Mexico 🇲🇽. It’s a big deal. I’ve never been. It’s a new stamp for my passport. Never fancied myself a passport kind o’ girl. I was a WIC and food-stamp girl. I shuffled my feet and looked at the floor when all the other moms at the gym talked about where they were going with their husband or where their kids were trekking off to for spring break. I just thought I was stuck and that stuff like leftover white sand in the bottom of a nice suitcase, paying bills on time, and nail polish... weren’t in the cards for me. I’d never been anywhere. But 3 years ago my husband and I earned a trip to the Caribbean. 2 years ago to the Dominican Republic. And this year to Mexico. Why do I routinely talk about my home fitness biz? Because it’s changed my life completely. Listen, I worked (work) my butt off. But I can wholeheartedly say my life is radically better because of this company! Money means TIME and FREEDOM for me. Time with loved ones. Memories. Experiences. Freedom to set my own goals, deadlines, hours and so much more. I’m always looking for teammates. Our mission is to help people live healthy fulfilling lives which is exactly what I do every single day. It scratches my crazy itch to live an impactful, meaningful, purpose-filled existence. If you are hardworking, passionate and ambitious hit me up for HOW this whole thing works: [email protected]

What a great day for savagery. That’s what I thought when I got ready for the day. Then I got served a dose of humble pie. 3 big helpings. I started my PiYo class somehow to a P90X playlist. I couldn’t find the right music to mic balance, (classic rookie maneuver) so my instruction was punctuated by nails-on-a-chalkboard feedback, then? I totally forgot my choreography. Like brain left the building!!!!!! Thank goodness 😅 I teach to the coolest people on the planet 🌎 who pretended it was the greatest class ever. The moral of this story: my bra lied. But I still love it. It’s forgiven.  |
