Are You Fulfilled?

I was lucky enough to spend the last 4 days with my beautiful family enjoying this view from the gulf-front cottage we rented.  

Our days were spent, swimming, playing games, relaxing and laughing. Lots and lots of laughing. The weather was perfect. Sunshine with a constant breeze during the day, and thunderstorms rolling in late afternoon to make a perfectly cozy transition to evening.

I have so much gratitude for this life I have been given, and reminded myself on several occasions while there on the sandy shore how grateful I am for the free-spirited life we are creating for our family.

I know network marketing has a bad name. Many automatically think of the words "Pyramid Scheme" upon hearing of network marketing opportunities. You think of expensive "kits" to purchase, or sales minimums.  You might picture trying to sell overpriced products that really aren't anything special.

I know that's what I thought.

Here's a fun fact. I used to have a rule for myself that I would not attend at home parties. I DID NOT like the idea of a get together with the expectation to make a purchase of something I really didn't even want at the end. I DO NOT like buying things unless they are worth their value (in my opinion of course.) I didn't even want to pick the least expensive thing to buy to support a friend. Maybe I sound like a dick, but if you agree to go to all of those parties, that shit adds up, and you end up with a bunch of stuff you never even wanted in the first place! So it was easier for me to just make a blanket rule that I don't do those types of things. Here's another fact. Many years ago a neighbor of ours was considering becoming a Beachbody coach. I told him that it was garbage, a scam, and that he should steer clear.  I hope he disregarded my negativity, and I hope he is as happy as I am now.

I NEVER in a million years thought I myself would become a Beachbody Coach,  become  quite successful with it and most importantly develop a PASSION for it!

So why do I love it so much?

- I am in the best shape of my life and have made exercise and eating well my lifestyle
- I love the products. The workouts are challenging yet effective. The Shakeology has incredible health benefits and is delicious. Because of this, I was able to lose 30 lbs and gain strength and confidence. This is the first and only time I have found a system that works, and that I LOVE.
- I am a part of a beautiful, incredible community of likeminded people. I have made lifelong friends.
- I get to help others find health. It is insanely fulfilling knowing that I have assisted someone in becoming healthier.
- I have learned to become a leader. I love helping my team of coaches build businesses of their own. I have an incredible team, and love the bond we share. I will stop at nothing to help them succeed.
- I am making a great living from home, working whenever and wherever I choose. I have complete and total freedom.
- I have become a better person.
- I don't have to be a sales person. It is NOT my plan to annoy people into buying things. I don't have any slick tactics up my sleeve. I simply share my genuine love for what I am doing and help others do the same. BEST JOB EVER!
- Luckily we don't host parties or have to buy kits. Nothing against them...they're just not my thing!
- I work for an amazing company who gives to charity often, who believes in the greater good, who's mission is to help others find success and happiness in every form. There is opportunity to earn all expense paid vacations and incredible bonuses. They provide the potential to earn an unbelievable income. I've matched my income that took me 8 years to earn as a 911 operator.


I am so lucky that my gut feeling was stronger than my skepticism. I am so glad that I've always trusted my intuition. If I hadn't listened to that whisper, I wouldn't be here, working from home with my 2 beautiful kids. I wouldn't have had the freedom to take 3 on a whim vacations in the past 3 months. I'd still be out of shape and exhausted, stressed and unfulfilled. I'd still have to leave my sweet family drive to work in rush hour traffic to a job that made my blood pressure rise.

Are you fulfilled? Are you truly satisfied with your life?

I ask this not to convince you that this is the way to happiness. I ask because it is my hope that anyone who takes the time to read this will really consider if they are satisfied with their life, and if not, I hope that this might be the catalyst for some of you to really understand that you have other options. Society has a really great way of convincing us that there are very few options in life. We often stick with what's safe and predictable. You can make your own way. This is YOUR life, after all. Shouldn't YOU be the one who decides how your time is spent?

Coaching is an incredible opportunity for the right person. I am on a mission to find those kindred spirits out there to join me on my mission to build an empire of strong, inspiring, motivated, beautiful souls to take on the task of changing lives, beginning with their very own.

I'm looking for a certain type of person. Intuitive and goal oriented. Unafraid to be vulnerable. Kind and good humored. Quirky and fun. Someone who is ready for change, and bold enough to take a leap of faith. It's OK if the idea of that leap scares the shit out of you. Shaking up your life will do that. I need people who are brave. I want believers.

This may sound specific. You're right. It is! I have a vision for my team.

I am in the process of creating some pretty fantastic training material for my team. I'd love to have a select few new coaches to mentor with this new material.

If you think this just might be that thing that you're looking for, please fill out this application so that I may learn a little bit more about you. My team has a "sneak peek into coaching" group coming up June 8th, in which you can learn a bit more about coaching with no obligation/no pressure.   I will be selecting 5 new coaches by June 15th to add to our amazing team and personally mentor. You will have all access to my new training material, and I will help you every step of the way to learn the ropes of this crazy coaching opportunity.

To learn more, please fill out this application and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Let's talk about FREEDOM

I was spending some time today going through my photos on my phone, because I needed to delete some to make room for more.

I loved reliving all of the recent memories while I scanned through the pictures..and was really happy to be reminded that WE DO A LOT OF FUN STUFF!

This picture was taken on a date with my son at Busch Gardens. I love the look of happiness on his face.

I love that, because of coaching, I have the freedom to make SO many memories with my children.

I was at a park yesterday with Junie, having a little picnic, and I got a bit teary. I remembered sitting at that SAME park when I was working at 911, watching other stay at home mamas living a carefree, fun life with their kiddos. Meanwhile, I was feeling hurried and rushed, anticipating my night shift at work that evening. I remember telling myself that something had to give. I knew there was an answer, but I didn't know what.

If you would have told me that the answer was in Network Marketing I would have laughed in your face and told you what a scam that garbage was. I'm a natural skeptic. It's not a good trait, but I've always had the mentality that if something seems too good to be true, there must be a catch.

I believe fate drew me here. Somehow, I decided to give it a chance. I was still VERY skeptical, and still believed that this probably wouldn't be the ticket to my freedom, but I couldn't deny that "WHY NOT ME?" feeling that I had. The only investment I had to make was for my OWN workout program/Shakeology. I'd researched the program enough to know that people were getting real results, and I desperately wanted to get back in shape. I figured, even if this coaching thing IS a scam, at least I might get in shape trying.

Well, as you can see I am still here. A successful, happy, confident, healthy, fit, coach, working at home, living a life of freedom, making memories with my family, living a life by design.

I DID get in shape. I lost 30 lbs, and have made fitness my lifestyle.
I DID leave my job. Only 4 months into my coaching career.
I HAVE FOUND MY PASSION AND PURPOSE
in helping others achieve their health and fitness goals, and helping my team..my beautiful, wonderful team, find their freedom too.

This opportunity that is Beachbody coaching is a gift. A crazy, wonderful gift that is transforming SO MANY LIVES.

I want to continue to build my tribe by sharing this gift with the right people. I want to find those others out there that are meant to be on my team, so that I can give them all of the tools to help them find the success that I have found and that is possible through coaching.

Here are a few things you need to know.

If you want to join my team, you will be required to start your OWN journey with a challenge pack. Why? Because you need to invest in your own health in order to inspire others.

You have to be willing to share your journey candidly. It's gonna be scary at first, but you will inspire others, and it will feel AMAZING.

You have to set aside time for personal development. You will continually grow as a person as a coach on my team. Frankly, this has been one of the greatest practices I have incorporated into my life, and I am grateful for this requirement.

If you think you can handle those 3 basic requirements, and feel a little spark from this post, let's chat.

I am not going to try to convince you to do this. I don't have any slick tactics, haha. If you need convincing, this won't work for you. I am looking for people that can decide for themselves, have a vision for their lives, and believe that this could be THE THING that can get them there. Then, after learning more about how this works, develop a PASSION and can't be stopped. I don't WANT to drag people along. I put a lot into helping my coaches, and am looking for people who want this so badly they can taste it...so you can rest assured that if you reach out to me with curiosity and questions, I will answer every single question you have, tell you everything you want to know, maybe ask you a few questions to see if you'd be good for my team, and then we can decide together if this is a good fit for you. If not? NO SWEAT! NO PRESSURE. NONE. If you don't want this, it won't work!

I have a challenge group starting 5/25 if you'd like to begin with your own journey to health. The last day to register is 5/19 (Tomorrow)

I'm glad to set aside some time Monday for anyone who'd like to chat with me about joining my team. If something in this post speaks to you, by all means, reach out to me!

I shudder to think about where I'd be if I didn't reach out to my coach a year and a half ago. Still stressed. Still out of shape. Still exhausted. Still working nights and holidays away from my beautiful children.

I had that gut feeling and chose to listen to it.

Message me if you're having one too.

Hey sweet friends!

I'm in a giving mood.

Why? Because I know it's fun to get stuff, but even MORE fun to give stuff, and for me it's the MOST fun to help people find health.

SO, here's a nice little incentive. I like incentives and deals, and I'll bet you do too.

Register for my next challenge with a challenge pack (which includes SO much value already.. your workout program, nutrition plan, a month's supply of Shakeology and ME as your coach) by 4/15 and I will give you a choice of either:

A $15 Target Gift Card

*OR*

4 packets of either Greenberry or Chocolate Shakeology (or a mixture of both flavors)

Sign up for Shakeology monthly by 4/15 and I will give you either:

A $10 Target giftcard

*OR*

2 packets of either Greenberry or Chocolate Shakeology or a combo of both

Here's the deal. I have had conversations with MANY beautiful people out there, and I know there are many more that have been watching my journey, waiting for the right time to jump.

I WANT TO HELP YOU. I want you to feel ALIVE again! I want you feeling energized and strong, healthy and vibrant. Positive and confident.

There's no time like now.

Take this offer as the sign you've been waiting for. I'm not even going to limit how many can receive this offer. I want to help you all.

Comment below if you want IN!

Hey mama!

I know you're exhausted. 

It's SO hard to go to work every day when your heart is at home. You may have loved your job before your precious little one was born, but now you realize home is where you're meant to be.

You live for the weekends and time off, but it all goes by too quickly.

At your job, you're never quite present. Always wondering what's happening at home. Worried that you might miss a milestone. Watching the clock, counting down the minutes until you can be where you belong.

I know how this feels because I felt the same way for entirely too long. I felt trapped by my job, because it was stable and secure. It provided a good insurance plan. We didn't have enough income for me to leave. It was just what I HAD to do. You go to work..."no one loves working" you think..."it's normal to dread every work day".. so you just suck it up and make the best of it, accepting this as your life.

Of course, I KNOW this isn't true for everyone...but right now I am speaking to those of you that DO feel this way...and I know there are many.

I have a wish for you.

Stop living a life that you don't love.

This is your only chance. Your one shot.

Those moments are fleeting.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE!

You CAN change it. YOU CAN! Don't let society's rules and standards decide for you. Don't let fear decide for you. Let your heart and passion lead the way!

I know it sounds so super simple when I say it that way.

You know why? It is!

You know what you have to do to change your path? You just have to make a decision and JUMP.

You know why I posted this photo with this message?

Because that's a picture of me and my beautiful son on a TUESDAY afternoon on a vacation that was booked, on a whim, 3 days prior.

Do you know how FREE it feels to be able to do that? I cried about a thousand times on that little trip because I am finally living my dream.

My wish for you is that you'll find that freedom soon. That you'll muster up the courage to chase your dreams and choose to follow your heart.

It's SO much easier than you think.

HERE'S THE LINK  to request to be added to the Sneak Peek group

Looking forward to the next training! Can't wait to watch some more beautiful mamas transform their lives!

I have a big crush on old Shasta camper trailers.

A trailer for our travels out west is one of my vision board items. I can just see our set up now, lights strung from our pop up screen room, gorgeous views, campfire blazing, treasure hunting with the kids, lots of laughs and dirty fingernails...grilling up healthy eats under an open sky.

Living a life of financial freedom that will come from this incredible coaching opportunity will offer us the ability to travel across the country, soaking in all of the natural wonders we've yet to see. Best part is, I'll be able to take my work wherever we go!

I could pinch myself every day.

Is this really my life?

I spent SO many years feeling unfulfilled when it came to my job.

Working on someone else's terms. Stressed, forced to wake up early or go to bed late. Missing precious moments with my kids.

We've been conditioned to think that there's just one way. Work a stable full time job that provides insurance and pension. Do your time. Invest your whole life in it so that you can (hopefully) one day retire. You get 3 months off with your newborn. That's it. Then back to the grind. You're told when you can eat. When you can go on vacation. One week a year! That just never sat well with me. I never loved any of the jobs in the past, and I just wasn't ok with living the majority of my life doing something I dreaded every day.

I wanted to enjoy life NOW. 

NOW is all we have. I didn't want to wait until I was at retirement age to finally taste freedom...who even knows if you're guaranteed freedom then? 

Will your stressful job allow you to enter retirement age with health and vigor? Maybe your stress is already taking a toll on your health...This is your LIFE! You've gotta live it on YOUR terms!

Now here I sit, on my porch in this gorgeous weather, my children playing in the yard. This is my office today. My job is helping others find health. I'm helping others fulfill their dreams of freedom too, so that they can enjoy life NOW.

I want so much to help others see that they CAN have this too! 

Yes it takes time.
Yes it takes hard work and dedication
Yes it takes a positive, determined attitude.
Yes it takes self motivation

It takes belief.
it takes willingness to step outside of your comfort zone
It takes consistency.

You must be ready to take control of your life and health.

YOU CAN'T GIVE UP

I have another sneak peek into coaching next month. You can learn ALL of the details about what we do as coaches and what it takes to become a coach. it's held in a group on Facebook. 

Be on the lookout for the date here soon.

If you'd like to be on the waiting list, let me know!
