May our kids be our REASON, not our EXCUSE.
I gave Shakeology and the Beachbody workouts a try in the first place because we started the conversation about having a family and I knew everything that had been “good enough” up until that point wasn’t going to cut it anymore.
I said yes to the business side because my dream was always to be a stay at home mom. I knew business models like this you can fit into any schedule, but the key is consistency and patience. And I figured health and fitness was something I could be consistent and patient with, since I want that for the rest of my life. I didn’t actually have plans for it to completely replace my full-time income (which it has) - I just needed it to make $400 a month.
But now I stick with it all because I know that I am a better version of myself. I have something that is for me that relieves stress, that helps me feel good inside and out, that keeps me connected with other women in a positive way, and that makes it easier mentally and physically to keep up with this cutie!
And as he gets older, I want to continue to model the type of person that I hope he grows into: someone who seeks Jesus, who isn’t afraid of challenges or of failing, and who takes care of his body not out of shame or guilt but because it’s the fun thing to do!
If it’s not enough motivation to do it for YOU (which honestly I hope that’s enough because you are worth taking care of) - then do it for THEM ❤️

Everyone would rather pay more and make the "right" decision than pay less and make a mistake.
It's why I someone will tell me what I love is too expensive, and then go pay 10x that for a studio or trainer or Peloton or WHATEVER they believe will get them what they are looking for.
And I get it. I really do because I was there!
Skeptical.
Hesitant.
So many reason why I shouldn't spend the money on myself.
And I don't know if you are going to have the same amazing experience I have had 🤔
I do know that if you don't, you can get your money back within 30 days🤗
But what I AM certain of is my own findings: that this was the furthest thing from a mistake!!
I would have said pre-Beachbody that I had my own thing that was working. Yet following Beachbody programs my workouts got shorter, I got better results, and I didn't have to use the mental energy to figure out what I "felt like" doing and trying to motivate myself to push hard with something I was making up.
It took me a while to figure out how to get the texture right with Shakeology and I had to work through some initial bloating/gas as my body adjusted to the dense nutrients. But after that my gut health radically shifted, my energy levels throughout the day increased, and I had something to satisfy my sweet tooth that was healthier than ANYTHING else I was consuming.
And finally - support. You get out what you put in. So I leaned into the community my coach had, I created my own soon after, and I started showing up on social media even though I had no idea what I was doing 🤪
Now I feel stronger and more confident than I ever have. I had peace through my miscarriage that there was literally nothing I could have done differently. I had a rocking pregnancy with Jack, and post partum wasn't nearly as difficult as it could have been. Leaning in to the business side and everything that's come with that is ICING ON THE CAKE.
But is started with me deciding that I trusted my friends who said Beachbody was awesome. So here I am, like Aladin on my magic carpet with my hand outstretched, asking...do you trust me? Give it 30 days. For reals though, what do you have to lose!?

Helpful things:
- A brain dump each morning of the things I need to do or remember (including writing quotes I might want to post later) and if something pops in my head getting it down right away
- If I know I won’t get to something on my list today I put a line through it, giving myself permission to intentionally save it for tomorrow. It’s so much more satisfying than leaving boxes unchecked!
- If something isn’t for this week, setting a reminder in my phone that will alert me when I actually need to remember it
- Don’t wait to do something I can do now in 3 minutes or less. So many things that tend to weigh on me, I can bust out SO fast if I just DO IT: text a friend, unload the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, put on some music, refill my water, tell my hubby something nice 😉
- Minimize the things that are purely for distraction. I deleted all games from my phone. And I have a rule for myself that if I’m looking at social media - I need to actually be social and comment, not mindlessly scroll and double tap (let me tell you, if you implement this you will spend far less time on here!)
SAVE for later when you need the reminder!

Yesterday was an anniversary 🤍
The anniversary of saying yes to something that was unknown and a little scary and has changed my world.
The anniversary of being intentional with my time, my health, my mindset, my friendships, and how I want to live out my faith in everything that I do.
FOUR years ago I became a coach, which is kind of like a Beachbody brand rep + professional community creator + personal cheerleader + mindset growth enthusiast + intentional living advocate.
I had no idea what this thing {that started as a side hobby to feel a little better and share what I was trying} would become. But if you have been following my for any amount of time I think you have learned it's brought a girl gang, so much strength/confidence, income that has surpassed my previous full-time job, travel, a morning routine I crave, passion, and a way to live out my purpose. Oh yeah, and a whole lot of JOY!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sent a kind word, given an encouraging message, or joined me on this journey.
And for those who think "I could never do that" but wish you could I am here to tell you that YOU CAN. I am where I'm at because of four years of learning, growing, consistency, and pursuit of what matters to me.
I had been watching my friend for over a year and a half before I got started. And one day back in 2017 something clicked: WHY. NOT. ME.
So why not YOU!?
I'd be delighted to chat more with you - send me that awkwardly random DM and I promise it will make my day!
Beachbody doesn’t guarantee any level of income. It’s based on each coach’s level of diligence, effort, and skill.

People tend to overestimate what can be done in one year and underestimate what can be done in five or ten years.
MY ADVICE:
Do what you can today, in the season of life you are in and with the resources you have. Let yourself dream big and know that you can do anything, but you can't do everything. Let go of the things you can't control and things that you cannot change - which includes things that happened in the past. Control what you can, like your attitude, your gratitude, your effort, your self-talk, and what you do with your free time.

The feels of finishing a program and being able to check off that last box 😭💪🏼🎉
I started following programs because I was tired of doing it on my own.
I felt skeptical because I didn't want to get my hopes up.
After finishing my first program I realized I had stumbled across something amazing.
Today I finished my 19th full program (not to mention the multiple mini-programs along the way when I just needed a quick week-long challenge!)
What helped was that I was the fact that I wasn't doing it on my own - because everything is better together.
Now I feel unstoppable. I don't have an ounce of doubt when I start a program that I will finish, NO MATTER what life throws my way because they are no longer something I "should" do, but something I love doing!
I'd love for you to do this with me ❤️
Let's take you from skeptical to unstoppable!!

If this little dude comes to be and wants to be on a team someday, I'll do my darndist (that's now a word) to say ABSOLUTELY! I want to give him opportunities to learn and grow and make friends and be part of something.
There will be costs for gear and travel and all the things that come with being part of a team, but if the cost to be on the team itself was only $16/mo, I'm pretty sure I'd wonder who messed up the paperwork 😆
Did you know it cost $16/mo to be on my team? Beachbody corporate picked the amount, but I fully stand behind it. Sure - when you sign up as a coach you get a discount on products (that typically saves you more than $16), opportunity for prizes and trips and whatever level of income you are willing to work for. But you also get the TEAM!!
And like any team, if you don't show up for any practices, games, or do anything the coach suggests - I doubt you will get much out of it. BUT WHEN YOU LEAN IN...oh my goodness those friendships, that support, and being seen and understood and wanted...I couldn't put an amount on that! And I can say that 2021 has already thrown some curveballs to my team and we are stronger for it ❤️
I remember my mindset when I first signed up.
That $16/mo to be part of my coach's team took some thought.
But back to Jack - $16 for him to be on a team!? DONE. No extra thought.
Can we please remember that even though we are adults WE. STILL. MATTER.
Maybe you have kiddos. Maybe you don't.
Maybe you grew up on teams. Maybe you didn't.
Maybe $16 seems like a lot to you. Maybe it's the tax on your frequent Target run.
But do you love Jesus, know that you want all of your life to glorify Him, and believe life is best lived with other people? If yes, you belong here!
Also if the Sonics ever come back to Washington, Jack will be ready 😂

I love surrounding myself with women who want to level up their life, because it inspires me to do the same!
Are you one of my people?? Or better question, could you be!?

I've been there.
A good day is a productive day in my mind.
But pretty soon that can take over and the thought of sitting and doing nothing seems like failure. Honestly I have learned that while sitting and watching my son play. It's hard to admit because I love being a mom, but when he is playing well on his own I feel like I HAVE to get things done instead of just sit and be there and be with him 😟
My addiction to hurry and productivity robs me of the joy of the little things when I don't keep it in check.
So I am ripping off this badge of being superwoman (or supermom) and giving it back! I don't need to do all the things. I don't need to be all the things. And I don't expect you to either.
I will be intentional with my time - ALL OF IT:
When I am working I am going to work hard.
When I am resting I am going to rest well.
When I am with someone I want them to feel like the most important person in the world.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way??

84% of Americans believe enjoying yourself is the highest goal of life. When truly our ultimate purpose is bringing glory to God and finding satisfaction in him ❤️
First you have to figure out what you TRULY believe is the goal of life, because everything else you do and think will stem from that!

We see an average of 4k advertisements per day, all promising to fulfill the desires that are in our hearts. We come to Instagram and see pictures where everyone looks happy and whole, leaving us wanting another's life and discontent with our own.
You know what it is at the core?
We have a very real and very active enemy who wants to disorder our desires!
He wants to aim our desires at creation itself, which is limited, so we are left always wanting more. Instead our desires were always meant to be towards our unlimited God - knowing His heart, living His way, and experiencing His kingdom life HERE AND NOW (at least in part - we will experience it in full once our time on Earth is done!)
I say all this because I love this picture from my team retreat, but I know it could be a picture that triggers that. It would have for me. Because if you are anything like me you want to be seen, known, loved - to have things in common with other women and have fun experiences including photoshoots that make you feel beautiful ❤️
Do I want you to break out of complacency and take action to build a life you love and that honors God?! YOU BET. Would I love for that to be with me so that I can guide and mentor you and we can go on these trips together in the future? OH YEAH!! 🙌🏼🎉🌴💃🏻
But I also want to be very clear that as much as I LOVE what I do with coaching and have to pinch myself that it's my job, it is not what truly fills the desires of my heart. Only Jesus does that. And in turn I believe He has led me here to this opportunity. But He is and always will be first!!

“If you don’t love where you are right now, it’s not going to matter where you go from here.”
You KNOW I want you to thrive. I want you to be happy, healthy, confident, in step with the Spirit, and have freedom to build a life you love.
But sister: accept where you are right now and be grateful for this place you are in - with any trials, joys, challenges, and uncertainty it may hold!
Today is the day you have been given and you aren't promised tomorrow!
I don't say this because I want you to stop chasing your dreams. I don't say this because I want you to have another excuse to pause being the person you were made to be. But I DO know that contentment and gratitude can do more for our lives than we give credit to! But contentment...not complacency sis ❤️ There is a big difference!
