Are Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back?

I sold my 2020 Subaru Ascent a week ago. She was pearly white and brand spanking new the day we bought her. She was actually our first purchase from my entrepreneurial endeavors - she signified my grit and our beautiful growing family.
You see, up until Fall 2019 we lived in a bubble of watching others chase their dreams while we watched and said, “wouldn’t that be nice?” We lived paycheck to paycheck, stuck in our own limiting beliefs.
I was already well on my way to becoming proficient in the world of applied functional nutrition - that in and of itself showed tremendous growth as I outgrew the shell of zero confidence that I had been stuck in for my entire life. That little bit of confidence that began to grow from tackling that side of things gave me enough of a boost to start home baking. My goal was to just take the edge off with our finances, but to my surprise, my first month was already more profitable than I had anticipated.
I decided to give it a few months to see if I could keep up with demand, but I knew we needed a new car. I had a suspicion that baby number 3 would be joining us (I was right, I was super early pregnant) and we needed a third row vehicle to accommodate. Month after month, God provided and my little side hustle continued to do well. So, we purchased our first brand new car, paid her off within the year, and enjoyed our family “whip” lol.
Between myself and that car was a valley of limiting beliefs that told me there was no “better than this”. And if you’re facing that valley right now, I want to encourage you to challenge it. Why can’t you have better, feel better, do better? Why wouldn’t God move powerfully and miraculously for you as He has for others? Why do we feel guilt for wanting to invest in our health, or really anything that’s for us (the mom’s that get it, get it).
Look, maybe you’re reading this thinking, “easy for her to say, she was able to get brain fog under control so she could at least think”.... Sure, I took the super duper long version of figuring it out on my own to get to a point where I could function, and that’s exactly why I offer 1:1 coaching. What took me years might just take you 6 months to a year with a mapped out plan.
And if you’re thinking that nothing has ever worked for you before, so how could my program be any different? Because we test, we don’t guess - meaning we go into your plan with REAL time data on your body so we know what your body actually needs. We also make adjustments on a weekly basis! I so wish I had help like this when I first started my journey!
I’ve been taking thoughts captive and relinquishing my limiting beliefs since 2019 - and I’ve only been growing. We sold the Subaru because we needed a bigger vehicle for our still growing family….but more on that later.
I hope you jump into Fall 2023 with an attitude of surrender - surrender your doubts, girlfriend! And see where you go. I can’t wait to see you crush it!
