Have You Had Enough?

Have You Had Enough?

Have you had enough? Really—have you?

Have you had enough of waking up tired, drained, and moody? Have you had enough of forcing yourself through the day with no energy? Have you had enough of taking medication after medication, hoping for a change, but never seeing results?

Because here’s the truth: until you’ve had enough, you’ll never believe that you are enough.

My Awakening 2013, I sat in a doctor’s office and heard words that shook me to my core: "You’re prediabetic."

I was devastated—but I couldn’t deny the truth. My diet was a mess. I ate everything I shouldn’t have eaten. I didn’t exercise. I lived on stress and junk food. And as a result, my weight climbed, my energy plummeted, and I found myself heading down the same road that claimed the life of a relative I loved.

That day, I decided: enough is enough.

I changed how I viewed food, how I nourished my body, and how I cared for myself. I followed all the instructions my doctor gave me. Within one year, I came off medication. I lost over 35 pounds. My energy soared. For the first time in years, I felt alive.

But then, Life Happened

In 2017, I became fully vegan, and I felt incredible—until life blindsided me.

I had a hysterectomy. I lost another loved one. We moved to a new city.

I was eating right, but inside, I was silently stressed.

And then one day, sitting in another doctor’s office, I heard him say something I’ll never forget:

"Yvette, you’re making yourself sick. Your stress is pushing you back toward prediabetes."

I was stunned. I thought I was doing everything right—eating clean, exercising, staying consistent—but my body was telling a different story. And that’s when I realized something powerful:

It’s not just what you eat that affects your health. It’s your environment. It’s your choice. It’s your stress.

The Turning Point

From 2019 to 2023, I wasn’t truly living—I was just existing. Surviving. Functioning. But my body kept calling out for help.

A year ago, I made a decision: No more. I would no longer live on autopilot. I would no longer put myself last.

The only thing that comes before me is God—after that, everything else can wait.

I shifted my mindset. I changed my approach to life. And I made myself a priority.

I began practicing:

Mindfulness – being present in the moment
Deep breathing & stress release exercises
Daily physical activity
Spiritual development & devotion with God
Surrounding myself with people who genuinely have my best interests at heart

And most importantly, I learned how to say no to anything that drains me or pushes me beyond my capacity.

The Results

Every single day, I feel stronger. Every single day, I feel healthier. Every single day, I feel more aligned with God, my body, and my purpose.

I owe God everything. He owes me nothing. The least I can do is honor Him by honoring the body He entrusted to me.

And now, I’m asking you:
