The Unexpected Gift: One Year Sober, 80 Pounds Lighter, and I feel Amazing!

When I reflect on the journey that truly sparked Full Circle, it often boils down to a pivotal decision: choosing a different, sober life. It wasn't a path I ever anticipated, but looking back now, one year sober and over 80 pounds lighter, I can honestly say: I feel freaking amazing.

This wasn't about deprivation; it was about liberation. Stepping away from alcohol opened up a clarity I didn't even realize I was missing. It allowed me to truly tune into my body's signals, to understand the subtle shifts of perimenopause, to finally address the chaos of undiagnosed ADHD, and to heal from the profound exhaustion of career burnout. Without the veil of alcohol, my senses sharpened, my energy returned, and my capacity for self-care deepened in ways I never thought possible.

That radical shift created space for everything else. It made giving up refined sugar, gluten, and dairy not just possible, but genuinely desirable because I could feel the difference it made. It fueled my recovery from a ruptured Achilles, making physical healing feel like a true partnership with my body. And it was in this newfound clarity that the urgent need for Full Circle: Beauty - Wellness - Nourishment became undeniable.

This journey taught me that true radiance isn't just about what you put on your skin; it's about what you put into your body, what you release from your life, and how you nourish your spirit. My transformation isn't just a personal victory; it's the living proof behind Full Circle's mission: to empower you to find your own path to feeling absolutely amazing, embracing every cycle, and living your fullest, most vibrant life.

Here's to feeling truly amazing, inside and out.
