About Living Fearless
"Learning to take back your power and let courage lead your lifestyle..."
THE LIVING FEARLESS PHILOSOPHY
Welcome! I believe in Seasons of Success (more about that later) and taking back control of our lives when they just simply seem to be going off the rails regarding our mental and physical health and wellbeing. I don't always believe in the norm and often reach outside conventional strategies and beliefs to find what works best for me and my clients without the usual traditional constraints that say, "this is what you should do," or "this is the only thing that will work." It is quite simply being open minded and giving something new a shot, especially when it can be backed up by a whole lot of science.

As a woman diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I have seen my share of struggles, but I've also seen my share of triumphs including being able to completely reverse my type 2 diabetes and its effects on my health and body. I had struggled with obesity and blood sugar issues for decades and in 2023, it reached critical levels. In September of that year, a friend (Thank you, Annette Logan-Parker!) suggested I read "The Diabetes Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, which jump started the research and experimentation quest that eventually resulted in the birth of the Living Fearless lifestyle and it changed my life forever.
Living Fearless is a little unconventional and does not always follow or agree with mainstream medical, but it works. I am living proof of that. But please rest assured. It's more than just my story. As I indicated in the Philosophy section, there is a whole lot of science to back up the principles that support Living Fearless.
Let me take you on your own Living Fearless journey and help you learn to take back your power. Type 2 diabetes and/or being chronically overweight does not have to control your lifestyle. When you let courage lead, you can take back your power.
Are there going to be challenges and good days and bad days? I think you already know the answers to those questions. But remember...
"Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy."
---Indira Gandhi---
Let's work together to see what success can look like for you with Living Fearless!

THE LIVING FEARLESS STORY
Living Fearless: A Chubby Chick's Adventures with Type 2 Diabetes
Part 1
Here’s a tidbit about how my Living Fearless journey began. Living Fearless was born from my story. I had no idea that my journey would lead to a new journey focused on helping others that would eventually become Living Fearless, but here we are.
In May of 2023, my A1c was 6.6. In August 2023, it had risen to 7.1. And we won’t get into my roller coaster with my weight just yet.
In September 2023, it was obvious that what I was doing was not working as my A1c was not going down, I had GAINED another 2 pounds, and I was literally sick and tired due to the fallout from the diabetes medications. Though I really didn’t understand how much my life was going to change, in that September of 2023, it was the beginning of my journey, the journey that would become Living Fearless and it would forever change my life.
By December 2023, my A1c was was down to 6.1 and my weight was declining at a notable pace. In February 2024, my A1c was and is holding steady at 5.4, which is great for a woman my age. I have lost 65 pounds and continue to lose, even now.
While losing weight was honestly not my intention when I began this journey, my blood sugar was my target, I have learned that weight and blood sugar have a complicated relationship and they are forever dependent upon and related to each other.
Thanks for sharing this tidbit of my Living Fearless journey. There is so much more to come. Make it a great day! #livingfearlesslife #wellnesswarriorlife
