Anna Broome - Healthy Lifestyle Advocate
I have been an advocate for a healthy lifestyle for most of my life. Throughout various careers I have spend my time motivating, encouraging, and inspiring others to do more and be more. Teaching others to have hope is something that brings me great joy.
I began my personal health journey decades ago working on growth in my thinking and perspective. I quickly learned that I was single focused on my work and growing in my career and I became very unbalanced and unfulfilled.
One day I looked at myself in the mirror and realized I didn't recognize who that woman was. I was the heaviest weight I had ever been, I was tired, I was unhappy, and I had lost my desire and drive.
I needed help in more than just what to eat or how to exercise. I knew those things but wasn't practicing them. I realized I needed to grow deeper in my faith, strengthen my relationships and find harmony my lifestyle. Most important was to stop equating personal success to a title or rank in my career.
I needed to learn harmony in my body, my mind, my spirit and my heart.
Through my personal journey working with coaches, spiritual mentors, and Christian friends, I not only improved my health, I improved my whole life. I found a passion for helping others to find hope that they too can reach their best life when the focus shifts back to core principles of faith, community and relationships and now I want to share that with you!

A Snippet of My Story...
I started my weight loss journey in 2018 after weighing in at 204 pounds. My 5'2" frame was carrying quite a load but despite the extra weight I really thought I was maintaining a fairly healthy life. It had been so long since I actually felt great, I didn't even know that I was feeling so poorly. I was living in denial. After some bloodwork revealed a pre-diabetic level A1c I knew I needed to do something.
I lost 75 pounds and after a long time of being overweight finally found myself back to a normal BMI. Although I was feeling great and looking a lot better, I knew I had more work to do. Work on the inside. I began to realize that the transformation I started was not nearly complete. I would not be where I wanted to be until I worked on my habits, my mindset and my relationship with God.
I spent several years doing bible studies individually and in groups, I took personal development classes, attended conferences and I worked with a business coach. Finally, I had some breakthrough and started to feel a match between the outside me and the inside me.
During that journey I found so very many things I wanted to share with others and give the gift of finding internal peace and hope to more people so I decided to start offering what I found to be the most helpful parts of my journey through my business...The Healthy Lifestyles Mom!
It's not Only Physical...
You can see the physical changes, so those are the easiest to show on a webpage. What you can't see are the internal changes both in my health and in my mind. Or the ones in my relationships, my perspective and my outlook.
Let's explore together if I can help you with regaining your health!
