From Office to Own Boss: A Journey Through Health and Hustle
From Corporate Life to a Healthier Path
A few years ago, life was all about work. They were a CEO, a military spouse, and a parent, always pushing through. But then, their body sent a clear message: it was time to slow down.
They discovered they had two autoimmune conditions: rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's disease. These conditions made them realize that their health was more important than their job. So, they took a break from work to focus on getting better.
Exploring New Hobbies and Discoveries
During this time, they explored new hobbies like yoga and painting. They also read a book called "Anticancer", which taught them about inflammation and how to live a healthier life. This inspired them to create a drink blend with ingredients like turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon, all of which help reduce inflammation.
Starting a Health Brand
After their break, they started their own health brand called The Healing Habit. They tested the product in their kitchen and worked with a manufacturer to perfect it. Now, they are their own boss, and it's both scary and rewarding.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
They had to save money and plan carefully before starting their own business. They advise others to do the same. They don't regret leaving their corporate job because they've redefined success for themselves. Now, success is about:
- Spending time with family
- Following their passion
- Learning new things
Looking to the Future
They don't plan on going back to corporate work, but they never say never. They believe that with age comes wisdom, and now they're planning for the future they want to create.
