Hello! I am currently on a journey to find out who I am after suffering from PTSD from serving as a nurse during the COVID pandemic . My life was not only in shambles, but unmanageable. I found myself slipping away into depression and isolation; my fuel sugary caffeinated drinks and compassion. I found myself empty and broken.

Currently, my journey has brought me to a cross-road with two decisions; life or death. I chose life. I choose life. I detoxed my body from all foreign entities and began clean, healthy eating in addition to rigorous exercise. I have shifted my focus to take care of me and fall in love with the person in the mirror. I am hoping to find supportive individuals to not only motivate me, but keep me accountable.

I hope you all find what you are searching for in your journey. Namaste

    fellow nurse here, I totally relate to you. Just remember it will take time and effort but you got this. It is not simply weight loss it is a HEALTH journey. Even as health professionals we must get back to the basics and get ourselves together so that we may care for others.
