What happens when a life of success and achievement is abruptly halted by illness and loss? Join me as I chat with Holly Bertone, a holistic health coach specializing in midlife wellness for women. Holly shares her compelling journey from the heights of the FBI and competitive athletics to confronting the harsh realities of breast cancer, an autoimmune disease, and chronic fatigue. She opens up about the dual grief of losing her mother and grappling with an identity crisis after the end of her prestigious career and athletic endeavors. Through her story, Holly emphasizes the critical importance of acknowledging and managing grief to foster health and wellness.
Explore the concept of the "comeback" through both significant life events and smaller, cumulative challenges. We discuss the "base camp cycle," a metaphor for the initial enthusiasm and subsequent struggle we all face when attempting to improve our lives after setbacks. Drawing inspiration from iconic 80s movies like Rocky, we delve into the necessity of resolving unresolved emotions such as grief, resentment, guilt, and shame to create a sustainable future. Then, let's shift the focus to creating your future self by prioritizing metabolic health over vanity metrics. Holly shares personal anecdotes about overcoming unhealthy habits and transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth. Holly's Rocky-inspired framework for comebacks, along with her advice on small, consistent efforts, offers practical guidance for advocating for your future self.
