#141 If I Had to Start My Wellness Journey Over… I’d Do THIS First

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m reflecting on my wellness journey and getting real about what has actually worked for me—and what hasn’t. After sharing some feedback from last week’s conversation about juicing versus eating whole foods, I wanted to simplify things and offer a kind of “from scratch” approach. If I had to start my wellness journey all over again, what would I actually do? Not the trendy stuff, not the overwhelming list of supplements—but the true non-negotiables that made the biggest difference for me.I open up about where I’m still struggling—weight, perimenopause, insulin sensitivity, cortisol spikes—and how messy this journey continues to be. I’m not here to wrap it up with a pretty bow. I’m living it in real time, just like so many of you. That’s exactly why I want to make this easier for anyone just starting out, so you can skip the trial-and-error and go straight to what truly matters.I also touch on the importance of limiting phone use and reducing the constant noise we’re exposed to. Whether it’s doom scrolling, news, or even just mindless content, it all impacts our nervous system more than we realize. Learning to step away and create space for quiet, reflection, or real connection has been huge.I emphasize that while supplements and weightlifting have their place in my routine now, they weren’t where I started. These foundational habits came first. And if you’re at the beginning of your journey, that’s where I’d tell you to start too.This episode is really about simplifying wellness, removing the overwhelm, and reminding you that you can do this. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s going to be messy—but that’s exactly where the growth happens.Keep it Messy
