The Whole Blog – had its first moments of life in the front seat of a car. Since that morning in September of 2017, and thanks to a pep talk from my mamma, I some how found the potential of using my own experiences through my health struggles as well as my passion for helping people all through the format of holistic nutrition. Since I first decided to create this space, more and more roadblocks due to health popped up, leading me farther and farther along this path of holistic healing.
The idea of this blog came from my own Google search for holistic blog that gave me a sense of community and relatability… Unfortunately, I couldn’t find something I could relate to. That is not to bash the amazing people who have also committed their lives to the mission of bettering themselves, others, and the environment; I only mean that for me, I couldn’t find a community where I felt I could fit in. So, I made one.
I craved a place of humor, a place to navigate the highs and lows of editing the “norm” of diet culture around us. Stopping, starting; adjusting and re-creating the meals we have grown up with and/or love wasn’t anywhere I had looked. It was then that the light bulb blinked on above my head – they do always say be who you wish you had, right? I was going to make the place that I wanted to have for myself, and I was going to make it for all those out there that wanted it too.
With the platform of this blog, I expect and enjoy the interaction with those of you who follow along with my – and the occasional partner(s) in crime – adventures through both posts and links!
