What is your occupation? Business Analyst in the Trucking Division at Great American
Insurance

What have you learned through nutrition coaching? This is going to sound super cliche, but the
journey matters just as much as the destination. It’s like going on a road trip, the point of the
road trip is to get to the destination, but the journey along the way is just as important if not
more important that actually reaching the destination.
What is the biggest thing you’ve changed that has most led to your success? That I need to get
out of my own way and I am stronger than I think I am.
What advice do you have for someone considering nutrition coaching? I never really thought
about nutrition as being a holistic thing, I was more focused on counting calories/marcos but
wasn’t making progress because I wasn’t working on the whole picture (e.g. the emotional part
that was leading to the binge eating). Having your coach in your corner, and knowing they’re
there for you, is an invaluable addition to your toolbelt. And in addition to putting in the work,
make sure you’re being honest with yourself, it’s not an easy process but it is so worth it!
