The Reason Behind How I Look After Myself
Through much of my childhood, I was the caregiver for someone battling cancer and addiction. That experience shaped how I approach my health in every way.
For much of my childhood and early adulthood, I cared for someone who was battling cancer and addiction. I believe that's where my love of healthy eating and my long list of wellness habits came from.
Living alongside someone very sick keeps reminding you how fortunate you are to be well. Because I cared for her, I've never taken my own health for granted.
Each day I'm free to move, dance and enjoy my life without pain, and it feels like a blessing.
That's why I've built up a long list of "almond mom"-style habits, and I think everyone should try to practice them as often as they can!
