How do you handle the lemons that life throws at you? As a mother, I am sure you’ve had many things thrown at you… literally. Let’s say that life throws you an unforeseen circumstance, then how do you handle that?


I put my trust in God. He is the reason I am alive and well. He is the reason that life isn’t all about darkness. When life throws me lemons, I ask God what He wants me to do with them.


 

Now mama, I want you to take the time to really think about that. Take the time to think about these three things:

  1. What lemons have been thrown your way lately? These lemons are good, bad, and ugly. Take the time right now to write them down so they are visual for you when diving into the next steps. Leave a couple spaces between each one.
  2. How did these lemons (or situations) make you feel? Write this below or next to each of the situations. Take the time to think about this one. Sometimes we think we remember how we felt but when we dive into it or sit in the space with those lemons, then we can actually feel those feelings again which helps us remember.
  3. How did you handle these lemons (or situations) being thrown at you? Be specific here. No one else needs to see this list or paper.  (example would be the anger caused you to be a yelling mother and stressed all the time. Or maybe the lemons (situation) made you sad so you handled the sadness by not caring anymore and leaving the house a mess, laying around all day)

This is a great exercise when it comes to handling huge situations but it can also help with the smaller ones as well. This, my friends, is almost like journaling. If you haven’t taken my FREE mini-course in my Facebook Group on Journaling, this is a great place to start.



Giving your lemons away. 


After you have submerged yourself into the situation, feelings, and how you handled them… now is the time to rid yourself of these negative vibrations. How do you do this?

  1. Tell your feelings that they are okay. Say out loud “Anger, you are noticed but you are no longer welcome” Notice how you feel when you say those words. Sometimes we need to say those words a couple times before we feel like the statement is true.
  2. Pray to God (or the Universe—whichever you believe) to take that feeling away from you. Let Him know that it is no longer welcome and you are ready  to let go.
  3. Come up with a positive affirmation that offsets your feelings. Check out my Positive Affirmation Post for some ideas on how to create one. But this affirmation should be something you remember or write down in a location you will see it every day.

Ladies, life is always going to throw you lemons… but just remember that its all about what you do with the lemons that will make or break you.

The sterile scent of hospitals, the hushed, hopeful whispers, and the gnawing fear that lives in every waiting room – these became the unwanted backdrop of my life. It wasn't a single event, but a relentless series of challenges that slowly, profoundly, reshaped my understanding of health and ultimately, my purpose.

It began with my own daughter's cancer diagnosis. The helplessness I felt was amplified a thousandfold. As we navigated her treatment, I scrutinized every aspect of her care, seeking not just survival, but thriving. I began to ask different questions, looking beyond the conventional to see how diet, lifestyle, and a holistic approach could support her body through the immense challenges she faced.

Then, the world tilted on its axis with my beloved father. His terminal cancer diagnosis was a crushing blow, an unyielding reality that traditional medicine, for all its marvels, couldn't alter. We watched, we hoped, we grieved. In the midst of that raw pain, a seed of curiosity took root: Was there more to healing than what we were being told?

My own body then sent a jarring message. I experienced a hemiplegic migraine, an terrifying event that starkly mimicked stroke-like symptoms. The sudden loss of function, the fear, the uncertainty – it was a profound wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own health, which I had unconsciously neglected while caring for others. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I truly understood the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

I realized then that I didn't just want to heal; I wanted to understand why we get sick and how to build true, resilient health from the ground up. I wanted to change the trajectory of my own life, and more importantly, my family's life, away from chronic illness and towards vibrant well-being.

This intense, personal journey ignited an unshakeable passion within me. I devoured knowledge, exploring functional nutrition, mind-body practices, and the profound impact of lifestyle on health. I became an integrative health practitioner because I couldn't keep this newfound understanding to myself. My deepest desire is to guide others through their own health challenges, to empower them with the knowledge and tools to create their own new beginnings, and to help them rewrite their family's health story, just as I've strived to do for my own. It's not just a profession; it's a calling born from love, loss, and a relentless hope for a healthier future for all.
