Meet Jill.

This is what I consider my "wake up call" moment. Prior to this photo, I was living life by default as a hard charging, corporate executive who wore my fatigue "badge" like a proud girl scout. I competed with everyone around me to win the "Most Exhausted" and "Most Stressed Out" badges. Guess what? My breast cancer diagnosis forced me to change my mindset, upgrade my self-care and begin to live life by design.
|
As you can see from my more current photo, things have shifted significantly for me. I am a vivacious bundle of creative energy. Thanks to my personal self-care and mindfulness practice, I can go farther, do more, and still have plenty of energy left over for the things that matter most to me: putting myself first, making memories with my family and spending quality time with my friends. I am now living life by design!
