I’m so very excited to start this blog that has been developing in my head for about 2 years.  This is a place where I would like to share a bit about me, my life, my struggles, my successes, my frustrations and basically, my why!  I will warn you, I’m all about transparency, honesty, and being real (as hard and ugly as that is). Real life is messy, its painful, is scary, its stressful and it’s also amazingly beautiful, fulfilling, rewarding, exciting. Speaking of my why… why do I do what I do?… because I love to help people, I love it to a fault. I was put on this earth to help people, organizations and anyone who will let me.  Here’s another disclaimer, if you are looking for a perfectly crafted blog without run on sentences this is not it.  This is me, pretending to be talking to you – completely unscripted and purely from the heart.

In 2016 after I became a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach I was basically going to take over the health and nutrition world. I was going to save multiple lives thru my health practice’s multiple product offerings, fix my daughter’s gluten intolerance all while being a full-time mom to 2 amazing little girls, wife to an amazing man, daughter to some pretty incredible human beings, sister to 2 great siblings and hopefully a great friend to many many human beings on this earth.

Instead, I made a conscious decision to support my husband and his partners in the creation and establishment of his Real Estate Investment company.  He needed me, our family needed me to step up and put my dreams aside once again to do what made sense (that’s what I do, I’m an engineer; I do what makes sense). And next thing you know an entire year had passed. I think if I had actually gone to the doctor they would have diagnosed me with some type of depression. The kind of depression that comes from 5 years of straight grief, from living in 5 houses in 5 years, from unemployment in the pursue of entrepreneurship; the kind of depression and anxiety that comes when you put yourself last all the freaking time. Yes, sorry to break it to you, I’m not perfect! I’m far far from that and that’s why I feel like I have so much to give and share… I’ve been there, I’ve hit rock bottom many times but I keep getting up and refusing to give up on life.

Long story short, I sleeked help from a healer; a sweet amazing woman that in 3 simple sessions helped me finally deal and accept the untimely loss of our baby back in 2012. She reminded me of who I used to be before my heart was shattered into a million pieces. She reminded me of the person I will never be again, and she helped me realize that I am a better and stronger person because of the pain I’ve endured. She also helped me realize that I can have it all if I really put my mind into it. I was able to visualize and dream up the perfect idealistic life/career that would give me the certainty, acknowledgement, drive, passion, and sense of purpose that I’ve always had in my life.  2 months later that life started to materialize in the form of an amazing Project Management consulting gig working for one of my close friends at a great company with an amazing salary, flexible hours and travel. 

In all honestly, I thought this situation was not going to last more than a few months; the pure thought of being away from home every other week was daunting yet exciting. So, I set off on a journey to engineer my life and set up protocols, spreadsheets, best practices and all kinds of things to document all the behind the scene activities that us moms go thru day in and day out to keep the household running seamlessly; the only caveat was that it was my husband’s turn to run the household.  It was his turn to support me in my dreams and aspirations just as I have done in the past for him.

It’s been 15 months and I’m still doing this crazy gig; I’m a permanent employee now and I even have a new boss.  Life is good, we just moved to our new home and things are finally starting to normalize.  And that is why I’m finally taking the time to do something with the content I’ve been creating during endless plane rides over the last 15 months.

I hope you check the blog every once in a while; and above all, I hope that I can bring hope, love, health and kindness to your life!

All my love,

Liza
