I started coaching a little over a year ago, and I am ready to expand my team!
This past year has been super exciting for me. I started my journey as a challenger myself, and absolutely LOVED the support I had that I just NEEDED to share my journey with others!
My own personal journey with Beachbody started a couple years back. I am a former teacher that became a stay at home mom when we moved from Florida to Pennsylvania for my husband's job. With a preemie still on an apnea monitor and relocating to a new town, my husband and I decided it was best for me to stay home. I left my career in the classroom that I loved so very much and poured my own heart and soul into every day. Talk about change! Teacher one day to stay at home mom the following, and a for sale sign in my front yard...with hardly any notice at all!
Believe me, I LOVE being a mom, but I loved teaching too! Staying at home as a mom in a new town, with a new house, and a new life was not an easy transition for me. We had moved to a new state previously for another promotion my husband received, but it was different this time. It was harder. I was used to the classroom environment and interacting with people every day. I was used to the hustle and bustle that came with teaching in a public school: meetings, commitees, volunteer work, and lesson planning for my own 20 plus little ones, that I was priveleged to greet each morning with a big smile and a warm hug. I was used to laughing and working with my colleagues that I loved and became my family (since mine was all in Ohio). I was used to coming home to my very first house my husband and I bought together. I was used to the life we were creating with our new bundle of joy. I was used to my life in Florida, and I couldn't have been happier there!!!
Shortly after our move to Pennsylvania, I knew I had to do something before I went a little crazy:) We moved from our beautiful beach house that my husband and I purchased together to my parents house while Chris lived in a hotel during the week, 90 miles away from us. We then moved into a condo, until we found a house of our own. I didn't have all of my belongings....some of it was still in storage because it wouldn't fit. The walls felt like they were closing in! It was time...I had to step out of my comfort zone and make new friends. I had to challenge myself to be a better mom and wife by challenging my own inner self and happiness. I go through life with a smile, and always look at the positive side of things, but this time, it was just plain hard!
I am a people person and I need socialization, so I joined a gym and attended a bootcamp class every morning to see the same ladies. I used to joke and say that it was my power hour to workout and socialize! After having our second baby, getting to my bootcamp class was merely impossible for me! Every time I woke up early to leave the house and be home before my husband had to leave for work, there was always someone up crying! Sooo I ordered Insanity through the website. I had no coach and no support system. I quit when I got bored and the going got tough. I quit when I didn't have the results I wanted in a couple weeks. I quit when I was super sore. I quit because I was sick after our second baby for months, before realizing my gallbladder had to be removed due to progesterone shots I had received to help have a full term pregnancy.
So desperate to be energized and healthy again I decided to give 21 Day Fix a try and skeptically joined my first challenge group. What was a challenge group really all about anyways?! Well I had nothing to lose and I was about to find out!
The results were in, after completing my first challenge group, I knew that if I could help just ONE person feel as good as I did, then it was all worth it! My favorite part about coaching, hands down, is changing lives by running challenge groups and holding others accountable with an effective support system.....all right from my kitchen table! I love surrounding myself with like minded people that set new goals for themselves to be the best they can be and working with them one on one. I love my Beachbody "family"!
After successfully doing this for over a year now, there is no turning back for me. I am so excited to continue my coaching journey and look forward to a little accountability myself after just having my third son. I seriuosly couldn't do it without these groups that offer so much! I realize how many people need this support and appreciate having this opportunity in their lives! I truly love to help others succeed in their goals to live a healthier life! There is nothing better than seeing someone's confidence soar through their positive transformation.
