Keep Saying It
Have you ever been told....
"You are so ugly."
"You don't have what it takes."
"You will never be successful so why try?"
If someone close to you told you that, then most likely you wouldn't want to spend much time with them, right? Well duh...but what if that someone is YOU?
I've heard we only accept the love we think we deserve.. but what about the hate? Why do we accept THIS HATE from ourselves?
There are many times in my life where I can remember vividly accepting this hate and playing the same story in my head.
I would justify this because taking action would be "even harder"...."so stay put, Sarah, it's easier than the confrontation."
That relationship you couldn't get out of.
That job that sucked your soul.
That dream you kept pushing down.
These are all moments of hope squashed by fear.
I can FEEL it to this day, the decision to make a new path is SO FREAKING SCARY and seems even HARDER than just staying quiet and alone in your misery....but I'm here to tell you, it's NOT.
Fear has a funny way of convincing you that if you just stay the same then nothing "worse" will happen.
How crappy is that?!?!
YEA, it sucks to go through a breakup, and it sucks to leave a secure job and it sucks to be a beginner in a new venture....
But what sucks more is NEVER getting to the other side.
The other side for me:
Meeting Eddie and marrying him.
Quitting my gym job to have new opportunities.
Making my dreams ACTUALLY happen through Online Coaching.
Trust me when I say this, the other side IS WORTH IT. I catch myself overwhelmed by GRATITUDE and just a few years ago I was overwhelmed by DREAD.
So take the leap. Stop letting fear guide you down the SAME PATH, that you know is going to end up EXACTLY the same place you started.
And what is that next road for you? Well ask yourself ... "Is this decision an act of love or an act of hate towards myself?"
Stop doubting what could be the BEST plot twist in your life. Be the rebel. Break societies rules & live life louder. Start to believe you are meant for more by saying it, EVERY DAY until that hateful voice is no longer your guide. "I believe in me." KEEP SAYING IT

Whyyyyyy
Frustrated. Envious. Over worked. Under paid...and bitter...and in secret, emotionally eating my feelings.
All feelings I felt before I decided that "mayyyybeee, I CAN change my situation." It started with my mindset. It STARTS with mindset EVERYTIME.
Instead of mirroring my negative emotions on everyone around me & continuing this cycle of jealousy, I started asking WHY I felt this way and truthfully its because I was frustrated with the rules I made for myself.
I said...."I can do this on my own"...over and over and over. It probably has something to do with being a middle child trying to fit in with everyone but at the same time pushing people away because of fear of rejection.
It took me saying..."If I want change then I NEED the help. I NEED to learn from those doing EXACTLY what I want to do."
I was sick of letting fear hold me back. My rule breaker- dreamer NEEDED this freedom. I felt it in my soul.
So WHAT IF I failed, I would be exactly where I was already, but WHAT IF I succeeded!?!? What would THAT feel and look like?
Guys, I think you might know the rest of my story because these last 7 years as an Online Coach has been one heck of a ride and I LOVE who I have become and I LOVE the people on this journey with me...I've found my soul sisters and brothers and I'm so freaking grateful.
Maybe you are one of them...or maybe you are thinking about teaming up....either way, what does your rule breaker dreamer say????
I want you to know YOU aren't alone. I'm here and my Body Positive MOVE-ment group starts in 20 days. Yes. I want YOU in it... Just fill out my link in bio. I'll send you info to take a look at.

Motivated Monday?
Did you have a Motivated Monday!?! As for me....
After we got the Jeep we went to Culver's and got a burger, fries and ice cream... I mean YEA it was AMAZING but honestly pushing play on my program was sooooo hard.
I wanted to chill and nap but I've got my people still showing up, so yea, I might not have had the motivation to do this FOR ME, but I had it FOR THEM.

Seven Years!
Every year I celebrate a few days that stand out to me.
Anniversarys, birthdays, holidays and also TODAY ...the day I signed up to become an Online Coach. YES, it was 7 years ago..TODAY.
I was on the set of Insanity Max30 filming and got to work closely with the cast and had the opportunity to work along side Shaun T. I feel like I've already shared this story (every year since then) But as time goes by and my business continues to grow I get even more emotional on this day.
There are pivotal times in my life when I look back and realize how different my life would be if I didn't say YES to this opportunity.
If you have been on the fence about starting your own health business I just want to encourage you that NO , you don't have to have it all figured out, but what you DO NEED is a support system and that's why I partnered with this company.
The support and love I've seen from the people I've had the opportunity to work with would have never happened FOR ME if I wasn't willing to ask for the help.
With that said TOMORROW Shaun is releasing another program and OF COURSE I'm signing up for it and I am inviting YOU to do this with me.
This "Body Positive MOVE-Ment" group could also be your pivotal moment in your life where you could look back and say....thank goodness I joined too.
Coaching has FOREVER changed my health(physically, emotionally and even financially) & If you are struggling in any of these areas I want to help. I know the pain of being over worked, underpaid dealing with stress by overtraining and binge eating.
If you are willing to do the work then this might be the answer to your prayers like it was for me too.
Trauma of Fear
I've never had a flu shot in my life and today I got my first of 2 covid vaccine shots.
Tbh, I wasn't even going to post about this but as I waited in the waiting room with Eddie he could tell I was getting emotional and 8 hours later this is still really hitting me hard.
Some of you might not be aware of my childhood and I tend to joke about how crazy it was to grow up with guns, to be taken out of school for y2k and move hundreds of miles away with enough dried food for a year. There are other stories that go along with this but as an adult I see this trauma of fear rise up in me and today was one of those moments.
There is a small part of me that is scared that one of those news articles might just be telling the truth. And WHAT IF people are really this evil and WHAT IF (any conspiracy you can imagine) and on and on and on...I know you've heard it too. And hearing it over and over and message after message, year after year starts to take a real toll.
And truthfully I don't believe ANY of it but I was AVOIDING to change my narrative out of fear.
So I had to ask myself... " Am I going to CONTINUE to be controlled by this fear and AVOID being pro active or am I going to SHOW that I am stronger than this? Do I truly WANT to be the positive that I want to see in the world or do I hide?
No. The fear stops here.. I I am not that scared little girl anymore.....
For me, this was the right thing to do. I'm in no way telling anyone what they should or should not do or act or think. But if you are also nervous then just know you aren't alone.
I once believed I lived in a world full of evil, hate and every man for himself mentality. I now believe I live in a much brighter place. And these tears of fear are turning into tears of joy as I write this.
I leave you with this by the poet Amanda Gorman...
"There is always light.
Only if we are brave enough to see it.
There is always light.
Only if we are brave enough to be it."
Body Positive Movement
Ok, horizontal stripes are just a bad idea but I just want to share on the left I was working out out 20+ hours a week and me on the right about 5 hours a week. Beating yourself up for what you eat is NEVER the answer. TRUE Self love and care IS the answer.
I'm starting a BODY POSITIVE MOVEMENT group that begins May 17(( )) If you need help just know I'm here for ya and the system I found has changed my life in SO MANY WAYS.
And yes, I invite people unapologetically because YES, this could be EXACTLY what they need and maybe its just the belief that I have in them that gives them a little more confidence in themselves to say .."YES. I'm doing this, for me, not out of guilt or shame but because I am ready to love ME"
BTW, I love both of these pics of me, because I know where I was mentally in the first pic and my transformation has EVERYTHING to do with my mindset. I'm grateful for ME and the opportunity I said YES to.

Smile Without Hesitation
A perfect dog walk ends up running home from the rain, then sitting on the front porch to see a rainbow.
I know I'll NEVER take for granted the smell of rain, walks with Eddie and Batman or the fact that I KNOW life is about these moments that matter most.
I hope you take some time today to think about what truly matters MOST to you and without hesitation a smile comes across your face because you also decided to practice thankfulness.
