I Avoided Counseling For 17 Years, Why I Decided To Finally Go And Why You Should Consider It Too.

, , , , ,

In 2001, something bad happened to me. Something traumatic, life changing, life altering. I was in eighth grade; an innocent, barely interested in boys, totally quintessential “good girl,” in every way possible. New Years Eve of 2000, I went to sleep a trusting soul, when I woke up, I wouldn’t quite ever see the world the same again….

We strive for years and decades to prove to ourselves that we are stronger, more resilient, we are not victims. Yet if we continue to strive forever, we are not actually healing. We are pushing and proving and being all the things to all the people, but never the things we need in the deepest parts of ourselves. We need to be loved, to feel worthy, to accept, to forgive (ourselves the most), to believe, to trust, to honor the girl who experienced the traumatic event, but to let her go because she cannot be the girl we are in our most healed version of ourselves…

*warning: this is a potential traumatic trigger story written in the most gentle way possible

I Went To My First Women's Health Physical Therapy Appointment, Here's What Happened

, , , , , ,

I felt nauseous all day after writing my first blog post about my upcoming women’s health physical therapy appointment on Monday evening. It was at 5:30pm and so that left approximately ten(ish) hours of feeling seen, vulnerable, and afraid. I’m learning it’s not just the fact that my sexual & private area organs need help that I cannot take care of on my own that causes the discomfort, it’s mixed with some weird form of SHAME. I put that word in all caps, because it’s a violent word in the feminine language. It’s a word that may make you want to click off this blog right now, for the sake of your soul though, please don’t.

How do you earn money as a coach?

How do you earn money as a coach?

How do you earn money as a coach? Is this one of those pyramid things? Wait, I thought those things were illegal. Let's get the facts straight: there are two ways to earn money as a beachbody coach (25% commission on sales & a passive income stream called team cycle bonuses which occur ONLY when your coaches in your downline also have success). Most people in America don't have $1,000 in their savings account for emergencies, so it's ok if you choose to earn differently than most people do. You're not into living like everyone else anyway right?!

I'm not a Shake Person

I'm not a Shake Person

What if I told you that the shakes of the 90's ruined your mindset regarding high quality nutrition and that it could be holding you back from what your body literally needs to function at a higher level? What if this shake could help you kick bloating forever, get rid of your 3pm energy crash, and help your skin glow more from the inside out? Would you be open to trying it?
