Sometimes, we find ourselves needing a gentle reminder about what we already know. Why is prioritizing whole foods important, you might ask? Initially, it does require more effort, demanding dedication and determination. However, once it becomes a habit, it seamlessly transitions into a lifestyle change, promising improved well-being and long-term health benefits. But how does one initiate this transformation? I discuss  some small changes we can make. which is key to cultivating new traits and habits. Finally, we address the detrimental impact of diets on long-term health goals.

Reflecting on nearly four years of podcasting, launching Kami Banks coaching, initiating Team Elevate, and navigating through various highs and lows in relationships and personal growth, especially after a significant ski accident, has been an incredible journey. Throughout this time, I've garnered invaluable lessons that have transformed me from the inside out.

One of the most pivotal lessons I've learned is the art of pausing – cultivating emotional agility and mastering the ability to respond rather than react impulsively. This shift in perspective has been monumental, worth every ounce of effort, perseverance, and even tears shed along the way. Embracing discomfort and refusing to succumb to adversity has been another crucial lesson.

I also take a moment to express my gratitude to all who have tuned in and provided unwavering support, empowering me to show up week after week, striving to evolve and elevate. It's a journey that underscores the possibility for anyone, even the "average girl," to elevate their life. 

Even though my mom never had the chance to listen to a single one of my podcast episodes while she was alive, it's her legacy and spirit that fuel the essence of this journey. In her honor and as a tribute to her, I embarked on this path, carrying forward the messages she imparted to me. Each episode is a testament to her wisdom and love, a continuation of the passion she instilled in me.

While her physical presence may be absent, her spirit resonates in every word spoken, every lesson shared. This podcast is not just my endeavor; it's a collaboration between her heart and mine, a bridge connecting past and present. Through this platform, her legacy lives on, and her influence continues to shape lives, including my own.

So, as I celebrate this milestone, I do so with gratitude for the foundation she laid and the values she instilled. Her presence may be missed, but her impact remains profound, echoing through every episode and guiding me as I navigate the journey ahead.
