Two Versions

183211040_10102572315336812_2495750326608751089_n.jpg

Today in my Coach group we are sharing a transformation and while some might not see a lot of difference, I see a WORLD of difference in these pics.

And I'm thankful to say I love BOTH of these versions of myself.

That first pic is me at my VERY FIRST Zumba class...which also happened to be my getting licensed day too

That day back in 2008....I was scared out of MIND and so so nervous, it seemed like EVERYONE in the class had a Dance background and some Fitness certification already...Both of which I DIDN'T have.

I felt so unqualified to be there, but by the end of the day I was exhausted but also exhilarated bc I love music and dancing and always have.

So that's what I focused on going forward and to this day if I'm freaking nervous about something I just remember that day and think....i"f I didn't try then I wouldn't be where I am now....."

I actually just talked to a Fellow instructors, and also now Coaches, about this...scared to death to start sharing thier journey and inviting people to get healthy with them....so I asked, how is this different than your FIRST EVER Zumba class you ever taught?!?!? Weren't you scared then!?!?

I mean I know I was...praying before during and even after class that the students didn't hate me or hoping that I wouldn't forget choreo(still have those nightmares)....but truly ANYTHING you do that scares you is ONLY scary because you haven't done it ENOUGH. So how do you get past that uneasiness?!?! ONLY ONE WAY

& You ready know the answer. Keep showing up. Keep showing up...oh and yea don't forget....
KEEP SHOWING UP

Thank you Zumba and thank you Coaching, these last 13 and 7 years have taught me to keep going...and I am hoping my story inspires those too scared to take action. You aren't alone. You never will be. I feel you, because I am you...and together #wegotthis now go do it

Meet Shaun T

182601194_10102571534845922_2744890556964083002_n.jpg

He is THE #1 REASON why I became a Coach. When we filmed Max30 at the end of one of the rehearsals he asked us to come together in a group huddle. Sweaty and and barely able to stand, and still breathing deep his voice quivered and he talked about what these programs will do for people...he mentions it in this video (below) and his passion was there then and it's still here today.

We were all in tears feeling the positive impact that this will have for someone. They will see an infomercial, or something on social media that inspires them to WANT that change. They will finally do something FOR THEM, that could literally save their life and even their family members. This is such a ripple effect and I am BEYOND excited to be able to do another one of his programs.... If you have 6 minutes please watch. It's worth it. And if you want to be a part of that ripple, My Body Positive MOVE-Ment group starts May 17th, and yes YOU are invited. Click here for more info.

This could change your life...just like it did for me.

Wednesdays Unplugged

182872598_10102571372216832_4619811138656216541_n.jpg

Wednesdays I try to UNPLUG from work and today after some yoga Candace and I rode her electric bikes!!!!! Thanks for the fun trip, Candace!

Have you guys ever ridden an electric bike!?!?!?

TBH I was a little nervous, when I was 18 I tried riding a moped and I sped up when I should have slowed down while on a curve....and yup, flew right off of it with some road burn. BUT 20 years later I'm happy to say this was a much more pleasant experience...and I'm so down to do it again

2 Weeks to Body Positive Movement

182255747_10102569574853762_4116030221639995992_n.jpg

SO WHAT IS THIS BODY POSITIVE MOVEMENT THAT STARTS IN 2 WEEKS!?!?

When I joined 7 years ago, I hid in shame from my envy of others success.. I also hid because of my emotional and binge eating. I NEVER thought joining this Online community could help me with those areas of my life. You could say I accepted my defeat and wasn't aware...or maybe I didn't give myself PERMISSION to have something better for my life.

And NO, I didn't change over night, instead I had the resources and the right community that inspired me daily to look at and see what I COULD control. I went from Victim to Victor and guys, I'm STILL learning and STILL growing from this.

But this isn't about me...ya know why I am so freaking excited about this Body Positive MOVEMENT!?!?

5 reasons

1 I will see people squash self limiting beliefs...just like I did.

2 I will watch them unleash potential they already had...just like I did.

3 they will feel so connected to a community who WANTS to see them succeed...just like I did.

4 They will learn to Heal Holistically and become educated on what REAL nutrition is and how when we love our body, we eat like we love our body....just like I did(and no shame with treats...bc YES they allowed

5 They will find joy in how their body moves from our 30 minutes, 6 days a week freaking FUN workouts that create JOY & celebrates who we are NOW rather than thinking celebrating only when "goals" are met.

This is body positivity.

I could have NEVER done this on my own, and I'm here to say, you don't have to either!!!

My group starts in 2 weeks!!! Would you like to join us? Fill out the Body Positive MOVE-Ment form here.

Keep Saying It

179361999_10102565233718432_1695605105740526590_n.jpg

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

179538196_10102564478332232_976907788609362169_n.jpg

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.

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.
