Video Montage of my Beachbody Life!!

I literally have been thinking of this day everyday for several weeks... 

But now (of course) I have writers block. I want to bottle up all the warmth and gratitude in my heart and paint it into a beautiful bright canvas for you. Before you read on, this blog & transparency is presented to INSPIRE (never to boast or claim it was easy!).

Get P90X for FREE!!

A few days ago, I came across a picture of me from 2006. I had been doing P90X by myself in my living room for a few months -- and I was feeling good!

This was before I knew anything about having a job with Beachbody or being a distributor of these bomb dot com fitness tools. I was a user before it was cool.

WAIT ... that sounds bad.

#LiveSlowBibleStudy : What to do when you are desperate?

Finally! I feel like I was able to cohesively communicate what was on my heart .

This is week 4 of our online bible study called #LiveSlowBibleStudy. Each Thursday we meet on Periscope at 7am. And this week, I felt led to simply share my heart instead of sharing a video and carrying on with James.

I was able to share with you what God has been teaching me about hitting rock bottom. 

*BRAND NEW* You are invited to my 3-Week Online Fitness Support!

What do you do when you have 5-minutes to spill the beans on something *BRAND NEW* and ground breaking in your business??

{{ kids are waking up... momma duty commences in 3...2...}}

So here is my big news! 

My SKEPTICAL husband didn't like Beachbody!

Well, here it is folks. The world's worst video. Watch this at your own risk. If you happen to be able to HEAR anything past the hurricane sounding winds... then maybe there are some helpful nuggets.

What a team we make! LOL

My son has a new EGG ALLERGY!!

You may have heard --- and I know 100% this could be way worse. Really. I know. 

Since Leland was a baby, he has had some crazy issues with ear infections, coughing (like legit sounds like a grown man coughing up his lungs. I'm talking from 2+months on, he has had a MEAN cough. I actually thought it was signs Cystic Fibrosis).

Join my FREE 5-Day Fit Club!

I have GOT to tell you... this is the FIRST TIME EVER I am opening up my online fitness group for FREE. 

I bombed my #LiveSlowBibleStudy this morning!

Well that was a huge flop.

I am not to fancy pants to admit when I totally flop my plans. It's been fun to lead these weekly Periscope Bible Studies, learn more about it: What is #LiveSlowBibleStudy ?

If you were on my morning Periscope, yea, you saw me crash & burn. I kinda laugh about it now - but it's an excellent lesson learned. We are ALL HUMAN. 

Team Call: When things don't go your way!

WOW!! I was asked to be guest speaker on a team call of a woman I love and admire. She is brilliant and I’ve learned so much from following her journey. We all have those mentors, right? Someone that you look at and think, “yes! If she can do this, I can follow in her footsteps!” 

When I joined with Beachbody in 2013, I listened (ok, I drooled) over each of her training calls. Now… she’s asked ME (little ol’ me) to train HER team!! WHAT???

It all feels amazing and crazy and scary and right. 

Can you UNLEARN being boring?

Is it boring to have a routine? To like cause & effect.... If I do ____, I will get ______. 

Not at all! I don't think being consistent is BORING. 

However, I want to highlight my differences. I want to elevate the special gifts & passions & strengths I have... I believe we were each given unique quirks so we can USE THEM to help people. I 100% believe God made each of us super unique and special. Our responsibility -- CORRECTION -- our obligation is to use those quirks and passions to make the world a better place. 

How to overcome discouragement

If you are human, you've faced this... 

We've all dealt with feelings of inadequacy. But how in the world do we handle it when we go to sleep feeling terrible about ourselves. Wake up feeling terrible about ourselves. Walk through our day... feeling terrible about our day. 

*WARNING* This is about my income...

I know this tends to be the elephant in the room.

Let me get to the point. I try to be pretty introspective (fancy word, I so smart) and I realized that when I was a NEW COACH, I was e x t r e m e  l y motivated by success stories ahead of me. As a matter of fact, I was reading new leadership books, listening to new podcasts... and the authors kept telling me... "dream big! You can do anything you put your mind to!"

When your TEAM gives you a reality check!!

I just got SMACKED in the face with a reality check.

There are a bazillion things flooding my brain right now. One thought I am holding onto is that the group of women I get to work with are INCREDIBLE. Absolutely incredible.

Three years ago (actually, my Beachbody birthday is March 1st... coming up!), I was in a low low place. I was discouraged, tired, fighting for myself because I was slowly picking up habits that I knew would turn me into a mom-bot.  I didn't want to COAST through life like a robot. 

Do you ever feel like a big fat failure?

Join my FREE Women's ONLINE Bible Study!

For six months I have wanted to start a weekly bible study! But I have had cold feet. Really. Is that silly?

I was thinking I'd mess it all up. I was thinking I couldn't wake up early. I was thinking no one would show up.

I was thinking of all the excuses in the world. Deep down I know that in order to #liveslow and inspire that in others I needed to open myself up to discuss the #1 leadership book of all time.
