From the highs of collegiate athletics to the rigor of a corporate career, I thrived on challenge and dedication to fitness. Yet, hidden pressures led to anxiety and depression, neglecting my well-being and resulting in a 20-pound weight gain. A wake-up call came with a debilitating anxiety attack, prompting a shift to holistic healing. Embracing mindful living and drawing wisdom from an undisclosed network advocating unconventional teachings, including awareness of everyday hazards like plastic toxins and harmful additives in food, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. This path not only led to physical transformation—shedding weight and improving sleep—but also to a profound mental and emotional healing. It unearthed resilience and a deeper connection between mind, body, and environment, guiding me towards holistic well-being.
