Raise your hand if you've ever felt like supplements get over pushed on you ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Supplements should be supportive, not the solution. The end goal is usually no more than 5 Supplements on your regimen. And if you can get them in a good Multivitamin, DO IIITTTTT.

โœจ Why I use Fullscript
I offer 25% off through my Fullscript account because high-quality supplements can get expensive fast.

I trust Fullscript because:
โœ” Products are reviewed by a medical board
โœ” No fillers or junk
โœ” Youโ€™re not wasting money on poor-quality supplements

I constantly get asked how I do it all. Mother of 3, wife to the BEST of the best, full time RN supervisor, running 3 businesses, meal prepping, exercising, sports, chickens...... you get the picture ๐Ÿ˜‰

And let me tell you.... there's no secret to living your life to the fullest.

I've been told for many years "you can't have it all" and my instant reaction has always been "f**k that. Why the hell not??"

I'm not special. I am not better than any of you. My background did not set me up to be successful. I didn't come from money or a long line of college graduates. I worked my ass off to get here.

We did everything backwards. I dropped out of college at 19 because I was working 3 jobs. We had our first child when I was 23. My husband worked his ass off to put me through the first round of nursing school at 24.... We got married and had our second baby at 26 while he once again, put me through RN school. We made sacrifices. We set goals. We loved hard.

"Doing it all" caught up to me when I turned 30 and had our 3rd baby boy. I hit rock bottom. Years of unresolved trauma and chronic stress knocked me on my ass. You know how easy it would've been to give it all up in that moment and just be..... ordinary?

Once again I said "f**k that." - with the help of my husband ๐Ÿ–ค

I'm not meant to be ordinary.
You want to know how I do it all?
I healed my mind and my body. I trusted love (which let's be honest, is the realest magic we'll ever encounter โœจ๏ธ). I set firm boundaries. I did my shadow work. I cut people off and I cut them out. I prioritized ME. I stopped saying "I don't have time" and I realized I have time for whatever the f**k I make time for.

I stay focused on my goals:
Time freedom.
Money freedom.

My babies always come first. My lover always comes first. Everything I do in this life is for this love. I owe nothing to anyone but Myself and them. If anything crosses my path that doesn't align with my goals, I politely remove or decline it.

And the best part? My journey has helped me heal others who refuse to let this life be anything less than extraordinary โœจ๏ธ I'm working on a program this year to help us all heal.... together ๐Ÿ–ค Stay tuned.

What you put in your body directly impacts your mental health. When you plan for the week, you are less likely to snack on junk or eat out. Bonus points: this helps with our budget so we can plan meals around that's already in the kitchen!
