Starting a Nutrition Business
For a long time I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. To be honest, my mind goes to a million things when I think about purpose. If you don't know, I used to have a health and wellness "business" that was called HisFit. It was a Christ-centered group activity business where I taught a summer exercise group, hosted various events, and visited different organizations teaching fitness.
Then one day, I had an epiphany. Number one, I wanted my business to reach more people and number two I wanted to create space for nutrition within my brand because I had finally become a Registered Dietitian (woop!) with that in mind, I always felt passionate about holistic health. I spent time actually being an RD (one year #millennialproblems) until I decided I wanted to actually pursue this passion completely. I believe my transition into Alive & Well was slow and calculated which is what I wanted to do.
I'm of the belief that if I give 100% to myself, then I'm bound to succeed. So here I am, with Alive & Well, just starting where I am. I may not have it all figured out, but I 'm excited to start. For my HisFit Tribe, thank you for sticking with me and having patience as I figured this journey out. Stay tuned to learn more about the Alive & Well brand and what you can expect from us (read as "me", cause I'm the whole team right now).
