Freedom

I believe our ability to dream, is our heart's way of telling us what we're meant to do...we wouldn't have that dream, if it didn't connect with us, if we didn't already have what it takes inside to make it happen.

Ever since I was little, I always had a dream to save everyone. I wanted FREEDOM to go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I wanted to save animals that were abused, I wanted to go save all the homeless and starving children, I wanted to make a difference and I knew in order to do that, I would deserve to be financially free. My heart BREAKS when I see someone or something hurting - and somehow, I knew God would help me create a way to be an instrument of CHANGE. I had no clue how to make that happen, and after getting married and being BROKE and having children so quickly - I started to lose myself. I started to lose those passions and I knew I never wanted to work away from home. Being present with my kids is top priority. I wanted them to be able to chase their dreams and expand their talents and take them to explore the world...but that took money, and we didn't have that extra money to provide that. There HAD to be something I could do from home that MATTERED, that I LOVED, that would supplement our income.. But that seemed impossible...almost TOO good to be true.
Yet - I dreamed of that FREEDOM anyway.

Enter Beachbody Coaching....here's where the happy tears come in....
Not only does this:
>Change our HEALTH
>Provide extra accountability for us to reach our goals
>Allow us to be part of an incredible mission that changes lives
>That has not only supplemented our income, but allowed us to retire Chris and do this together full time
>Allows us to go on vacations whenever we want
>Allows us to meet people from all over the world via social media
>Allows us to share our struggles and help others
>Allows us to provide medically for Camden
>Allows us to bond and build a team that is like FAMILY

The list can go on and on - but we get to LIVE our DREAM. I still get to help people...I may not be saving homeless children at the moment, but there are times when I'm talking with women, and I'm saving them. I've been in those dark places like they are, and I get to share how I pulled myself out. I get to BE a BETTER Mom for them because of coaching. And as I pay that forward - families are changing.

This picture may seem so silly and simple - but taking our kids to Disneyland for the first time and to make those memories on the rides, see their faces when they hug characters, go to the ocean - it was a DREAM. I wanted that freedom of TIME to go anywhere for a week and be FREE.

I can't NOT pay this opportunity forward. Everyone deserves that freedom, whatever that may look like to you. I'm opening a FREE COACH SNEAK PEEK today, where you can see what coaching is all about.

Our Beachbody Income Progression

~~~ Vulnerable Post ~~~~~~

I have NEVER shared a post like this in my life. It makes me extremely uncomfortable, but this feeling has not left me the last couple months and I've learned to listen to those feelings. I pray that the emotion and gratitude can be felt through this post of what Beachbody Coaching has provided our family and that whoever this post is meant for - will know that this same opportunity is there for them. I type this in hopes of inspiring..and of showing what is possible when you draw a line in the sand and say NO MORE to the negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that have held you captive...and take a leap of faith and jump, knowing you DO have the wings to fly.

I'm the girl who grew up hiding in the shadows..the girl who never had that belief system...the girl who hated looking in the mirror. I'm the girl who failed at college, who got her dental assisting certificate but never did the internship because she was scared of messing up and failing. I'm the Mom who lost herself while having 3 kids in 4 years, where during that time we survived on food stamps, medicaid and my husband did everything he could to get us in a better situation working 2 jobs and going to school.

We got a job after he graduated, moved away from family to Las Vegas where we didn't know anyone. Things were improving, we were paying off debt, but living paycheck to paycheck and I woke up one day wondering if this was it. If I was going to always have this eating disorder that kept trying to come back after each kid. I was wondering if we would ever be in a position where we could go on dates. If I would ever be able to put my kids in dance and soccer and piano lessons. I caught myself losing my patience so often and I thought, "this isn't what I want my kids to remember. This isn't the Mom I thought I would be."

Long story short - we found Beachbody and I felt that flame inside of me come alive a little bit. That flame that always said - THERE'S MORE. I knew this decision was going to change our health, but I had no idea as I shared my journey from day 1 that it would turn into a passion that brought me alive again. 6 months in, Chris and I had lost 100lbs combined, he was weaning off his depression medication, I was no longer taking naps, I was waking up with excitement for the day, I was playing with my kids and I felt ALIVE as I was talking with other women each day and finding myself again as my feelings about myself changed.

Fast forward to our 1 year mark...I was matching Chris's income, I was coming home from a Leadership Retreat I had earned and at our 20 week ultrasound we found out that our baby boy had Spina Bifida. Our whole lives took a 180 turn, and over the next couple months I was undergoing a fetal surgery that was a risk to my life, because we knew without a doubt that this would greatly benefit Camden's life as they went inside and closed up his back and tucked him back inside of me. I was then on strict bed rest in the hospital away from my family, and I had to take a step back from coaching. In those days - I had never been so scared in my life. I was scared that since my water had broke that Camden would come any day and it was just too early for that. I was scared because my husband was at his lowest time with his OCD and anxiety...I couldn't be there to take care of my kids and I couldn't be there for my team. I was so completely overwhelmed.

After Camden came and we came home from the NICU, I battled jumping back into coaching. After a few months, I found myself with dark thoughts again, and I wanted to quit because I didn't know how to do it all. But I realized that I missed what coaching did for me. I missed the personal development, I missed the daily interactions with my team, I missed talking with my challengers and seeing them succeed. I missed what coaching did for me, and so I revisited my big goal to bring Chris home and made a schedule with how to do this with 4 little kids at home, doctor appointments, and everything else and dived into Personal Development and quickly found my passion again.

Chris retired in March of this year. We moved to Utah to be closer to Primary Children's Hospital and Shriner's and through all of this I can't help but see God's hand in our lives. He prepared us for this time in our life with Beachbody.

~Because of Beachbody...I was healthy enough to qualify for the fetal surgery.
~Because of Beachbody....we were financially prepared for these surgeries and endless medical costs.
~Because of Beachbody...we had a weekly paycheck coming in while I was in the hospital.
~Because of Beachbody...Chris was able to find and have calls with the top OCD expert in the world each week and overcome this and be FREE.
~Because of Beachbody...We can get Camden the care he deserves and both work with him at home to help him walk and take on the world.
~Because of Beachbody....We have the freedom of TIME to be together as a family,  the time to serve more and do what we LOVE which is meeting and helping others.
~Because of Beachbody....I've been able to learn about food, realize my strength and face my eating disorder head on and take care of myself in a healthy way.
~Because of Beachbody....I've been able to meet people from all over the world, create a team that are like family to me, and see them succeeding, see them growing and see the ripple effect that each one of us can have in this world.

I could go on and on, but as we approach our 3 year anniversary with coaching, I smile to see God's hand in our lives. He knew what was coming and he prepared us mentally, physically, financially and spiritually. When times came that would have been easy to quit, I got to draw on that strength that I knew I had. When the road ahead looked impossible, I looked at the only option that was available to me and that was succeeding. I knew that there were still people out there that I could reach and help, and I was never going to quit on them.

I am beyond grateful to do something that I LOVE, and where FREEDOM is possible and what you do each day MATTERS. I love our team, I love the mission we're on and I want everyone to lock arms and do this too. You can apply here to have top training: https://unbreakablenation.wufoo.com/forms/coach-application/

:Vulnerable post:

The last few months, I've resented this line up. This is the behind the scenes. I've been bitter that my body would basically crash and burn after what I went through the year we found out Camden had Spina Bifida and the following year after he came. My body shut down, and has struggled to absorb all the nutrition I WAS/HAVE been taking in. I was frustrated because I had finally gotten in the best shape of my life 2 years ago. I was fitter, leaner and stronger than ever, and I've longed for those days. I've fallen back into negative thinking about my body and feeling insecure as a coach that I'm not there anymore.

Hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalances and deficiencies are no joke. I've never felt so depleted, exhausted, out of whack and crazy in my entire life. I have to catch my breath after carrying groceries in the house, I forget everything and have had crazy up and down swings. I felt like I was trapped in a body that wasn't mine!

Here's the silver lining ......
This mess is my message -
This test is strengthening my testimony.

The last couple weeks, I've worked really hard through Personal Development and positive affirmations to love me. To love this lesson I've been blessed with. To love the growth process this will take me through. To love me at all shapes, sizes and health stages.

I can do this. I will heal. I will get back there. I will love this lineup that is natural and will get my body level. I will count my blessings. I will take it one day at a time. I will remember that nothing can take my power from me. My spirit is who I am.. Not my body. I'm a fighter. I'm a survivor and I will come out of this stronger than ever.

Nothing can dull your sparkle.

Everything happens for a reason.

I am unbreakable❤

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 😍. 

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

Why Not YOU??

I woke up this morning with such a grateful heart and I poured out my heart in a prayer of gratitude to my Heavenly Father, for placing this opportunity in my life.

I don't know about you, but It's not every day that you can combine your own personal health and fitness, your family, a team of some of your closest friends and your business together and create this amazing life that truly has given you such unbelievable freedom! I remember just 3 years ago - I woke up with this pit in my stomach, this dread of facing the day, this frustration looking in the mirror and I so desperately wanted CHANGE!!!

So my goal for the month of May is to continue to pay that forward! I'm accepting 5 * NEW COACHES onto my team to be personally mentored by me! We have a top ten team training system, a team that will welcome you with open arms and we're united as Unbreakable Nation with a goal to lift up, inspire and assist women in finding their purpose, strength and letting their light SHINE!!

My commitment is to teach you exactly what I have done to be successful the past 2.5 years and how I was able to retire my husband from working at home with 4 little kids running around, diaper changes, car pool and all! We have a duplicatable system teaches you how to share vs sell, how to lead by example, how to use social media if you have no idea what you are doing {which was totally me} and to reach the level of success that you strive for!

Whether this is a hobby or a full time career or somewhere in the middle, we can make it work for you!

But what I'm looking for is 5 highly motivated people that are go getters, are passionate about helping others, are committed to their own health and fitness and truly want to learn how to make this business grow!!!

Now is the time----> Trust me there are no perfect conditions! If you want to make a change you have to leap and build your wings on the way down! I am so grateful I did...and having 3 kids under 4 at the time wasn't exactly CONVENIENT, but I wanted CHANGE! You can do it too!!
