Is This The Start of Something Better?

When you know you can't keep going the way things are...

This weekend, we are with five of Phil's Bright Line Eating (BLE) community friends as we are on our Hugging Tour of the eastern side of the USA.   They are people from all walks of life with a shared experience. 

They each reached a turning point—emotionally, physically, or spiritually—when they knew something had to change.  

They weren’t looking for perfection. They were just done pretending.  Done trying to outrun pain.  Done living by old rules that never really fit.  Done staying quiet about their struggles.

And somewhere in that honesty, they found connection. Community.  Healing. Even joy.  They are, in their own ways, living proof of what’s possible when you say, “I can’t go on like this”—and mean it.

Our most recent Real Stories, Real Change interview had the same theme.  Michael Taylor had it all on the outside—marriage, success, a house in the suburbs. But inside, he was crumbling. After divorce, bankruptcy, and walking away from his faith, he found himself in the dark. Alone. Questioning everything.

And then, as he puts it, “I made the choice to believe that there had to be more.”

That was his turning point.   Not a big dramatic fix.   Just a quiet decision to believe something better was possible.

It’s the same kind of moment we keep hearing about on the Hugging Tour.

From Breaking to Rebuilding

Michael chose to rebuild his life piece by piece. He didn’t go back to who he was—he became someone new.  He reimagined success. He reclaimed faith on his own terms.

And now, he shares that story to remind others that your past does not define you. You do.

You get to choose again.  Even if it’s messy.  Even if it starts with nothing more than a whisper: There has to be more.

What About You?

If you’re sitting with that whisper—or a full-on scream—you’re not alone.

This journey, this weekend, these conversations—they’re all reminders that you don’t have to wait for everything to fall apart - including your health - to begin again.

You can start now. With a question. With a hug. With the courage to tell the truth about what hurts, and the hope that something better is possible.
