Unpacking Body Issues with Melissa

Sharing my mindset shift to love the skin I’m in because it’s HARD AF

My friend Melissa and I start discussing the journey of a decade in wellness industry and how we ruined our mindsets and bodies around how we looked, ate and lived. We are unpacking a lot and it’s not been an easy process to break up with a lot of things we learned and lived. Hopefully our discussion helps you if you feel “broken” like we have in our bodies ❤️

We’ve had a lot of changes lately so just rambling about those as we close out the year here.

Today I sat down with my amazing family doctor and discussed how my HPV completely cleared doing an experimental treatment. I won’t lie, it was scary going against the normal treatment of a LEEP but I knew if this worked, that I could be a voice for other women healing HPV. The LEEP has side effects a lot of doctors don’t discuss and we go into a few of them in this episode. If you’re local to Chattanooga, TN, I see Dr. Hitchcock at Hitchcock MD. You can also find him at @hitchcock.md on IG

Today we talked about who and who not to take relationship advice from. If you have a positive “take away” please tag us on social and let us know, or leave a review.

Quick hello, what we’ve been up to and more.

A conversation with my friend Jenna, on a topic we both never knew we’d have a story to talk on. We both lost a family member to mental health in August of 2021. We had a conversation over details about our stories we’ve never discussed and wanted to share our hearts and raw thoughts to talk about places we think we can do better as a society. We would love your thoughts on this topic, along with your tips and stories to be shared on social media. The more we talk, the more people we can save. We need YOU in this world, you are loved and wanted. You can find Jenna at @jennachoosingjoy

Leaving 6 figures to start over. It’s been the biggest weeks with leaving my company after 9 years to start from the ground up in a place that already feels like home with a fresh perspective, 9 years of experience, my husband on my side and a goal to help so many families get a financial boost. We discuss the why and discuss how excited we are to hit the ground running with our new team in February. With a culture we get to shape as husband and wife. Thanks for all your love and support thus far!

In 2017 we made the decision to pull our kids from our Catholic school and bring them home to homeschool. We had no idea what we were doing but knew we were done with the BS and politics of school. It turned out to be a huge blessing and opened so many doors for us to take charge of our lives and what we could do. We use Seton Catholic for the curriculum and you’ll hear we aren’t traditional with homeschooling because Jordan is in charge whereas it’s usually moms leading the schooling. We do what’s best for our unique family and we encourage you to do the same, always remember you can change your mind at any moment, which is beautiful.

Jordan and I had a more vulnerable chat today. We talked about finances, which I feel is heavy on a lot of hearts. Men carry financial pressures that are sometimes hidden behind the tough guy facade. We’ve gotten our butts handed to us in the stock market lately so we talked about how it feels to lose, but also how we’re getting back up and how we went back to the drawing board. I hope this hits a cord and helps one of you today.
