When you’re a high performer or high functioning person, it can be really easily to work through or miss signs that your lifestyle may not be the best for your overall health and wellness. My guest today, health coach and nutritionist Kayla Nedza shares how her high performing behaviors stopped working for her and how she helps fellow high performers find a better balance in their lives.
