Feel the Fears
😱PANIC ATTACKS SUCK......
This pic was taken at our Coach retreat last year and I realize how much Coaching has helped me confront SO many of my fears....
I had a MAJOR fear of public speaking and while on a conference call I had a panic attack. If you have ever had a panic attack you feel like your heart is about to explode out of your chest and you can't breathe. Your brain convinces you that something must be wrong so there are 2 options, fight or flight the situation and sadly sometimes it ends in a panic attack.
But one thing I've learned over the years is Fear ALWAYS starts in the body and when we trace it back to the first time we felt that way we can reassure our younger self that YES we are ok NOW and remind ourselves that the anxiety we feel CURRENTLY is actually just excitement when we look for the good in the situation instead of the bad. 💕💕💕
If you struggle with ANYTHING in your life and it's kept you from going after your dreams just remember you CAN overcome. My best advice is to NOT avoid what scares you, instead GO AFTER IT.
Yes, the ONLY way to become better at anything is to practice it. I've been on hundreds of calls now and it makes me realize how much we CAN change. I've seen fellow Coaches face the same fears and it's been AMAZING to see them replace fear with confidence, strength and love. 💕😍😭😍And I'm so excited to continue to see us grow. #wegotthis #loveourtribe #feelthefearanddoitanyway
You Are Enough
Your Thursday reminder that YES actions are the only thing stopping you....it's not because of someone's else opinions or schedules. Its not because there's not enough time. It's not that you aren't skilled enough to take on the task. Actions mean learning from failures until you get it right! So set aside time for the things important to you because YES you ARE enough to go after it. 🙌🙌🙌 #youareenough #yougotthis
Blocked
Fellow entrepreneurs...go-getters....the people paving their own way.... does THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!?!?!?
😳Blocked...
😳Unfriended...
😳Ghosted....
Yeaaaaa, I feel ya...Ya see, in my work I KNOW what I offer and I KNOW it has the potential to change someone else’s life. Just like it did mine...not just physically, but also mentally, emotionally & financially.
So why the HECK would I keep this from others when I know DEEP DOWN it could change their life too!?!? And I know some of you feel the same way!!!💁🏽♀️
But hey, if someone needs to block us, talk negatively about us, or do whatever TO us just know it's nothing WE did.
I know it's NOT what we do or don't do that's bothering them. It comes down to THEIR CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES... I know because I WAS THAT GIRL...
Yes, I'm calling myself out on here. I've struggled LOADS with being offended with others until I made a decision to change MY OWN ATTITUDE towards myself and towards others. I decided to spend MORE of my time around those that I TRULY admired and also those that TRULY care for me as a friend and guess what!?!? I started to become MORE like them and I CHOSE to listen LESS to that inner meanie.
So if you feel me on this.... Support one another. Lift each other up. Yes, we ALL have feelings. And if you need to distance yourself from the negative people you can't seem to please anyhow then do it!
We aren't doing what we believe is right for approval of those who will judge us ANYHOW. We are here to find our uplifting tribe and love them hard & help grow this positive community. So keep showing up & keep supporting one another. It IS the right thing to do.💕
Will Work for Clothes
Will work for clothes 👌🏼 Man this year our company is BRINGING it! Between the fitness apparel and 3 bookbags I got just for helping 3 people per month bonus(plus the free trip to Punta Cana coming in the spring) I seriously am so thankful for my job 😍😭😍 When ya love what ya do, you seriously never really "HAVE TO" work. I "GET" to work and I'm so fricking grateful 🙏🙏🙏
BTW, I'm TOTES not saying this to brag. If you have ever been wanting to work your own hours, showing up and helping people reach their health & fitness goals, then let's chat babe! I'll teach ya EVERYTHING I know!
NEW training starts in November, go here
The Perfect Time
So ya wanna know when the PERFECT time is to start is?!🤔
It's NOT the 10,000th time you thought about it.
It's NOT when you look in the mirror and think negative thoughts about yourself.
It's NOT because someone told you to do it or made you feel guilty.
The perfect time for change is the FIRST time you think about change. Because where would you be NOW if you would have acted on it that FIRST time?! And if you struggle with taking action and procrastination, I get it...that's so me too...but this is a journey and I NEED HELP TOO!!!!!
.....So, I HIGHLY recommend you get the audiobook The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins. If you want real change you MUST change the conversation in your head and your beliefs about what you are capable of. Because my belief in you is irrelevant, because at the end of the day YOUR OWN mindset about yourself is what matters most.and babe, YOU MATTER. 💕
The Time is Now
Getting my day started a bit late today... But better NOW than NEVER!!!! Speaking of getting started LATER, I want YOU to know if there is breath in your lungs then you DO have time to live the life you want.
I remember when I was 12 I had a few friends in dance and I recall them saying they were dancing since they were 3 years old....so to me, at 12, I thought I was TOO OLD to try dancing.... So I didn't. I mean unless you count da' club🤣
But seriously it wasn't until 12 years later when I was 24 and I was asked to get licensed in Zumba. I had NO IDEA what Zumba was, so I showed up to my first class-THE TRAINING- & realized it was NOT TOO LATE to start dancing.
If I would have let my 12 year old self talk me out of it then I would NOT have such a passion for movement, music and choreography. With that said, if you have an inner voice telling you it's TOO LATE, then remember it's NOT. And remember you DO Have a voice that tells you that you SHOULD TRY.... Listen to it more often. And go after the the things that push you outside your comfort zone, because YES that is where life happens & you start to realize that NO, you are NEVER too old for anything! And this is including your health, wealth, love, business, travel...anything where you have pulled the "it's too late" card. Because its NEVER TOO LATE & THE TIME IS NOW.
Change
Once a gamer, always a gamer🎮 But a few things have changed...
For one thing, I will never wear pants that snap ever again!!!!! I remember wearing those navy capris and having them unsnap EVERY TIME I sat!!!! It was the wooooorrrsssttttt. I mean WHYYYY do pants like these even exist!?!?🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
But the MOST that's changed in 10 years!? My mindset. I realized if I wanted to change on the outside I had to FIRST change on the inside....because binge eating and overtraining is NOT going to take you far. Trust me.
Yes, it takes work. But also know it takes failures. There's going to be obstacles that knock you down but that's life. If nothing gets in your way then accomplishing anything great is no longer great. So learn from those struggles and continue to SHOW UP. Tell your goals to others. Find the support you need to get to where you want to go. And if you need my help, & a community that ROCKS, I'm always here for ya💕
Boring, Not Bored
😳😳😳"You aren't bored...you are boring." Ouch, Sarah. That hurts a little..well before you think your business, your fitness routine, your relationship is boring hear me out....
In this fast paced, instant gratification world we are ALWAYS looking for the NEXT BEST THING. I thought that same thing guys, and while I thought, "I'm just growing and needing to learn and try new things."... I was actually not bringing or creating JOY in my life.... I was SEARCHING for it outside of what I already had. There's a slight difference between the 2 and I had to give myself a REALITY Check before I dove into the next thing.
I had to get back to the basics.
I needed to Work from a list and clear out the distractions &fears of failure.
I needed to increase my personal growth and learn from my mentors.
I had to make time for CREATIVITY and NOT ALLOW myself to fall into that boredom frame of mind.
I had to STOP trying to FIT IN & comparing myself to others.
I had to Check mark off the things that might have seemed boring to me but I knew deep down, I had to stick to it in order to see results.
Now I'm NOT saying this is relatable to EVERYONE. I'm saying that if you feel you are SEARCHING, think about the saying "The grass is greener where you water it." What aligns with YOUR goals in life?!? Who can help you get there?!? And what's ONE action step can you take today to get OUT OF THE BOREDOM TRACK!?!?
Guys, I'm not saying you are boring person...(I'm pretty nice,ask my husband😘👌🏼).....what I'm saying is don't settle for mediocre. You are meant for more. Hurdles & heartaches are unavoidable but it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to change and adapt and CHOOSE to bring life back to what you are passionate about. So go after it & crush this Monday!!!! 🙌
There Is A Better Way
I was working at the gym and thinking "How the heck do people make a full-time income from this!?!?!" I taught 6am classes, personal trained 12-5pm then more classes again that evening.
Guys, I was NOT getting enough sleep. I was over-training like CRAY and with ALL the ongoing certification monthly fees and time invested into practicing and memorizing new routines and coming up with fitness plans for my clients I was depleted...emotionally, physically and financially.
During all this I began stalking people about this ONLINE health and fitness craze. Curious and skeptical and afraid of failure I waited almost 2 years before I took the leap. And Guys, This wasn't easy. I'm not gonna lie. I pushed past panic attacks, losing "friends" (who were toxic anyway, so it's cool👌🏼) and trying trying to find pockets of time to do this......But I GAINED confidence, knowledge, freedom to work my own hours and a community of people who support you EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
I didn't join some "COOL" crowd, instead it was a judge free, care free group of people who saw a BETTER WAY. Dude, this has been the most lucrative move in my fit-career. And I also confronted my binge & emotional eating disorder and realized true health begins with our mindset & I've helped more people because we tackle that head on and dive into personal growth daily. I don't say all this to show off, I'm saying it to tell YOU that YESSSSSSSSS, there is a better way.
It takes time & consistency but yes you can do this while working FT. I built this on my one day off and pockets of time between classes and clients. And no you don't have to be at your IDEAL or GOAL weight to inspire others! Didn't I mention my eating disorder!?!!? Seriously if you want to talk about how this career could save you too, then let's have a conversation. Fill out my Fit Influencer Application.* Because if not NOW, THEN WHEN!?!?
In the meantime, I'll be here with Batman watching Eddie twitch stream and answering some emails, checking into my Virtual Health Club and getting some follow ups done👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 talk soon😘😘

About Control
Ya'll....I struggle. I've found it's those that want MORE out of life for themselves and others that find the GREATEST struggles. Can you relate!?🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♂️
Think about it...We are the dreamers AND the do-ers. We struggle because we are the rule breakers and sometimes it takes 100 tries before we feel "ok" about our work and we feel sometimes its "easier" for others. I soooo get it so I wanted to share with you what's helped me. And because apparently I'm a laid back-CONTROL FREAK I, (almost daily), have to make a list of what I CAN CONTROL.
And yes YOU have more control over your life too even if you don't feel it at times. So join me..... Take a deep breath and write it, say it & believe it.....and even if these things aren't true to you yet, remind yourself that YES, these truths eventually win over lies we might say to ourselves EVERY DAY. #ownthatpower
