POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Allow me to reintroduce myself 🌿🙂‍↔️ almost every part of our body is new every 7 years! So perfecting timing

(circa 2014) Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️
My name is Meghan Mencer, and most times you can find me grinning ear to ear full of sunshine and positivity.

Being healthy doesn’t mean that we are absent of flaws, faults, and other imperfections, but it does mean that we are constantly striving to become the best versions of ourselves, and being accountable and taking responsibility when we’re not 💕

When we fall short, want to quit, start to self sabotage, feel grumpy or sick, or whatever, remember that there is a season for all things, this too shall pass. Success isn’t about being perfect, it’s about consistently getting back up after a setback and continuing to progress. Taking responsibility when we miss our mark, and continuing to move forward. Your journey is different than mine, and we might progress at different rates, but that is what makes us so much better equipped to help one another when we’re down and delight in each other’s victories! ☺️💪🏽

Every day we have a choice.
Remember why you started!

You are enough. You are loved. You are light. Your story matters ☀️

(NOW) In the last 7 years of being autoimmune free I have become a certified functional health practitioner and founder of @harnessingyourpotential.

Something crazy happened after chronic illness… I realized I could have FUN again!! I realized I could Harness My Potential. I remembered my 7yr old dream!

And it all stemmed from: HOPE 🤍
(I’ll share that story fully sometime)

The system I used to overcome chronic illness, get fit, and run a business on my own is outlined in the HOPE Method, it’s a 4 phase program to harnessing your potential so you can stop just surviving and start THRIVING!

Your body has the innate ability to heal, there is HOPE and a future!

The best is yet to come…

Keep Shining ☺️✨

I was in a hospital bed recovering after a sudden appendectomy.
_
What appeared to be a ready to rupture appendix turned out to be a pool of blood in my abdominal cavity due to a ruptured ovarian cyst.
_
Although my appendix showed no signs of distress, they removed it. Because “they were in there”🤷🏼‍♀️
_
(I also got a nice visit from my general practitioner, checking to see how I was doing. The $200 bill after her visit was a nice touch too.)
_
Instead of seeking to understand my body or find what the root cause of the cyst. They saw a symptom and destroyed anything that could be linked to a problem.
_
I struggled for years with health problems. I missed so much of highschool due to sickness and misdiagnosis.
_
Celiac, hypothyroidism, hashimotos, endometriosis, IBS, IBD, depression, anxiety, adrenal fatigue, mononucleosis.... _
Every label had a pill to go along with it, and numerous doctor visits, and thousands of dollars wasted while I got worse!
_
Western medicine never once offered me hope. They saw only the removal of problems but offered no real solution.
_
But here’s the silver lining ☀️
All those years in doctors rooms, counselors offices, and hospital beds were some of the best forms of education I could have asked for. And a fiery catalyst to who I am today.
_
Our lives are our stories. What we walk through is not without meaning or purpose. Our stories matter!
_
I help clients get to the root of chronic illness and past trauma, by building a roadmap that defines where they’ve been, what has gotten them to where they are now, where they want to go, and a clearly defined plan to get there.

My goal is to educate, encourage, and empower health, healing, and hope.
_
I know that God gave me this life with a plan and a purpose! I have walked through what I have so that I can bear witness to hope, and help people heal and experience new life.🙏🏽
_
In this life we will face many trials, but take heart! God has already overcome this world. John 16:33
_

Hurricane Isaias hit my home in Pensacola while I was stranded in New York with food poisoning, and God still used every broken piece of this trip

Before I left for work, I prayed for chances to be salt and light. Then the storm came. My flights home were delayed, my hotels had to be rebooked, and my confirmations disappeared, all while I was sick, dehydrated, and watching the news from a thousand miles away, wondering what was left of my community, friends, pets etc

I never got to explore NYC, what I saw instead was the back seat of one Uber after another, and every single driver knew Jesus and we got to pray together.

We are ONE body of Christ, I am so encouraged by the comfort and care of each driver and how not only got to use me to pray but use them for encouragement 🙏

Those conversations only happened because everything else fell apart. The interruptions I would have prayed away became the answer to the prayer I actually prayed.

I keep hearing God asking me to share stories of HOPE, and I don’t know exactly how yet but what I do know is hope doesn’t mean the storm skips you. It means God meets you inside it and uses you there.

I’m flying home now, still sick, and pilot saying it’s going to be a bumpy ride but I know everything is going to be okay 🙏

Praying we land safely so I can get to work helping clean up Pensacola. If you’re in the Gulf Coast recovering from Isaias, you are not alone. Reach out if you know anyone who needs support so many churches are hard at work today helping out community! 🙏

What a rescue horse taught me about healthy relationships…

☀️ When I started volunteering at Panhandle Equine Rescue, everyone told me to watch Sonny bc could be mouthy, pushy, and struggled with personal space

He was one of the worst cases PER had seen, the horse he was rescued with actually died. Sonny survived, but had a lot to heal from

He was adopted at one point, but without consistent boundaries Sonny returned to the rescue

I relate to him. I can be mouthy, pushy maybe, definitely learning boundaries, and like Sonny have survived near death, have physical + emotional heart hurts, and have felt “returned” by people ❤️‍🩹

… what I wanted most was to make him feel loved, so I started with play because I wanted him to like me...

Then Diane lovingly shared with me how important groundwork is for horse and human safety, so I asked her to teach me with Sonny 🥹🙏

LESSON 1: sometimes the most loving thing you can give someone is not what they want, but what helps save them

Natural horsemanship isnt about dominating a horse - it’s about learning to communicate through body language, timing, consistency, pressure/release, and trust

if I allow Sonny to push into my space one day and correct him for it the next, I haven’t communicated a boundary - I’ve taught him I’m unpredictable…

the same is true in human relationships:
We can’t enable and call it love
We can’t avoid truth because we don’t want someone to be uncomfortable
We can’t confuse boundaries with rejection

Sonny is teaching me that leadership isn’t about being stronger or overpowering (he is much bigger than me, yet he looks to me for direction) but about becoming calm, clear, consistent, and trustworthy

Dear God give me:
LOVE confident enough to tell the truth
BOUNDARIES firm enough to create safety
CONSISTENCY steadfast enough to build trust

…perhaps the greatest lesson Sonny is teaching me is that your past can explain you without defining you

His story isnt over, and neither is mine and neither is YOURS

one of the greatest gifts God gives us is the ability to experience joy again

Not the kind of joy that comes from everything going according to plan, but the kind that shows up in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday evening on Pensacola Beach. The kind that looks like sitting in the sand with a friend, painting something imperfect, laughing until your cheeks hurt, watching the Florida sunset turn the Gulf Coast sky gold, and realizing that maybe this moment is enough.

For a long time, I thought I had to have my whole life figured out before I could really enjoy it. I thought peace would come when the right relationship worked out, when the next chapter became clear, when I finally arrived at whatever version of life I had imagined for myself.

But God has been teaching me something different.

Life with Jesus is not just about waiting for the next answered prayer. It is about learning to recognize His goodness in the middle of the waiting

Sometimes His goodness looks like a breathtaking Pensacola Beach sunset. Sometimes it looks like a friend who makes you laugh. Sometimes it looks like creativity, bare feet in the sand, salt in your hair, and remembering that you are still allowed to play.

I think healing has a lot to do with this

Learning how to be present again. Learning how to receive good things without immediately wondering when they will disappear. Learning that not every beautiful moment has to become something productive. Learning that joy is not something we have to earn

There is something about the ocean that constantly reminds me of the character of God. It is bigger than I can comprehend, constantly moving, powerful enough to humble me, yet beautiful enough to make me stop and stare.

“Let the whole earth fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.” Psalm 33:8

God keeps reminding me that my story is not over

So maybe you need the reminder you don’t need to have everything figured out either

Sometimes the blessing isn’t waiting for you somewhere in the future, it’s the sunset you’re standing underneath right now 🥹

September is suicide prevention month, and last week I sat with someone as they were in crisis and helped them regulate their nervous system and call 988

I know what it’s like to feel hopeless and want the pain and suffering to go away, I have been in a place where I’ve wanted to take control and end my suffering, and I am SO GRATEFUL that the light of HOPE in Christ was brighter than any darkness this world can attempt to overtake us with

JESUS ALREADY DEFEATED DEATH AND OVERCAME THIS WORLD | IT IS FINISHED

We are all fighting our own battles but we are NEVER ALONE and LIGHT ALWAYS WINS

There is something like 1 in 400 TRILLION odds that YOU exist today. There will never be another YOU, and God created you with a purpose and good plans!

there is HOPE

What I want everyone to know who is feeling hopeless is that there is a source of HOPE and it’s Christ 🙏🏼

Jesus transformed what I thought was incurable

What I thought would define me. What I thought I would have to live with forever. The pain, the chronic illness, the heartbreak, the trauma, the suffering, the hopelessness

He wipes every tear, He is near to the brokenhearted, He is our healer, counselor, protector, provider, advocate, friend, etc

Whatever you’re facing today, lay it down at the foot of the cross, I promise God will meet you there and raise you up to new life and life abundant!

I am also a care coordinator at Charlie Health, so whether you need prayer or someone to sit with you while we find additional support and resources, I am always available to help shine a LIGHT especially through dark times, and I would love to hear your story

I have noticed one thing at least… It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life. This is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past | Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬ by @meghanmencer
