Sharing from scars, not open wounds.

“Make sure you’re sharing from your scars, not your open wounds.” - Glennon Doyle

Back in January, Joe and I decided that it would be best for me to make some drastic lifestyle changes to prioritize and focus on my health.

Leading up to that conversation, I found myself in a constant state of stress which was impacting me both mentally and physically… which effected my work, personal life and relationships.

I was tired, lost, overwhelmed and felt as if I was constantly spinning my wheels in attempt to prove something, yet continued to go nowhere except deeper into my stress and self-loathing.

I’ll be honest, I felt really sorry for myself.

If our health (mind/body) is suffering, other areas of our life will suffer as a result… and I was living proof of that.

So as ridiculous as the idea to take a “break” from life as I knew it sounded, I did it anyways.

• I hit “pause” on my business.

• I stopped working out.

• I prioritized re-fueling my body and getting to a healthier weight.

• I did everything I could to reduce unnecessary stress.

• I rested.

And it worked.

After only a few short weeks of prioritizing ME, my recovery attempts became apparent. My mental and physical health were improving and for the first time in a long time, I began to feel like myself again.

I wanted to document my journey as it was happening, but it felt too raw to share in real time. So, moving forward, I will share from my healing scars rather than my open wounds.

No matter who you are or what you are going through, please believe that there is always hope for change. My struggles spanned over a 14-year period with many highs and lows. Healing takes time, but it is possible.
