The Birthday Trip, The Test Results, and the Coach I Didn't Plan to Be... Why Joint Pain, Inflammation & Weight Gain Were My Gift!
What does turning 50 teach you about life, health, adventure, and what really matters? In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing what my 50th year has already taught me—and why I believe we’re never finished growing, changing, and becoming. From celebrating with my kids in Nashville and Seattle, to wake surfing, making sourdough, traveling, and creating experiences instead of waiting for the “perfect” moment, this episode is a reflection on what it means to intentionally create the next chapter of your life. But 50 also brought some unexpected health revelations. After experiencing joint pain, brain fog, inflammation, weight changes, and other symptoms, I decided to dig deeper into what was happening in my body. That journey led to testing for Lyme disease and co-infections—and to a whole new chapter of learning about health, nutrition, and the mind-body-spirit connection. And then came the bigger realization: Sometimes the universe asks us to cocoon before we're ready to become the butterfly. I share what that cocooning season has looked like for me, the messages I've been receiving about the next evolution of my work, and why I'm stepping forward to support others navigating Lyme, chronic health challenges, and mysterious illnesses. ✨ If you're entering a new decade, navigating a major transition, feeling called toward something new, or simply wondering what you want the next chapter of your life to look like, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep going. You might be in your cocoon right now. And your butterfly may be closer than you think. Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
