Our Story
Where to start...well, I am a mama of two beautiful children. They are the reason that I work so hard every day, the reason I NOW take extra good care of myself, and the reason I strive to continuously learn about natural health options. These two little monkeys (and my beautiful friend Laramee Grace, who now has her angel wings) were my wake-up call to start taking better care of myself.
You see, I didn’t always. I had what I consider some pretty bad habits when it came to my health, although I did exercise often and thought I was eating healthier than most. I smoked on and off for 18 years. Somehow, I ended up at the point that I was drinking beer almost daily after the kids went to bed, or before if it was a weekend. I wasn’t eating properly to keep my blood sugar stable and my health was starting to take a turn for the worst...a little bit at a time. I learned I had something called Candida overgrowth, and let me tell you, it was not a mild case. This was and has been the biggest challenge of my life in every way. I was also on an emotional roller coaster, with crazy mood swings that I could not explain.
So, I made a decision one day that no matter what, I was going to become the best mama and wife that I could be (I forgot to mention that I have an amazing and supportive husband ;). I wasn’t striving to become perfect by any means, but working hard every day to become healthier and happier. You see, in order to become a better mom, I had to put myself first. Sounds selfish, I know, but if I didn’t take the time to make sure I was physically, mentally, and emotionally strong for myself, how could I be at the top of my game to help my children handle this crazy life we live in?
I stuck with my decision, through many ups and downs. Some days I wanted to give up so bad. Other days, I just would have a meltdown. Those days are mostly gone now. You see, it doesn’t take willpower to give up alcohol, smoking, and most foods (the Candida diet is super strict) at the same time. Everyone told me they couldn’t do it themselves. What was my secret sauce? It’s called having a Positive Mindset and Habit Change. If you can create a positive environment for yourself and have gratitude daily, your life will exponentially get better. When you create healthy habits that give you pleasure, then you can overcome the old bad habits that no longer serve you.
