Health and fitness were a constant in my life growing up, but somewhere along the way, I started tying my worth to how hard I worked. Like so many of us, I pushed myself to exhaustion, stuck in cycles of burnout, stress, and emotional eating. The cycles mirrored the amount of stress or joy in my life.

By my 20s, my mental health began to unravel, and a dear friend encouraged me to try therapy. It became my lifeline, but I still treated my body like a machine—overworking it, underfeeding it, and ignoring what it truly needed.

In my 30s, everything came to a head. A Hashimoto diagnosis and a decade-long fertility journey forced me to slow down and start listening to my body for the first time. I learned how to stop the destructive patterns that kept me stuck and became a fierce advocate for my well-being. Healing wasn’t easy, but through therapy, mindfulness, acupuncture, and other holistic practices, I began to reconnect with myself. I confronted the deep depression my fertility journey was causing and got the help I was resisting but desperately needed.

Then, in my 40s, I became a mom! After years of waiting, we got the call our little miracle was coming. But life had another challenge in store—our son was born with a rare heart defect. Those first two years were filled with surgeries, sleepless nights, and uncertainty. Yet, during that time, I learned again how vital self-care is. Taking care of myself was the only way to show up for my son. I leaned deeply into the habits I’d worked so hard to build and created new ones.

My son is three years old and, thank God, is doing great. I continue to be a work-in-progress.

I’m here to help you put your well-being first because I believe that the wisdom you’ve gained from overcoming challenges isn’t just for you—it’s a gift meant to be shared with others.

XO,
Jen
