This episode is moving - a story about resilience after a miscarriage & knowing how to get back on your feet and what to do when society doesn’t talk about it. Lala said - “OK society, I’ll vlog my story then.”

Perspective & finding your way - the themes of this amazing, super fun & super deep episode with Lala Montero - a friend & fellow creator. Key words that come to mind are: mindset, healing, shifting your attitude, resilience, transformation, & listening to your body, in today's episode. With so much outlook, comes challenges that taught Lala HUGE life lessons.

No one pictures that when it is “time” to have babies, that is going to be hard. Why is it so easy for everyone else?
No one pictures losing their job and not knowing what to do. What do I do now?
No one pictures having underlying health issues that cause creating a life to be difficult. I had no idea I was sick?
No one pictures themselves having to face their mental battles AFTER healing their physical body. I don't want to look in the mirror.

I cannot wait for you to hear this amazing episode - P.S. we have a TON of laughs in today’s episode, too! Don’t mind our vinegar water LOL. Life is all about the downs and the ups - and how to navigate. CALL SYD is a call in about a BOYYYYYY who ghosts a few days….Just to let her know he wasn't ghosting. LMK what you think!

Warning: This episode mentions miscarriage (no details are shared) - please be mindful of where you are at in life right now & find this episode at another time if you are not ready!

What happens when a trip changes the trajectory of what you can eat & drink for the rest of your life? Meet Megan Sheley - an incredibly talented recipe builder & creator! She is a MN native (like me) and chats with me about what happened when 2.5 years of an undiagnosed disease took her down and left her with no hope, until turning to a naturopathic doctor that nearly healed her. Why does the US normalize feeling sick??
 
All while being sick, she went from working a 9-5 behind a computer, to taking a leap of faith & diving headfirst into making a passion her full-time work at 28- making recipes & living all over the country in a van. But HOW? How did she get the courage to jump? How did risks become FULFILLING vs. horrifying? Change is growth. 
Job change. Friend change. Lifestyle change = Confidence shifts. 

Megan is the kindest soul & an amazing cook - I AM OBSSED with her recipes.
