Something I don't talk about very often

Hi Reader, There’s something I’ve been thinking about lately — and I’ve never really shared it in detail before. About eight years ago, I had a moment that completely changed how I looked at my health. I hit my head on a beam in our basement one night (we have a crawl space, which explains the beam 😅). I didn’t think much of it at the time. But the next morning, I woke up and could barely see out of my left eye. Long story short… my blood pressure was dangerously high. So high that a blood vessel in my eye had ruptured. The doctors weren’t sure if it was the hit on my head, the blood pressure, or the combination — but either way, I was suddenly facing the very real possibility of losing my vision. I ended up needing injections in my eye. Actual needles. For over a year. It was terrifying. And it was a wake-up call I never saw coming. Around that same time, I also learned my cholesterol was high. I was overwhelmed. Scared. And honestly… frustrated with myself for not paying closer attention sooner. But instead of panicking, I made a decision. I was going to take my health seriously — not in a restrictive way — but in a supportive, sustainable way. Little by little, things started to change. That experience is a big part of why I do what I do today. Not from fear. More soon 💜 |

Hi Reader, When I went through my health scare years ago, I learned something important. No one wakes up and chooses to be unhealthy. It happens slowly. Stress.Busy seasons.Putting yourself last. Until your body gets louder. That experience taught me that prevention is powerful. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping women understand their bodies — especially in midlife. Not to create fear.To create freedom. Always cheering you on 💜Leslie
HI Reader, For a long time, I thought eating “well” meant following rules. Don’t eat this.Limit that.Try harder tomorrow. It felt like a constant mental negotiation. What changed everything was when I stopped guessing and started learning what actually worked for my body. My meals made sense.My portions felt right.My energy stabilized. I wasn’t standing in the kitchen wondering what I “should” do anymore. I just knew. And that kind of clarity is incredibly freeing. Less guilt.Less...
Hi Reader, Can we talk about something that quietly messes with so many of us? Comparison. “She lost weight faster than me.”“She has more energy than I do.”“She makes it look so easy.” When you don’t have clarity about what your body actually needs, it’s easy to assume you’re doing something wrong. That maybe you’re broken.Or undisciplined.Or “just bad at this.” But here’s the truth: Most women aren’t failing. They’re guessing. They’re trying to make generic advice fit a very specific body...
