I remember when I was the one on the OTHER side of the bar....⁣ I’d literally look up from all the drinks & juices & smoothies lined up that I had to make for our customers...⁣ & I’d PICTURE myself on the other side.⁣ I’d IMAGINE myself coming in on a beautiful quiet morning to “clock in” on my OWN time...⁣ & at my OWN pace...⁣ I’d picture sitting down with an americano or almond milk latte- made with love & care by the baristas behind the bar....⁣ Cause see,⁣ I ABSOLUTELY loved making drinks for people❤️ I just didn’t like that when it came to making my OWN drinks, I’d have to do it in a rush, drink it in a rush, and get no time to sit, sip, and ENJOY☕️⁣ ⁣ I worked BEHIND the bar like that for years...but every single day- I’d imagine the day that I wouldn’t have to.⁣ I’d VISUALIZE the day when I wouldn’t be broke & taking every shift I possibly could just to cover the cost of groceries & bills...⁣ I’d PICTURE the day in my head, when I’d stroll into “work” looking all cute & made up- cause I didn’t have to leave my house in a hurry...⁣ ⁣ And doing that all made it SO freaking real.⁣ Doing that- made it hurt just a little less,😆⁣ When I’d go home with sore feet & absolutely no more energy from serving so many people all day....⁣ ⁣ Ya see, yesterday I came back to the coffee bar I used to work at. ⁣ I came in with my work in hand, laptop in my bag, lookin’ all cute☺️ & sat down at a quiet table by the window-⁣ I even got to sit down with a friend who’s ALSO a coach💗⁣ And as I sat there for a moment,⁣ I realized that I was finally sitting, sipping slow, and getting a chance to ENJOY that perfectly made almond milk latte...⁣ ⁣ #fullcirclemoment⁣ ⁣ This is the life, the DREAM that I’ve been able to turn into a REALITY- & all because of coaching.✨ (at Herban Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Rk5C3BJ8X/?igshid=18u69ws8o4okj

Since Thanksgiving comes a little bit late this year...We’re jumping on the bandwagon & getting in the Christmas spirit EARLY❤️✨🌲 - Tonight we went out & got our teeny tiny tree-a tradition we started after our first year in phoebe when we realized that we had absolutely no space for a real tree🤣🚃 (the things you don’t think about when going tiny...) But we made it work by making it fun😍 & this year I absolutely looked forward to this moment!!! Got our Christmas candles burning AND a brand new seating area🙌🏽(hand built by my self taught smokin’ carpenter hubby😏) - Who else is already gettin’ in the Christmas spirit?!?✨ (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5PMvnPh5Ce/?igshid=1c6mmdba0xmoh

WE MADE IT👏🏽🙏🏼🤩🎉🙌🏽 I almost can’t believe I’m saying it... But we made it. This MASSIVE goal we’ve all (plus a few others not pictured here- @rileymcq 😘#loveyoulongtime ) been pushing for... IS HAPPENING FOR REAL.✨ There are already SO MANY long weeks of grinding behind us & many more to come... But tonight I’m letting it sink in. That WE, #teamwholehearted OFFICIALLY MADE IT TO OUR GOAL😭 - If you’ve been praying for us, thinking of us, or sending any kind of positivity our way, THANK YOU❤️ I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know. - I shared more in my stories tonight more about what this means, so check it out if you’re a lil bit confused😉 But I just want to get something straight with y’all... 👉🏽THIS platform is absolutely incredible. The power it has to connect people is unlike ANYTHING else we’ve ever known in this world... It BROUGHT me to these beautiful humans in this picture. It’s GAVE me a PLACE to share my journey of health & wellness & life with y’all- every single day. It’s helped me BUILD a business that’s now earning me a FULLTIME income. So first off, That is all SO freaking cool, & im #gratefulaf But secondly, This is still a highlight reel- I try to sprinkle in AS MUCH realness as possible, But I want YOU to know... That if you’re looking at me & thinking “wow how’d she become so successful overnight” or “how is she living this life?” or ANYTHING along those lines, Please know, what’s NOT pictured here: are the moments of doubt. The nights where I literally worked myself sick-bc I was OBSESSED with the goal-(in an unhealthy way) The night where I became physically ILL & had to learn how to slow down & take a break, to let go & let GOD do his thing, (I’m pretty stubborn if ya can’t tell..🙊) Or the moments where I cried over thinking what this COULD DO for our life & our team-or when I thought it would happen sooner & was HEARTBROKEN when I thought we lost our chance...what YOU don’t see is all the hustle that it took to get here. It’s taken YEARS. That’s the honest truth-but I also wouldn’t trade a SECOND of it for where it’s brought us today....Cause THIS is what can happen, if you put your head down & GET TO WORK👊🏽 (at Frankfort, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5KCoV3Btcg/?igshid=q40oa8e8xzi

Do you have a story about how you found your pup(s)?👇🏽 ⁣ ⁣ I remember when I first met this lil bundle of joy...☺️⁣ So freakin’ cute, she was wiggling her WHOLE entire body and about the size of a loaf of bread😂😂⁣ -⁣ Chad & I both had had a very terrible,awful,no good horrible day...⁣ I got in a car accident & practically gave myself a heart attack rushing to find the person who hit me afterwards, but they drove off😞⁣ Chad was frustrated from a whole big issue with their (at the time) manager-⁣ ...so after I got home & was able to pull myself together & stop crying about it all for a second,⁣ Chad said,⁣ “Babe, lets go look at a couple of puppies...we’ve been wanting one, I know we’re not ready- now ISN’T the time to get one, but seeing their cute little faces will help us both feel better, and besides, they’re only fully bred pitties available (which we didn’t want at the time)”⁣ ⁣ So I said yes...hesitantly.⁣ -⁣ What’s really funny,😆⁣ Is that ALL the local shelters just happened to be closed that day...🤔⁣ AND-all the other puppies we’d seen on Craigslist had already sold...⁣ So she was literally the only one we could visit😂⁣ ⁣ So that’s when we first met Lola. Her potato butt wiggles absolutely stole our hearts.❤️⁣ ⁣ But we went home empty handed...😞⁣ -⁣ I couldn’t even SLEEP that night without thinking about her or dreaming about her.⁣ She was the RUNT of the litter, that nobody wanted, & she was already 3 months old.⁣ So the next morning I woke up & INSTANTLY rolled over to tell chad,⁣ “We have to go back. I can’t stop thinking about her. She needs us. Let’s get her”⁣ ⁣ & that’s the day that Lola became apart of the family forever, on Easter Sunday.🐶⁣ ⁣ I definitely think something more than fate brought us to our little bean, #thankyougod but lately, I’m realizing the reason, was because we needed her to save us, just as much as she needed us to save her. ⁣ -⁣ Tell me your puppy love story!!👇🏽 (at Brentwood, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EtP3ShzKI/?igshid=19focj7kx9qt3

Life is 10% what happens to you-⁣ & 90% how you REACT to that.⁣ ⁣ Today I woke up when I wanted to.⁣ Worked out at a leisurely pace...AFTER I finished my morning routine & some work (by choice;))⁣ Showered at 2 in the afternoon bc I didn’t mind sitting in the sweat for awhile while playing with Lola😜😂⁣ Cooked ALL my own homemade meals-when I felt hungry.⁣ And didn’t have to lock Lola up to leave ONCE...⁣ I didn’t complain about “when I’m getting out of here”,⁣ have to handle all the rush-hour traffic,⁣ and I even chose to get up- mid emails- to practice a little yoga flow✨⁣ ⁣ Ya see, life was happening TO ME- all the way upto becoming a coach.⁣ But when I decided to be MY OWN BOSS, I learned that life COULD be happening for me.⁣ I could CHOOSE to make my own schedule. My own routine. My own SUCCESS. My own LIFE🙏🏼⁣ ⁣ And now 2.5 almost 3 years later, I’m SO grateful I stopped giving into living from that victimized mindset...⁣ “Why me”⁣ “I never get a break”⁣ ⁣ Because coaching has taught me how to make my OWN breaks.⁣ I don’t need “luck”.⁣ I CREATE it for myself.⁣ _⁣ See Chad got home from traveling away all weekend to a few shows that his band played 💗⁣ & we’re about to sit down for dinner.⁣ Cuddle up on the bed with Lola & catch eachother up on all the things✨⁣ ⁣ & I wonder if I hadn’t made that choice 2.5 years ago...⁣ If today, I’d be stressed out about not getting enough time with him before his next trip,⁣ Or if I’d be anxious about him coming home so late & ruining my sleep/making me late for work tomorrow (back when I had to go in at 6:30am😱)⁣ Or if I’d simply be run down from a long day inside under fluorescent lighting & sitting in one place🙈⁣ ⁣ I will NEVER stop choosing to REACT to what happens in life POSITIVELY-⁣ Because the life THAT has created for me, makes every Monday, my favorite day💗 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5CIPo4hlj-/?igshid=1715cgfji2qit

I’ve been cooped up inside for waaay too long from this cold- SO this afternoon Loly bean & I got all bundled up & went out for some play time & a long walk. It ended up lasting for HOURS.... Because it felt so👏🏽dang👏🏽good. - And in it all, i was reminded... Don’t get so busy, especially as we’re entering into the holidays, that you forget to look around & REALLY see what’s right in front of you✨ - Cause guys I hear it again & again, And honestly i caught myself falling into it today,🙈 Thinking & telling myself “I’m just so busy, I don’t have time for that” - But I think we’re missing out on A LOT of things because we keep telling ourselves, “I’m busy”. - It’s OK to pause. To take a breather from whatever it is that’s making you so busy... Work or projects or running from obligation to obligation... - And to be present with the world around you. Actually, I’M TELLING YOU... Make doing THAT👆🏽everyday- A priority. Get outside, breathe in the fresh air. Take a walk with your pup. Do some yoga. Pray. & tank advantage of the beautiful world that’s RIGHT in front of you.✨🌎 <cause remember, you CHOSE the things that are making you busy-YOU created your own busy-so if you don’t like it, create something different-and start MAKING time for the things that help you feel alive.🌲🐾🌸🌞 (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B487BNzB2r3/?igshid=15ffohbsodlpy

To bring more joy to people’s lives...and make them FEEL better on the daily-⁣ Little did I know the METHOD in which that would go down.⚡️💪🏽⁣ Music was aaalways my thing. So naturally, that’s how I thought this whole purpose would play out in my life.⁣ What I didn’t know...was that there was another passion deep down,⁣ And I NEVER EVER would’ve discovered it-⁣ If I hadn’t of made the leap to first get HEALTHY for myself... #thankfulforthestruggle 🙏🏼⁣ (𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘪𝘵?!)⁣ ⁣ So when I did discover that passion:⁣ Of paying forward ALL I had learned (& was yet to learn!!) in my own health journey to other women who were just like me; Busy, overwhelmed, trying so many diets & cleanses & different trends but never finding the RIGHT one, the one that WORKED & LASTED. The one that taught about health as a lifeSTYLE, not just a “fad diet”...⁣ ⁣ I became CRAZY about that mission.⁣ & I became unstoppable in LIFE🔥 Because my purpose was finally aligned with a passion- that was not only able to build a side hustle for me (⁣so I could pay off student loan debt & some groceries every week...) But that also eventually allowed me to quit 𝐚𝐥𝐥 my other jobs too, work from home as a “stay at home dog-mom” & be present with my musician husband in between his travels & tours away. ⁣ So to answer my question from above...⁣ 𝐘𝐞𝐬.
