“But you look fine? I had no idea you were dealing with this.”

Most people don’t understand mold illness.
They think it’s just about sinus infections… or maybe a rash.
They picture some mildew in a bathroom or a leaky basement.
Or yucky stuff growing on old bread.
But mold toxicity — mycotoxin illness — can affect and unravel every part of your life.

🧠 Mentally:
You feel like you’re losing your mind.
You can’t think clearly, forget why you walked into a room, or struggle to remember words mid-sentence.
Anxiety takes over, panic rushes in, and you wonder where the old you went.
Dark thoughts pop up out of nowhere, and they’re really scary.
Anger and rage become a typical response to everyday occurrences.

🏃🏻‍♀️Physically:
You’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix, if you can actually sleep.
Your joints ache, your hormones are off, your gut is a mess.
Weird symptoms become the everyday norm.
Food sensitivities multiply, your weight shifts for no reason, and your body starts to feel foreign.

💔 Emotionally:
You start to feel broken.
You try to explain it but no one really understands.
You get told “You’re just stressed” or “It’s probably just part of getting older.”
And deep down, you start to question if this is all in your head.
Am I crazy? What if I am?

🙏 Spiritually:
It strips away your resilience.
You feel disconnected — from others, from your own body, even from your own mind.
You may still smile, still show up, still press on…
But behind the scenes, you’re holding it together with threads.
The spiritual warfare absolutely rages around you, with no understanding of where it’s coming from. But it’s very, VERY dark.

And the hardest part?
It’s invisible.
Mold illness really doesn’t look like anything on the outside.
But it feels like your life is quietly falling apart on the inside.

This has been our lives for a few years now, because we were fighting a battle we couldn’t see, in a house we thought was safe.

Out of respect for my family, I won’t share every detail. But I will share about myself.

And I can tell you this: it has changed everything.

I’ll dive more into each one of these soon🩵

I kind of thought I had been through my big health challenge with all the miscarriage stuff. I mean, all natural health practitioners typically experience some kind of health crisis which drives them into this field of work. But I guess God wasn’t quite done with me. In the past two years, I discovered that not only were we living in toxic mold … but we had been exposed to it multiple times throughout our years in the military.

It has been an absolute nightmare, a truly devastating health crisis which has impacted everyone in my family in significant yet different ways. This led me to step away from My Well Balanced Life for a while so I could immerse myself into the world of chronic infections, environmental toxins, and everything else that is involved with mold and mycotoxin illness.

And while it has been the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced, mostly because it’s not just about me but my husband and my children, it has also uncovered a part of me that I didn’t even know existed.

One that can dig far deeper than ever before and connect the dots of symptoms and lab findings to truly help people on a much deeper and profound level. I believe I have a gift for sniffing out the root causes of people’s health issues, and I will not rest until I figure it out.

If you had told me just two years ago the amount of knowledge I would gain about everything from reading functional lab tests to mold and Lyme and PANS/PANDAS, I would never believe it. Mostly because I didn’t think I was capable of doing such hard and intricate work, but life experience motivates you in a way that nothing else will.

To be honest, I had felt for quite a few years that God was calling me to pursue a different path within my business, but I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I wish it hadn’t required such a tough path which we are still navigating, but I completely trust that God’s plan and timing are perfect.

Just like I can see His hand and the many blessings that came from that multi-year battle with miscarriages, I know that one day I will say the same about this journey. And maybe I can help some people along the way🩵

Two posts in two days, what is happening? Am I back?

I don’t know.

My track record says no, but I guess we’ll see.

I’ve been feeling for a long time that I was supposed to be going in a different direction with this whole wellness blog/business/whatever this is … I just didn’t know where I was supposed to go.

But since all I’ve done in that time is immerse myself in trying to navigate healing from mold toxicity, chronic infections, reactivated viruses, mitochondrial dysfunction, and everything else involved in this intricate web of disease that has hit my entire family harder than I could have ever envisioned … I’m gonna talk about that.

It’s not really a 180, just more like digging into the deeper layers of disease that are becoming the norm for most of us.

And I’m going to be completely honest. I still don’t understand what the Lord is doing in my life right now … or really why any of this is happening … but I trust Him. I’m just not good at the waiting part.

In the meantime, I’m going to share what I’ve learned.

First up — the mold journey that uprooted EVERYTHING.

It’s been a hundred years since I posted on my Instagram feed…

I mean, it certainly feels like it. It’s been a long couple of years of a whole lot of things.

BUT

I promised myself (and my VA) that I would start posting again before I relaunched My Well Balanced Life with a new (or maybe I should say a more nuanced) focus. And that’s happening really soon.

So here we go — first post in forever officially posted.
