I'm so thankful for the journey that's brought me here.
My STORY
Having a business on social media was not something I ever thought would be a possibility.
I am literally the most awkward introvert ever.
I had worked in the dental industry for over 20 years. It was a job I chose as a teenager because I had terrible teeth and needed them fixed. And while I loved everyone I worked with… I started to realize that I wasn’t truly passionate about it. I felt lost. It was all I had known.
I reached a point 3 years ago where I just felt numb inside. I couldn’t find joy in things that I normally loved. I wanted something different, but didn’t know where to start. I had anxiety, I was struggling emotionally, dealing with embarrassing gut issues, battling an eating disorder & food guilt because I thought I needed to look better. I wanted to be fit and confident, but anytime I started an exercise program I would end up giving up because everything was just so confusing.
I felt like I had lost myself & I knew something needed to change.
During that time I had been watching these women on instagram who were living a healthy lifestyle, who had so much confidence, and were staying consistent with their health while helping others.
The introvert in me secretly LOVED the idea of having a business from my phone… but was always too scared to try. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone this dream of mine because I didn’t think I would ever be good enough… (I mean, who am I to help someone? I'm a wreck!) But I just kept thinking.. Maybe if I committed to showing up on social media for accountability and sharing my journey it would help me stay consistent so I could become healthy & confident too! (and how cool would it be if I earned a little money at the same time!?!)
THAT ONE LITTLE DECISION IS WHAT CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME!
IT’S about SO MUCH MORE THAN THE PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION
I partnered with BODi feeling nervous, scared, embarrassed….at day one of my health journey, worried about what others would think or say about me, not knowing anything about sales.. But I just started sharing and showing up despite my fears every day. And for the first time in my life I was staying consistent, I completed a workout program, I was seeing results, healing my gut, and feeling so dang confident in my own skin! Something that at the age of 36 I had never felt in my entire life. I was happy. I was proud of myself.
I never thought I would build a full time business out of this but as I was showing up in my messy life, I was inspiring other women to take action on their health too, those women who needed a change, who needed to find themselves & feel good again! I soon came to realize what a passion I have for this. I fell in love with all of it. The business, the people I was helping, the lives that were changing, how I was feeling… I NEVER LOOKED BACK.
When I had people watching my journey, I knew I had to commit at a higher level so my fitness and health started to improve even more. The business model allowed me to get paid for inviting people to join me and eventually I quit my job in the dental office and took control of my time.
this was the first time in my life that i chose to do something for me
Something that I truly wanted to do, not something that was needed. But something that I was passionate about, something of my very own.
And in that choice I was able to find myself again.
This journey over the past 5+ years has brought so many opportunities and newfound passions into my life, including learning and understanding how much nutrition truly affects our overall health. This inspired me to go back to school to get certified as a Nutritionist.
I finally learned what my body (and mind) needs to be healthy and to thrive. I’ve healed my relationship with food, learned to manage my mindset, and now I’m the happiest AND healthiest I’ve ever been.
I led my BODi team to incredible milestones before the company decided to remove the Coach/Partner Opportunity, and was no longer able to serve my clients in the same way. I made the big decision to pivot my business and become a certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss Health Coach. I now teach other women how to reach their goals with a proven framework that prioritizes intermittent fasting, whole-food nutrition, and effective strength training workouts. I’m passionate about helping you achieve results while creating new thought patterns and habits that will serve you for a lifetime.
