In this episode of Nip It in the Gut Sara is speaking with Ashley Hafer, a nurse, mom, daughter, athlete and travel warrior! After receiving a shock diagnosis at 45, she faced having to manage debilitating fatigue, achiness, GI symptoms and trips to the ER for difficulty breathing and chest pains. These flare ups were not only very painful, they interfered with her active life. So, Ashley made a decision to get to the root cause of her symptoms... and her transformation is phenomenal. I hope you’re as inspired as I am by Ashley’s commitment to not only heal her body but to keep her body healthy.

Today I’m having a conversation with my friend Theresa Garvin, who is a LICSW, a transformational coach, and the owner and founder of The Life You Imagine. Theresa has been providing psychotherapy services to children, teens, adults, and families for over 35 years. After seeing the positive and rapid changes in her own life from transformational coaching, she became certified as a Life Mastery Consultant in 2020, and has been providing coaching to adults since then.

After sharing with one another that we both have ADHD, Theresa recommended that I read the book A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD by Sari Solden MS, who pioneered working with women and ADHD , and Michelle Frank, PsyD. Not only is this book a comprehensive guide for women with ADHD to increase their understanding and self-acceptance but Solden and Frank also take the reader through an action plan for women with ADHD to identify and pursue their dreams. This book affirmed for both Theresa and me why we love our work as coaches. Although Theresa helps adults and families decide what they want to transform in four main areas of their life, while I help people to create and take action on a vision for their health, we both provide principles, practices, support, and guidance for our clients to create powerful results in their lives which they absolutely love!

In this week's episode, we welcome the inspiring Lauren Lemieux, a certified whole life coach whose story is all about transformation, courage, and the relentless pursuit of a fulfilled life. After a twenty-year tenure in the family business, she made the brave decision to leave, embarking on a new journey that many labeled a 'midlife crisis.' Today, she sees it differently, calling it her moment of harnessing midlife confidence.

Lauren has made it her mission to guide others who feel stuck and frustrated, professionally or personally, to create the life they love instead of simply tolerating the one they have. Her approach goes beyond simple career counseling, focusing on holistic changes that impact every aspect of a person's wellbeing.

In our deep-dive conversation, we'll explore how this life-altering decision has affected not only her career but also her health. How did it impact her relationship with her body? Did her dietary choices and lifestyle habits change with this transition? How has her perspective on health and wellness evolved?

From her home in Kushner, Massachusetts, Lauren shares her passion for nature walks, podcasts, cribbage, sports, and most importantly, the importance of gut health in achieving holistic wellness. She serves as a reminder that we should not only fuel our bodies with nutritious food but also nourish our souls with purpose and happiness.

Join us as we uncover the intersection of career changes, life satisfaction, and health, and discover how tuning into our gut instincts can guide us to lead a balanced and fulfilling life. It's an episode
