The Impact of Transparency on Health Choices

Last week I had an interesting conversation, it was one where we began talking about one thing and then branched off in various ways. During the conversation, the woman I was speaking with was telling a story and she said, I need to be transparent, I was not sure what to expect next. She then revealed to me that in her transparency, its to share that she did get 3 of the c-19 jabs as she believed what the government was telling everyone and public health’s push and wanted to do the “right” thing.

She went on to tell me that her day of reckoning was when someone close to them was diagnosed with a serious health issue, an issue that *could* be genetic and their family was all tested – negative. Upon further research… what does it come back to … the jab! I let her know that my family, for health reasons, decided to not get the jab. She stopped what she was doing and said omg girl, good for you! This is the first time Ive heard this, for years our family was judged, we didn’t do what we were supposed to. Even though it was hard, admittedly hard, some family wouldn’t interact with us and truthfully still haven’t, some friends dwindled away and we haven’t been invited back and our kids couldn’t play sports, we couldn’t go into an arena or a restaurant or anything they deemed you needed a “passport” for. What hurt was being laughed at that our family couldn’t enter a restaurant. Or being told “you have to get this”, no actually I don’t.

Sadly, Ive heard this much more recently, health issues that no one seems to know whats going on, doctors are “stumped” and don’t know… yet… they do know – especially if they are an ethical doctor. Do I regret not getting it, absolutely not. Do I hate what we went through, absolutely I do. Do I wish things were more normal about this and people were encouraged to do whats right for their own health – absolutely!

The more people speak up, the more this CAN be “normalized”. Regardless of whatever your choice was. Empowering people to make real choices that DO have an effect on their health and understanding that the government is not the one to do that for us.

The other day, I opened Instagram – to be fully transparent myself, during 2020-2024 I relied far too heavily on those “social” media platforms that really and truly merely sunk our mental health and increased addiction like feelings of needing to know what everyone is doing or whats happening or that there are people around. It was a wicked time in the world without individual issues and challenges – which merely intensified this.

What I am leaning into more is, Why… why do I feel drawn to open it, what is there for me to find, see or understand? Opening it with curiosity Ive found is MUCH better than opening with boredom or to “zone out” from a hectic day.

What I saw, was a beautiful bright coloured book – that ironically, the colours also match the 2 books and 1 journal I have for 2025… Dr Casey Means book GOOD ENERGY.

Truthfully, after loosing our dog Becker and then my brother both in 2024, my world was rocked even harder than the previous years. I haven’t been taking care of my health in the ways I know or had been in the past. Eating things that I know my body doesn’t like, will only make it worse which affects so many areas of my life mentally and physically.

But here’s the thing… we will always have various things going on in our lives, everyone is different in how we process what we go through. No one is immune from getting through lifes highs and lows, its learning to manage those waves and also understanding that EVERYONE faces these highs and lows in their life. When we are putting things in and on our body that doesn’t align with our bodies energy, it just makes these challenges – whether mental or physical – even harder!

Check out this podcast above, Casey is the author of Good Energy and as I am finding a wealth of information that aligns so much with my own body and health!
