00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,200
Tell me about your vision. My vision is that people start really comprehending that they can be in

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,960
control of their mental health and it takes these simple daily habits to really change your life

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:22,400
around. I love it like making your bed. Making your bed. Drinking water. Water. I love water.

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:29,680
Water, hydrate, the simple stuff. Yeah. Oh that's great. That's awesome. And so you know it seems

5
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:37,520
like this seems basic but I would call it fundamental. Where did your vision come from and

6
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:43,680
how did you get started in this? I've been a therapist for 20 years and after many years.

7
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:52,160
You started at 12 years old? You're so nice. After many years of being a therapist and working in all

8
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,040
these different settings with clinical teams you know you see kids get better but never 100 percent

9
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,800
and at some point you have to take a step back and say what are we missing? And my first clue

10
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,040
that we were missing something was really with my own kids and how they behaved. One of them in

11
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,720
particular to dairy and her behavior she just melted down constantly. It took a while to figure

12
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,640
out is a dairy insensitivity, not allergy which is why it was harder to catch. And then like

13
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,800
everything really changed so I actually went back to school to become a health coach so I could

14
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,400
incorporate food into my practice. And then since then I've also gone back to get a certification

15
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,360
in sleep coaching. But if these foundations that I talk about and that I wrote about in my books

16
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,760
that if these simple foundations aren't in place you can't have great mental health.

17
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,240
Wow that's deep. I'm gonna ask something personal. Is that okay? Sure. What's the story behind your

18
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:57,200
why? My why is because I had some really great friends in high school who really went down some

19
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,480
bad paths because there was no adult to really talk to them without judgment. And in high school

20
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,720
I said I want to be that person for these kids to be able to talk to without judgment. And that's

21
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,440
why my entire career I've only focused on high school and college kids. Wow okay if somebody

22
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,640
wants to find out the the depths of that story I imagine they can they can talk to you. They can

23
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,960
ask you about it. Thank you for being here today. I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros
