3 years ago I finally lost all of the baby weight I was carrying around after having my son. He was two years old and I was at a point where I finally felt ready to take care of myself a little better than I had been. You see when you have a baby you live in this little bubble that revolves around survival. Them. You. Your spouse. You're getting by, but trust me I could have cared less about how I looked in a bathing suit or how "clean" the dinner I was serving was. I cared about him and that's pretty much it. But after two years I realized mom needed to matter too, so I changed my habits so I could be an even better mom.
3 years ago I decided I liked being a challenger in my coaches group, so much that I wanted to start running my own challenge groups. I wanted to help others feel as great as I was feeling.
3 years ago I saw a flicker of potential that could help me to give my family more. More freedom, more money, more happiness, more time together. I didn't know how in the world I could do it, but every ounce of me was saying go for this opportunity. While my plate was already full. I was teaching full time. I was taking graduate classes, I had a home and family to take care of and had very little help at home since we have no family around, I still felt like I wanted to take on the adventure.
I worked my tail off for three years. I stayed up late and woke up early. I juggled a lot. I sacrificed a lot. I said no to mindless TV after my kid went to bed and no to so many other things so that I could work hard to build "this thing." I started to chase something I knew that wasn't out of reach. I started to chase the dream of being a work from home mom. My job as a coach aligned with all of my passions. I used to teach business education. I was studying leadership and I loved to create content to teach to others.
While I don't have a classroom anymore I am still doing everything that I love except from a different lense. One that allows me to be home with my son and my baby on the way. One that requires yoga pants instead of stilettos on a day to day basis and one that makes me happier than I ever have been and most importantly one that allows me to be more present for my family.
I made a choice to leave behind my job in education to be a full time beachbody coach. Was it an easy choice? No it was not. In fact it was one of the hardest ones I had ever made, but looking back almost a year later from turning in my letter of resignation I know this opportunity was put in my life for a reason and that God has me right where I am supposed to be right now.
Coaching has given me a platform to make in impact. To share my story and my struggles with others. To inspire some and to give hope to people who are standing where I once was. It has brought people into my life who I have been able to form friendships with that I never would have known had it not been for this. It has given me the opportunity to travel a TON, to grow as a leader, to be healthier and most of all happier.
I will never regret the decision I made to be a coach. EVER. My life is forever changed because of this and yours could be too.
I watched my coach for a long time before I ever considered joining. At first she made me crazy because I wasn't in a place where she was when it came to my own health and fitness .Then I looked a little harder and realized deep down I wanted what she had. I wanted to be healthy. I wanted the freedom to stay home with my family and I wanted the financial freedom to create a life that a teachers salary just can't provide you with. So I went all in.
I would love it if you would do the same. Stop watching me. Stop saying how lucky I am. Stop saying it will never work for you. Just say I am willing to try. That's all I did. I showed up. I worked hard and I believed if she could do it should could I.
I would love to show you how I did it. If coaching is something that interests you, I would encourage you to fill out this application. I will be in touch about getting you enrolled in my next mentoring group.
