Our Clients’ Journeys : Real Stories, Real Results...

Annette Pullen

There was a time in my life when I reached a point where I was deeply unhappy with my health. I had endured several traumatic vehicle accidents that left lasting physical and emotional scars. These experiences, along with the trauma I had endured, led to significant weight gain. I found myself struggling with the impact of this weight gain, which began to affect my daily life in ways I hadn't anticipated. I became limited in my physical activities, my confidence took a hit, and I felt trapped in a cycle of unhealthy choices that I couldn’t seem to break.

When I started engaging in the program with Dawn, I initially hoped it would help me lose weight. What I didn’t expect was the profound transformation that would take place within me. Not only did I begin to see changes in my physical health, but I also experienced a spiritual shift that was even more powerful.

Through the internal work I did, I began to understand how the trauma I experienced had influenced many of my unhealthy choices. These deep-rooted issues went back to childhood experiences surrounding food and how I used it to cope.

The journey with Dawn wasn’t just about shedding pounds. It was about shedding the emotional and spiritual burdens that had been weighing me down for years. As I worked through the process, I grew closer to God, and I experienced the renewing of my mind, as described in Romans 12:2. I began to understand the truth of who I am, not defined by my past or my circumstances, but anchored in the love and truth of whom God says I am.

Through this program, I found freedom, not just in weight loss, but in the inner transformation that led me to greater confidence, peace, and a deepened faith. As Hebrews 6:17-19 reminds us, we have an anchor for our soul, and for me, that anchor became stronger as I embraced this journey of healing, both physically and spiritually.

Before working with Dawn, I wasn’t feeling healthy and was determined to lose 30 pounds. Dawn coached me on developing good eating habits, reaching ketosis, and maintaining that state to achieve my weight loss goals. Throughout the journey, she was incredibly encouraging and supportive, which made all the difference.

Thanks to her guidance, I not only reached my goal but exceeded it in just three months. I couldn’t be happier with the results! I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for expert, compassionate coaching on their health journey.

My weight loss journey with Joyful Jumpstart: I've been on almost every diet -weight loss program there is! In 2020 I decided I had enough! I have known Dawn for quite a while and we were in another business together years ago. So I decided to reach out to her to see if she had any encouragement and new of any program that may have worked for her if she had been struggling with any extra weight. Dawn is and was always very encouraging and an upfront lady. She sugarcoats nothing yet has a very kind soul!! And just as I suspected she had a program and the bonus was she created the program herself!!

Joyful jumpstart is a health journey for Life!! For me the key to this program was accountability on a daily basis with words of encouragement and discipline at the same time. Which if you're in any program at all is very much needed. Joyful jump start is designed for you not anyone else!! You will have a lot of naysayers but just ignore them because it's your journey not theirs!! I was able to drop 50 lb pounds!! You will have bumps in the road as in any journey that you take but have goals and stick to them!! Never be afraid to reach out to Dawn your accountability partner!!! The program will teach you a new healthy lifestyle and I promise you will not regret it!!! Remember to enjoy and learn along the way!!! God bless!
