In this first episode of the Power of Choice series, I’m sharing something deeply personal: my health and wellness journey. From competitive gymnastics and all-or-nothing patterns to burnout, body image struggles, and ultimately, coming back home to myself, it’s been a long, layered process.

If you’ve ever felt like your relationship with food, movement, or your body has been tangled up in pressure, perfectionism, or performance… you’re NOT alone. I’ve been there. And this is the story of how I’ve been healing… one choice at a time.

I’m not sharing this as a “before and after” moment. I’m sharing it to name what’s often unspoken, to reflect on the quiet shifts that have helped me rebuild trust with my body, and to remind you that your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Inside this episode, I talk about:

• How stress, restriction, and alcohol became coping tools I didn’t fully see.
• Why I’ve partnered with a functional medicine consultant & Shaklee to support my body.
• Why longevity and living well now matter more than “getting it right”

This episode holds pieces of my story I’ve never shared before. It’s vulnerable. But it’s also freeing. Because everything we do, especially how we care for ourselves, is a CHOICE.

If this resonates, please leave a review & share with someone going through their own health & wellness journey!
