Why I left the BODi (Beachbody) Business… and How I’m Re-Launching

This is a post I never thought I’d be writing…
After much prayer, consideration, tears and nearly 8 years, I’ve recently made the decision to end my partnership with BODi (Beachbody) in my Health Patriot business.
I will forever be grateful for the relationships built and lessons learned these past 8 years. The BODi opportunity changed our family’s life for forever.
To be honest though, it’s not what it was. I’m not who I was. And it’s no longer in alignment with the calling the Lord has placed on my heart and the needs of my family.
I’ve released a video with more details about this decision for those of you who are interested.
To my BODi fam, I love you all. I’m so proud of each of you and I’ll always be here cheering you on!
As for where I’m going next… I have been given an amazing opportunity to be a part of a newer company dedicated to creating hormone safe products and reducing our family’s exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals contributing to infertility, hormonal Imbalance, asthma, neurological issues and more. I am assisting in product formulation as the company grows and linking arms with other top notch business mama’s who are united in mission to address this issue impacting nearly every household.
We are creating hormone-safe products for what you put in, on and around your body.
If you know my backstory, my own infertility diagnosis, my struggle with anxiety attacks, nearly non-existent hormones, adrenal exhaustion and gut health mysteries… as well as my passion to educate and empower- you can feel it too. This is going to be BIG and such an amazing shift for my business, clients and family.

I’m the black sheep- Going against the grain

14225535_817373755066119_2304095666973670364_n

If you couldn’t tell…I absolutely, 100% LOVE what I do as a health coach. Truly, I know I was put on the planet to help other people feel their best. While I may KNOW that now, I haven’t always felt like it was a calling worthy of me pursuing. As you know, we live in a pretty negative society. The messages we constantly here are ones like…

  • You’re never good enough…
  • You’re never pretty, skinny, happy, energetic, productive enough…
  • You have to suffer to get anything good to happen…
  • You have to manipulate in order to get what you want…
  • You’re ridiculous & radical if you go against the grain and do things different than everyone else…
  • You’ll fail.

Does ANYONE out there feel this way? Can I get an amen?!?! 🙂

It’s so sad that this is the environment we live in. THIS is why so many never reach their fullest potential. THIS is why a staggering 80% of Americans don’t feel fulfilled in their jobs and wish they could do something else. Imagine with me for a minute, a world in which EVERYONE did what they were passionate about. Where EVERYONE operated in their strengths…we’d have every area covered because each of us was created with individual passions, traits, strengths, and characteristics. If you don’t like people for instance, you probably shouldn’t work in customer service. If you hate the smell of paint, you probably shouldn’t be a painter. If you pass out at the site of blood, you probably shouldn’t be an EMT. Makes sense, right? But somehow we were told we have to do what everyone else does, the way everyone else does it, in order to be successful. So…we settle. Well…I won’t. I’m breaking through the societal norm and I want to encourage you to do the same. For those who have a similar calling on their hearts, I want to take you with me.

How many of you have started to believe the lies you’ve been told about your potential? It’s super challenging sometimes to break through those voices. These are some of the things I’ve been told that I REFUSE to accept…

You can’t truly have your body back after you have a baby. Everything gets stretched out and you’ll never be the same.

You can’t REALLY make a substantial income from home. That’s something that exists in fantasy land.

It’s not possible to do what you truly love AND get paid good money for it.

You’re a grown up now…you can’t expect to find a job where you get more than 2 weeks of vacation each year. You should be happy with what they give you.

As you get older, you’ll see…you can’t be that healthy for long.

Everybody is going to get a disease at some point in their life these days.

You’re dreaming if you think you can actually be super successful working on your own schedule, helping other people, and make 6-7 figures/year. That’s not reality…what a waste of time.

What would happen if I accepted these lies as truth? I’d still be packing around baby weight (Which I’ve not only lost all of, but 7 pounds more…), I’d be miserable in my current job without any hope of the future, my family wouldn’t have been blessed with the amazing additional income & free superfoods these past 6 months, my soul wouldn’t be ON FIRE to help others, AND most importantly…the large group of people I’ve been able to encourage and help in their journey to health & wellness…they’d still be sick, overweight, hopeless, yoyo dieting, with their health problems and NO HOPE for the future. Now, that just isn’t ok with me…so what I will say to all of the haters out there…

????WATCH ME??✌?

I will and I am.
Joining the Beachbody team has truly changed my life in the past 6 months. I am stronger inside and out than I have EVER been. Talk about a fast transformation! I have purpose and passion in my heart. I find so much fulfillment in the messages I get from my team DAILY telling me about another pound lost, push up goal accomplished, cookie not eaten, emotional eating pattern destroyed, bad habit broken, life changed. My heart is full. I’m on a mission. A mission to change my world and I’m doing it. ?

My team is growing, and if I’m going to change the world, I’m going to need some help! I’m going to need some passionate individuals who want these same accomplishments for themselves & their family! Not just anyone will do…this isn’t for the weak at heart. There are specific requirements and characteristics I look for in a teammate. If you think you have what it takes and you deeply want the benefits that come with being able to work from home and provide for your family, I want you to contact me right now- thehealthpatriot@gmail.com. If you’re looking for a get rich quick scheme, if you’re not self-motivated, if you won’t do the programs & be an example yourself, this is NOT for you, look elsewhere.

If you’re ready to do something about this sick, dark, depressed population, let’s do this thang! Maybe I’ll even get us matching capes…who knows?! 🙂

LETS. PROVE. THEM. WRONG.

All my challengers out there who are just along for the ride and are loving these programs and how they make you feel. AWESOME! Keep doing what you’re doing and impacting your world in your area. You’re killing it!

Let’s Do This,

Is Your Weight Loss Plan Killing You?

I can’t hold it in anymore….I am SO frustrated and irritated at misinformation and people being preyed on by corrupted companies, doctors, pharmaceutical industries who develop a falsity to happiness by telling people they can lose weight fast in any other way than by eating healthy, exercising, stress management, and taking care of yourself.

There are SO many women especially who spend their ENTIRE LIVES trying every diet on the planet, diet pills, drops, etc in attempts to lose weight, and it NEVER WORKS, and we are left feeling defeated, depressed, broken, unhealthy, unloved, invaluable…and the cycle continues.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!

If YOU have been looking for that magic diet, magic pill, magic anything, you need to stop looking outward and look within. I am giving you an opportunity. An opportunity to not only lose those extra pounds, but feel stronger than you ever have. An opportunity to regain your confidence, to lose the insecurities, lose the self-hatred, self-doubting, self-bashing fest, and come to a place where you actually FEEL how incredibly beautiful, powerful, and capable your body was created to be!

These challenge groups I’ve been running are a place where individuals have pushed themselves out of their comfort zone, tried new exercises, a new way of thinking, a new way of eating, have learned to love and invest in themselves, and have seen the incredible results that come when you commit to this program.

For those of you who are still wondering what this whole “challenge group” thing is about, we are just a group of ordinary people who are sick of feeling sick and incapable. We all share the goal of transforming into our best, strong, healthy, confident, fit selves, and we are committed to keeping each other accountable through the process. We have a private FB group where we post pictures, recipes, videos, questions, concerns, victories, and encouragement to keep each other going strong. This works. Period. If you’re looking for a guarantee, you’ve got it right here. Beachbody goes as far as having a bottom of the bag guarantee on their Shakeology, meaning, they believe in their product SO much that even if you consume the whole bag, if you’re not happy with the results you got, they’ll refund your money… 100%. That is UNHEARD OF in this industry!

I’m not going to beg you. I don’t NEED anything from you. I WANT, SO DEEPLY for illness, obesity, and preventable diseases to be eradicated. This is one incredibly effective way to get strong, lean, healthy, energized, confident, and happy in record time. But you have to want it, and you have to be willing to put the work in.

If this is you, I want you right now to send me an email or text. I’ll even give you my number to get in touch with me and ask me any questions you may have. I want that deeply for you to succeed.

If you know someone who needs to hear this message, feel free to share it. We need to band together and start looking into WHY we are one of the sickest industrialized nations in the world…it’s time to stop being the victim and start taking control of our futures for the generations to come.

The Mom Squad- Preparing for the battle

To be honest, yesterday, I was in the midst of writing one of my regular posts about 2 of Beachbody’s July promotions for challenge packs, and I was planning on finishing that blog post today and sending it out like an ordinary day.

But, I just can’t. Today isn’t an ordinary day.

Today, we morn with the families who lost their loved ones in the shootings in Dallas and across America as several other officers were shot at today. Today, we realize that the wounds of this country go deep and from those wounds, many are irrationally acting out in hatred with senseless acts of violence. We have flip flopped…what was historically considered “wrong” is now looked at as acceptable, and what was historically considered “right” is now prosecuted against and looked at as radicalism. If you are a melatonin deprived Christian conservative, who stands for morals and faith, you are all of a sudden looked at as a radicalist by so many! I can’t tell you how many social media posts have grouped all the white people and cops into racist people. What nonsense! I love all the colors! Heck, I’m pretty sure I AM all the colors in a melting pot. Let’s stop bringing division and start strengthening ourselves, our families, our circles, our communities, and our country. Today, as my mind was flooded with mixed emotions of anger, sadness, frustration, and fear for my family full of peace officers, I realized something.

Every day is a battlefield.

LIFE is a battlefield, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Let me tell you something, if you haven’t already realized it, in the months to come, things are most likely going to get worse, not better. With our pending election and the ever so popular 2 candidates we have, no matter which one is elected, we most likely will be immersed into chaos.

Either way, I want to be physically, mentally, and spiritually as ready as I can be. Training season has commenced in a very real way. Some of you may think I’m crazy, and that is fine, but I know for some of you women out there, I am speaking your language. You want to feel strong, capable, full of faith instead of fear, resourceful, knowledgeable, and you want to know how to protect yourself and your family from the evil that lurks around every corner. This is why I have decided to launch a women’s group, ” The Mom Squad”.

In this group, I will utilize the Beachbody programs to help encourage women to get physically stronger and more agile than they’ve ever been, we will talk nutrition & meal planning to optimize our nutrition for ourselves & our families, we will increase our superfood consumption, we will pray for each other and encourage each other in our faith, we will share resources related to our current daily life struggles, we’ll learn more about the immune system, digestive system, hormonal balance, we’ll learn to BUILD EACH OTHER UP AND NOT TEAR OURSELVES DOWN, we’ll learn the importance of inner confidence, and we might even talk about tactical readiness for women!

This is going to be a support group, and it’s going to be awesome. We’re going to get stronger in every way and motivate each other through our training. The accountability is going to be awesome!

If this resonates with you, I want you in the Mom Squad. You do not have to be a mom, but this will be a women only group.

 

PHYSICAL STRENGTH & VITALITY

The importance of this area goes without saying. To be a part of “The Mom Squad”, you need to choose one of two programs to follow. I’ve done both and both are amazing, and ironically both on sale for the month of July!
