I spent years running from my authentic self in pursuit of someone else’s ideal.
After my dance teacher suggested I start dieting at 15, I spiraled into over a decade of eating disorders, overexercising, and self-deprivation — all in the name of perfection. I earned my MBA, climbed the corporate ladder, and looked successful on the outside… but inside, I felt unfulfilled, exhausted, and unworthy.
Then came infertility. After years of trying, I finally had my beautiful son Kai — but I was so depleted I could barely enjoy being present with him. I was sick, tired, and barely hanging on.
Eventually, my body said, “Enough.”
After seeing multiple doctors and healers, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s — an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid. It was a relief to have a name for what I was feeling, but I was told I had to change everything about my life.
I felt overwhelmed and lost… but deep down, my intuition told me there were answers.
And for the first time in a long time, I listened.
I became a seeker. I devoured books, podcasts, and trainings. I tried every supplement, biohacking gadget, and healing modality I could find.
