Have you ever tried to make a big change, but then struggled without guidance or support? That was Dawn’s case, a past client of mine. In this episode, I’m sharing with you her story. 

Dawn works full-time as a nurse and has a family of five. Talk about being busy! She first tried taking some steps towards plant-based eating with a vegan kickstart challenge at work, but she stopped soon after because she didn't know how to balance her meals and often felt hungry and weak. 

Dawn's main challenges were that she didn't know how to eat plant-based in a way that would really energize and nourish her body. She was also struggling to stay vegan because the rest of her family was eating meat. But she had a strong desire to get healthier for her own sake, and that of her family, especially since she has high blood pressure and a strong family history of heart disease.

Her mother actually had a hemorrhagic stroke at 69 years of age while her dad had a heart attack a few weeks after that, and Dawn became the main caregiver for them. Dawn didn't want to suffer the same diseases her parents had. She wanted to stay healthy so she can be there for her kids. 

Then a year later, she met me and we began working together. Through coaching, she began to experience more energy, and felt healthier and stronger in her body. She felt more emotionally happy and is now able to stay confidently plant-powered, even as her family continues a regular diet. 

Find out how making a lifestyle change FIRST has personally impacted her health and happiness but also created positive waves of change for her family members. We’ll also see just much easier and more enjoyable plant-based eating can get with the RIGHT support and guidance!
