Most people think success stories happen by accident.
You know the drill - someone gets lucky, stumbles into the right opportunity, and boom. Life changes overnight. Like winning the lottery but for your health and happiness.
But here's what nobody talks about. Those "overnight" transformations? They're usually years in the making. The person was putting pieces together without even knowing it. Moving toward something they couldn't quite see yet.
Take Justin and Stacey from this week's podcast episodes. Last week, we released Part 1 of their story. Today, in Part 2, we go even deeper. She's in California with purple hair. He's in Arkansas helping people get fit. Neither one planning to change the world together. Then some random company assigns her as his client because of her weight loss goals.
Eight months later they're rolling jujitsu together on their first meeting. Two years after that she's moved her entire family to Texas to live down the street from him. Now they're running a business that helps people break through trauma and transform their bodies at the same time.
The whole thing sounds crazy when you lay it out like that. But here's the thing that gets me excited. Every single step made perfect sense when it was happening. The universe was lining up all these little moments. All these conversations. All these "coincidences" that weren't really coincidences at all.
Your healing journey works the same way. Right now you might feel stuck with your chronic illness. Like nothing's changing fast enough. Like the pieces aren't coming together the way they should.
But what if they actually are? What if your body is already putting things in place that you can't see yet? What if all those small shifts you've been making are about to click into something bigger?
