Yes.

Yes.

I was making great money. And I just remember, like, when... Things really kind of turned on where, you know, I would go to my fittings and maybe the tech designer was like, oh, I'm feeling really tired. And I'm like, well, what is the first thing? Like, well, how do you go to bed? And what is the first thing you do when you wake up? And then it was like I was coaching.

I started coaching, but I loved it. And then it was like, so when you're unhappy in a situation or if you don't love your job right now, bring a little joy to the job. You got to dig a little deep. And when I started doing that, wow. First of all, the lights go on. And I was like, I am so, I love helping people. And it was just like a little thing.

I'm like, well, take magnesium, turn the lights down, put your phone away. And it's like nothing's changed. I'm still sharing all of these things. But then I started working. So I went to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition online, the online course, and And that for me was like, I didn't even want to do it because I hated school. And I was like, oh, God, you have to take tests.

And they're like, it's open book test. And I'm still was like, oh, my God, just the idea of taking a test gives me severe anxiety. But I was like, you know what? I'm going to challenge myself. And I remember Noah saying, let me get it for you. Let me pay for the course. And I said, no. Thank you. But I have to do it for myself. If I let you pay, I'm just going to be like, oh, whatever.

I knew that. So I was like, I have to earn this.

I needed to invest. So doing that and then I started coaching people for free. I would meet them in coffee shops. And then I pitched myself to this integrative doctor. He'd never worked with health coaches before. He hired me. I was the first health coach he ever hired. Dr. Morrison, big shout out to you. Thanks for believing in me. And now they have health coaches in their practice.

But it was like listening to that, like the focus for me really helped me understand that like, okay, I couldn't leave my job because I was making great money. But on the evening, maybe like a couple evenings a week, I dedicated a little time. And then the evenings became weekends. And then the weekend became, and then I had people who wanted to pay me. And then I was getting all these offers.

And that was really it. That was when I was like, I think I can literally do this.

And I started coaching full time. And I loved it. But I knew there was something missing. And I'm in that place right now. And it's so fun.
