Finding My True Purpose One Day at a Time!

My Journey To Discovering My True Purpose 

After I graduated college and was fired from my first corporate job, I felt lost. That's when my journey to "find my real myself" began. It all started with getting my fitness & health back in check. I remember coming home from work completely exhausted, I'd nap most afternoons (sometimes sleeping until the next morning), I was living off frozen TV dinners, abusing caffeine & diet pills, drinking a lot, had horrible IBS, and felt In wasn't living up to my true potential.


Thanks to social media, I discovered a workout program called INSANITY. At the time I was so broke and $119.99 was a HUGE investment, but I needed to make an investment in myself and I knew with some skin in the game, I'd be more accountable!


Well, I not only got into the best shape of my life & changed my eating habits, I ignited this passion & drive inside me that affected many other areas of my life. This helped inspire me to go back to school to become a registered nurse and ultimately a family nurse practitioner.


I made it to my final career destination, but I still had this burning feeling inside that it wasn't enough, I was made for more.
My true passions throughout nursing school were all focused around the power of exercise & nutrition in preventing/ending diseases.


Last year a little thing called Beachbody Coaching fell into my lap unexpectedly at the time, but looking back it was when I needed it the most!
God knew what he was doing and although I started this business at a time I was stressed to the MAX in my career, it's been the thing that's saved my sanity & blessed my life everyday since!


Listening to others speak at yesterday's huge Beachbody event, I again felt this overwhelming sense of purpose, of belonging, of passion, and a true knowing that THIS IS MY PURPOSE!


Coaching allows me to pursue all of my passions into one role and help others uniquely using all of my own past struggles and triumphs as my guide!


Unlike modern medicine where I have a 15-30 min appointment slot with a patient, as a Coach, I'm able to dig WAY deeper with people, connect, and truly support them in their goals of living a healthier life just by sharing what I've been through, and being their wing girl along the way!
I feel like I've finally found "My People" in my team of fellow coaches as well, those who just "get" me!


I know for certain that this little "journey" I've been on the last 6 years, wasn't about me finding myself, rather discovering God's purpose for my life. I'm very thankful He allowed this gift to land in my lap when it did and I know he's using me to share this opportunity with others out there who are looking for their "something more".
If you're on a journey now, trust the process and stay open to opportunities. There's a bigger plan to all of it than we know!

Hammer & Chisel Day 1 Review!

Hammer  & Chisel Day 1 Review- Chisel Balance

My First impression??.......I WILL feel this tomorrow!!!!! :)

Today was the official DAY 1 of my new workout program, Hammer & Chisel. I've previewed about 4 of these workouts before I officially received it in the mail but I decided to Officially start on a Monday so that I'll be on the calendar! 

This 60 day workout program was created by Autumn Calabrese, the 21 Day Fix creator, and Sagi Kalev, from Body Beast! These 2 masters joined forces for this one and he's bringing the "Hammer" while she provides the "Chisel". 

It's the perfect all around resistance training program! And it's also great for couples to do together :)

One of the other BONUSES  is that it INCLUDES the 21 Day Fix containers system...which is a color-coded, perfectly portioned meal plan system where you don't have to ever count calories!...if your food fits, you eat it! 

So today was the first of the Chisel Series, Chisel Balance....and boy did Autumn test mine!! It was only about 39 mins (Most are 30 mins) which is one of my favorite parts of this program and it definitely got the job done!

 I honestly feel that completing the 21 Day Fix Extreme was great prep for this workout but it was still a challenge!

This one used light-medium weights and gave some of the staple weight training moves (like rows, hamstring curls, and squats) the added challenge of balance moves combined! 

Now, many people are asking me about the equipment needed for this workout program:

-Yes you do need weights!
 I happen to have 3-20lbs of free weights at home. My husband made this investment 2 Christmas ago for me and I can honestly say they've gotten their use! 

- You do NOT need a Bench you CAN use a Stability ball or just the floor!
I just got my bench today, however, because I  found a great deal on one on Sports Authority online and found a great promo code so I got the Bowflex Selectech 3.1 bench (had to put it together today, which was like the pre-workout! But I managed it! lol) 

--I have also seen that they use a pull up bar in a couple workouts...but not in today's! 
I personally do NOT have a pull up bar, I use a resistance band and door attachment instead which they also show the move this way :)


My overall thoughts???

DAMN! No...but in all reality, I was very impressed with the moves in this workout! They were moves I'd never done before, they used multiple body parts at once, including balance moves which are great for the core, and I still felt like I could do them without having to hit pause too many times!

I'm VERY excited for what's to come!! I'm pretty sure I'll be feeling this one tomorrow so I tried out the Performance Line Post Workout Recovery tonight to see if this helps my DOMS! (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)....I'll have to do a review on that if it helps!! 

If you are looking for some great pre and post workout supplements, I'd love to chat with you more about the 100% all natural ingredients line I'm using now! 

I'm newer to supplements, as I never liked artificial ingredients and flavorings...but these are LEGIT! 


Ok, so who is this program PERFECT FOR??:
-Those who have been working out already
 -21 Day Fix grads!
-Body Beast grads
-P90X grads
-GYM RATS!!! This workout is very "Gym-like" and you can STREAM it and bring it along! It'll give you some cool moves to show off with!

I maybe wouldn't suggest starting out with this one, unless you like a challenge...but all moves can be modified and you CAN start with light weights to make it more beginner friendly! 

Oh and my husband was pretty impressed when I showed him this video from today's workout....so ladies, you and your man can do this one together! 

Want to try it for yourself? I'm hosting an elite TEST GROUP in 2016...This will be an online group for those of us taking this challenge to support each other and stay accountable to our goals!!

Top Reason I love Beachbody Coaching!

What is a Beachbody Coach?

A Beachbody coach is someone who is passionate about ending the obesity trend, someone who inspires others to live a healthier lifestyle, someone who is a product of the products (or just really loves the products!). A Beachbody coach is someone makes an income all by doing what they love - staying fit, promoting health, building relationships, and inspiring like minded individuals to do the same! 

Whether you've already experienced your own transformation through one of our amazing programs or you are just starting your journey, anyone can be a successful Beachbody coach! 

All it takes is for you to share what you're doing & what's helping you better your health with others :) 

The Top Reasons I LOVE Coaching:

1. You are rewarded financially and emotionally by HELPING your challengers or customers rather than simply selling products! With most other MLM companies, you sell a product, make the transaction, and that's it. With Beachbody you are building a relationship with that person. You get to help them become the person they want to be and achieve their goals. Forget the money...there is NO better feeling than an inbox full of "Thank Yous" from people who you inspired and helped! 

2. You get to be CREATIVE (if you want to be)- I don't get too many creative opportunities in my job as a nurse practitioner but with Coaching, I get to express my creative side. Coaches get to use Beachbody's amazing products to create completely personal and customized challenge groups for their customers! I get to decide on what content I want to share and have fun using my own clean eating recipes, etc. I also get to play with online apps to create creative advertisements for my groups! 

If creativity isn't your thing then no worries either- Beachbody provides you with lots of templates to use...I just love to make them my own and customize the content I provide for my personal customers!

3. I get to play with Social Media! - I have to admit, prior to Coaching, I obviously dabled in social media but I'm now learning so much about how it works and the various platforms. What's the best is that I get to help so many more people this way! Most of my success has come from reconnecting with friend via social media. It's such an easy way to find new people to help and to join your team!

4. I have TONS of support and training provided to me by other successful coaches in the biz and it's all available ONLINE and on My TIME! Let's face it, life's busy and it's so amazing to be able to run your own business on your own time!

5. I had nothing to lose! - I have been using Beachbody product and LOVING them for over 5 years! As a coach, I had my initial sign up fee waived (you can too), there is such a low coaching cost, and I get 25% off all of the products I have been using and buying for years! Plus now I'm part of a team of some of the most supportive, motivated, and positive coaches that inspire and support me everyday!

6. ACCOUNTABILITY- It takes my personal accountability up to the NEXT LEVEl! Seriously, when I don't feel like working out I just think about the challengers in my challenge group and it pushes me to keep on going! Now of course all coaches have off days! We are definitely not perfect, but we enjoy fitness and healthy eating. We get to pay it forward to help others make a lifestyle change by sharing what works for us which is awesome! 

7. You get to be in FULL CONTROL of how you run your business! You can simply be a discount coach and if you just enjoy getting the programs and Shakeology for 25% off, You can use it to earn an extra $500 per month as a hobby, or you can choose and build a business and YOU get to build your OWN TEAM! What other jobs allows you to CHOOSE who you work with?!

So if you are a fan of the programs and/or Shakeology, there really is no good reason NOT to coach?! You get paid to share with others what you are already doing....I coached for free for years while I was in graduate school....and I'm so glad I became official! 

If you are even slightly considering becoming a Beachbody Coach, I encourage you to fill out my application and I'd love to speak with you more about your goals and questions!
