It was THREE years ago when I scrolling Facebook and saw a group of girls jumping in the pool in Florida. They said they were “coaches”
They said they helped people get healthy and made an income..
They said they get to travel…
They looked healthy and happy..

And here I was..

Sitting on a couch with a 6 month old, spit up on my shirt, trying to get passed this post party depression…
And I thought “omg I NEED this. I don’t know what they are doing but I NEED this in my life.”

Because when you are a mom (or just a woman in general) sometimes you feel like you don’t have your tribe…
You need a little more in your life to feel whole..

And it was that EXACT moment, sitting in my laundry piled up house that I told my husband I was going to be a coach. I was going to be a fitness influencer. I was going to work on my own journey while helping others with theirs.

And here I am, on my THIRD retreat, and this time I was hosting it! I was able to treat my team to all inclusive retreat where they could mastermind, meet people, laugh, dance, relax, eat and drink the night away and soak in how amazing this life is that we create for ourselves. 

We started off the retreat with a gift to each coach. Everyone got into their matching new PJs and we introduced ourselves and did a mug exchange. We laughed, we cried and we talked about what brought us to this opportunity. Every story was different, but every story had meaning. There were moms, single ladies, teachers, nurses, they were in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and all had different lives but everyone came into this because they wanted to help people and saw an amazing business opportunity. 

We started the days off with LIVE workouts, we had breakfasts cooked for us, we lounged by the pool, we had trainings, we did whatever we wanted to do that would fill our cup. 

The last night was pretty magical. We talked all weekend about our vision for ourselves and we put that on paper by creating vision boards. It’s one thing to think up your vision, it’s even more powerful to put that vision on paper. 

We then had everyone come together and participate in “Stand Up for your Sister” where everyone stood up for someone else who had something negative in their life.

This was such a moving part of the night. To realize that we are all in this together and when things get hard or you think you are alone, we all have each others back. 

And then we lit floating lanterns and watched them fly off.

It was perfect for the theme of this retreat. One lantern shines but light a bunch of lanterns together and they shine so much brighter. 

That to me is what coaching and this opportunity is all about. Being surrounded by like minded women who support you. 

We shine fine alone but together, with a team and support, we can shine and make a BIGGER impact in this world. 

Why not shine with us??

We are ALREADY planning our next retreat.

How do you sum up an amazing weekend away?

You don’t.

When you have such an incredible weekend that changes your life, fills your cup, fuels you up, and inspires you…. you can’t simply sum that up. Because, these are moments that stick with you forever and are the moments that make you look back and be proud of all you have accomplished. 

BUT, I can tell you what this weekend meant to me and what we did…… but to get the true effect, you have to be there 😉 

So, this past weekend, I gathered my team together and we met in Indianapolis, Indiana for our annual COACH Summit. 

Summit is where all coaches come together to celebrate, to do live workouts, to talk new goals, to get motivate and to most of all inspire eachother to continue to live healthier, happier lives. 

The day we go there we met and received our medals and ribbons for a year’s worth of work. We met some of each other for the first time, we hugged, we squealed, we acted like we had known eachother our whole lives! 

We all dressed up and went to our opening ceremony. This can be super exciting for the moms like me who wear yoga pants and a ponytail at home 90% of the time. So dressing up with your friends and being recognized feels amazing. 

The next morning, we did a PRIVATE workout with celebrity fitness trainer Chris Downing. Nothing beats working out LIVE with the super trainer you workout with in the morning in your home. 

We were able to attend private trainings and hear from amazing guest speakers. By the end of this, the team had pages and pages of notes to take home. 

One of my favorite parts of this event is the SUPER workout in the middle of the street. The streets are shut down, music is playing, it is still dark out when people are walking up to the event and we all get together to workout to ALL of the super trainers. It is a HUGE mashup workout! 

At the end of this, we celebrate at the closing ceremony. The winners of the transformations are announced (which always has me in tears). We celebrate everyone’s success and end with my team on stage. 

This event inspires me every single year. I am beyond proud of my team, I am proud of myself and I am proud of this whole company. 

We continue to blow our goals out of the water. To be apart of a company and to be a “coach” in helping other people acheive healthy and fulfilling lives is beyond incredible. 

This weekend was about my team… and there is no where else I would rather be then celebrating them and this opportunity we have been given. 

How can you come next year??

You just come. You take a leap of faith, you join in the top team, you get under our wings and we take you with us for the BEST TRIP EVER!

 

 

 

Last week I went on the most amazing trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico!

Here is the best part: It was a FREE vacation. A FREE EARNED vacay. And the even better part? I got to take my husband! I got to treat my husband to a trip to the beach. Nothing feels better than being able to give back to your husband. For all that he has pushed me and supported me on this journey, going on this trip with him meant everything!

We arrived to Mexico and took a private shuttle to the Hard Rock hotel. We then were greeted by music, food and drinks. We checked in and they also gave us a $750 resort credit! We used that on golfing and spa days! The spa was seriously amazing. I have NEVER had a massage so good!

I was lucky enough that my friend and success partner got to come with me on this trip! She also earned her trip so we both got to treat our husbands! We also met up with other friends that we have made along the way. I have met the BEST people since joining in on this journey. We had fancy dinners, we went to the pools, we went to the beach, we were all over the place! We went to a foam party – we danced, we went to an opening reception that was catered JUST for the coaches of Beachbody!

We did LIVE workouts with celebrity workout trainers every morning!! It was so awesome to be there with these trainers. Every morning, I see them on my tv at home and now they were there in person pushing us to keep going!

We went to trainings, we did some business and then we enjoyed the rest of our trip!

So, How did I earn this trip?

I committed myself to helping 3-5 people a month. I said that I would continue my fitness journey and bring people with me. This past year, I made it my goal to help people feel better about their bodies!

Can YOU earn a trip like this?

ABSOLUTELY! For YEARS, I sat around watching other coaches go on these types of trips, wondering if that could EVER be me. I started saying, “why NOT me?” And then I changed my perspective and pushed myself!

Anything you want in life is possible. ANYTHING! You just get up, you make the decision to do what it takes to get there, and you DO IT!

My team is currently opening up spots for our next coach training and you are welcome to join in on the fun!!

If you would have told me two years ago that when I first decided to be a coach {only joined for the discount at first}, that I would be TREATING a team full of leading women to a PRIVATE retreat in Deep Creek, MD…. I would have thought you were crazy!

I had no plans to grow a business, no plans to become a top team, no plans to change this many lives.
However, I did have PASSION. I knew I wanted to help other women feel good in their skin. I wanted to help other mommas love their post baby bodies and embrace it. I wanted to help women find their REASON for putting themselves first every now and then.

And by simply having that PASSION, I have been able to successfully lead an amazing team of amazing, driven men and women. {It’s not all women over here 😉 }.

So to treat my team, I put together a Leadership Retreat where I booked an INCREDIBLE house, with a hot

tub, pool table, many rooms, fireplaces (there were a couple), large kitchen an AMAZING view and brought everyone together to celebrate our amazing job and to continue on being leaders.

Everyone arrived Friday afternoon and they were greeted with some gifts. Personal retreat shirts with all their words of the year, hand made glasses with their word, and some other cute things for them. We had a champagne toast to start the night, had a delicious mexican dinner with margaritas and incredible guacamole. We got to know eachother, laugh, cry, talk, bond…. it was like everyone was instant family.

Saturday morning we woke up and did a workout together then hurried to get dressed and cleaned up so we would be ready for the professional photographer to come and take pictures of everyone. Jessica Fike Photography came and she was simply AMAZING!!!! She made everyone feel so good in their skin. She fit right in with our crowd.

We did trainings, we learned a lot from each other and then we went right back to eating. Everyone brought amazing dishes to share! We then went hiking to Swallow Falls. It was the most amazing view and hike to do together.

All in all we simply bonded. We took this opportunity to really appreciate what coaching as done for us. We were all different. Some had kids, some were married, some didn’t have kids, some weren’t married, some were stay at home moms, some were full time teachers, nurses, nanny’s, vet techs, X-ray techs….. There is no cookie cutter coach. You can be

from any background, you can be whomever you want to be….
You just have a passion for helping others…
And that is what our team is all about.

I loved every minute with the coaches on the retreat and I can’t wait to spoilthem again.

And the best part??
Our team is GROWING!
There is enough success to go around for everyone.
YOU can do this too.

 

Why NOT you?

 

 

From the girl who couldn’t walk into a room by herself, to the girl who jet setting across the world, across the county and is off living her dream.

That girl is me.

Two years ago, I joined in on this amazing journey as a health and fitness coach. I knew I wanted to help people love their bodies as I was learning to love my own.

I didn’t know much about what I was joining into except that their mission was to help others achieve a healthy and fulfilling life.

And every single person I saw who was doing the same thing looked SO DARN HAPPY.

Happiness? Helping? Income?

SIGN. ME. UP.

So here I am two years later writing this blog as I am on an airplane back to my family and all I feel right now is BLESSED.

I can’t believe that I was able to travel from one coast to another and have been INVITED to an exclusive event in Los Angeles, California.

This was the New Leader Conference where I was able to meet up with my coaching besties, mingle, eat, drink and celebrate our accomplishments.

We arrived and were able to tour of our headquarters. We were treated to an amazing hotel. (Seriously, isn’t that every mom’s dream to have a quiet room to herself and a big bed with no one else in it?) YES!!!

My friends and I also had the opportunity to hike to the Hollywood sign. (Seriously, most amazing hike.) And then went to Rodeo drive and explored a bit. 

We had an opening reception, we met with other leaders, we bonded, we met a celebrity trainer, we worked out with a celebrity trainer in a private workout, we ate great food, we were treated to dinner, lunch, champagne, presents… pretty much everything that would excite you!

I will say the best part of the whole trip was being around the people that I have come to meet who have become best friends. We all share the same passions, the same goals, we want to help others and be successful.

I can’t imagine why ANYONE would not want to do this!

It is literally the best job EVER!

Imagine all the opportunities you could have by simply making ONE decision to start believing in YOURSELF!

So if you took the time to read this…
And a little part of you got excited..
A little part of you got passionate…
A little part of you saw the potential within you…

Think to yourself….. Why NOT me? Why can’t I do this same exact thing?

Because you CAN!

My next coach training is enrolling and you are invited to join in on this amazing venture.

My full circle moment. The moment that I was standing on stage at the Pittsburgh Super Saturday last weekend and I was telling my story in front of hundreds of people. The moment I conquered every fear that I had and did something that helped me grow as person. The moment that I OWNED my success and stood on stage to train others on doing the same.

What’s this all about, huh? Well, if you aren’t in my little fitness world right now. (But you should be soon 😉 )…. I joined in as a fitness coach two years ago and attended my first ever event. At the event there were parties, inspiring stories, live workouts and a special training. I came into this training and I sat all the way in the back. I heard so many amazing stories that I laughed, cried, and was honestly a little jealous of their success.

These women were happy, successful, fit, running a business with passion and I wanted to be one of them. I turned to my friend, who came with me to the training, and said “Wow, wouldn’t it be cool to be on stage?” And she said “You could totally do that. ” I looked at her like she was crazy. How could I do that? How could a normal, mom of two, who still had weight to lose, become a successful girl boss fitness coach?

EASY!

You do the work. You believe in yourself. You keep going. You trust in the program. You do the trainings. You ask for support. You attend events. You grow yourself. You TAKE ACTION.

Life Rewards Action.

So in that moment, I could have done one of two things. I could have gone back to my room, packed my bags, went home and just dreamed about being a success. OR, I could go to my room, get inspired, think of how I can be successful in my own way and take ACTION.

As you can bet, I took ACTION.
In less than two years, I reached my goals. I earned enough money to be able to stay home more with kids. I replaced my full time income. I helped grow a team and become the TOP coach in Maryland and in the TOP 1% of the company. I helped people lose MORE than 1,000 pounds. (Yep, the world is a lot lighter now). I have earned 3 Success Club All Inclusive Vacations. I have traveled to London because of coaching. I have been on three leaderships retreats, hosted one of my own and I am currently planning my next one.
I have surpassed every goal, every dream, every vision I had and did better than ever expected.

So this was my full circle moment. The moment I stood on stage and PROVED that a “normal” mom of two, with no degree in marketing, no expertise in coaching, no huge following on social media… could actually reach her goals and become the girl on the stage inspiring others.

So, how will YOU take action?

My team is currently enrolling our NEXT rockstar coaches into our New Coach Training. And you have the opportunity to have your own Full Circle Moment.

Why not you? Why not now?

Fill out below and we will get started!!

 

Wow.

It seems like I start every blog with “wow.” But when you are literally “wow’ed” and blown away each time you come back from a “work” trip, you start with exactly how you feel.

I am overly excited, I am passionate, I am happy, I am grateful, I am empowered.

To think that LESS than two years ago I was a depressed mom of two, overweight, knew not much about nutrition and exercise and then to fast forward two years and I am in LONDON representing my team in health and fitness.

Not only that but I was meeting and training the newest coaches who joined in from the U.K. How amazing is that? I absolutely LOVED that the people in the U.K. were so excited to hit the ground running as a coach. They couldn’t wait to learn as much as they could about the business, about helping people and about making a difference.

So, more on this amazing trip….

We flew in, got settled, got dressed and went straight to the champagne bar at the Tower 42 restaurant in London. Talk about jumping right into fancy London life. I was speechless being in there and being at the top floor looking over the city with champagne in hand.

The next day we spent exploring London, eating, drinking, getting to know the culture and of course doing a little business on the side. That was the day coaches could OFFICIALLY sign up and so I was busy helping everyone make sure they were set and ready. {It doesn’t feel like “work” when you are so passionate about it and your JOB is to help other people be successful.}

Friday morning, we got up early, walked to Hyde Park and I co-taught a LIVE workout in the park. I was so nervous to do this workout. I stayed up the night before writing down the routine and replaying it in my head. It wasn’t exactly warm out, the ground was wet but the workout went PERFECT. We were able to do a mashup workout and the fact that we were in London teaching what we teach at home was simply AMAZING. Never in my LIFE did I think I would be teaching in LONDON!

That night we hosted a PRIVATE event at the Dartmouth House in London for our new coaches. We gave incredible trainings, we hugged everyone, had snacks, drinks, laughed and cried. It was an AMAZING event to not just be apart of but to HOST.
The whole trip was incredible.

And what it really boils down to is that it all started with one DECISION. One choice to TRY something, to throw out limiting beliefs, to follow a dream and to put myself FIRST.

It is OK to go for what you want. It is ok to DREAM big. It is ok to start from nothing.

BEACUSE — if you simply go for what you want. You are already doing more than you thought, you are already making that effort, you are already changing your life and you are on

your way to SUCCESS. 

So, why NOT you?

Why not YOU right NOW, right here, at this very moment as you are reading my words.

Why NOT you?

Because the minute I started to say Why NOT ME? …….. My whole life changed.

Fear.

Not fear of the dark or fear of clowns. But real fear.  The fear that is deep rooted within you. The fear that makes butterflies fly in your stomach, the fear that makes your heart pound, the fear that makes you sad, depressed and feel lonely.

Have you had it? Have you had that fear? Yes. I am going to answer it for you. Because we all have that moment in our life when fear overwhelms us. That moment when you question yourself which then creates even MORE fear.

The thing about fear is that you can either embrace it, grow from it and go through it OR you can run from it, you can let it control you and you can let FEAR stop you from reaching your true potential.

A couple months ago this amazing opportunity was presented to me to go to the United Kingdom for my health and fitness coaching. I IMMEDIATELY jumped at the opportunity. I was so excited to travel and do something that I LOVED. THEN – that fear started to come over me. I had the butterflies, the heart pounding, the all alone feeling all at once. And I questioned myself.

I let FEAR dictate how I felt about myself. Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this. Maybe I wasn’t good enough. Maybe this wasn’t a good choice. Maybe now was not the right time. Maybe I needed to be a coach longer. Maybe I needed to meet more people first.

BUT – none of those things were true. I WAS cut out for this. {And even if I wasn’t, how would I know if I didn’t give it a shot?} I WAS good enough. This IS a good choice. NOW was the right time. {If we keep waiting for the “RIGHT” time, we could wait our whole lives.} I didn’t need to be a coach LONGER. My passion is happening RIGHT now. And meeting people? That is the WHOLE point. To travel and meet people.

So, I kicked that FEAR to the curb. I stopped letting it control me and I went for it anyway.

The thing is….. FEAR will halt you sometimes. It will keep you from reaching your full potential… BUT, ONLY if you let it. FEAR will only do what you let it do.
So stand strong, push through the fear, do the things that scare you, do the things that give you butterflies….

Because —

“What you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do. ” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

See you soon, U.K. — I’m coming! 🙂
