It was as I was trying to write my next booked seminar on the benefits of nutrition that was only two weeks away that I simply couldn't connect and I turned my back on all that I had known and done in the past 19 years. I no longer had the drive or partnership I always and innately felt with food. 

 

My career as a nutritionist had been fuelled by my desire to heal my mom. I was excited to try every new supplement, program, and cure that crossed my path and my mom was the most motivated patient I had ever seen. After every failed attempt and let down she always said

 

 “Lisa, I have one more try in me if you think it will help”. 

 

My enthusiasm and anticipation for results always hooked her and I was ever grateful for her dedicated participation. When she died, I was happy that she no longer would suffer but I didn’t realize that I would feel such a loss in my career from her as much as I did. I certainly did not anticipate the anger or the feeling of lacking purpose. 

 

Sooo what was I going to do now??? I was already actively doing personal coaching and loved it and back in the day my life was in the music industry, perhaps there was a connection to be made. I truly didn’t know. 

 

I was lucky enough to have enrolled my self in a high-end, year long coaching course about 3 months before mom passed so I had faith that the next step in my career would come. And so it did! 

 

I met Michelle Carter, singer, songwriter, and musician, in my course’s master mind group over the phone and she provided me the musical inspiration that formed The Mindset Make-Over. It was a dream and through out the creation of The Mindset Make-Over I did a lot of healing, forgiving, growing and started to reconnect with food again in a respectful loving way. Not enough though to return to my nutrition practice. Dating Your Diet was “on a break” . 

 

The universe has an interesting way of creating circumstance for what you need and soon I found myself dating a chef and really getting right back into nutrition but this time with a twist of making it super tasty and pretty. (Platting was never my strong suit). I loved and appreciated that I wasn't teaching food as a career as I was able to play and have fun. It crossed my mind to bring Dating Your Diet back but I wasn't ready and The Mindset Make-Over was feeling sooo perfect for me and it was starting to be the best time of my entire life!!! 

 

Eventually the chef and I broke up but I kept my love affair with food strong and knew somehow it would come back into my professional career and it would feel right and separate from my past motivation for my mom. 

These past three years I truly believed that Dating Your Diet would be resurrected, it hadn’t had its full opportunity to blossom completely BUT something extremely surprising happened!!!! 

 

I was needing direction in my sales and marketing for The Mindset Make-Over, sooo I hired a coach for a VIP day and it was in that session that Dating Your Diet not only was resurrected  but, a NEW, amazing, aligned and mom inspired program was created!!! 

The Teaspoon Diet was born. 

 

What an entirely different feeling…of life, of excitement, of certainty, and connection when you know you’re doing the right thing. It was as if a switch flipped and this time it wasn't in a temper tantrum rage ha ha, it was in an enlightened, safe, happy, and enthusiastic way. 

 

Moving forward with this unique approach to nutrition and health and having The Mindset Make-Over’s music compliment the process feels like a gift. So it is my gift of sentiment I want to share with you that if you are not feeling aligned, connected and passionate about what you are doing, how you are serving, or building your business, know that there IS a way. There is a gift of your exact desires waiting for you to nurture and grow. 

 

I invite you all to explore what brightens and lifts you just as Dating Your Diet, The Mindset Make-Over and The Teaspoon Diet does for me. 

Thank you for sharing this experience and if I can help you find what lifts you I’d be more than honoured. xo
