IT’S TIME FOR A SHIFT IN MINDSET

WELCOME TO WICKED WELLNESS Introduction

The concept of ‘wellness’ or ‘being well’ in the modern world is a bit more complex than it was 20 years ago because today, we have the burden of knowledge. Wellness today is both multidimensional and multifaceted. It encompasses physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual health. The pursuit of this is what I call Wicked Wellness and I think we call all agree that achieving such a state of being is more than a challenge—it’s a lifelong mission.

WE ALL HAVE A BASIC BURNING DESIRE TO BE WELL.

You see, up until today, we’ve given so much to others...and we’re not complaining about it because we really, really wanted to. We wanted the great careers, boyfriends, husbands, families, kids, you name it. We just poured ourselves into those things and loved every second. But, guess what? We’ve had to put so much of ourselves and our wellness on the back burner. And in the process of doing, so we’ve lost our way. Time has mysteriously flown by. Complacency has crept in and the thought of getting back on track with our personal health and wellness has become overwhelming.

Where do I start? How do I get there? What do I want to achieve?

If you feel like you’ve given up and you’re sitting here saying “Hey, you are preaching to the choir!”, you’re in the right place. I’ve been there myself and often wonder how ended up here? Where did all this time go?

For years, I’ve lived, breathed and talked health — getting healthy, staying healthy and leveraging the power of tech to live our best lives. I’ve worked and continue to work with countless industry leaders, innovators and insiders, helping shine a light on cuttingedge technology solutions in the medical, health and wellness fields. I’ve always been a pro at talking the talk because, hands down, if there’s one thing I knew (and know), it’s the digital health landscape.

I saw the progress. I saw the power. I saw the results. But, when it came to my own life and truly walking that walk…I just sat.

#Truth

And then one day I couldn’t sit anymore. I realized that I had a unique opportunity to leverage my knowledge, passion and purpose to help others excel. But, at the same time, I realized the first person I needed to help was ME. And in that realization the journey to make my own personal wellness a priority began.

It is through this journey (that I’m still rockin’ and rollin’ on) that Wicked Awesome You (WAY) was born. A place to share, through cutting-edge content what I’m seeing, experiencing and loving on the wellness front alongside a commitment to building a community of health-focused women to help each other out along the way.

I hope that you’ll find the inspiration you need to supercharge your journey. Wicked Wellness is the first eBook offering from Wicked Awesome You. Think of it as a blueprint for building a better system to get you to the best, healthiest, happiest years of your life. It’s the next right step to help you cross the finish line...and keep going.

IT’S TIME FOR A SHIFT IN MINDSET

Wicked Awesome You believes that it’s in our essence to always be looking for ways to improve the things in our lives. It’s just our human nature. Because of that, for most individuals, achieving one thing and then getting the reward just isn’t enough. We still have the next goal to accomplish, the next mountain to climb, the next behavior to shift. This constant “trying to better ourselves” is never-ending. And that’s OK. Changing our behaviors is not a one-time thing. It is a constant building of rituals and routines that supports us in our “striving for more.”

TELL ‘EM THAT IT’S HUMAN NATURE

We know this constant quest for improvement is just part of being human.
