Just a little piece of my journey...

As life has been taking twists and turns in life, I've realized how much

even in my own life I've had to make adjustments.

I was a tired mom, slept very little (couldn't shut the mind off), and my health was crashing. I reached out to someone I knew from quite a few years ago from a conference I was at. She was one of those people that if she spoke, you dropped everything to listen and soaked it in.

She shared with me a little of her journey and I was inspired. I wanted some of the freedoms she was talking about. Energy to give back to my family, sleep more than 3hrs a night or at least get quality sleep, and to have better relationships with those around me.

I embarked on this journey Oct 12, 2017 on my 15th Wedding Anniversary. It was the best decision I made. I noticed energy I hadn't had since high school. I even went to a doctor appointment the next week to inquire about a sleep study. I had lost 9lbs and a few inches. She looked at me and said what are you doing. I told her and she told me no on the sleep study. She told me I was doing what she asks all her patients to do and they refuse. She said keep going and help 10 more people. Help 10 more and don't ever stop.

After 5 months, I hit my goal losing roughly 47lbs and 50". I've been maintaining for the last 4 1/2 years which to me is amazing. I heard people getting there but do you really stay there? You can. I have.

After I thought I had conquered all, inside were layers of things I needed to work through. Things that we push under a carpet and hope that they will disappear over time. One by one through the leaders on my team, they mentored me, encouraged me and helped me through. Mental health is real and I didn't realize how deep things can be.

So as a coach, I know how to achieve goals. Personal development is so important. Feeding yourself with positive affirmations. One of my deepest desires is to help others overcome life's obstacles. Knowing that you can live a life you were intended to, not what you thought your life had to be. You can live a better life. And I want to help you do just that. I'm building a team that is changing lives one at a time!

I would be so self centered if I didn't share this with you. I really have a passion in all things pertaining to our health on into aging youthfully. When I find something extraordinary for my hair, skin and nails, I can't keep it a secret. This one is too good not to share. I'd be selfish if I did. Seriously, I’m blown away by the results. For some they are fast, natural and not only does it leaving you glowing from the inside out, but I promise your skin has not been this soft in over a decade, so far it has worked on every person in one form or another, and no coaching, discomfort or strict routine is involved and it costs about what you would pay for one facial at a nice spa! Seriously blown away at that too. You’ve probably heard about the benefits of collagen! Well, this is special. After 10 years of research, my company found a Type 1 collagen in the ocean off of Scandinavia and made an elixir with aloe vera, chamomile, vitami...
