My Story
Hi, my name is Salem B. I am a certified wellness coach and a licensed school bus driver. This is where two of my passions collided, and I’m happy to bring you on this journey with me.
In December 2021, I got COVID, and that sent me into a downward spiral that I did not realize was bound to happen. I was under a lot of work stress and could not go to bed without a drink first. That, plus a couple of other unhealthy habits, kept me weak and hooked.
Three months later, I decided to clean up my life, starting with my health. Going sober was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It took me 9 months of complete surrender and submission to see the first glimpse of light at the end of that tunnel.
2023 came, and I hit the ground running, literally. Running helped me clear my head and think long-term.
Then one day, I realized that my fingernails had grown. Something that did not happen for more than twenty years. It was a sign of my anxiety leaving, and I knew I finally turned that page.
The Trip That Counts
From 2017 to 2021, I took long road trips from Philadelphia to Miami, Florida, to Acadia National Park, Maine, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the last long one was in 2024 from Orlando, Florida, to Las Vegas, Nevada.
All those miles driven were to get to somewhere that is physically less than a foot away, which is inward. That’s the trip I want to help you take.
