REPEAT AFTER ME:

Your happiness is your NUMBER ONE priority!

If there’s anything I’ve learned this year, it’s that mental health and happiness is the core function to our lives & our families lives. If it is not well, we are not well. And if we are not well, our loved ones around us are not well.

I am leaving behind what others think of me. I’m leaving behind the stress and pressure of being what others want me to be. I’m leaving behind the idea that taking a break means I’m not strong.

As an enneagram 3, it’s part of who I am to always be running. I am always on to go, working on something, my gears are always spinning, and I’m always wanting to please everyone.

But sometimes a small moment of peace is just the clarity and release that we need.

My point: find what makes you happy. Find what calms you. Find what fills your cup.

And then GO DO IT ✨

And just for a moment, the whole world stops.

It’s just us. Laughter. Bonding. Girl talk.

I told her about all the times I almost gave up. All the reasons I told myself this wouldn’t work. All time times I wanted to quit.

And how I never wanted that for her. I wanted more.

So here I am- making it happen! Showing her that it’s possible!

29/03/2021

It was just yesterday that I was dreading the Monday morning wake up…

(Or at least it feels like yesterday 🤪)

That “living for the weekend” feeling.
The waking her up at an ungodly hour just to fit everything in.
The look on her face when I handed her over at daycare.
The rushed evenings of dinner, bath, and bedtime routines, just to do it again the next day.
It leaves a pit in your stomach.

I went into my maternity leave excited to get back to the classroom and show all of my students all the cute pictures of my new little bundle of joy. But as the first few weeks went by I started feeling like how was I going to do this? How was I going to drop her off in someone else’s care? How did other people do it?

But I knew in my gut the first week of daycare drop offs that this was not going to be my story.

I was not ready to live the life of working more than 40 hours a week teaching to put a roof over our heads and food on the table to only see this brand new life I created for 2 hours a night. I knew there had to be more.

I wanted more for myself and I wanted more for my daughter. I wanted her to know that I was there no matter when she needed me. I wanted to be able to drop everything when she’s not feeling well and not worry about creating sub plans or what my boss would think about taking a day off of work.

So I started pouring every ounce of extra time into my passion of helping other women gain the freedoms and confidence they so desperately craved. I started dreaming big and working hard. I gave up time with Brae during the week knowing the freedoms I’d have with her when this work paid off.

I now get to live that dream that I dreamt a year ago, every single day. I am the first person Brae sees when she wakes up and I am the one to lay her down at night. I have the most rewarding job in the world- being a mom. And I get to put a roof over our heads, food on the table, and live in financial freedom with her right by my side.

Nothing beats the feeling of being in control of your own success...AND your own life!

We GROW through what we GO through.

It may be painful, but never as painful as staying stuck.

Take me back to warmer weather + sunshine ☀️ on this dreary day!

Counting down the days until we’re together again in July! 🌴🏜️

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by a limiting belief 🙋🏼‍♀️

ʟɪᴍɪᴛɪɴɢ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ: a belief or thought we have that holds us back from pursuing our goals and desires.

Every single one of the women in my nutrition jumpstart this week had a limiting belief pass through their mind when they saw this group pop up.

I don’t have enough time.
It just can’t work for me.
I don’t have what it takes.
I’m not good enough.
I don’t deserve this.
I’ll probably just fail.
This isn’t possible for me.

But what set them apart is they had the courage to make the decision to immerse themselves in this community and believe that this can be possible for them.

They took the first step to say YES, they leaned in, and they’re showing up. AND YOU CAN TOO.

The greatest limitations you will ever face will be those you place on yourself. So what’s your limiting belief? What’s holding you back?

Close your eyes and dream with me for a minute.

I want you to really dream right now. Like really let yourself in on this one.

What do you picture your life like in 10 years?
What does your house look like?
Where do you live?
Who are you surrounded by?
Are there kids running around?
Are your Sundays filled with worship? Family?
What kind of lifestyle are you living?
Are you traveling?
Are you and your loved ones healthy?

Now what does your career look like right now?
Does it match the lifestyle you picture for yourself?
What career do you picture for yourself in 10 years?
Is it the same one you are in now?
Is your career serving your life vision?

You see… your life vision isn’t your career vision, and oftentimes we get those two confused.

We put such a focus on our career that we forget about everything else life has to give.

Now listen, this may be an unpopular opinion and hard for some of you to hear:
If your career is not serving you, MAKE A CHANGE.

Life is too short to be living for a career, job, or workplace.
Life is too short to be unhappy at work.

If it is not serving you or your dreams, it’s time to move on.

I am here giving you permission to dream big and keep searching for that career that will get you there.

And to think we all met on Instagram...

I got to meet up with, have lunch, and meet for the first time some of the girls on my team, and to be honest, it’s like I’ve known them my whole life! We talked about everything and anything and before we knew it, 3 hours had passed.

Surround yourself with those who lift you up, challenge you, and make you better 💖

I’ve found my tribe, have you found yours?? We have open arms 💕 and are already planning our next get together! Will you be there?!

A day filled with shopping & surrounded by the best- Nothing beats this!

I think I may have found my dream mall with every single one of my favorite stores lined up, and Cody may be regretting taking me there today 🙈😂🤷🏼‍♀️🤪 See you soon Deer Park Mall!

On a more serious note- this is your reminder to go shopping and find clothes you FEEL GOOD in and stop trying to fit into those old clothes.

Clothes are meant to fit you, you are not meant to fit clothes 😘

𝚁𝙴𝙿𝙴𝙰𝚃 𝙰𝙵𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝙼𝙴:

✨I am my own best friend
✨The only one I need approval from is me
✨I love all of me (the good and the bad)

Just a little Friday celebration of yourself before heading into the weekend 😘

What if I had let fear hold me back??

What if I had let the opinions of others determine my path?

What if I gave up after having one too many failed attempts in the past?

What if I kept waiting for the “right time” or for life to “slow down”??

I would still be in a job that was no longer serving me.

I would still be 25 pounds heavier (if not more) and dreading every fitting room.

Filled with the constant worry of what others thought of me.

Dreading the next work week and living for the weekends.

Tears rolling down my face after daycare drop offs and racing out of the building for daycare pickups.

I most certainly wouldn’t be where I am today- that much I know.

Life is way too short... and we throw away time as if we have it.

So you’re afraid? Good.
Not everyone supports you? Great.
You’ve failed in the past? Perfect.
Life is crazy busy? Even better.

Instead of allowing those excuses to fill your shine, use them to fuel that fire.

In the end, we choose our own happiness. And if you don’t, someone else will for you. So it’s time you make a stand for yourself and for your happiness.

Dear body,

I’m sorry I used to pick you apart like I did.
I’m sorry I used to treat you like I did.

You’ve taught me so much over the past several years about what you need and what you’re capable of.

You are so damn incredible and worth every minute of taking the time to feel strong and fuel you.

You made me feel strong again after so many years of losing my strength. You made me strong during labor, and a strong postpartum recovery. You make me feel strong every day, holding my precious Brae in one arm, and balancing everything else in the other.

In the past year, my body underwent a postpartum transformation and though for a short time, celebrated the life of a new little one.

-yours truly 💖

Don’t underestimate how truly incredible our bodies are!

When I started coaching, I had no idea what I was getting into.

I was 25 pounds heavier.

I was a full time teacher, coaching the dance team 8-10 hours a week.

I had 200 Instagram followers.

I was filled with doubt and self conscious of what others would think.

I was burnt out, but I knew I NEEDED to be a part of something MORE.

So here’s the thing... I had the COURAGE to overcome some of my toughest inner demons to give this thing a go.

It felt crazy.
It was out of my comfort zone.
And I was scared as heck!!

But I had an entire tribe of women cheering me on, guiding me, and supporting me each step of the way.

It took BRAVERY along with that courage to share my journey, but it was WORTH IT.

Do you feel that 🔥 in you to go for something MORE?!

Are you looking for accountability? Or the community? Or to take your family on vacay? A girls trip? Or just to put some extra cash in your pocket?

But your decision to say YES might just change your life.

I have 3 March Mentorship spots open to join my team on this crazy ride!! And we’re hosting a SNEAK PEEK into Coaching this week for you to learn all about it!

Unplugged + recharged.

I never imagined this life for myself, but I also truly never imagined a life beyond teaching. Of course I wanted kids and a family, but I never dreamed past the classroom.

My world was confined to the four walls of my classroom and my dreams were those of the school I worked for.

This weekend I got the true feeling of freedom. No requesting off, no asking for permission, no using PTO.

Last year at this time I had put in my first ever request off as a teacher, and I was shaking in my boots. I felt the need to come up with a whole back story to prove why I deserved this time off. I felt it was my job to work my time off around the school year, but it’s just not always possible. I felt incredible guilt leaving my students, planning for a sub, praying to even get sub coverage, and leaving the other teacher to help out while I was gone.

But this weekend was just different.

No guilt.
No requests.
No PTO.

Just Cody, myself, and the Las Vegas strip 🎰🃏

Love yourself through all the seasons.

And I mean ALL seasons.

Through the cellulite.
Though the abs AND rolls.
Through the scars.
Through the muscles AND the fat.
Through the bumps and bruises.
Through the pregnancy.
Through the postpartum blues.
Through the losses & failed attempts.

Your body deserves the love, and your body NEEDS it.

No matter where you are in your mamahood- trying to become a mama, mama of one, or mama of many... it’s ok if you’re not where you want to be. But don’t give up!

Remember that our bodies go through SO MUCH.

I can tell you that the woman on the left had just suffered her first loss. Her first miscarriage, at 10 weeks. She started to spiral out, and I started not recognizing her. She would gaze out into the mirror with disappointment and shame in her eyes. She was disappointed that she let a life escape her body. She was disappointed that all her hard work to stay healthy wasn’t enough.

But the woman on the right has growth, knowledge, and grace for her body. She has found the love again, after doubts rushed her mind if her body was good enough. Good enough to create a life and good enough to carry another to term.

Although I am grieving a loss, I found the strength through my tribe to pick myself back up and pour into myself. And on the days when I couldn’t pick myself up, they were there to lift me. I am proud of myself for what my body and I went through. I am proud of my body.

10/03/2021

I’ve been popping into my bootcamp to check in on these incredible women and I can’t help but to feel an overwhelming feeling of gratitude.

These women CHOSE to be here, just like I did 3 years ago. They were ready for a change, just like I was.

I was a burnt out, tired teacher. Exhausted.
I knew we wanted to start growing our family soon and felt it in my core that I needed to find love for myself and in my body before I could ever love another being.
And even more than that, I craved a positive community. One that wasn’t constantly chatting about negativity or things that couldn’t be changed.
I knew I needed CHANGE, and I knew I needed MORE.

I dove in head first, following all of my failed gym attempts. But what I learned is that it’s not the workout that changes your life- it’s the community and learning simple nutrition. Those first 30 days completely changed my life.

My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of positivity. In those first 30 days I started to grow into the woman I am today. I am happier. I am a better wife, with a marriage that has been tested with a loss, leaving us coming out stronger than before. I am a better mama, loving myself from the inside out so I can love her with every ounce of my being.

Finding my identity as a mama, wife, and my new career path has been nothing short of a challenge- yet so incredibly rewarding.

I have been transformed from the inside out, and today I am watching so many women take that first step in transformation.

Wherever you are in life, please know that there is something MORE for you, too. A simple plan to live happy + healthy. Support + community. Everything you could ever need and more.

Are you ready to transform from the inside out? ✨ Don’t miss out on our March Mindset Movement! Meal plans, recipes, giveaways, friendship, support, + so much more!

Link to apply is in my BIO + in my stories. I want to COACH YOU 💕 and HELP YOU get that start you’ve been searching for!!
