Aligned Health and Mind
my story
Just like you, I've experienced highs and lows in life. I have been through trauma, loss, grief, chronic illness and I have also found forgiveness for others and myself, love and pure joy on the other side of these events.
My story is meant to inspire you to a life of freedom!
To know that no matter what chapters have unfolded in your past, you have the power to write your own ending.
The more you align with your inner self and choose to share all that you are, your story, and all that you were created to be with the world, the stronger your passion will be and the more you will discover abundant health, and purpose in your life.
In 2008 my life changed in ways I wasn’t able to foresee or imagine. My body went on full-attack, an all out war fighting itself in an epic battle resulting in days, weeks, and months where I could not write, walk or even do the basic self-care daily tasks without incredible pain and difficulty. The intense pain and inflammation wreaked havoc on my body for six months before I was seen by an Internal Medicine Specialist. In the spring of 2009 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
After decades of unexplained pain and other symptoms, of pushing through, rarely missing a day of work, driven to excel and be the best at work and home yet going through cycles of burnout, totally exhaustion I thought I finally had an answer. By this time, I was unable to continue working at my job and honestly could barely function; I was still relieved to have the diagnosis. The doctor(s) did not offer much hope that my body would rebound and basically told me that I should go on disability and prescribed a myriad of drugs to manage the symptoms.
I found myself in a place of complete and total exhaustion, unable to work, and yet the hardest part was letting go of all the demands I had placed on myself over the years. I felt the need to be the ‘perfect’ mom, wife, employee, daughter, friend…I thought I had to do more, work more, volunteer more, be the school helper, provide more financially for our family…I think you get the picture. I had tied my worth to doing, if I could not DO; I thought I was a failure.
Maybe you can relate?
Maybe you can relate to this drive to DO, to keep going no matter what is happening for you? No matter how sick you are feeling? Do you have a desire to do more in the world, dreams you want to make a reality no matter what the cost to you? A deep desire to find your purpose and live in alignment with it, making a difference?
Dear sweet woman, you matter and you can fulfill your purpose without compromising your identity, self or health.
During the full-on flare of rheumatoid arthritis, I dove deep into the arms of Jesus, I admit first in anger and disbelief but later, I came to a place of understanding and love for the experience I was having and what I was learning through them.
I prayed, meditated, and during this time of rest and recovery I learned a lot about myself and why I always pushed so hard and placed huge demands on myself. I began to realize and understand how childhood traumas had led me to people-pleasing and perfectionist tendencies that were causing more harm than good, to myself and those around me.
My past patterns of behaviour had led to a constant state of high anxiety and stress and repeated cycles of burnout. I wanted my health to be better and had to address the underlying issues. I studied personal development, sought counselling, coaching, and read voraciously to discover and implement techniques to change my thoughts and beliefs about myself and others.
I began to believe I was good enough and worthy of all the best life has to offer because God created me and He wants His children to prosper. Whether my body was healthy or not, whether I had a job or not; I could choose how I reacted to the circumstances and determine how well I lived in sickness, and in health. God created me and He created you and we are perfect in His eyes.
It took two years of rest, inner healing work, mentally and physically, before my mind and body were in agreement and alignment so that I could resume a somewhat ‘normal’ life in society. I would like to say that this is where my story ends, that this major burnout and frame in time set me on the path of my true purpose, but that wouldn’t come for years later.
The pain and inflammation were being managed, albeit not very well, with medications and the RA was in a remission of sorts. I was able to go back to work in the medical field, and volunteer at church and our daughter’s schools, and made sure to incorporate self-care and rest into my week.
At the recommendation of my daughters, I even started a blog! This endeavour expanded my knowledge and plopped me in the entrepreneurial arena where I gained many new skills and a love for having my own business. Soon I had a fun side hustle blogging about home decor and home organizing.
I was not doing any of these things out of a feeling of obligation but found joy and purpose in helping others.
Life was good….but then one day my world began to fall apart.
My biological father and my father-in-law were both diagnosed with lung cancer and both passed by 2017. My adopted mom (who raised me from the time I was 2 weeks old ) was diagnosed with cancer for the third time in 2017. This time, cancer spread throughout her bones, it was so hard to see her in such horrific agony and pain. She fought hard but passed away in 2018. Three parents lost to the evil that is cancer, the grief weighed heavy on me and affected my mental and physical health negatively.
The following year my biological mom was diagnosed with cancer. I left home and went to stay with her. I was her sole caregiver until she went into hospice. While she was in hospice I lived alone in a hotel across the street from the facility.
I was five hours from home and any support of family or friends. My mom passed away on December 2nd, 2019.
My anxiety and stress were at an all-time high, and after the loss of my fourth parent, the grief became unbearable. I began to experience a decline in my mental and physical health.
I was angry, disappointed, depressed and felt totally unsupported by the medical professionals who were once again unable to diagnose and help me with the symptoms.
Fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, blurred vision and more. After returning home and working for a few months, fighting to get my weekly hours reduced and keep my job; I was forced out of what I thought was my ‘ultimate career’ at a major university.
Not only was the HR department not helpful but I was told flat out that if I turned in a medical note indicating I was unable to work full-time hours that the University would fire me. By this point; I was too sick to fight this battle, so I resigned rather than be fired.
Months later, it was discovered that my thyroid was not functioning properly and that the current thyroid issues I was experiencing were a side effect of the medication I was on for Rheumatoid Arthritis. At one appointment, the doctor again advised me to apply for disability; I looked him right in the eye and said “I am not done living yet, and I am too young to give up.”
This was just not an option that felt right in my soul and I vowed to do everything in my power to assure that no company would ever run me out of my job again. I knew there was a bigger purpose behind everything I had gone through and I was determined to figure it out! I had to find a way to get off prescription medications, heal naturally and stop they vicious cycle of 24/7 hustle to burnout, recover, hustle, burnout.
My interest in natural products and alternative health grew and I continued trying health strategies and measures outside of the traditional health sector believing that I could feel better. A few supplements and diet changes I tried would provide temporary relief but never to the point where I could discontinue all medications.
In 2020 I took a leap of faith and ordered a gut health system hoping it would provide more relief from the symptoms related to my autoimmune system that had now run amock for decades.
Within five days I had relief from pain and was sleeping through the night, waking up with abundant energy, clarity, and a knowing that this was the answer.
Within a few months, I was able to start decreasing prescription medications (with the guidance of my doctor) and at the time I am writing this, November 2021, I am weaning off the last prescription medication. Soon I will be taking NONE! I don’t even take over the counter meds! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s, Sjogrens, Fibromyalgia and I have less pain and symptoms now than when I took a basketful of prescription medications.
I do not want others to suffer for decades in pain and sickness as I did. The physical and emotional issues that can arise from living with chronic illness are not our fault. I don’t want others to feel guilty or beat themselves up for not living up to their own expectations of life. Allowing thoughts that come with “I am sick” to control their outcome and future.
It is my passion to help and guide women dealing with autoimmune issues who are suffering from the burnout cycle to have their best life now by harnessing the power of their minds to take control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, igniting the spiritual, intuitive, and powerful women they were designed to be.
It is my mission to see as many women who are experiencing burnout, (even to the point of autoimmune disease) live in abundant health so that they can make the income they deserve while working from home without burnout, overwhelm and disconnect from their true selves.
And I want to show you how!
Are you ready to create your best life now? The life you’ve always dreamed of. The life you are meant for.
I know you have the power within you, and I want you to know that the time is now!
Not tomorrow or next week – NOW!
Don’t put your life on hold any longer or wait for another life changing moment to make you realize you were destined for more.
