Refined by Fire: Hope and Purpose on the Other Side of Hardship

Welcome to Whole, Healthy and Free! In this episode, I get personal and share some of the obstacles I've encountered and how they have become, what I consider to be, the greatest gifts of my life. I rarely lead out with these stories and in fact, there are a lot of people I know well who do not know most of what I have been through. The ones that do know, are usually pretty shocked when they find out but it also helps clarify why I do what I do and how I ended up where I am. My entire career has been formed through fire. As a precision wellness specialist, every bit of what I do, how I teach, what I create, what I research, manufacture and formulate comes from personal hardship or direct experience with someone who has experienced hardship in that area. I didn't just research nutrition for health, fitness for strength and recovery, severe health conditions and issues with insufficient health care, I lived it. I didn't just study herbalism, childhood development, education, addictions, emotional and mental health, abuse and trauma, they were also part of my life. The obstacles that were in my way, became the most powerful instructors and I was a VERY determined student. I learned, researched and applied my way around what most people said was impossible. Then I learned and researched my way into figuring out how to fix the broken systems that were contributing to health disparities, declining health, mental and emotional struggles and diet and food. Now, I work to execute the solutions, with much push back from industries that benefit more from it remaining broken. Initially, I was mostly curious. Eventually, and as I learned more, I became furious but it has always been rooted in love. Everything I do is because I believe people deserve the truth. I believe they should have access to all their options and be taught they can do impossible things too. I believe people need to know that someone sees them and will speak up for them and their families when it comes to health and wellness. So this episode is just a few of the things I have experienced, not the whole story to say the least, but enough to make this project make sense. It is vulnerable and scary to share but it is honest. In the coming episodes I will be introducing you to some of my friends and colleagues, who are true geniuses and wonderful people. The hope is to equip you with tools to be more than well but be AMAZING!
