Terry shares her transformative journey from a burnt-out, overstressed, 80-pounds-overweight businesswoman to a strong, grounded, and thriving coach helping women reclaim their health mentally, emotionally, and physically.Through raw honesty, humor, and deep wisdom, Terry reveals how her two hospitalizations became the wake-up call that led her to explore macro-based nutrition, emotional eating patterns, and sustainable strength training.
