I attended this years Plexus convention in Columbus, Ohio. Leading up to the time I would leave, and in the car ride there, I had what you would call, imposter syndrome. Basically, I was freaking out that I did not belong. I hadn’t accomplished what others have, nor had I accomplished even a tiny bit of what I wanted to accomplish. Basically all the thoughts were swirling in my head. Thankfully, I rode to convention with a friend and she helped to squash those thoughts. This was my first Plexus convention, so I had no idea what to expect each day. What I can tell you is that what I got from this experience was truly a life-changing moment for me. Never did I expect to leave Columbus, Ohio feeling more like myself than I have felt in the last twelve+ years.

OK OK Give Me the Deets
First of all, Plexus knows how to do it. Not only do they show up to a convention center, but they take OVER a convention center. Not for one single second do you question where you are. 
We got up early and stayed up late, and each day was jam packed with great speakers and information about new products coming out. From listening to Dr. Darshan Shah (@drshahlongevity on Instagram) speak about gut health, to hearing from After Burner (@afterburner_inc on Instagram), then Kindra Hall (@kindrahall on Instagram) on storytelling, to Jade Simmons (@officialjadesimmons on Instagram), we had a powerhouse of speakers that were meant to inspire us. And inspire us they did!
My Life-Changing Moment
Anyone sitting around me would have seen my literally leaning in my seat when Dr. Shaw got on the stage. I have been following him on Instagram forever. While I thoroughly enjoyed his time on stage (and I have watched the replay a few times…yes a few), the speaker that sparked that a-ha moment, the one that was my life-changing moment was Kindra Hall. For those of you that have known me a long time, know that I am a storyteller. I used to write on this blog the most epic tales of raising my kids, etc. But life, as it sometimes does, lifed and I kind of shut down. I retreated within myself and did have the same passion I once had for writing and storytelling. That is, until Saturday, June 13, 2026 at roughtly 3:43pm in Columbus, Ohio. From the moment Kindra Hall got on the stage and began talking about her physics paper and the roller coaster bar going over her lap, I was hooked. Basically, her message was about being you. Telling your story to connect with other people.
How I Felt After
I left that event and my skin was crawling. It felt like I had a current of electricity buzzing through me. As soon as I got back to my room, I wrote out a Facebook post for the day. I was real; I was raw; I told my story. And it felt great! Pretty much every Facebook post or Instagram post since that moment with Kindra Hall was written in the same fashion. The way I used to write. Again, that was my life-changing moment. Have you ever had a moment that was so electric for you?

So…What Now?
I don’t know. What I do know is I feel alive. I feel like the part of me that was in a dark place, hiding away from life, is back. And that feels wonderful. I have ideas again. Most importantly, I want to write again. I want to be funny with my words…make people laugh. Best of all, I know I have a story to tell and for the first time in twelve+ years, I am ready to tell it. I may not fully know what the future looks like, but I do know I owe a lot to Plexus for having such an amazing convention; I owe a lot to the wonderful ladies I went to convention with; and I am forever thankful that I had the pleasure of listening to Kindra Hall speak. She has a couple books out and as soon as Audible drops my credit into my account, I am grabbing one of her books. For one moment, take a look at the picture of the woman below. This is a woman with light and life in her eyes again. This is a woman that knows exactly what she wants and a little of how she can get after it. But most of all, this is a woman that feels like herself again. She knows her worth and she’s adding tax!
