beyond what we thought possible.

This is why I'm so passionate about nutrition coaching that goes beyond just meal plans. Because the path to vibrant health isn't just about what you eat—it's about who you become in the process. 💫

The mindset that helped our family through our darkest days is the same one that can transform your relationship with food and health forever.

What's the biggest mental roadblock standing in your way right now? Reply with one word – fear, doubt, exhaustion, overwhelm – and let's face it together. 🎯

You're stronger than you realize. I know because I've been there too.

Sometimes the hardest battles become our greatest teachers... 🌟
18 months. That's how long our family stood in the storm while our daughter Ana fought through severe heart problems and two open heart surgeries.

In those hospital rooms, watching machines keep our baby girl alive, I learned what really matters. And somewhere between the beeping monitors and sleepless nights, I discovered something unexpected – the profound power of nutrition and how it affects everything.

The doctors were amazed when we started implementing strategic nutrition changes for Ana's recovery. So much so that they asked me to share what I'd learned with other heart parents. ❤️
While supporting Ana, our own health took a backseat. Now it's time to REBOOT. RESTORE. RESTART. ✨

That's why we packed up everything and moved to Texas – to be near our new grandbaby and reunite our family after this storm. A fresh start in every sense.
The truth? I'm terrified and excited all at once. Starting over isn't easy, but I've witnessed firsthand how transformation begins with a single choice. One meal. One walk. One moment of choosing yourself.

This journey taught me that nutrition isn't just about weight or looks – it's about healing, strength, and showing up fully for the people who need us. 🙏

Now I'm applying everything I've learned to help others transform their health from the inside out. Because if there's one thing I know for certain, it's that when you have your health, you have everything.

I'll be sharing our family's journey, the practical nutrition wisdom we've gained through fire, and how you can apply these principles to your own life – whether you're looking to reach 15% body fat, lose 20lbs, or just feel energized enough to chase your kids around the yard.
