Challenges are part of life’s journey; it’s time to turn things around and embrace the journey.

Insider Watch Challenge Blog - Lei's StoryInsider Watch Challenge Blog - Lei's Story My story is not just about overcoming traumatic events but about navigating life’s twists and turns with courage and optimism. I discovered that resilience is not just about bouncing back but looking ahead with renewed purpose and joy.  
My name is Anne-lie North, a naturopathic nutritional therapist and the founder of NutraLei. As a mum with three children, my journey into wellness and nutrition has been shaped by many challenges.

In 2018, while in my final year of college, I was involved in a severe accident with a 17-ton truck while riding my motorcycle. Although I miraculously did not suffer any broken bones or external injuries, the psychological and emotional impact was profound and just two months later, my dad passed away from a brain tumour. These events, along with my battle with autoimmunity and extreme fatigue, forced me to redefine my understanding of resilience, perseverance, and success.

Throughout my life, I have faced numerous challenges, from other accidents, operations and health issues to personal losses and emotional hardships. These experiences have taught me that no matter how daunting the challenges, they can become opportunities for growth and learning.
