“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievements.”
Guys this May was my eighth Coaching anniversary. EIGHT YEARS makes me a dinosaur in this industry HOWEVER at the same time I honestly feel like I’m just getting started.
Know the thoughts that have run through my head in those 8 years? Yeah I know the thought of being inside my brain is terrifying BUT I’ll give ya a snippet…
*“Who would want to do this with me when there’s 400K other options”
*“If it hasn’t happened yet, maybe it won’t”
*“I am way too old to do this”
*“I talk about coaching too much”
*“I KNOW people think this is silly”
And my favorite…
Maybe I need to lose weight and then I’ll be successful.
All of that is BS and want to know how I know? Because I am a fucking amazing coach. I may not be the fastest advancing coach BUT I still DID it in my own way; with authenticity, a few f bombs and a mission to serve that is so strong it keeps me up at night. And honestly there is so much more to come.
And with the physical things - well I saw with my own eyes; ladies of EVERY age, background, shape and experience that are showing up. Doing the things and creating a life that almost seems impossible - until I decide I am worthy and capable. I am well aware that ALL of those negative things need to be replaced by POSITIVE language.
*My people will find me. They will want to live that 80/20 lifestyle - “Grind & Unwind” am I right?
*Everything is happening exactly as it should be. I may be on the 30 year plan but that plan and my inability to quit anything (except BS) will ensure I DO actually make it.
*I will spend ALL of the second half of my life reminding other ladies they are perfect just the way they are.
*Being obsessed with people bettering their lives could never be too much. If it is they can hit the Unfollow button (but it’s ok, I’ll be ready with open arms whenever you want to come back)
*Know whats really silly? Having an opportunity with something that fills my cup and NOT doing it for fear of what OTHER people (who don’t pay my bills may think?). I mean this gig may be unconventional but I think working our entire lives doing something that doesn’t set your soul on fire (OR allow for a pretty Cush life) you’re not doing it right. This does both.
I needed this in person energy more than ever before and I will put it into the universe that I am 100% certain I was put on this planet to coach ladies through this mindset work. Beachbody and coaching is SO much more than fitness - it’s about realizing life is entirely too short to feel inadequate to your own inner mean girl or even worse someone else?!?! It’s about figuring out exactly what you want to do and going after it - and maybe that means small steps at first BUT you can’t get to the destination if you don’t start, right?
So long story short - if you’ve been in this place where you’re frustrated with where you’re at but have no idea what to do about it just START and taking 30 mins a day to move your body, working on that mindset and just remind yourself how WILDLY capable you are of ANYTHING you put some work into is a great first step.
To bring it full circle - these steps, across this stage are for the girl who had the courage to start in 2014, for the girl who continued when life got really hard, for the girl that realized now when things seem to be the hardest and she can’t seem to get her shit together realizing that she is actually becoming the girl who is just getting freaking started. And I will continue to show up knowing that the people who are meant to join her in changing her life and the lives of everyone she comes in contact with are out there reading this and will someday BLOW THEIR OWN FREAKING MINDS because where you’re going is EVEN better than you can imagine at this moment. And THAT girl will write something very freaking similar (and Ill be in the front row cheering her on cuz #HypeGirl is my favorite title besides mom).
(And then we’ll share a few seltzers because ya’ll KNOW I do that too!)
