We all have choices in life in both the big and the little, and ultimately who you choose to be matters, according to the author, Carrie Spratley. Carrie came to a place where she realized how much more impactful it was when she chose to steward everything that happened as a gift. Carrie wrote this book to inspire others, so that they, too, could see things in a way that would generate more hope, more confidence, and more impact for this side of eternity.

Seventeen years ago, Carrie was diagnosed with an illness that took away her ability to be a great wife, mom, and friend. She knew that she had a choice, deciding how to navigate this illness. Everything in her said fight and fight hard. She had people who were counting on her, and she knew she was worth being set free. Carrie put on her manufactured smile and implemented everything she could to become well.

After 10 years, Carrie finally began having more wins than losses and God graciously blessed her with the gift of healing. She chose wellness. She chose to fight. She chose to be a victor and not a victim. Being grateful for what God had done, Carrie decided to pay it forward and help other people with similar struggles; a holistic health coach was born. Carrie has collected proven tools and strategies to guide people into their purpose-filled, most authentic life possible.

After 25 years of marriage to her husband, Eric, being on the other side of illness, and having raised three amazing young men, Jared, Garrett, and Caleb, Carrie realized that she has had some really contrasting life experiences. By the world's standards, she has been living what some would call the "highlight reel."

However, most of those experiences paled in comparison to what space filled Carrie's heart when she decided to move in the direction of serving others. She did some serious heart-searching on what it was she was specifically being called to do.

Carrie became a health coach, because being sick robbed her from 10 years of being the best version of herself possible. She was given the gift of healing, and she wanted to make sure that people knew there was a better way. Carrie wanted to learn everything she could so she could help others with their health issues. Carrie understands that what helped her nutritionally may not be best for each individual she desires to help. Therefore, she learned a broad spectrum of different nutrition theories, and she values helping people find what works best for them on a bio-individual basis.

If having a better understanding of whom God created you to be interests you, and if you have a nagging space in your heart you need to fill, Carrie invites you to take a journey with her through this book to help discover how to tap into the good life: the life God intended you to live!

Who you choose to be matters, and you do get to choose!
