My Story
Hello — I hope you’re having a fabulous day. This first blog post is all about my story and how I got to where I am today.
Today, I am a health coach. I’m an HR professional. I’m a child of God. I’m also a daughter, a friend, and a girlfriend.
I’m someone who cares deeply about returning to His wisdom and living in alignment with the design we were created for.
Where I’ve Been
Growing up, I played sports and lived what most would call a normal life. I exercised by playing, I ate like the people around me, and I didn’t think much about health. I had no real passion for it. I just lived.
But when I stopped playing softball my senior year of high school, I lost a huge part of my identity. Most of my friends were on my team. The sport filled my weekends, shaped my routines, and gave me a sense of belonging. Without it, I felt unsure of who I was.
Around that same time, I began to face the loss of my mom. She passed when I was young, but I didn’t know the full story until later in my teenage years. I grieved her passing when I went to college. Meeting new friends, introducing myself, saying that I didn’t have a mom — and then answering the inevitable question of how or why — forced me to confront the truth that she had taken her own life. That she had made the choice to leave this world. Her choice impacted how I saw myself and how I trusted others.
In the midst of pain, I tried to take control.
When I turned 18, I went on birth control. Not because I needed to, but because “I could.” I was told it would regulate my period which had always been irregular. So I did it.
Within a few months, I lost weight I didn’t need to lose. My mental health declined. I withdrew from friends. I was in college, battling an eating disorder, feeling isolated and ashamed.
During that same time, I threw myself into the drinking and party culture — trying to fit in, to be liked, to be chosen. I put myself out there in all the wrong ways, looking for connection and affirmation.
Still, there were glimmers of grace. The friendships I made in college were life-giving. They saw me and saved me in ways they may never fully realize.
Eventually, I came off birth control. I wanted to feel like me again. Slowly, I began to heal. I reconnected with people. I started showing up for myself. I was rebuilding.
Then I repeated the same pattern.
Later, when I started dating someone, I decided to try birth control again. I thought maybe it would be different. It wasn’t. Within a month, I was spiraling. I stopped eating. I stopped talking to many of the people I cared about.
Getting Help
Eventually, I got the birth control removed and found a health coach online — her name was also Kate. She changed everything for me. We met weekly. She helped me feel safe in my body again. She helped me take back my life.
I don’t blame birth control entirely for my eating disorder — but I now understand the connection. I thought it was empowering. But deep down, I was choosing it from a place of fear and insecurity. When we don’t feel safe, we grasp for control.
The Power of Coaching and Compassion
Working with Kate helped me see the blind spots I couldn’t see on my own. Having someone to talk to, someone who understood and didn’t judge, changed everything.
Yes, I needed to eat more and take breaks from the gym. But even more than that — I needed support. I needed a voice of truth on the hard days, and someone to celebrate the wins with.
During that season, I started a blog. I felt called to share. But eventually, I realized what I really wanted was to show up for someone else the way Kate showed up for me.
Years have passed. I’ve grown and healed.
I now do everything to support the life I want to live — with energy, joy, love, and presence.
Spiritual Awakening
Then, earlier this year, I got the flu. I could barely walk my dog down the stairs. I had time to think. A lot of time. And in that stillness, I felt a calling in my heart to pray.
So I did.
I thanked God for my breath, for this life. I told Him I didn’t want to live this way anymore — isolated, numb, disconnected.
And I prayed every day.
While walking my dog.
While crying healing tears.
While asking for forgiveness.
While learning to let go of shame and receive grace.
After weeks of prayer, I bought a Bible. I started going to church. And God gave me clarity on what matters most:
I want to have a family.
I want to be a mother.
I want to be well — for them, and for me.
Since then, I’ve only deepened my commitment to my health — not just physically, but spiritually. I want to be fertile, vibrant, and ready to love.
I want to honor my body as a temple, because the Holy Spirit lives within me.
I was created in the image of God.
And I want to glorify Him with my life — and with how I help others come back to their design, too.
