Surviving to Thriving
Twenty years ago, I sustained a devastating neck injury that ruined my life. My life was over, I even wanted to die. Despite chronic pain, disabilities and an uncertain financial future, I had to show up for my children and create a better future. I completed my life long dream of becoming a licensed mental health counselor.
I went from surviving to thriving.
When age 50 was looming, I looked in the mirror and did not recognize the puffy face staring back at me. I was unhealthy, unhappy, and in a bad marriage. And to make things worse, I felt like a fraud at work, I was teaching happiness! I started CrossFit and took charge of my health by drinking water, getting great sleep, eating clean, and moving my body. After just six weeks I was feeling healthier. And happier.
I went from surviving to thriving.
