Losing Your Ambitious Edge When Healing

Are you afraid that healing will cost you your drive? That if you let go of the hustle, you'll lose the edge that made you successful?

I've been there. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey — from building a million-dollar business fueled by rage and something to prove, to closing it all down, going through a complete identity crumble, and rebuilding from a place of actual joy. 

It was messy. 

It was painful. 

And it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

If you're a high-achiever who's afraid to slow down because you think healing and ambition can't coexist — this episode is the one I wish I'd had.

What we cover:

• Why I closed a thriving business at the height of my success
• The difference between relentlessness and perseverance (this one's a game-changer)
• How my food rules and my hustle culture were rooted in the same wound
• Why your body settles when you stop fighting it
• How to rebuild your ambition from joy instead of fear

Hello, hello, my beautiful people. Welcome back to another episode of the Fuel the Fire podcast. I have just returned from vacation, so I'm feeling really tan and really relaxed, thankfully. There was a moment, though, of course, after you come back from any vacation where you're just kind of like, wow, back to reality. But I feel really thankful because with the way things have been going with Fuel the Fire, I've been really happy in my business, knock on wood. Um, and this kind of, you know, meshes really well with today's topic around kind of like losing your ambitious edge when going through the healing process. This sounds scary, but do not be alarmed, especially if you're listening to this and have fear of the same thing happening, because I was once in that exact same space. And I'm here on the other side to kind of tell you what that journey looks like and how it really works to overcome it. Um, so I recently read a post on Instagram by um an influencer, we'll say, of course, that kind of had this journey and talked a little bit about it. And this is something that I went through and I always look back at the time that I went through it, wishing I had someone to talk to about it. I felt like no one else was really understanding what I was trying to say. You know, I think I went through this really challenging big moment in my life. And looking around, you know, again, it's it's kind of like I hit a peak really fast in comparison to other people. And sometimes that feels uncomfortable to say because I don't want it to seem like I'm tooting my own horn in this, but it's just a reality that, you know, other people may or may not experience. But going on the other side of it. So to get into detail about this, I'll just give you the whole scoop, right? And I've talked about this before. Every time I talk about this, I feel like there's a new layer that comes out in the story in the sense where I gain a new perspective on a situation that happened. You know, looking back at things, you get a little bit more clarity, right? People always say hindsight is 2020. There are still things that I'm learning and pulling from that experience in my life that are helping me become stronger, become better, and regain my confidence. So when I started my business, I was so ambitious. I would do anything that it took to experience success, especially when it came to how well I could help people and how fast I could grow my business from a financial and also just like a concrete standpoint where I actually wanted to expand the business, have multiple locations, have different facets to the business. So when I started, I had this really big, ambitious vision. And that vision came to life, right? So my physical business at the time, when I first started my business, I was just doing nutrition counseling one-on-one. That's all there was. I it was me in a little office. I paid $500 a month to rent this office. Um, I didn't have a waiting room. People would like to walk in on each other's sessions. It was a bit of a mess, but it was a starting point. And I was really excited that I was embarking on this journey. I had always known that I wanted to have my own business, specifically a private practice. Initially, you know, when I throw it back to like high school or middle school, at the time I really wanted to be a doctor. So I thought my private practice was going to be in medicine, but I pivoted because I really love the preventative end of health. You know, how do you take care of yourself in a way where you don't need to go to the doctors and do that at a higher frequency? Of course, you should still do your annual checkups, but you know what I mean. When I started my private practice, I honestly was kind of scared. I spent a year working for, you know, I would loosely say working for because realistically I had to hustle to get my own clients. Even if I brought in people from outside of that pre-existing business, they were still taking an embarrassing percent of that. I can't even stomach saying it out loud. Um, I'll tell you guys, of course. You're my listeners. So people were paying like $100, $120 an hour to work with me, and I was making $12.50, $12.50 of that was coming to me. So I had to work really hard to get such a small percentage. And, you know, I'm someone with a master's degree. I, you know, and but the thing about it is during the time, the reason I accepted it was because this was like my first adult job. And I had kind of accepted this thought that, like, you know what, I have to work my way to the top. And it felt like more money than I was used to receiving because before that I was working for $7.25 an hour minimum wage. And that was like amazing to me. It was money, right? And so in my head, I'm like, whoa, whoo! I'm like almost doubling that. How phenomenal. And I worked tirelessly. I'm not exaggerating. I would wake up and run, I think it was like a four or four thirty a.m. fitness class. I would run all the morning classes, see um, and I went to actually a second job. I think the structure of this, I taught morning classes, went to a second job at Gold's gym, was selling memberships there. And then in the evening, I would return and see nutrition clients at this place. And so I was going balls to the wall, okay. And I usually would do my own workouts at like 8 p.m. or whenever I could squeeze them in. So I was just like a little workhorse, okay? I loved my identity as an ambitious chickadee. Okay. This made me feel so good. I was like, no one's badder than me, no one works harder than me. Hustle, hustle, hustle. And I loved that mentality. I literally, oh my gosh. Like I would, I remember if anyone else is a Flagnorfail fan or followed Danilyn Bailey, who was a competitive bodybuilder for many years. Um, I don't know what she's up to now. I don't follow her anymore. But she had like a hustle harder, like hoodie clothing, shorts, all the things like clothing line. And oh my gosh, I like cringe at that version of myself because I had like hoodies that would say things like hustle harder and like, oh my God. I first of all, like a screen printed T-shirt. I just I don't even really do those types of things anymore. The very occasional one-word tasteful thing, throw-on shirt or hat, something like that is fine. But anyway, I digress. That that was my vibe, okay. Like I was kind of grunge, I would wear backwards baseball caps. I always felt like so hardcore in a sense. And that was just the same mentality I had in my work, you know, from how hard I would push at the gym, being a competitive athlete. I think at that time I was a power lifter. And I was competing in powerlifting meets, and I had broken state records, and I was so proud of myself, right? And like I, you know, I was humble to the people around me, but internally, of course, you have to be like a little, a little crazy, a little delusional, if that would be the right set of words, to push yourself to those extremes. I was fueled by the desire to prove everyone wrong about what I am capable of. I grew up with a chip on my shoulder. And this is to no one's fault. You know, I don't blame anyone for this. Maybe at the time when I was younger, I think I had anger or frustration towards family members, but it really wasn't their fault. When I reflect, I really see that it was me, you know, that I just had these inherent thoughts. And sure, maybe there were some scenarios in my childhood that I don't want to get into detail about, but some of these scenarios maybe just made me feel like I had something to prove. Right. And so I felt like as a female, being second born to a male, I felt like I had to be like, okay, everything my brother did, I have to do it better. And I wanted to be really good at everything. And I was raised with the mindset of like, if you're not the best, don't even bother doing it. So I always pushed myself to be really good at anything that I did. I had a hard time not being good at things. I would do things relentlessly until I could do them well. I that was just my personality at the time, right? And what now looking back at the point that I'm at, I really do see that that was just like that ambition was really fueled by sadness and almost fear, I would say. Fear that I wouldn't be good enough, fear that I wouldn't become something better, a fear that people would be right. The negative things people said about me would be true. And I really wanted to prove myself. I wanted to show up and say, like, okay, anything a dude can do, I can do it. Because there was kind of this like cultural thing around, you know, guys can do more, they carry the family name, there's more of a legacy, you know, they're the ones that are gonna make the money. Not that my parents ever said it, but there were undertones that I experienced and saw and witness in other people in my culture. And so I just wanted to be proof that it could be different, all right. And that I could make a name for my family, I could be successful, I could be this millionaire, and I had to accomplish it. Okay. So at this point, going back, I'm taking a complete tangent, of course, so typical of me. Um so going back to when I first started my business, my dad kind of pushed me to do it. You know, I got my, I think what is it called? Like a W-2 form. This really shows you like that was the last time I really, yeah, I like looking back at that, my W-2 was something like $12,000 from this place, right? And I had pretty much like I was full-time there. I was working two full-time jobs, okay, mind you. And so working full-time out full-time hours there and I made $12,000. That's crazy. When I saw that number, and then I thought about like the idea of what I wanted to make a year. At that time, my goal was to make six figures a year. And that really just made me realize how far off the mark I was and how much I was taken advantage of. They had hired someone new around the time that I got my W-2. I heard what they were getting paid, and it was double, more than double what I was getting paid. And I, and it was a male. So I really just I like almost lost my mind. I think in that moment, I was like, oh my gosh, am I like being discriminated against? Like, I don't like I didn't know what was going on. Like I just couldn't believe it. Like, I'm bringing in this kind of money for the business and I'm getting so little back. And I did so much to help that business start up. I did a lot of volunteer work for that business. I was not getting paid to do some of the things that I was doing, many of the things actually that I was doing for that business. And for someone to just show up and then get preferential treatment for whatever reason, God knows, I was like, I this is my time. I need to leave. And so my dad kind of made that push. He found an office and told me, hey, like, meet me at this office. This is a good place for you. And I was like, oh my gosh, I'm kind of nervous. But I made the leap and I did it. I probably wouldn't have done it without my daddy really pushed me to go there, but it was so, so worth it because just after my first year, um, I of course I'm like quadrupled my income because I was actually getting paid for the work that I was doing. And so that again was just a lot of proof that was exciting, that big turnaround, that big year, that felt amazing. And it really showed me like all of this ambition that I have in my head and this desire, this drive that I had all of my life to be super successful from a financial business standpoint. I was like, okay, here is concrete proof that it is happening. So from that point forward, again, I did everything that I possibly could. I worked long hours. I fit as many people into my schedule as I possibly could. I would say yes to any request for an appointment. I was all in, okay. I grew the business. It pretty much every year from then it doubled. Um, and then it got to a point where it wasn't exactly doubling, but I was growing at quite a rapid rate. So, in a matter of five years, I had gotten to a place that I mean, I'd like to say I couldn't believe it, but I knew like some crazy part of me knew that I was gonna get there because I gave it no other option. Failure was not an option. That's really how I got there the first round. And I was just so filled with rage. You would never know it if you met me in a professional setting, like you would probably think most of my clients would say, and I I can even think back to some clients that would say it that met me in my office versus at the gym. If you saw me in a professional setting, most people would say, Wow, you're so calm, cool, and collected. And, you know, I feel safe being emotional around you. And though that's the type of feedback that I would get. If you would see me in the gym, I have like converse on, dark makeup, tattoos, and this, all this stuff I would hide. Okay. I hid my tattoos and that flare in a professional setting. I dressed professionally and I always covered my tattoos. And it like it's it's kind of interesting. You know, I'm both people. I think I hold both of them, but it depended on the setting that you would catch me in, the energy that you would feel from me. And the reason that I bring that up is because, again, there was that duality, you know, there was the soft part of me that really craved being able to be emotional and sensitive and aware. The other part of me kind of was like that more tough exterior, harder drive. You know, I almost said alpha female, but like that's just so ick to me to say. It's more of just that persona that I would put off at the gym where I was just like, I'm intense, I'm strong, I'm so confident. Like you could not mess with me in that setting. And so through that, I really like allowed my experiences in the gym to kind of help me get rid, not necessarily get rid of, but more like transmute that energy. I was able to move my anger and my frustrations in that way, and it felt really good. That type of movement, I always say, and it's still a strong belief that I have now, that movement helps release what's stuck in the body. There are different types of movement for different types of stuck energies and emotions in the body. Now I'm a little more specific and almost like use movement as a prescription to my emotional world so that I can move through whatever is stuck inside of me. But we'll get to that in a little bit in more detail. This entire phase of my business, like I had the big broad goal of wanting to be a millionaire before 30. And I was really, really set on accomplishing it. Looking back, if you really were to ask me like why I needed this, because you know, I did I really need a million dollars? Probably not. Did I want it very much? Yes. And I did end up accomplishing this goal. You know, I wanted to do it, like I wanted my business to make a million dollars in one year. I didn't quite get it in one year, but I was able to do it in two. So that to me was like, okay, you know, I know it's going on. I have this drive in me, it's always gonna be there. But there was a part of me that was exhausted, right? When I got to this really big year in my business, that was when I started to almost feel like this pressure. Like everyone is relying on me. You know, at the time I was paying for bills for my parents, I was really buying everyone extravagant gifts, my nieces, uh, my parents, my siblings, taking my sister on trips. I love being able to spoil everyone. It was kind of like, okay, I worked this hard so that I can enjoy these pleasures of life. And because I was making more than the people around me, if other people didn't have the means to do it, I would just pay for them. And I was happy to do that. I was happy to give. I loved the feeling of giving while also looking back, that piece was also somewhat egoic. You know, I think that we don't recognize that enough that us giving to people does do something for our ego while we can feel, okay, this is selfless and it's beautiful to be able to give, it's beautiful for people to receive. There is a part of my identity that was wrapped up in being that person, the one that gives so freely, the one that loves so deeply, the one that sacrifices for the people around her. I liked being the kid in the family to my parents that was able to give so much because I felt like, and this is probably middle child syndrome. I think subconsciously, I always felt like I was the least favorited because I have an older sibling and a younger sibling. So, of course, like the older sibling kind of gets that, you know, like I'm the star type of vibe sort of thing. And the younger kid gets spoiled, and of course, I was contributing to her being a little spoiled, but um nonetheless, like, you know, it those are just stereotypes. My sister does work hard, not to discredit her at all. But anyway, my point being was I had middle child syndrome. That's just the truth. So I felt like I had to really prove that like I am a lovable child and I do deserve to be uh loved and appreciated the same way that I felt like in my mind I was somewhat missed in my childhood. Um and so through that, um really what happened next is kind of like I hate to call it a downfall, but in my mind, that's what it felt like. And this is something that I've seen a couple of influencers talk about too, some big influencers, especially people that I have followed, that I'm seeing in this past year discuss this experience. And again, I had no one that I knew at the time going through it. It was like I had everything that I had so were like I worked for so hard, right? Like I put my all into creating this business, and some part of me felt empty. I felt like I had to let go of it. I've recorded videos and looked back at them, telling myself, telling my future self, like, hey, when you look back at this, this is exactly what's going through my mind. I'm so glad that I did that. And interestingly enough, you know, during the time I didn't have a strong reason other than feeling like I had to do it, feeling like I had to close my business. Um I look back and try to make reason every step thereafter, once I made that decision to close it, it was very painful, super painful for my ego to make less money. Um, people stopped talking to me. People were really angry with me for my decisions. Um I hurt people and it sucks. You know, of course I'm not the victim in it. Like when you hurt someone, it's like it's it's still hard to sit with if you're empathetic. Like I made this choice knowing that I had to cause pain and that it was gonna cause me a lot of pain. Um, but I didn't fully understand to the degree of which it would hurt before doing it. I think if I knew how much it would hurt, I would have had probably more fear around making that decision. Either way, I just feel like it was the power of God or something going on in me. I just had to do it. Through that were my biggest life lessons, I must say. You know, my the depth of my relationships was the biggest thing that shifted. And I mean that with my family, with my friendships, and my romantic life. Those three things could have never flourished the way that they did if it weren't through me closing my business. There were a lot of lessons in the and With this, the overarching thing that was going on was my business was built off of my fuel from anger, suppression. Literally, the name of my business was Fuel the Fire because that's how I felt. Like anything in life that is thrown at you, any curveball, you use that to fuel your fire. You use that to drive yourself. And now what I've re-evaluated is what is the fuel that pushes me forward if I've healed myself in those ways. And that was a real fear I had. If I heal myself, if I work on these things, will I still have that same edge, the same ambition to build, to create something? I was so afraid to let go of that because I didn't know what was going to push me forward if I didn't have that rage and something to prove. After this long period of time, you know, and I, if you're into astrology, there was something happening with my planets. I had someone explain this to me, and it was going on for like a couple of years, which is crazy how it fits my timeline so well. Because during those two years, that something would theoretically happen, it actually really did. And it was hard. I went through so many ego deaths, letting go of so many parts of myself, and essentially like detangling, like losing that enmeshment I had with my business. My business gave me so much worth. Like I was like, okay, even if my love life sucks, even if my family or relationships are strained, even if my friendships are strained, I have my business, I have my success, I have my money. And I just realized that was never going to fill me. That was never going to make my life feel like it was fully worth it. I mean, I loved the work that I was doing. And I think many people had positive experiences coming to fuel the fire and being a part of the fire fam, as I like to call it. But there was something within me that needed to shift. And I'm in the phase of rebuilding now. So after those two years, it was crazy. It was messy. Um, I struggled. I didn't know who I was. I didn't understand my identity. I didn't know what I wanted out of life. I didn't know how to make money. It felt like I was just an absolute mess and I couldn't decide which way was up. I couldn't figure it out. After that period of time, and I'm not saying that you have to go through it, I think you can go through it much more gracefully than I did. Um, but I will also say sometimes you have to have some of these pains and struggles and challenges to really show you what you're meant for, what you're capable of, and how good life can actually be on the other side of it. Life isn't all rainbows and butterflies. And it was my resistance of going through it that made it even harder on me. If I just accepted it, if I just let it happen, it probably would have gone more smoothly. But again, my ego, I really struggled with letting go of the idea that, you know, like, what am I worth if I'm not producing? You know, I couldn't give people the gifts that I was giving them. I could barely take care of myself. You know, I was burning through my savings. I was trying to figure out how to make things work and continue to like keep my house or, you know, have my car and all of these things that were supposed to feel so easy, that did feel so easy that I didn't have to think about, you know, just like going to the grocery store. All of a sudden, there was so much pressure on every one of those things of like, how am I gonna figure this out? How am I gonna pay all my bills? How am I gonna feed myself? And it was in that time that I really learned how to be a receiver. You know, like that was something that I struggled with. I could give, give, give, and I always saw myself as almost like a martyr. I needed to learn how to allow other people to help me. I didn't know how to do that. And that was my big shift from like driving in my masculine energy to being able to be soft in my feminine energy. Like, no guy, especially like in the dating world, it's like I was the one that was like, I'm the one that makes the money, I take care of everything, I'm on top of it, I'm responsible. And I attracted partners that weren't really like super open to giving in the way that I was. And so naturally, though, like of course it had to be that way because you kind of attract the opposite of what you are. So, how was I ever going to be a match for someone that wanted to give? You know, even with my family, they helped me out a bit during that period. And I had always had it in my head like it's my job to take care of my family. And then it was the reverse. Like, my parents helped me and took care of me during those really tough times. And that was a degree of closeness that I didn't have with my parents. You know, our relationships were really different. Um, my relationship with my mom was like a little turbulent. Um, we didn't see eye to eye, and I would always be like, oh my gosh, we're nothing alike. She would also say that about me, like we had nothing in common. And oftentimes when we would get together, we would have some kind of disagreement, and I would leave, and it just like wasn't it wasn't healthy. Um, and I love my mom so dearly. It's crazy the way our relationship shifted. Um, and I'm always hesitant to talk about this because, you know, where I'm at now with my mom, it's like night and day. You know, we have such a healthy, loving relationship. You know, she I think the depth of our love got so much deeper. She cares for me in a way that I didn't recognize before, I couldn't accept before. Um, and that's really beautiful. Oh my gosh, I could tear up talking about it. Um, but yeah, even with my parents, like I I didn't feel like I could be fully honest about the weak parts of me. I felt like anything that wasn't ambitious and successful and pushing through and ignoring feelings and ignoring pain, I thought that meant that you were weak in life and that wasn't good. And I didn't want to share any of my struggles. Now, you know, on my podcast with my family, with my friends, I talk about those things I never did before. You know, some of my friends would say, like, if, you know, I had been like my best friend. She would say, like, I had never seen you cry up until that point. And we had been friends, best, best friends since sixth grade, which is crazy to think that like I never once shared those emotions with her out of fear, you know, or just out of wanting to be the one that always has it together. And that got to be so heavy. So, so heavy. Um, so if you're listening and you've lived that experience of feeling like you're the responsible one, you have to take care of everything, you have to push. That weight can feel like a lot. And it's not to say that you have to put that down and you're not going to be able to be that person anymore. That's what I feared. And that's what felt so hard. I felt like I was losing that successful part of myself going through this phase, not making the money, not feeling valuable, not feeling like I was contributing to the world in any way. It hurt. It was hard. I had to re-find myself, relearn myself. I started asking myself, like, what I actually wanted, not just from an ego standpoint, but from an internal standpoint, from an emotional standpoint, from a fulfillment standpoint. I was right in many ways. Like I still love my business and I want to recreate it in a completely new light. And that's what this version has been. I'm no longer fueled by those things that pushed me before, but I still have the edge. But it comes from this place of actually being in a state of joy, in a state of pleasure as I achieve my goals. And I will say it's happening slower, right? Like through that ambition and the grind, sure, it happened faster, but I wasn't enjoying the ride as much. You know, like I enjoyed myself in my business, outside of my business. I didn't have that same joy. And now I'm like, I want to hold joy in both. And I feel so lucky now because of this huge shift. Now I'm with a partner that I'm going to marry that I absolutely love. My friendships are so much closer. My relationships with my parents, like I said, totally different. And that's what I have to remind myself. I didn't have those things before. Before I really healed those parts of me, I couldn't accept love. And to me, the most magical experience in life is to be in the energy of love. Whether that again is family, friendship, romantic. That feeling is like no other. Joy gets to be a part of my everyday. I get to be the person that I want to be. I get to show up in all of my parts. Messy, put together, it doesn't matter. They're both me, and I get to hold all of that duality. That becomes your new fuel. You start to create from a space of pleasure. You create from that space of centeredness, from balance. You are holding more, and that's how I've had to remind myself I'm holding more things at once and bringing them all up together. So the thing about it is now my relationships, whether that's like with my family, my friends, and my partner, those are all holding me up while I rebuild that confidence in my business. My foundation is so much more solid. Before my foundation on my business was shady. Now it is so solid, so concrete. I'm building from center. I have so much more wisdom, and that is the beauty of moving through life. You gain this wisdom and you get to use it moving forward. You don't really lose that edge. You lose the relentlessness. But to me, being relentless and having perseverance, perseverance are two totally different things. Relentless is like willing to throw anything out the window to get to that goal. Perseverance is being able to take it on the chin, move forward, hold space for yourself, and keep going. And that's totally different. Totally, totally different. And that's what you build from. So if you're going through that crumble, if you're afraid to let go, if you're afraid that your success will never come if you let go or heal, just know that that's not true. You know, and the same goes for that experience, even with my relationship with food, you know, so meticulous, so balls to the wall, meal prepping, meticulous, weighing, measuring, like all of that. I was afraid when I stopped that my body would change and I wouldn't love my body anymore. But the opposite happened. I stopped pushing. And, you know, for a little bit, it was messy. I won't lie. Again, not for two years though. Um, but you know, when I let go of all these food rules, like, yeah, I started going out to eat. I started eating more carbs. I started doing like desserts on random days and that stuff that I just didn't let myself do before. But eventually it balances out, it evens out. And when you get rid of those rules, you naturally come into a place of just self-regulation. You start paying more attention to what your body really wants. And now I trust my body to tell me what I want the same way before. It's like I outsource that knowledge. I focused on external things, external rules, society. And then I shifted to a place of I'm going to be driven from within. I have God at my center, and that is what leads me through this. I trust my intuition. You know, these are the things that now help me move forward. I trust that everything that I'm doing is for a bigger picture and that I have permission to enjoy myself along the way. And I can still love my life. I can still love my body. I can still make lots of money. I can still serve so many people. I can give back to the community. I can donate the way that I loved. You know, fuel the fire gets to be everything that I want it to be, but it gets to come from a very grounded, centered place rather than being fueled by a wound. And I trust that the growth in this, you know, again, I'm I'm happy with where I'm at. I know that there's more. Um, and that excites me to think about that. This business gets to expand and evolve in such beautiful ways that I don't have fully worked out. But I will say I was on a plane ride yesterday, coming back from vacation, and I get my best ideas when on a plane because you're like totally detached from everything. Um, I have some beautiful things in the works. I feel connected to my vision again. You know, I felt so disconnected from that for so long. And I feel like it's coming back in. I'm praying on it day after day and trusting that God will keep showing me the next steps and what I need to do. And just having that faith is ultimately what will get you through whatever phase that you're currently in. Okay. And if you're feeling totally lost, listen, I created body and soul freedom during this time because they were the exact tools that helped me work on my relationship with food and my body and my freaking soul. I'm telling you, I'm such a liberated person compared to how I used to be. And I can see it. Like if you look at pictures of me back then, like, oh my gosh, I struggled with acne. I just like felt inflamed and poofy all the time. Even though I was like leaner and more muscular, you could tell there was just almost just like this energy of stress, like just oozing out of my skin. Um, and now it's so different. I was like literally looking in the mirror today, and I'm like, dang girl, that skin, it's looking on fleek. But like literally, I it's the physical shift. You can literally see how I've changed and your body is a representation of that. Um, and so I created body and soul freedom because it carried me through that, going from this like highly ambitious, hardcore, competitive girl to this really embodied, graceful woman that knows how to carry herself, that takes care of herself, that isn't putting her ego in the driver's seat anymore. But, you know, I still get to experience that joy, pleasure, luxury that I crave. If you are ready for that, DM me, shoot me a message, click one of the programs in the show notes. Body and Soul Freedom is my signature program. You get to work one-on-one with me. So this is your opportunity to do it. Um, I've been desiring moving it into a group program. If you become a part of it, you will still get to connect with others when that element of it expands. But right now, you get to be one-on-one with me. So jump on the opportunity while you can. And if you're not certain, of course, you are always more than welcome to drop on a free call. We can do that, or you can start with the food freedom reset that is linked in the show notes. That is the first step. I would say it's a really good first step. Um, you get a lot in the food freedom reset. I just added more to it, and it's literally only $27. So don't sleep on it because it's a really good deal. Um, all right. I love you guys so much, and I will see you again next week.
