Those of you who’ve read Mastering Your Mean Girl, you’ll know that in 2010 I hit rock bottom, and ended up in hospital very unwell and unhappy. I felt really lost and had no idea what I was going to do with my life. What I did know, however, was that I needed to get healthy and happy again. So I signed up for IIN (the Institute for Integrative Nutrition), not really knowing what to expect... and I’ve never looked back. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/16 IIN changed my life, which is why I am SO excited to be chatting with its founder, Joshua Rosenthal, in today's episode. Now, when I say that it changed my life, I mean it! Literally! It helped me launch my dream career and turn it into a profitable business that supports me and my family, it helped me heal and get healthy, and it helped me achieve a level of happiness I didn’t know existed. I also met some of the most amazing soul sisters from all over the world, who have become some of my besties... It also gave me the confidence to call in my dream man. Becoming an IIN holistic health coach was really one of the best things I have ever done. And because I experienced such profound results, my brother, sister-in-law and many of my friends have gone on to study at IIN too. It’s seriously awesome! So if you’ve been craving change in your life, and have a burning passion for health, buckle up for today’s podcast... you’re gonna love it.
