I Was Exhausted, Overweight and Lost — How These Health Tips Boosted My Business Success Working toward longevity requires making better choices for yourself, and my journey to healthier living took some twists and turns.

Working on longevity requires making better choices for yourself, and my journey to healthier living took some twists and turns. The lightbulb went off after becoming a parent and rushing through my 30s. The hustle culture suddenly didn't seem so great anymore. It's exhausting to have a jam-packed calendar — both socially and professionally. I can't forget to mention that every joint was creaking, and that extra weight around my middle seemed to be there forever.

I felt this way back in 2022. Now, we're headed into 2025, but you can choose to do better for your own health today. Honestly, I was exhausted, overweight, and a little lost. I worked 24/7, ate junk food, and exercised very little. Eventually, I decided enough was enough. I didn't want to feel this way for decades to come. In addition to becoming a more engaged leader, I wanted to be an active parent. I needed to be there for my family without feeling exhausted or out of breath.
