About Me: The Hard Lessons Behind Wellness Portia

A decade ago, I eagerly stepped into the world of remote work, thrilled by the opportunities that lay ahead. As an online business manager, I juggled everything from video editing to CRM management, automations, and email campaign management. The six-figure dollar income was gratifying, a testament to my hard work and dedication. But beneath the surface, the toll on my health was slowly but surely unraveling everything I had built.

At first, the excitement fueled me. I worked for clients across the globe, adapting to different time zones, sacrificing my sleep, and pushing my body to its limits. Some clients valued my work and allowed me flexibility. But others demanded that I adhere to their schedules, often forcing me to stay awake through the night and sleep during the early hours of the morning. I lost my sense of time, my sense of self, and most heartbreakingly, my health.

The relentless grind, the constant sitting, and the absence of movement caught up with me in the worst possible way. I started suffering from severe autoimmune diseases that left me bedridden. My hormones spiraled out of control, cortisol levels soared, and the pain in my feet, spine, and back was excruciating. I was trapped in a body that could no longer function, all because I had ignored the most important boundary: my health.

The realization was devastating. I had sacrificed so much to prove myself in the industry, only to be crippled by my own ambition. It took time, and a lot of hard lessons, to understand that not all clients are worth the sacrifice. I needed to work with people who valued not just my skills, but also my well-being.

Reclaiming my health wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Through systematic exercises, yoga practices, and a profound mindset shift, I began to heal. And from that healing came Wellness Portia—a reminder to myself and others that no amount of success is worth sacrificing your health for.

Wellness Portia is my way of sharing what I’ve learned, so you don’t have to endure the pain and hardship I did. Health isn’t just a priority; it’s the foundation of everything. And I’m here to help you protect it.
