Hailey begins, “I think with the Lyme disease and that situation, it definitely makes you more aware of your health and I think it makes you pay more attention to how you feel and different symptoms.  Lyme disease is an interesting thing because a lot of people don’t believe it’s real, and a lot of people think it’s BS. But I’ve had it before, I’ve dealt with it.  My husband has it and deals with it very deeply. I think it’s about finding the right doctors who believe in getting to the bottom of any health issues that you might have.”

 

When asked about her own health, Hailey says exercise is key, and helps keep her mentally and physically strong, “I really like Pilates and boxing for cardio. And I’ll do a couple of sessions a week in the gym, weight training and cardio.  I used to be a ballet dancer so Pilates for me gets my body personally in the best shape because it’s very elongating, and a lot of the movements in Pilates are very similar to dance. And I think that’s why I identify with and like it so much.”

As for her mental health, “I’ve talked it a lot through with a therapist, and I do therapy consistently.  For a while strangers made me feel like I had to explain myself, when the reality is, I don’t owe them anything.  It took me a while to get there and understand that, because I’m kind of a perfectionist and I don’t want people to hate me or be mad at me,” she continued. “I want to be like ‘Hey I’m actually not this person that you think I am,'” Hailey explains.

 


 

Hailey continues, “I just realized that there’s people on the internet that, no matter what you say and do, they want to just hate you because they are not happy with themselves.  The more I’ve been able to break that down with a therapist [and] the more I realize it has nothing to do with me, or my personal character, I felt a lot more freedom.”

 

What is Lyme disease: It is transmitted to human through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks.
