I’ve sat here all day sick on the couch recovering my lost voice. —— Getting ready to board another plane tomorrow, and honestly thinking “how can I possibly explain how impactful retreats are?” ——— Truth is my brain got tired for thinking of special marketing language. So I’m just gonna speak from my heart, if that’s cool.... ——— I went to this retreat in Bali that utterly rocked my world (in a good way). ———- Just me getting there required me to let go of limiting beliefs. ———- And I got in touch with the real me. ________ The one who listens to the spirit. The one who follows the prompting. ———- Without LISTENING to the excuses, and can’ts and the “I would, but”.. ———- That’s the language of someone who doesn’t value themselves enough to invest in their future. ———— It’s someone who is living in fear and letting it rule them. ———— That was me. ———— But I was so sick of living in fear. Fed up with second guessing everything that I felt truly called to do. Always questioning myself. Never feeling good enough. ———- F* it. ——— It took one decision. To put myself and my needs as a priority. ——— To stop hiding & playing small. And then I showed up ready to play all out. ______ Retreats transform. They connect us to ourselves and create deep intimacy with others. ______ No more of this fake life. No more of this small talk. But truth and connection. ________ My next retreat will be held in Wilmington, NC Sept. 21-23 and I can promise you if you commit, play all out and set the intention to transform- it will happen. ________ Create.Believe.Conquer. 2018 Retreat is about women creating a vision, believing in themselves and harnessing their true feminine power. ———— The only question is, are you ready to play full out? ________ Link in bio.

Everyone just wants to be happy right? But what brings happiness? What brings true joy? A smoking hot body? A passionate relationship? A fulfilling career? ———-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know the answer because we’ve all been there. We got the thing we wanted and we still weren’t happy. ————-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me my joy comes from knowing I was created. Just perfectly imperfect as I am. My faith that I have been saved and given a chance to make an impact in this world - one person at a time - makes me happy. —————⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My growth in my relationship to God makes me happy. It also frustrates me sometimes like I should be farther along by now. —————-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But my joy comes from within. Paul said that his circumstances don’t matter because his joy is in the Lord. I believe that is true, because even when I am down, defeated, broken and questioning, I know that I am loved and cared for by the Most High. ————⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Satan will come around and mess with my thoughts and emotions because he knows I’m here to make an impact. ————-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My growth is a blessing. My hurts will be worked into good. —————⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is what I believe. And some may think it’s living in a fantasy world. And logic doesn’t prove it, and how can you really know.... ——————⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve had too many God moments to question whether or not there’s a God who loves me. ————-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My life is one big giant “coincidence” and I laugh when the Creator puts me in a room with the exact perfect person, especially when they’ve been praying for the same thing, and we’re like “yep, of course, this is fantastically normal” lol —————⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And for those who don’t know what to believe, that’s okay. I look forward to having more conversations about this and don’t shy away from open discussion about why I believe what I do. __________⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I could never convince anyone of anything. There’s this little thing called the Holy Spirit that tugs at people’s hearts. Ever since I’ve been following that prompting, my joy has been overwhelming. __________⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe we are in each others lives for a reason. To learn, and to grow. And I call these call these divine connections.🙏 . . . 📸 @funkyjakub via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Kqcj3Y

Last Friday I was on a 20+ hour flight to Sydney & then on to Bali for a transformational retreat called elevate. ———— I had so much expectation in my heart & all kinds of plans for my business in my head. ________ When I got there I received so much more. Of course I got to go to 2 waterfalls, and stay in an amazing 5 star resort. But I didn’t go there for vacation. _________ I went there to transform. _________ I went to leave things behind. _________ To meet new family. _________ And to challenge my mindset. _________ And I came back with so much more than I could have even imagined. The elevate. tribe now holds me accountable and knows my vision & values. ________ And yes, I’ve come back with pink hair and a hoop nose ring. ________ Why? _______ When I look in the mirror I want to challenge myself to rise to my potential. I want to question the way I’ve done things, and even who I’ve been. Because I’m on a path to my potential. And I love meeting people who are also on the path. _______ It’s fun and freeing to re-invent yourself. ———- And you can do it at any age and at any time! ________ If you’re ready to come together, challenge your current mindset and leave with a new tribe, click the link above to come to my next beach retreat in Wilmington, NC | Sept. 21-23. _________ Maybe you will leave with a new tattoo? You’ll definitely leave with a new tribe. Either way, you’ll leave limiting beliefs behind. And take a step closer towards your potential. via Instagram https://ift.tt/2n9UsFj

How many times do I question how my body looks? _________ I mean with beach season here in the US (and Bali)...I think every woman cringes a little bit inside when putting on that bathing suit (or bathers for my Aussie friends. 🇦🇺) ________ I will tell you the truth. I’m a self love coach who doesn’t always fully LOVE every part of myself. _______ Being in the fitness industry for over 10 years - there’s a comparison game we play. How can I get a bigger butt...how can I make my waist tinier....and bring my quads down? ________ These questions still ring in my head when I look at myself, especially compared to “normal” women not in the fitness industry. _________ I’m 5’3” but compared to a woman who doesnt train, I’m a huge beast - or so I feel. 💪 _________ I bring this up to say, even the self love teachers struggle with self love. That’s why “we teach what we most need to learn”. __________ What I can say is confidence is a muscle and can be exercised. When I’m told we have to put on our bathing suits (or bathers) and head down to the beach, I can now grab them with confidence regardless of my current body fat %. _______ How? Because I’ve picked apart my body enough. In this moment I can’t change my stretch marks. I can’t make my thighs smaller. And I can’t make my belly rolls go away. # What I CAN do is choose to enjoy the moment with friends or family and not live life in regret by obsessing over my imperfections. _________ We are all imperfect. Even that IG model you adore. She probably has a black mustache 😂. _________ The moment we can accept ourselves for not being perfect is the moment that we can finally be happy and feel grateful for the body we were given. ________ Now, this is a place from which we can start a physical & mental transformation. Until then we will just be in a cycle of hating ourselves & dieting forever. __________ I show women how to stop the hate, throw the diet book in the trash, and start doing things that bring them joy. From here, the body does amazing things - becomes sexier, fitter, and more toned. All from giving a little more love. ________ Let’s try this approach together 💕 . . . . 📸: @turahmilo via Instagram https://ift.tt/2AC1n3p

If you’re like me & @anna_willard_ you’ve struggled with seeking other people’s approval. ________ I mean I lived on approval for most of my life. I wanted people to tell me that what I was doing was good and right. ________ I was also seeking approval & worthiness of myself which led to all kinds of decisions that weren’t fulfilling. ________ On Episode 14 of Fit Faith Freedom podcast kettlebell expert & empowerment coach @anna_willard_ and I discuss overcoming back injuries, accepting where we are, and seeing other people’s success as a motivator instead of comparison. _________ Have a listen on iTunes, subscribe & leave a review! ☝️Link in bio☝️ via Instagram https://ift.tt/2AzQ8sj

Processing all the changes that need to be made after my Bali retreat. 🌴 ______ We dug deep into our vision & values and imagined sitting across from our potential self. ________ Sometimes it can seem like we have soooooo far to go to get where we want to be. _______ It can make us feel alone, and like it’s just too big a job for us to handle alone. _______ And it’s true. _______ For me I have to remember the supernatural power of God is what changes me. _______ I can take the actions, but the change in my heart comes from a higher power and my desires change as I become more fully aligned to the prompting of the spirit. ________ This enables me to change my perspective, and know that the Creator of the Universe is here supporting me through transformation. 💕 ________ Each day more aligned with my values & closer to my vision. ________ Thank you to @iamjoelbrown for teaching & leading through faith. 🙏 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2OuIUZH

It turns out I’m into yoga now. ——- Doing yoga on a rooftop in Bali under the moon will change a person. 🌙 ______ My body was (and still is) so tight. There’s areas of pain that are being healed each day. I’m going deep into the discomfort. ________ My workout routine has always been intense. Heavy. Fast. Hard. Just like my life practice. ________ Now I’m learning to flow. To listen to my body. To stop feeling like I “should” workout “this way” or “that way”. ————— One of my values is flow. And flow means letting go of the old ways not serving us. And not clinging to how we used to do things. ____________ We don’t owe anyone an explanation if we want to change the way we do things. ———— It’s about being in alignment with ourselves, not about doing what people expect us to do. 🙏 __________ Namaste, bitches. 😇 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2LEfH0H

This guy right here is responsible for so many breakthroughs this week. _______ @emilesteenveld allows the space for us to just be. ——— We go through life wearing masks. Showing up how people think we should. Or how we think we should. _______ We say we want one thing, but the actions we take are in complete opposition to our goals. _______ If we want to breakthrough we have to commit fully to the process. ________ Here with @stassifitness and so many other beautiful people who are doing the work and leaving that bullshit behind. ________ We tell ourselves stories that we “can’t change” or that’s “just the way we are” but in reality it just takes a vision of something greater than where we are now. And it can happen with a decision to move towards our potential. _______ There’s so much more to share, and you will be seeing my transformation daily as I continue to break through old stories that are not useful. _______ I’ll be sharing live videos in my FB group and the most intimate stories to my email list, so head above for deeper stuff. 👆 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2LBc0YO

I am living the life of my dreams. ——- I am RICH. —— Setting my intentions each day. ——— To live more, love well, to spread the light, to serve and allow others to shine. ______ So much gratitude for this journey.

7 years ago good things certainly were not happening. _____ I was in a job I hated. Struggling with my fitness and in my relationship. ______ I didn’t see the point, really, if this was all there was to life. _____ I remember not looking forward to another day. _____ And then I can recall my first shift. _____ I was watching Super Soul Sunday and Oprah had Elkhart Toulle on talking about “the watcher” inside of us. I literally had no clue what he was talking about....but knew there was something more to it. _______ So I got the book “The Power of Now” and then I read the book “Th Power of Positive Thinking”. ______ Now, so many years later my life and attitude has dramatically shifted. I now realize that what we focus on matters. ______ Our circumstances may not be desirable, but the harder we focus on the bad, the worse it seems. _____ Luckily when things do get challenging I have a tribe who reminds me where to focus. ——— And my daily declaration is “good things are going to happen!” ______ If you like this kind of stuff, join the Fit Faith Freedom Facebook group for more💕 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2LkYyIa

“Go to college,” they said. ___________ “Pick the right major,” they said. ___________ “Student loans are good debt,” they said. __________ “Pick a stable career,” they said. ___________ “Working 9-5 is the only option,” they said. ____________ “Work hard now & save money so you can retire someday & travel,” they said. _____________ I followed what “THEY SAID” for 30 years. ____________ And I was miserable, burnt out, overworked, overweight, grumpy, sluggish, unmotivated and tired of doing what “they said” while knowing in my heart there was something more. ___________ Right before I turned 30 I couldn’t do what “they said” anymore. ___________ I had to follow that still small voice calling me to have faith in the unknown. ____________ As a result of this SHIFT, a Dream is coming true. _____________ In 6 days I will be in Bali, Indonesia with people who also decided to QUESTION what “they said”. __________ Now I follow the Holy Spirit’s guiding and choose what “I say!” 💟 I love waking up on Mondays & setting intentions for who I’m going to help this week 💟 I choose with whom I partner and do business 💟 I can travel when I want 💟 I have the freedom to choose my lifestyle 💟 I experience abundance all around 💟 My vibe attracts my tribe 💟 Money is energy & my vibration is high 💟 People need what I provide 💟 I’m constantly meeting new amazing people _______ Cheers to Mondays, to the payday, and the day that I get to set my intentions for who I’m connecting with this week. ________ Now I don’t face Monday with dread, but rather with excitement that anything is possible! ________ What I love is helping people have a totally new connection with Monday! ___________ 💕🦄✨B•E•L•I•E•V•E✨🦄💕 . . . . 📸: @forever_foreigners via Instagram https://ift.tt/2mmM2df

I heard someone say recently: “I don’t do shorts” _____ And my heart was instantly sad for her. ______ I remember feeling that way. I would wear capris and long pants even in the SUMMER. _____ It was because I was insecure about my legs. _____ I’ve always had thick thighs. _____ And I was always made fun of for those tree trunks in school. ______ But there came a time with some mindset work and lots of self love that I decided I was no longer going to sweat my summers away wearing pants. ______ Now, my legs have more veins, more stretch marks and more cellulite. (And probably a few stray hairs because I’m horrible at shaving 😂) _____ ❗️And I don’t FREAKING CARE. ❗️ _____ If we look close up on anyone their skin is not perfect. _____ No one is perfect. _____ If we keep comparing ourselves to airbrushed & filtered photos we keep ourselves enslaved to insecurity. ______ Right now I’m going to find the shortest, tightest shorts for Bali because I don’t want to sweat my @ss off. _____ And I’m proud that my thighs touch, my calves don’t fit into boots and my adductors could crush a baby. ____ That’s what Self Love is all about. _____ Let’s get some!! _____ Comment with some 💕💕💕 if you’re down for more self love this summer!! #summerofshorts #selflove via Instagram https://ift.tt/2KR7p4S

Most people don’t get me. ____ But the people who do really do get me! ____ What I mean is I don’t put many social events on my calendar just to “go out and drink” (like I used to in college). ____ I like spending my nights at home relaxing with the dogs. But I’ll also give my time to people who match my energy. _____ You know what I mean....there are those those who uplift us and make us laugh and encourage us to grow (and there are those who don’t). ____ Man, I’ve spent a lot of my life complaining and being negative and being a draining person. _____ In the past 4 years since I’ve been focused on growth, healing the past, and being aware of my vibration, God has connected me to a brilliant group of faith filled leaders who have changed the course of my life. ____ I have so much gratitude for those who’ve seen potential in me and helped me grow. And to God for keeping His hand on me. ____ And now I get to spend my weekends doing the same for others. ______ When before I would not be adding value to the world, now I get to mentor other positive individuals who have this deep feeling in their heart that they are not living in their full potential. _____ My Friday nights have changed drastically in the past 10 years, because now my vision has changed. ______ This makes me feel more alive than drinking in a bar ever did. _____ All I do now is connect with people who are open and ask: “So, are you just loving life right now?” _____ Who knew this would be the actual thing that would increase my freedom & light me up! . . #finally #lovinglife . . 📸 @amomentsgracephotography via Instagram https://ift.tt/2KZJUTy

It was my honor to interview my best friend @meg_langston on the Fit Faith Freedom Podcast that went up today! _____ Have a listen - the link is in my profile. 12: Courage to Release Control with Meg Langston ____ Meg joins us today as a first time guest, but long time friend.

The struggle of comparison, wanting to have control and how to know when you are going in the right direction. _____ Meg gave us some amazing inspiration about faith and perseverance. Probably the best part of this episode is when we start laughing uncontrollably when talking about a puppy!! 😂🐶 ——- This episode is brought to you by the Beautiful Power Retreat.

I like being by myself. People think it’s weird because I’m so outgoing, but I’m an ambivert. (I like being alone and I like being around people sometimes) ____ I didn’t grow up having a lot of friends, because I wanted deep relationships with people could really trust, so I didn’t let many people in. ____ Now today, I feel blessed to be able to call friends all across the WORLD to bounce ideas around, mastermind with and partner with. ____ This took time to cultivate. And it’s so important because who we spend most of our time with determines how our mindset is shaped. ____ It took me many years to find a tribe that supports my dreams and passions, and being on calls with them each week lights me up and helps me drive forward towards my goals. ____ I spend a lot of time by myself (because I actually love it) but I stay connected to tribe because I need it. _____ If you don’t have tribe, I’d like to invite you into mine - to support your transformation. ____ Join the Fit Faith Freedom Facebook group (link in bio) and see what we’re doing to support each other on this Self Love journey. _____ And join us LIVE in Raleigh, NC on July 14th for the Beautiful Power Retreat! 💕 Grab your spot above ⤴️ via Instagram https://ift.tt/2lQgNqw
