A warm welcome to @Lauren B! So glad you found your way in. Quick context if you're new: this is a space for high-performing women dealing with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic changes that crept in under stress — and if you don't have those exact conditions, you're just as welcome, the foundations I teach here apply either way. I shared the fuller version of my own story (chronic pain, fibromyalgia, hypermobility, and how that connects to insulin resistance through inflammation) a few weeks back — worth a scroll if you want the full picture, but I won't repeat it all here. Two quick things, no pressure to write an essay: 1. What brought you here, right now, at this point in your life? 2. If this space could give you one thing over the next few months, what would you want it to be? And to everyone who's been here a while — this is a good moment to say hi and update us with any new things you are grateful of or things that you find challenging. No judgement, just curious where everyone's actually at. One thing that is new: I'm going to be a lot more present here from now on — more of me showing up in posts, more content landing (a video and a gift resource are up already - see pinned posts. More coming as I get into rhythm). Down the line I'll be opening up a way to go deeper with me for anyone who wants more hands-on support — more on that when it's ready. For now, this is just about getting to know each other.
