Activated You, Activated Me

When you imagine what your twenties are supposed to be like, what do you imagine? College? Your career? A family? Traveling? Networking? Love? Friendship?

See, these are all things that most of us in this stage of our lives think about. I know I did (and definitely still do). I thought that once I graduated college in 2014, my life would somehow magically fall into place. I felt losing my mother in 2011 somehow strengthened me and drove me towards the success I envisioned for myself my entire life. I can honestly tell you that even with all the hard work I had done for all these years and all the generosity I showed to others, I had to acknowledge that I was exhausted from not prioritizing my health in its entirety.

In 2015, my health began to decline rapidly. I began experiencing widespread pain, loss of appetite, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, intestinal and colon issues. My joy of working and being active completely dissipated. My life seemed to have taken such a drastic turn. I went from working and playing hard with friends and colleagues to visiting doctors and other specialists by myself only for them to disregard my ailments. I become so sick that I quit my job in 2016, and I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2017. Simple tasks became arduous. Relationships were severed. I was the most detached I had ever been, and I fell into what felt like an inescapable depression.

For five years of my life, I struggled in what felt like every single area of my existence. But, I was determined to break cycles that I had seen for so long in my family and in my community. I sought those who would benefit my health and my energy and removed those who did not. I returned to school to get my Masters in Creative Writing. My first book, “Reflections of a Twenty Something” was published in 2018. I also found awesome chiropractors who treated me like one of their own and guided me on my journey to reclaim what I felt I had lost.

I can honestly tell you that I always struggled with loving myself and confidence. It took me 28 years to accept myself for who I am. My weight, my skin, my hair! I hid my feelings of inadequacy for so long that I realized I could not bare the weight of it anymore. I knew I had to make a conscious effort to change, and I made a conscious effort to assist those who struggle with mental health. I began looking into products and services of all types that would heal me.

Activated You—Morning Complete.

These four words may not seem like much, but this supplement completely changed my way of life. The prebiotic, probiotic, and super green ingredients are just what the body ordered! My energy, my passions, my love for food, my love for love, my love for work, my love for life blossomed and thrived. I remember feeling like I would never get to this place of acceptance and love for myself. I have now entered what maybe the prime of my life, and I welcome it with open arms.

And believe it or not, it was significantly due to Maggie Q and her vision of a better life. Her influence of this company and its products gave me the push I needed to feel better and to do better. If I could meet her, I would tell her that words couldn’t even begin to describe how damaged I was. That she and Morning Complete represented the light at the end of my tunnel. She and all the brilliant people behind these products healed me internally so that my light and my energy could shine externally. I am forever grateful.

I am a child of God. I am a black woman. I am a writer and author. I am a mental health advocate. I am an entrepreneur. I am a hustler. I am a warrior. I am a wife. I am an aunt. I am a friend. I am your family.

I am so many roles to so many people. And for so long, I felt overwhelmed at the thought of disappointing what and who I love.

But, thanks to the great minds behind this brand,

Activated You, Activated Me.
