Tell me about your vision. My vision is that people start really comprehending that they can be in
control of their mental health and it takes these simple daily habits to really change your life
around. I love it like making your bed. Making your bed. Drinking water. Water. I love water.
Water, hydrate, the simple stuff. Yeah. Oh that's great. That's awesome. And so you know it seems
like this seems basic but I would call it fundamental. Where did your vision come from and
how did you get started in this? I've been a therapist for 20 years and after many years.
You started at 12 years old? You're so nice. After many years of being a therapist and working in all
these different settings with clinical teams you know you see kids get better but never 100 percent
and at some point you have to take a step back and say what are we missing? And my first clue
that we were missing something was really with my own kids and how they behaved. One of them in
particular to dairy and her behavior she just melted down constantly. It took a while to figure
out is a dairy insensitivity, not allergy which is why it was harder to catch. And then like
everything really changed so I actually went back to school to become a health coach so I could
incorporate food into my practice. And then since then I've also gone back to get a certification
in sleep coaching. But if these foundations that I talk about and that I wrote about in my books
that if these simple foundations aren't in place you can't have great mental health.
Wow that's deep. I'm gonna ask something personal. Is that okay? Sure. What's the story behind your
why? My why is because I had some really great friends in high school who really went down some
bad paths because there was no adult to really talk to them without judgment. And in high school
I said I want to be that person for these kids to be able to talk to without judgment. And that's
why my entire career I've only focused on high school and college kids. Wow okay if somebody
wants to find out the the depths of that story I imagine they can they can talk to you. They can
ask you about it. Thank you for being here today. I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros
