To the Woman Who is Committed to BRAVERY on Your Healing Journey with Autoimmune Disease:
DISCOVER THE BEST WAY TO BUILD STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE AFTER HEALTH CHALLENGES SHATTER YOUR WORLD!
IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE OR CHRONIC ILLNESS, THEN YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THAT THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
AND THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT!
Chances are, you are wishing for your old life back.
And that's why you're here. You are not alone.
If you are done with the struggles, fear, and overwhelm that Autoimmune Disease amplifies...
Then it's time to ELIMINATE THE BLOCKS to TRUE HEALING AND SELF WORTH and UNLEASH your INNER FORTITUDE AND RESILIENCE.
Having an Autoimmune Disease or chronic illness REALLY SUCKS. Like... I don't want to get out of bed today kinda sucks. Scratch that. I CAN'T get out of bed today kinda sucks.
Especially if you used to be a superstar in your former life, right?!?
You feel like you will never be whole again. Or healthy again.
Or worse yet... mourning the loss of YOU... thinking you won't be able to accomplish everything you need to on any given day... let alone in LIFE!
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION...
If you have an Autoimmune Disease or chronic illness and are struggling...
... which of these apply to you?
✔ You have challenges (health or otherwise) that hinder experiencing life to the fullest extent.
✔ You wake up and don't want to get out of bed because you feel empty and depleted.
✔ You feel angry because you have to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone have fun without you.
✔ You just feel... DEFLATED AND DEFEATED.
Chances are... you are already asking yourself... "How long can I keep this up, right?"
If you are like me, you put your entire life on hold and you start telling yourself I can start living my REAL LIFE... once I get healthy again.
If you are reading this, I can only imagine you are asking yourself the same question...
...AND YOU WANT MORE...
✔ You want to enjoy life in a way that is DESIGNED AROUND YOUR STRENGTHS instead of your limitations.
✔ You want to be fully present to enjoy these special moments with your loved ones.
✔ You want to enjoy each day in a way that FILLS YOUR CUP.
The thing is... most people are missing something.
SO HOLLY, WHAT'S THE SECRET???
The secret is GRATITUDE.
That's it!
But I'm NOT talking about a daily list of 3 things you are grateful for (although that's always helpful).
I'm talking about the power of life-altering... complete transformation... life-changing... mind-blowing... overflowing heart full of ... GRATITUDE.
GRATITUDE IS THE BEST WAY TO BUILD FORTITUDE AFTER HEALTH CHALLENGES SHATTER YOUR WORLD!
Gratitude is scientifically proven* to be the best way to help you:
✔ Open the door to more RELATIONSHIPS.
✔ Improve PHYSICAL HEALTH.
✔ Improve psychological health.
✔ Enhance EMPATHY and reduce aggression.
✔ SLEEP BETTER.
✔ Improve self-esteem.
✔ Increase MENTAL STRENGTH - this is what I call FORTITUDE!

THE #1 MISTAKE THAT MOST PEOPLE WITH HEALTH ISSUES MAKE:
They focus on the external healing process... things like changing their diet and nutrition, or removing toxins from their homes. Which you SHOULD DO and they are extremely important! But if you are ONLY doing this, you could be setting yourself up for disappointment after disappointment.
Or worse! Mistake #2...
When diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease or chronic illness, your identity and belief system changes to fit the label of your condition. You are viewing the world through the lens of being sick, resulting in feelings of sadness, resentment, and even jealousy or anger.
How are you supposed to get anywhere in life when you've given your power away?
IT'S TIME TO STOP APOLOGIZING FOR YOUR CONDITION.
You are NOT a failure at life.
You do NOT have to keep faking well.
You are NOT lazy and unproductive.
YOU CAN TURN THIS AROUND.
You have control of every single thing you do. Every single day.
Viewing yourself as your illness doesn't work! Because the reality is that you are more than your diagnosis. And that's a good thing!
What if... instead of focusing on your illness, you could find your way back to being that woman you were before you got sick? You remember her, right? That woman who used to feel invincible?
You have the opportunity to take ownership of your health and change your relationship with Autoimmune Disease TODAY.
AND I GET IT!
I know you are probably thinking...
Holly... I've done the mindset thing before and it didn't work.
It's overwhelming.
I don't have the time or bandwidth.
I lose focus.
Well... YOU. ARE. RIGHT!
Most women struggling with chronic illness make the mistake of thinking mindset isn't important, BUT without it, it's more difficult to make progress on your healing journey.
And if you've tried to do this in the past and have struggled, you were probably making the most common mistake without realizing it.
The reality is... when you LEARN and MASTER the power of gratitude, AND how gratitude builds resilience and fortitude, your entire worldview changes!
And that's where the magic happens.
SO HOW DO YOU BEGIN BUILDING FORTITUDE WITH GRATITUDE?
Answer:
ONE. MOMENT. AT. A. TIME.
The good news is that practicing gratitude is easy and it's free and you can start doing this right now.
But in my experience, most people struggle when they try to do it on their own. Here's what I've seen happen...
When the uncertainty and struggles of life creep in...
✅ You feel like it's one more thing you HAVE to do and you don't have the bandwidth.
✅ You FORCE YOURSELF to be grateful before you are ready and that turns into resentment.
✅ Even though you say you are grateful, you don't FEEL grateful.
✅ And since our brains are wired to focus on the negative instead of the positive...
...the consistency of a gratitude practice quickly comes to an end.
What if... you had a GROUP of mindfulness coaches to be there for you every step of the way?
Imagine just for a moment...
... that you could eliminate the blocks to true healing and self-worth.
... that you could rediscover your passion for family, food, and fun... AND LIFE!
Wouldn't that be nice?
Well, you don't have to imagine anymore. Because... it's here.
