How to Make the Hard Choices: Balancing Career, Family, and Impact
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, also known as Dr. B, always knew that a holistic path to wellness was more complex than rigid dietary labels. As a result, his approach to diet and health is refreshingly unconventional. Eschewing strict dietary restrictions, he advocates for the joy of eating, the importance of variety, and the power of whole foods.
But the conversation doesn’t stop there. Dr. B opened up about a difficult choice he had to make.
“It became clear to me that I had three things in my life and I could only have two.”
“As I sat there, I looked at these three things and realized I love all of them. I'm not running away from any of them. What am I going to do? If I don't make a choice and if I'm not intentional about this, then the choice will be made for me.”
Will’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of leaning on your values to make important decisions, the joy of embracing variety in your diet, and the transformative power of self-belief.
