Since graduating high school, my fitness has taken a backseat, resulting in significant weight fluctuations due to desk jobs over 25 years. I suffered from stomach ulcers and gastro issues, which led to a bland diet and occasional undernourishment. Breaking my foot in 2015 was a turning point. I reached nearly 200 pounds and tried various diets and exercise routines without success due to pain and inconsistency.
Intermittent fasting and Isagenix protein shakes marked the beginning of my progress. Walking my rescue dogs became a daily routine, helping me lose over 50 pounds. However, the pandemic in 2020 caused setbacks, and old habits resurfaced, leading to persistent bloat and joint pain.
A pivotal change occurred when I met a nutrition coach who highlighted the impact of high carbs and sugars on my body. Through a new program focused on habit changes and mindset shifts, I began a transformative journey toward optimal health. I broke free from my plateau by planning meals and incorporating small, sustainable hydration, movement, and nutrition habits.
Now, I share my experiences and knowledge with my clients, guiding them through similar transformations toward optimal health and well-being.
Transformative Journey into My 40s
Entering my 40s marked the beginning of a profound transformation towards mindfulness and embracing my inner power. The past three years have been a journey of integrating the Mindful Balance 360 program principles into my life, achieving a holistic balance in faith, fitness, and finances.
Foundation Phase
The journey began with building awareness and intention. I delved into mindfulness practices, learning to be present and set meaningful intentions. A personalized assessment helped me identify spiritual, physical, and financial challenges. Setting SMART goals aligned with my values laid the groundwork for sustainable change.
In faith, I embraced guided meditations and reflective practices, deepening my spiritual connection and exploring my purpose. Engaging in community activities provided support and enriched my spiritual growth. Physically, I incorporated mindful movement into daily routines. Simple activities like yoga and walking became mindful practices, enhancing my physical health and energy levels. Personalized fitness plans tailored to my capabilities ensured consistency and progress.
Integration and Growth
The second year focused on integrating these mindfulness practices across all areas of my life. Holistic sessions combine spiritual, physical, and financial mindfulness, fostering a comprehensive sense of well-being. Regular check-ins allowed me to review progress and adjust goals, addressing emerging challenges.
Financially, I adopted mindful spending habits, budgeting with intention, and cultivating a positive financial mindset. Managing and reducing debt through strategic planning provided financial stability and reduced stress. This integrated approach led to noticeable improvements in my overall well-being, creating a harmonious balance in my daily life.
Embracing Inner Power
The third year was about embracing my inner power and sustaining the practices I had developed. I continued to refine my mindfulness techniques, ensuring they were deeply ingrained in my daily routines. The emphasis was on maintaining balance and fulfillment in the long term.
Spiritual practices evolved, deepening my connection with my beliefs and fostering inner peace. Physical health flourished as mindful movement became second nature, complementing healthy nutrition and stress management habits. Financial stability turned into financial confidence, and a positive relationship with money enhanced my sense of security.
Throughout these three years, the support and accountability from the Mindful Balance 360 community were invaluable. Sharing experiences and learning from others in the program created a supportive environment that fostered growth and resilience.
Conclusion
My journey into my 40s has been a transformative path of mindfulness and embracing inner power. Integrating mindful practices in faith, fitness, and finances through The Empowered Woman’s Path program has led to profound changes in my life. Today, I live with intention, purpose, and resilience, and I am passionate about helping others achieve the same holistic well-being.
