What Starting Over Taught Me About Mindset (and Why I Created the WholeLYFE Blueprint)

Just two months ago, I officially left my corporate job after more than 20 years. It was a role I knew inside and out—steady, familiar, predictable. And while I’d been quietly building my health coaching business behind the scenes, stepping away from the structure and security of corporate life was a whole different story.

Now, every day feels like a learning curve. No handbook. No onboarding. No IT team to fix things when they break. Just me, a deep sense of purpose… and a lot of Googling. 😅

The truth? It’s been exciting—and also incredibly humbling.

I’ve gone from leading conference calls and running large-scale events to learning how to build landing pages, automate emails, and schedule Instagram Stories (who knew that was a thing?).

And I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t tested me. There have been days when I’ve felt totally overwhelmed. Moments where I’ve doubted myself. Times I’ve asked, “Who am I to do this?”

But there’s something else I’ve learned along the way—something I now believe with every part of me:

The key to lasting change isn’t just knowledge. It’s your mindset.

When everything is new and uncomfortable and you’re not sure what you’re doing… your mindset is what keeps you from quitting. Passion alone isn't enough. It’s your mindset that helps you speak to yourself with compassion instead of criticism. It’s what reminds you that progress comes from taking the next step and not worrying about if it's perfect.

Mindset Needs Support

One of the best decisions I made was hiring a coach (shoutout to my amazing mentors and coaches through the Product Launch Formula community).

Having someone in my corner—a guide, a sounding board, a cheerleader—has made all the difference. Not because they gave me all the answers, but because they helped me stay focused, grounded, and moving forward even when it felt hard.

And that’s when it hit me: This is exactly what people need when they’re trying to change their health, too.

When you’re trying to lower your blood sugar…When you’ve just been told you have prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes…When everything feels urgent, confusing, and overwhelming…

You don’t just need information. You need a place to start. You need simple steps. You need encouragement. And you need someone who sees you, not just your diagnosis.

Why I Created the WholeLYFE Blueprint

That’s why I created the WholeLYFE Blueprint—a free guide that introduces the six lifestyle levers that have the power to reverse insulin resistance and help you take back control of your health.

It’s not a program. It’s not a prescription. It’s a place to begin.

You’ll learn:

• Why your mindset is the foundation of change

• How to eat, hydrate, move, rest, and reset with small, doable steps

• How to identify your personal “why” and build on what’s already working

If you’re ready to take a first step—but you’re not sure where to begin—this Blueprint was made for you. Because getting started doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
