Meet Carlee Nussbaum | Certified Nutrition Health Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Carlee Nussbaum and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carlee, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started Clarify Wellness with Carlee, LLC after becoming a Certified Nutrition Health Coach. You may wonder…why did I become a Certified Nutrition Health Coach? There are a few reasons for that. The first being, I ALWAYS wanted to help others. I never understood in what aspect I wanted to make a difference but I knew I wanted to support others in some way shape or form. It wasn’t until I went through my own health journey that I realized that this is what I was meant to be doing. All my life I struggled with weight struggles, anxieties/depression, skin struggles, disordered eating and much more. I was kind of just living with it and going on fad diet after fad diet. In college, I was in a really toxic relationship that led me to completely lose myself. I had no confidence and lost control of self care and self awareness. After getting out of that relationship, I realized it was time for a change. I turned to a holistic life of food and movement. I started eating whole foods, learning more about ingredients and what was actually going into my body, I found ways to move my body that I actually enjoyed. I spent time with people who only lifted me up and I learned how important self-care and self-love practices were. This made me realize that this was where I wanted to help people. I specialize in Emotional Eating Psychology, which connects with body image, weight struggles, traumas and much more. My goal is to help females achieve their health goals while still enjoying life and creating a source of balance that will make these wellness transitions easy and enjoyable! My approach is very personalized per client, which is really important because one of the biggest things I have learned through all of this is that everyone’s bodies and minds are different. What works for one person, doesn’t always work for the other.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others? What are you most proud of?

I am most proud that I am now helping others where I have struggled. It is the most amazing feeling when a client accomplishes their goals and says ” I couldn’t have done that without you”. I am excited to continue helping people heal their relationships with food, their bodies and minds. I want to make an impact on many young females and make them realize that they are not alone and that they can accomplish their goals.

How did you get to where you are today business-wise. Was it easy?

It was definitely not easy. but it sure was enjoyable. Building a business isn’t easy – especially when you have such a large vision. I still have so much growth that has to happen but I think the biggest help has been my community. The community of other entrepreneurs has changed my life and business. You need a support system because on the days you feel like giving up, those are the people who will keep you going!

If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way.

I overcame challenges in my business by not giving up. I knew what my goal was and I knew I wanted to change peoples lives. I learned that you can’t compare yourself to others because everyone is on their own journey! Your journey is special for yourself and your business.

What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?

I touched on this in the question before but, I want people to know they’re not alone and to not give up! Use your past to define your future – its the best way to find your passion. My brand is about balance and taking care of the whole body. I help my clients not just reach their goal weight but support them in creating a better relationship with themselves, enjoy working out, loving themselves in any way shape or form, finding creative ways to help with their anxieties and worries, and help heal themselves from the inside out!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition which got me to where I am today but I am also so thankful for my family, my fiance, my friends and my health/entrepreneur community!
