I HAVEN'T POSTED IN AWHILE AND HERE IS WHY
When I first started out with my business, I thought that I wanted to work with women struggling with IBS. However, the more I got into it, something didn't seem right. Something didn't seem right about our current approach to managing health. I didn't like how women were so hard on themselves. I didn't like how they perceive themselves as being broken or lacking in someway.
This is one area that I personally feel healthcare is missing the mark on whether it be Functional or Conventional medicine. Women head out ordering expensive lab tests or GI panels, creating the "perfect" diet and workout plan that is extremely difficult to stick too, spending hundreds on supplements, practitioners charging thousands of dollars to give you the secret to health so then you can be happy. We think let's just try one more program, read one more book and then I'll feel whole. The system whether conventional or functional is profiting off the mindset that we as women need to be fixed.
I encourage and challenge you to remember that you are enough. Just for today, what if you accepted yourself as a whole, even the parts you want to "throw away" because they aren't "pretty." We all have parts of us that cause shame and judgment. What if we lived our lives with radical self-acceptance and recognize those parts of us that do not meet the standards of our harsh inner critic?
If you live around the Lake Orion, MI area I am excited to announce that I will be starting in-person group classes in July to help you create a lifestyle to support self-love in a supportive environment. If you want more information visit my website or feel free to PM me!
