What would you say is your why?
I know you mentioned is leaving the world a better place.
Is there something other than that
that's make you started on this path of your why?
Yeah, great question.
So this goes back to when I was 12 years old.
So when I was 12 years old,
I was actually diagnosed with chronic migraines.
And long story short, medications were not working.
They were not getting rid of these migraines.
So as part of this study,
just looking at kind of lifestyle intervention treatment.
And basically what I was told to do is just journal,
journal everything, journal what you eat,
days you're active, what that physical activity is,
all of that.
And so what they ended up finding out in the study
and what I ended up finding out about myself
is that the days that I was active, I ate better,
I slept better, and that I was not getting these migraines
on days that I was physically active.
And so 12 years old,
that really was a foundational shift for me to realize,
okay, if I wanna be well, and I wanna feel good,
I need to move every day.
And so that really took me on this path
of looking at wellbeing,
looking at personal growth and development.
How do I continue to improve that?
What does that look like for me?
And it's really been a thread
that's been woven into everything that I do.
When I really look at the pursuit of wellbeing,
what does that look like in our work?
What does that look like in our relationships,
in our personal lives,
and in our physical fitness as examples?
And that's really my why.
I love the writing side of that,
when writing in the wellness space.
I love speaking in that space,
but I also love working with schools
and in the education space to improve school environments
so that they can be healthy and well for all children.
So I guess that's a little bit about my why,
and it's been great to be able to make a career out of that
and just to be aligned with what you do and who you are
and what you really stand for.
So it's been good.
