Reintroduction / Why Genesis Wellness

When tragedy strikes, we have to give ourselves room to breathe, and part of that for me was giving up podcasting & teaching. After a lot of healing, personal growth, and just TIME, I’m ready to do this again. Join me today as I share what the past three years looked like for me, and where I see Genesis Wellness going in the future.

The name Genesis Wellness took root several years ago, when I was big in the holistic living and essential oil world. (I still very much believe in those things, and use them daily, but at this time in my life, I am not concentrating on that as a business option.) I taught about living a holistic life, and what that looked like, getting "back to the beginning" and simplifying our medicine cabinets, pantry, and lives.

As life changed drastically for me, and my world pivoted, Genesis pivoted with me. The name and the basic idea stayed, but the focus shifted to the metal and spiritual health side of the holistic triangle, rather than mostly being on the physical side.

From my last podcast in 2020 until I launched this episode in 2023, I had the unfortunate privilege of witchingly entire life crumble, and then get to build back again. It was a hard battle, and every brick I built back was intentional. I got to choose what went back into my life, and what I wanted to leave behind me in my past, where it belongs buried.

I was challenged quite early in the grieving process of my divorce to not be a "bitter divorce." At this time, that offended me. How was I to be anything but bitter? How could I get past this? If people would tell me the pain goes away, or you get used to it, I would become furious. HOW was this ok? This was NOT my new normal. I refused to settle for it. At the time, I thought I could change his mind, or somehow skirt the pain I knew was coming. But, little did I know that the pain I would go through would build me back stronger... and I chose to be BETTER, not bitter.

Sure, I still struggle,. I still get lonely, and overwhelmed. I still live with the consequences of someone else's actions on a daily basis, but I walk in forgiveness, and I extend the grace and love of Jesus to him and to myself. I can not pretend to be perfect, and I wouldn't want to be. But, even in my failings, Christ is glorified. Not I, but Christ who lives in me.

It is because of this life of mental and spiritual growth and freedom I discovered on my own journey of healing that I became a coach. I experienced so much more love and empathy for those around who were hurting. I started to better understand what people were going through, and why people act the way they do. I stopped seeking answers to things that simply can't be answered, and moved on with my life.

My desire and calling is to help others find this same hope and peace I have found. I did the hard work of getting all my board certifications, and designations so that I could officially launch Genesis Wellness, LLC. I sincerely hope you find hope and inspiration in my work and in my story.
