Sheila Brown is a lawyer, speaker, personal strategic planner, and divine health coach. She is on a mission to change common misconceptions about soul food and encourage people to embrace the vegan lifestyle. After confronting her issues with food and spirituality, she found ways to address anxiety and problems in her life and does the same for others through her coaching. Sheila helps clients with weight loss struggles and triumphs by identifying and addressing concerns around food and their bodies.
Sheila joins me today to share the pivotal moment that inspired her to change her lifestyle and embark on a career in health and wellness. She reveals how spirituality was an essential part of the changes and recalls how confronting her issues with food helped her recognize other problem areas in her life. She explains the lessons she learned about weight loss and how ideas about an ideal weight can change along with that journey. Sheila also illustrates why diets do not apply to everyone as well as how she works with clients to help them stick to the healthy changes they make in their lives.
“If you think about what it is you are trying to accomplish with food and with your body and how that aligns with fulfilling your purpose in life, everything else falls into line.” - Sheila Brown
