When I was at that rock bottom place, I didn’t know where things were headed. I just anchored in knowing that I had to keep going. The complexities of life have opened my eyes in ways I could’ve never imagined, and with my love for fitness guiding the way and keeping me alive.

Although the hardships have been tougher than I can put into words, there’s more growth that comes from real life experience than people realize.

We complain about hardships rather than seeing them as necessary steps to grow and succeed. Looking back on it all, I feel so blessed and grateful to be where I am now and it couldn’t have happened if I didn’t go through those tough times.

This is so inspirational to hear. It’s easy to let the weight of our burdens keep us down. To allow them to be an excuse to never heal or grow. I know the pain of having to rip open the wounds so that growth from underneath can surface. I think everyone in some way can relate to that.

Thank you for sharing this here and for being an encouragement that strength can be found when you don’t think it’s possible

Hey Friend, Thank you for such beautiful words, I am sorry that you hit rock bottom but I guess when you finally get there you only then have one way to go and you certainly went there and you kept climbing and the fact that you can now look at what you have achieved and be proud and share that is just wonderful and a joyful lesson for others. Thank you again. Lisa. x
