Rx for Change: Healthy on Purpose
Your health and quality of life should not be dictated by your family history, aging, career, or any one person, other than YOU. Can you relate to the tire and overwhelm of constantly giving 100% in your career, only to be exhausted and cranky when you get home to your spouse and children? Are you struggling to balance being present at your child's school events, giving freely of your time at church, and being involved in community outreach? Is your own health diminishing due to the ever increasing demands of life? Is it difficult to remember the last time you created space for yourself, to do the things that bring you joy? If you can relate to any of the above then you are in the right place! This podcast, will help you discover that each day is a new opportunity to make an intentional change toward achieving your health. It doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, often times, it's just plain messy... and that is ok. Join me each week to take actionable steps toward getting rid of the perfection, embracing self care, and living healthy on purpose!
