Believe to Achieve
💕You have to BELIEVE it, before you can ACHIEVE it.💕
So ask yourself...."Do I BELIEVE in myself enough to show up even when I don't feel like it?!?!!" "Do I see myself hitting this specific goal?" "Do I understand that there will be hurdles along the way & do I have the stamina it takes to keep going?!" "Am I doing this for me or the naysayers?" "Am I going to let the negative opinions of others stop me?" "Is my life important enough to me to make this change?" "Do I want this change MORE than I want to stay the same?"
Those were the questions I asked myself before I took my health seriously and got into this business and for realz guys, I was scared beyond belief but one thing stuck out to me ....
You have to BELIEVE it to ACHIEVE it. And I BELIEVED I had the tools before me, I just needed to BELIEVE IN MYSELF.
I'm not saying you have to FEEL ready, I'm saying do you see yourself as achieving your goals or are you not even believing that it's even possible!?!?! Because the difference between people getting this ish done and those that have the same tools but end up quitting is BELIEVING they can do it...and THAT'S IT!
So before you up and buy the new Bowflex, sign up for the gym, go all in with this relationship, join my next challenge group or biz training you MUST ask yourself..... "Do I BELIEVE I can do this?" And f you don't see yourself hitting those goals then STOP. RIGHT.NOW. Dive into some personal development because your mind is the muscle that needs to be worked EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
And those that have that little bit of belief....then what the FLIP are you waiting for!?!?!!?? Get after it!!!! Do you want to look back and think "what if...?!? If its the right thing you must have COURAGE to step outside your comfort zone. #yougotthis
Late-Night Art
When's the last time you stayed up too late creating something fun?!?! Anybody else find creativity at night!?!? I usually do with choreography but felt like painting tonight!!!!!
Today was so fun and after walking around the cute little town of Roanoke and being inspired by art work I told Eddie we need to try to make art together. Turns out we aren't too bad (in my opinion anyway🤷🏽♀️). After a trip to Hobby Lobby we came back to the hotel with 24 acrylics, 10 paintbrushes and 5 canvases. 🤣 Eddie already sketched out all 5 ideas we decided on and we went to work. I'm showing ya our 2nd artwork..... Because the other isn't IG worthy🤣 Well it was good practice to say the least.
Hope your weekend has been fun too! Never forget you are never too old to try new things...or try things you think you suck at, because you might surprise yourself. 💕
The Dream Inside You
God wouldn't have put the dream inside of you if He didn't think you could handle it.
Courage is God talking.
Fear is Satan talking.
Who you going to listen to?
Games & Life
Key to a happy marriage!? Saying YES.
Say yes to things things that strengthen your relationship. Even if it involves killing things.....🤷🏽♀️
A few months ago Eddie asked me to play a video game with him and at first I thought "I'm busy I should get this work done first..." but I also realized that in my line of work there's ALWAYS more that I can work on, so if I don't say Yes to unplugging and hanging with Eddie, then WHEN will I!? 💁🏽♀️ So I said "YEA. I'LL PLAY!!!"
....guys I'm so glad I did. I'm freaking obsessed and almost every night Eddie and I hang and kill things 🤣👌🏼 and we love it.
I'm reminded that I should ALWAYS say YES to things that will bring me closer to a more fun and care free and loving relationship and I should get out of my comfort zone and try NEW THINGS!!!
Too often I get caught up in the busy of life and I don't want to look back and think...."I should have spent more time with those I loved or I should have went after my dreams but was too scared to."
Life is too short guys....So play games, laugh every chance you get & get out of your comfort zone. EVERY. DAY.
Want Change More
So how do you become motivated & gain enough confidence to take the leap to work for yourself!?!?
Well it's about more of the WHY than it is the HOW....
I wanted change MORE than I wanted stay the same. Don't get me wrong I will probably always teach my fitness classes, but it's not paying the bills. With the monthly fees, ongoing certifications and conferences and clothes I was mayyyyybe breaking even. After 2 years of thinking about joining the Online Band wagon I finally did it & I've learned a few things.....
👌🏼I am now in control of my own success, and that feels amazing.
👌🏼I set my own hours and I finally get the sleep I need (praise the Laaawwwd)
👌🏼 I have an Online Ride or Die tribe I freaking love and I finally feel WE can become the best version of OURSELVES because the support is there. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.💕
👌🏼I have gained so much confidence and going from panic attacks to speaking engagements for High School students to training online, I have seen and continue to see this grow......but this goes beyond what I can do.... This is where YOU come in.
Truth be told....I need help running these groups. As my team grows I have leaders stepping out (the babes pictured here for example😍) and they are running groups on their own which is AWESOME but I need new people to BECOME leaders in my NEW groups. I will teach you everything I know and I will give you the social media tools to crush an online business. So if getting paid to be healthy and inspire others to get healthy excites you as much as it does me👉🏽then lets talk ALREADY!!!!!
Fill out my "Become a Fit-Influencer/Online Coach" Application and I can get you started ASAP! Thanks for reading💕💕💕

Love Your Neighbor. Love Yourself
"Love your neighbor as yourself...."
But what if you don't love yourself?! Can you really love people if you don't love yourself? My thoughts...💁🏽♀️No, not really. There will be shame, guilt, resentment & jealousy that arise between relationships when you don't love yourself. So ask yourself...
"Do I love myself?"
"Am I too busy to take time for me?"
"Is my self talk negative or positive?"
"Do I take care of myself physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially?"
"Am I saying yes to the wrong things because of guilt or shame."
Am I saying no to the right things out of fear of failure or what others might think?
If those questions cause you to question your self love then take some time to journal and write down WHY you are holding yourself back. Maybe it's from your surroundings, how you were raised or maybe years of abuse. Whatever it is or was it will be OK, because once you recognize it you are CONSCIOUS of it and therefore can re-write your story. Make a self love checklist and be sure to take one action EVERY DAY to become more loving towards yourself and others. You got this babe. 💕
Unlikely Animal Friends
Unlikely animal friends....have you guys seen that show!?!? Animals that are best friends with each other!?!? They featured a goat and a horse story and I lost it. 😭😭🤣🤣 oh and no, these 2 don't like eachother as much as the goat and horse...but they're getting there 🙈🙏 #iloveanimals#myfurbabies #maithekitty #batmanthebarkknight
The Sooner You Start
"The sooner you start, the sooner you get to where you want to go."
I think we all know this but I'm gonna tell ya, I've struggled with this area too guys.
I knew I needed to change up my fitness routine so my joints wouldn't hurt.....
But I hesitated.
I knew I needed to face my emotional/binge eating ....
But I hesitated.
I knew I needed to work on my major inner mean girl voice....
But I hesitated.
All those hesitations are my "less than enough" self and if I wanted to become better I HAD to hush her up enough to dive into finding that more confident, happier and healthier version of me.
It took me almost 2 years to invest in myself but I did it. I joined a Virtual Health Club & I learned how to heal my emotional and physical body and mindset and I'm so freaking grateful I did.
So Let me come back to that saying; the sooner you start...the better 😘👌🏼
I'm starting another Virtual Health Club in September and I want to help you. Fill out this Application if you want to have a conversation babe. 💕 #stopthenegativity#youareenough #letsgethealthy
Negativity Diet
Time for a diet y'all. And NO, I'm not talking about food💕
I was stubborn. I was judgey. I was needy. Until I realized I didn't need approval, acceptance or recognition from others. I needed it from myself!!!
We all need it from ourselves guys!!!! We need it from ourselves MORE than from others!!!!! And yes, we can do those things right here and now.
The goal here is to Know and TRULY BELIEVE what you had and who you were then, now and who you will become was and always will be ENOUGH. 💕
So cut ties with that person or part of you that makes you feel like anything less. You don't need that Felicia in your life. Byeeeeeeeeee✌🏼
And go on a NEGATIVITY DIET (there's that diet I mentioned👌🏼) for 24 hours. No negative self talk, no gossip and no negative media. If that means you follow too much drama and your news feed is bad news then UNSUBSCRIBE/UNFOLLOW them!!!! It's not illegal. It's smart. 🤣👌🏼
Now go and be nice....TO YOURSELF!!!!

Find Yours
You find your voice by talking about what you want.🌻
You find your passion by pursuing what fills your cup.🌻
You find your purpose by practicing & getting better day after day. 🌻
I talked a big game (in my head) but when it came to taking action on it...I didn't. Guys, I have had panic attacks. I have struggled with bingeing and emotional eating. I have struggled with overtraining my body from years of too many fitness classes. I have also had more doubts & fears too high to count and that stopped me from pursuing my purpose....for years.😭
Yes my PASSION is health and fitness but my PURPOSE is helping those just like me. Someone who has those same struggles.
Ya see it wasn't until an "AHA" moment finally came to me and it's because a group of people showed me a better way. And I'm SO grateful for these mentors because as I reflect back I was actually looking for ANY excuse to NOT commit to this because deep down I had a fear that it would be a waste of my money. I had a fear that I would NOT be successful at this anyhow so WHY even sign up?! …
Well I also had a small glimpse of HOPE when I saw people around me have success and I began to give myself PERMISSION to actually THINK about how my life would improve!
So here is WHY I am sharing this with you- because I want you to have a glimpse of hope too. Because YES, I'm calling you out and I WANT you to experience this because I 100% believe this will help change your life like the way it did for me and so many others.
Next Virtual Health Club starts September & I'm also training NEW Coaches/Fit Influencers to do this WITH ME. I'm not afraid of saying this anymore. Seriously this has helped changed my life in so many ways and I'm NOT hiding this from you any longer.
I want to help YOU face what's stopping you and I want to EMPOWER you so that you can go and INSPIRE & EMPOWER others around you. Stop waiting to FEEL ready, because AHA moments only happen to people who take ACTION. Ready or not, I'm here to help. Fill out the link below so we can chat!!! 😘
