You Are Stronger Than You Think

Five years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, prescribed some medication and told I had to live with it.

Not long after I had a car accident that left me with debilitating levels of pain and fatigue, on a disgusting amount of medication, unable to properly function and told I wouldn't be able to work more than 10 hours a week for the rest of my life (I was 23 at the time).

My optimistic mindset refused to give in to this diagnosis and went in search of a cure - pro tip, there isnt 'one' cure, but you can definitely get better with trial and error and a lot of work!

It led me on the most wonderful, challenging and painful (physically and emotionally) journey and to the evolution of Chloe Louise Wellbeing to share all I have learnt.

I thought healing from a chronic illness would make building a business a piece of cake - news flash - it doesn't!

Healing and building a business together felt impossible, but each fed into the other so I stuck with it.

Since I am 95% there with the healing now I thought the business side of things would feel easier. But again, my optimistic mindset didn't allow me to prepare myself well enough for how hard it can be.

Every step of the way, both with my healing and building the business I kept thinking 'this is it', 'this is the thing thats going to cure me', 'this is going to be my big break'. But alas, I'm not quite there YET.

Despite that, I know I WILL get there, I just have to trust my journey, cry when I need to, reach out for help when I need it, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

And that's my message for you, the best things in life aren't always easy, and they aren't always free, but there is no doubt in my mind it is worth it and will be worth it. If I had given up 4 years ago, I would be a ball on the sofa, glued to the TV for the rest of my life.

Looking at how far I've come, I can only feel excited for what the next few years will bring and where I will be when I look back in another 5 years. So, whatever it is your working on, health, business or otherwise - Don't give up, you've got this, and I believe in you!
