Camden's FIRST Splash Pad experience

Camden had his first splash pad experience today. We figured out a way to let him get wet and protect his casts still, and that little fish was in heaven wheeling around getting splashed. ❤
Only 3 more weeks of the casts for his club feet and then he'll get his AFO braces and we can practice standing and walking!! 

It was SO MUCH fun to get together with our other Spina Bifida Fetal Surgery friends and talk and let the kids play. I remember when we first got the diagnosis, we were scared- we didn't know what to expect ATALL.. But then we found the Facebook group for those who've had the fetal surgery for Spina Bifida and everything changed. We felt supported, understood, we had hope seeing other kids who were older and we had other parents to talk to who just get it.

I love these Moms and their kids so much and loved seeing them take over the splash pad together 😍.

Guess what -  I'm just a small town Idaho girl who decided to GO FOR IT.
No special DNA,
My life didn't stop to make this is timing perfect or easy, actually I started this during the most stressful time of my life!
I didn't have a huge network of fitness peeps or business peeps-- quite the opposite!

I'm just me, over here connecting with normal people, MOMS like me-- who just want more out of life.

I'm not some special case who lucked out.
Just a hard-worker who had AMBITION and saw the VISION that my DREAMS really could come true if I worked hard enough. And guess what, those dreams are coming true as we speak! It's an amazing feeling to watch it all unfold. Even better? Watching my TEAM's dreams come true- THAT is true success.

Are you AMBITIOUS? DRIVEN? MOTIVATED?

Do you love fitness and health and want to help others with that PASSION?

My everything

My heart could burst looking at this picture... 

💜💜💜

 

We're just hanging out watching basketball after a couple hours of playing out in the water.

I feel like the luckiest girl alive. These faces are my everything.. When I look at them I see unconditional love, I see devotion to truth, I see persistence to stand up for what they want and what's right, I see happiness over the little things in life, I see big dreams and they are my WHY.

I want them to experience the world and to chase their dreams, and to show them how to never give up when you want something bad enough.

They are the peanut butter to my chocolate, the hummus to my veggies, and I love that they love snuggling while we watch the NBA Finals 

❤😍🏀

Think you have to be perfect to be a coach???...think again...

Ever thought you could never be a coach because of your "failures" or because you're not "fit" or "perfect?"

Let's take a look at my "resume":

If we walked around with signs that were like our resumes for life...It kinda stinks looking at mine. Not exactly the "IDEAL CANDIDATE" to teach people how to overcome negative thinking, or how to eat healthy, or how to finish a workout program, etc. wink emoticon haha! Kinda funny how I'm helping people with things that are my struggles and failures right?? If I had to apply to a BOSS, and show him my resume, I can guarantee you that no one would hire me - especially for what I do right now!

So I'm pretty grateful for a job that I can do from home, where I didn't have to have someone look at just my "victories" or my "successes" to see if I would be an "ideal candidate." After all, how many bosses want to hear about your behind the scene victories?? I'm grateful that with what I do, it's all about being REAL, and I'm able to help people because I'VE BEEN THERE! I've been in the trenches, and somedays I STILL AM! I'm grateful that I'm able to share these FAILURES, and show how I'm working to overcome them. I'm so grateful that I'm able to use my trials to help others in this way. I'm so grateful to be part of a company where they have the BEST products available to literally change people's lives. I'm SO GRATEFUL for this job where I'm able to work on myself every single day.


Was it completely natural to start sharing my story and be vulnerable?? NO!! Did I start out with a lot of social media experience?? NO! I didn't even have a smart phone when I started, didn't know what Instagram or Twitter was and I re-opened by Facebook account after having closed it for a year and just jumped in and learned and shared my ups and downs of Mom life! Since then, I've had people in challenge groups month after month, sharing what I've learned, sharing my recipes, sharing what we eat as a family, sharing how I make this work with young kids, cheering people on, pushing them to break down their barriers, and watching people's health drastically change. It's been AHHHHMAZING! This has turned into something that has more than doubled our income, and is continually growing. A full time income from home - I never DREAMED that was possible! It's been something that I know Heavenly Father was preparing me for because That's what has allowed us to have the fetal surgery, pay off debt, get caught up on mine and Camden's medical bills, get a new reliable vehicle, go on family vacations etc, SAVE SAVE SAVE and ultimately RETIRE Chris from his government job and now he's able to chase HIS dreams. This has shown me how something I've always dreamed of..making a difference in this world, can come to pass when you get VULNERABLE and realize that your personal battles are there for a REASON! We're not alone in these...everyone has them, but when we unite together, we can fight them together and succeed. This has been a tender mercy in our lives.

So I'm grateful for my failures. My big giant life full of things I was once so embarrassed by, - I'm now grateful for. They used to be my labels..but now they've refined me into someone I'm learning to love. I wouldn't be the same without them. And there's a reason you have the ones that you have too!

You may not want me as your coach because of them, but I'm showing you that no matter what YOU struggle with or look like, YOU can coach too. Because your story is there to help others. You will be able to help people that NEED you to be vulnerable. And your income will always be a direct reflection of those lives you help change. There are people all over the world that are at home struggling just like you and by a simple post on social media, you could be the one that pulls them out. That's how it happened for me.

I want to talk to 5 people that want to WORK on themselves inside and out.
I want to talk to 5 people that want to inspire others.
I want to talk to 5 people that OWN their failures and struggles.
I want to talk to 5 people that are ready to get our of debt and secure their future
I want to talk to 5 people that have dreams and goals for their future and want to make those happen.

No more being scared.
No more hiding .. it's YOUR time to break out of that shell and start LIVING <3.

I am possible!!

Start something that matters..

*No matter how small you start, START something that matters*

You may not be good at first - who cares?

You become what you want, by EVERY DAY LIVING THAT!

There are things in your life that you never even imagined were possible, until you started marching towards them..for days, weeks, months years...who cares how long it takes, because when you get there it's WORTH IT, and the person you become in the process is WORTH IT.

I didn't know ANY OF THIS was possible, this life that Coaching has provided... We were working 2 jobs, making minimum wage during our first 3 children and thanks to Medicaid, that covered the healthcare. If someone had told me that in a couple years we would have a baby that needed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical care, I would shrivel up and cry because that wouldn't have been possible. I pour my heart out in gratitude each day for the courage to march towards our dreams. Heavenly Father knew this would be possible for us thanks to coaching. He knew we would jump at this opportunity and He knew what it would do for our family. And He knew that we would be vulnerable and share it with the world so others could be blessed as well.

I didn't think anyone like ME, could be successful doing something like this. I didn't have the "experience" or education, and that doesn't matter. What I do have is HEART, and LOVE, and I have a desire to learn, and to START.

I JUST STARTED. And I marched towards my goals every single day. Embracing failure, embracing the criticism, embracing my brain's negative thoughts that tried to keep me complacent...

But I knew that there was so much more out there and I wasn't going to stop.

Sometimes the real ambitions, the real fulfillment OPENS UP TO YOU as you are marching towards your dreams. That's when the goal gets clear, and your yellow brick road opens up.

IT'S ONLY IN MOMENTUM THAT THINGS GET CLEAR!

Sitting down and THINKING and guessing and doubting..there's not going to be an epiphany THERE. It's only in that action in moving towards the goal that the path becomes clear.

I saw where I was supposed to go as I started moving...Heavenly Father opened up my eyes to everything that was possible and to my purpose and my abilities to make a difference, to do something that matters after I started moving.

Where you are RIGHT NOW, has nothing to do with where you CAN BE. Stop believing that you can't, just because it SEEMS impossible. Everything seems impossible before you start.

<3 Once you start moving - you see that it's possible. <3

What can happen in 4 years....

It was interesting to see facebook show me a post from 4 years...it said:

"11 more hours and we get to spend a couple days with Chris!!"

It took me back in time to when we were living apart for a few months. Chris was doing his internship in Vegas, and I was in Idaho Falls getting ready to have our 3rd baby in 4 years. Those months were hard to be separated like that. I found this picture that was just a couple weeks before having McKinley..I was taking Addison and Mason to a carnival alone, and I remember how overwhelmed I was. I was praying that the induction would work out okay so that Chris could be there for the birth. I was dreading the thought of him heading back to Vegas soon after. I was worrying about what we would do if he didn't get this job. We were living on Government aid, skyping with Chris at night, and praying that he would get this job so we could get out of the hard times that we were in.

4 weeks after the delivery, we took a leap of faith and the kids and I packed everything up and moved down to be with him. We didn't have the job yet, but we were believing that he would get it, and we just wanted to be a family again. We lived in an extended stay hotel, then in an apt, and then we finally got the job and were able to rent our FIRST house. The years of apartment living were finally over. Things were looking up, but there was something inside that said, "there's more."

We wanted to feel good, we wanted to be healthy and strong, we wanted freedom of debt, to have savings, freedom of TIME, freedom to vacation and to see family, and to secure our future, and freedom of depression and anxiety.

10 months later we signed up as Beachbody coaches to work on ourselves and get the coach discount. Everything changed from that moment forward. Together we lost 100 lbs, we got in the best shape of our lives, the depression was lifting, we were becoming positive, ambitious, productive and started dreaming big.

That picture 4 years ago reminds me of how far we've come. It reminds me that no matter where you are, how low you are, the despair you may be feeling like I did....

There is light at the end of the tunnel if you BELIEVE, if you take opportunities, and if you FIGHT for your dreams.

The picture on the right is everything I had dreamed of. To wake up and LOVE my life, to have that freedom mentally, physically, financially, and most importantly TIME. Was the journey easy?? No...we experienced some of our hardest times of our lives along the way, but because of everything we had learned as coaches, and the mental strength we had developed - we went through those trials with a different perspective.

And now - 2.5 years later Chris is retired from that government job, chasing his dreams. We are making a solid 6 figure income from home, with the freedom to live where we want, pay for the medical care that my youngest son with Spina Bifida needs, help others and live life by design.

It doesn't matter where you are - you can start NOW to fight for your dreams and for the life you want to live. It made ZERO sense to start coaching when I did. I was home with 3 kinds under 4 by myself for 13 hours a day..but I KNEW that I could do this. I KNEW this would help me turn into the person I always wanted to be, and I fell in love with the journey of helping others. It's a DREAM COME TRUE.

Take this leap with me, and let's make your dreams come true. You can apply here: https://unbreakablenation.wufoo.com/forms/coach-application/
