How Their Health Struggles Became Their Mission w/ Hunter Stoler & Jasyra Santiago-Hines

I loved having two of my internet friends here in Utah to record this episode! Hunter and Jasyra's stories reminded me so much of how I got started on Instagram. None of us set out to become "health influencers." We each just wanted to share what had helped us on our own health journeys. They both started out struggling with their own health, and they used those struggles as the push to learn, make changes, and share what they found with all of us. This episode is a good reminder that everyone starts in a different place., what matters is that you start. I loved this conversation and learned so much more about both of them than I knew before. I know you'll walk away feeling encouraged instead of overwhelmed.

Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation:

Your health struggles can become your motivation. Hunter and Jasyra each share the personal health stories that started their journeys, and how those hard seasons turned into the reason they now help others live healthier.

Everyone starts in a different spot, and that's okay. There's no perfect starting line. Wherever you are right now is a good place to begin, and comparing your journey to someone else's only gets in the way.

Small swaps at home add up. We talk about the simple changes they've each made at home that ended up making a bigger difference than they expected. It's proof that you don't have to overhaul everything at once.

How to decide who to listen to when the health world gets loud. With so much conflicting information online, Hunter and Jasyra share how they sort through the noise and decide which voices they trust.

What to stop stressing about. They share the one thing they wish their followers would stop worrying about, plus what they're most excited about in the health world right now.

Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it.
