Rest and Repair
Rest and repair is just as important as hustle and hard work. I don't know about you but there's a feeling of fulfillment when you work hard AND you put in the time to STOP and fill Your cup.
It's like the reward is greater bc of the hard difficult work you put in FIRST....
Kinda like a hot shower after a hard workout.
Or an AMAZINGLY RIGHT relationship after a TOUGH & WRONG One.
Or finding a career path that fulfills you rather than drains you.
It's taken me YEARS to create this kind of life, but I would def do it all over. Including the mistakes I made, because I learned as I went. I failed forward and didn't short cut and shy away from the hard.
I'm leaning in and learning as I go. I hope you are too. Step into who you are always meant to become rather than dreaming of something better. Do it for you NOW. Your future self, your past self...and for the lives you will change along the way.
If you have been watching me for a few years you might know that I'm an Online Coach and I help teach people to do EXACTLY this. Have you ever thought about helping people get healthier and working for yourself?!!?
Being the fitness rebel I am, I was ALWAYS looking for this, but just doubted myself too much. It took me almost 2 years before I did this....but while I waited I watched those crushing it and I went from jealousy and envy to inspiration and curiosity. If that's you then let's have a conversation. Because working for yourself and figuring things out does NOT have to be a lonely gig. I gotchu babe.

My Right Arm
Sometimes I don't have the most motivated words and I'm just gonna say it like I see it....I really need to stop taking selfies with flexing only my right arm.
Clearly my left is not as defined so here's my left arm. And I'm still gonna give it love bc gosh darn it, it still tries. PS, speaking of not having a balanced body my left femur is a little longer than my right which affects my running, but gives me cool swagger if I do say so myself.
I have one eye that opens wider than the other. But that reminds me of my brother and I think it's a fun trait we have in common. And if I think about it I can name hundreds of things WRONG with me...but ya know what’s RIGHT about it all!?!?
I love my imbalanced imperfect body. We aren't meant to be perfect, but we are meant to love ourselves and NOT judge ourselves. I did that for YEARS with overtraining, binge eating, lack of sleep & decades of nail biting which basically showed my body how much I hated it.
Not no mo!!!!! I love it and I love the imperfections. And I hope we ALL stop judging ourselves and start embracing WHO WE ARE inside and out. That’s TRUE health people. When we show our bodies love we START treating it right.
What’s an "imperfection" you love about you!?!?! I wanna know, come on, let's start a brag board
Take a Chance on You
Reflecting back these last few months I realize something ...if I didn't take a chance on myself I would have had to miss out on people, places and experiences that bring me joy.
Ya see you aren't going to be able to achieve NEW experiences in life if you decide to NOT take chances.
We legit ALL have fears of failing in front of others but we also have a small amount of hope in the unknown & the "what ifs"....
So ask yourself...
"What if I truly loved who I am...how would I take care of myself better?"
"What if I start that Online Business & stay true to my word with the time I say I will put into it?"
"What if I ask for the help I need instead of letting my ego and assumptions of others cloud my judgment?"
"What if I could provide more for the people I love?"
"What if I succeeded?"
What would ALL that really look like for you? What it FEEL like? Sit in those thoughts for a bit because God doesn't give us dreams if He thought we couldn't achieve them. #mondaymotivation #sweatwithsarah #healthyandwealthycoaching
Unplugged
Hi friends, wanted to check in since it's been a few days. I needed to take some self care days, which means I'm still pushing play on my workouts but I wasn't as active online. Ya know something that's helped me, but also seems counter intuitive to my work...is UNPLUGGING.FROM THE SOCIALS.
Seriously I have NO notifications set on my phone and some of my closest friends even joke about how hard it is to get ahold of me but I do this for OWN mental health.
If I was always available to everyone else that means I'm never available to my own needs. Ya feel me on this?!
If you do, then I want you to take this as a reminder to take time for YOU. The holidays can be rough for ALOT of us...and even more now than ever so think about what brings YOU joy and make time for that. Trust me on this.
Sending you love and thanks for being my friend. Even if I don't always reply quickly
So. Much. Fun!
My husband picks the best people. I don't have to ever question hanging out with people I've never met before. Good job Eddie... I freaking love the McCrackins! Thanks Stacy, Chris and doggie Ellie. We had the best time
Perfection is Never the Goal
Perfection is never the goal. Showing up is. And guys, this week is supposed to be the last week of my Virtual 5k and strength program but I'm not on that week...and that's ok.
With travel I knew I was going to fall behind but the thing is I decided not to beat myself up. Instead I STILL pushed play 5 out of 7 days with workouts that STILL pushed me and I'm happy with that.
Look at this week as looking for the positives you can control. I'm just glad I have my Sweatflix I can rely on and choose from 1440+ workouts....because that's what I'm going to do until I start a program on Dec 7th. Ya know you are always invited to join me in case you might need that extra self care this time of year too

We Are the 2%
You will NEVER be judged or told bad advice from people who are doing what YOU want to achieve someday.
Wanna know WHO you get bad advice from??! The people who gave up. They will say it didn't work for them so it DEFINITELY won't work for you.
That's their story. Not yours. They are the 98%. We are the 2% & I believe in YOU & YOUR dreams.
EVERY-TIME.
What ever scares you. Go after it. EVERY-TIME.

Proud of You, Coaches!
Coaches... I'm so proud of you ALL.
Every week day at 10am I hop on a zoom & some of us workout together and some of us work, catching up on emails, scheduling posts etc....
Well today one of our Coaches shared her story of how she was able to inspire someone who saw her posts & reached out to her asking for help and it made my heart grow 5x. ...because yes, it's hard putting our vulnerabilities out there but people NEED to hear our stories of struggle & HOW we are overcoming it.
It's what makes us REAL & RELATEABLE....& guys something INCREDIBLE happens when you do that.
You find your tribe. You find your family & the support system we ALL want & need.
I don't talk enough about what this Coach tribe means to me, but there's a reason I'm drinking my coffee and STILL showing up to work while on vacay...
BECAUSE I FREAKING LOVE THIS COMMUNITY & I finally know what this means..."Find something you love and you never really work a day in your life."
If you are looking for something like this, never hesitate to reach out. This could be EXACTLY what you are looking for. Don't defend excuses that you really don't want to define your life. Instead let your dreams design your life. You CAN do this too. We are NO DIFFERENT.

Freedom to Work
MONDAY MANTRA You can do hard things. Own it and you WILL go farther than your dreams.
I'm currently in TX for a family trip and while YES, I've decided to work 3 hours a day while I'm here its a FREEDOM to have the chance to work so much less and enjoy MORE time with people I love.
Life is too short guys, be sure you are going after whats really important to you. And like always, I'm here rooting for you every step of the way. I'm only a message away of you need a plan and accountability
