In this episode, I’m sharing a pep talk from the messy middle of my Metabolic Balance healing journey. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen my journey with food and healing my body in a way that has felt, not entirely impossible but close for the last several years. While I’ve seen tremendous healing and changes through this work, I’m now at a place where some things are getting worse before they can get better. It’s frustrating, to say the least, but I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to persist in the face of obstacles that make what I want seem impossible. So if you’re in your own messy middle where things seem to be getting more challenging than they are better, this is a love note for you.

Things had to come more undone, and there were things that I had to actively, consciously choose to break further, to break all the way through, so that they could really, truly begin to mend the way that they were meant to.“
