Did You Know That Healthy Women Are More Effective Leaders?

Healthy Women Lead...
Yes, That's right! They do.

Health is not about being a certain number on the scale, or looking good in that Chanel suite. Being healthy is a 360 degree experience of feeling and being well mentally, physically and spiritually. Being healthy means living in optimal wellness and having the freedom of living a well balanced life. I started the movement "Healthy Women Lead" because working as a registered nurse for a number of years I have seen people suffering from chronic illness that has limited them from living the life they desire. I have seen the up close devastation of chronic illness while working in the area of oncology. I  have given chemotherapy to women executives, senators, mothers, and business women and have seen how they have had to adjust their life around their illness. Individuals stricken with cancer or any other illness, it's hard for them to function and operate at the highest level possible. How can you really lead to your full potential if you are sick and don't feel well? It can be done, but it's a difficult task. My goal is to help women leaders make their health a priority so they can decrease their risk of chronic illness like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. I am not only sharing from my expertise as a nurse but from personal experience. I remember those days of eating a big burger, fries and washing it down with an ice cold Pepsi. I had to change my mindset around my own health and walk in authenticity to practice what I preach. I know longer make excuses about my diet and I have step forward as being the example. I gave up Pepsi about two years ago and just three months ago I gave up meat. I didn't give these things up because of any illnesses, but I gave them up because I want to be healthy and operate at my highest potential. I am a leader in my industry and I know in order to do this amazing work that God had called me to do I must feel good. I must have optimal energy, and I must be able to think clearly. I'm not saying you should never have meat or things you like sometimes, but I'm saying lets be mindful of what we put in our bodies. I am challenging you to be intentional about your health so you can truly live in optimal wellness.
