It’s been almost three years since the world lockdown. And yet, despite things “returning to normal,” we are still dealing with the adverse side effects of the pandemic.
I was devastated when it was first announced that schools would close and everyone should stay at home.
I remember thinking, “what about those families where home isn’t a safe place?”
“What about the women who are going to be locked in with an abusive husband?”
“What about the children locked down with parents with marriage struggles, who witness lots of fighting and now whose parents can’t escape each other?”
This pandemic has inflicted a lot of psychological trauma. And not only that, it has also created moraeus health issues.
Many women inside the Healing Rosie FB Group have lamented gaining 20-40lbs during the lockdown.
Not having a normal routine, not moving regularly, and being afraid and unable to cope well has led many of us to stress eat.
We’ve seen a lot of families broken apart, marriages disintegrate and people dealing with relentless depression and anxiety.
Collectively we are just starting to rebuild our lives from the ashes of a really destructive time, and many are still struggling to cope.
If you’re struggling, I want you to have some guiding light to help you find your way out of these struggles.
How do we manage all of this stress and anxiety and depression and the dissonance that we’re feeling in our heads from a really traumatic time?
I invited Dr. Lindsey Elmore, a leader in the mental wellness movement, to show us how to reduce the risk of mental health challenges.
We’re going to explore:
- The shocking statistics on mental illness that resulted from the pandemic
- What they should have told us to do during the pandemic instead of spreading panic
- Gained weight during the pandemic? Take this to help shred belly fat

About Misty Williams
& Healing Rosie
Misty Williams spent years struggling to reclaim her health and vitality after surgery to remove an ovarian cyst, life-threatening complications and an endometriosis diagnosis sent her into a brain fog and fatigue tailspin.Her doctor told her that the only remedies for her issues were drugs and surgeries, that her labs were “normal” and she could “google” to learn more about what was happening to her body.At 35 years old, Misty embarked on the fight for her quality of life, enduring many more challenges on her road to healing, including an unexplained 45-lb weight gain, debilitating brain fog, fatigue, hypothyroidism, and premature ovarian failure.
She founded HealingRosie.com to provide high-performing women with the resources an community to successfully confront the unexpected chronic health issues that women often experienced as they age.
Amen and amen to this interview! If you could see me I am jumping out of my skin! I am in total agreement with everything you talked about today. I’ve been a nurse for 42 years and it is still very rare after all this time to hear people talk about preventive care. I am actually looking for another job not in nursing because I am so disheartened with how this whole scenario has been handled over the last few years. When Covid lockdown started I got creative with our meal preparation’s just so we didn’t have to go to the store so often. I love to listen to webinars and podcasts and I heard a Doctor who I forget his name make a comment that Americans are one of the only countries in the world who do not eat vegetables in the morning for breakfast. And it’s true outside of the usual green pepper onions and mushrooms. So I started eating more greens for breakfast and other vegetables. Over the last two years I started losing weight and have lost 20 pounds only with this one change in my diet. For the last 25 years I had been the same weight, overweight, and just set my mind that that’s where I was going to be. I have healed myself and my immediate family from Covid using natural remedies and supplements. My extended family are all vaccinated and the little children that aren’t old enough yet they plan on vaccinating them too. This all scares me and I am preaching about vitamin C, D, zinc and making my own home remedies and preaching preventive care. So thank you so much for this interview and I look forward to listening to her summit as well. Thank you for your work, keep it going! Michele Zuidema
