You hear it all the time. Don’t doubt yourself.

That’s exactly where I was. I truly wanted my Wellness Business to Flourish, I truly wanted to help so many many, especially woman of color who doubt themselves and don’t believe that health is actually for them.  When we are young & little we learn nothing about nutrition, especially if you were raised in the 1977 era!

I use to snack heavy, big time, my snacking would consist of candy 🍬 chips, cookies πŸͺ pies πŸ₯§ cake 🍰 which are all sugar filled.  Now I’m not going to tell you how addictive sugar is because I’m pretty sure you already know that and have heard it a million times,  it I am going to tell you how hard it is for your stomach and your overall body to be be able to break those processed foods down😩 So as I continue in my journey I began to snack healthier, I knew that I only wanted sugar and I craved for sugar so bad, I had to think πŸ€” what could give me a satisfying feeling and help my cravings, for me it was fruit πŸ‰ πŸ“πŸ‡πŸŠπŸŒ and as time went on I learned how to incorporate other healthy snacks that would make me happy πŸ˜ƒ  Like Hummus, cheese πŸ§€, homemade baked pita chips, gra...
