Super Saturday - October 2015

Super Saturday is a quarterly event where we, as coaches celebrate success and learn about what is coming up next and how to prepare for it. The last 2 Super Saturdays, I spent in Pittsburgh - but this time the girls and I road tripped to Chambersburg, PA to support my coach, Deidra, hosting her very first Super Saturday event!

I love Super Saturdays, learn about new products, training tips, motivation, inspiring stories and best 
yet meeting and socializing with the only people who know exactly how you feel - they understand the struggles and triumphs. This Super Saturday was very special, because not only was it the first ever in Chambersburg, but I was speaking - not just once, but twice! Public speaking, not really my thing and I thought about saying no a million times... I could come up with a million excuses, but how could I use my life to inspire others if I let fear get in the way? I practiced, and practiced - but I couldn't do it - I never made it through once without breaking down... one day, I put the note cards away and gave it to God...

This was the first Super Saturday event for my girls as well, and although it wasn't an ideal situation, they had a blast - they are my why, they are part of my journey and they are a reason to keep pushing forward... I hope one day they will be inspired by what I overcame to be present in their lives and the best mom I could be to them...

while I spoke - gotta love Mom Life!

I shared my transformation story, for the first time - uncensored... I spoke about my struggles with

postpartum depression, hypothyroidism, confidence and finally how I lost 75 pounds.... I received a lot of feedback, and appreciation for sharing my story - and I am working on a little project to finally share my struggles publicly, which I will share with everyone some day soon! It is uncomfortable to talk about, but I know this is my purpose.. to spread awareness and hope - to inspire change....

I also had to the opportunity to do a training piece on Shakeology.. I am passionate about nutritional therapy and the power of food... I shared my love of Shakeology, why it is important for your health and business - more trainings to come!







We followed up with a live Cize workout, with the fabulous Alisha Smith as our instructor! The girls and I danced our hearts out!

 

Blessed to have this opportunity that understands that we regular people - just a couple of moms, who decided to go for it



Clean Snacks



Shakeology Bar - of course!



My coach, Trisha and I - great to see her!

 

We joined the team for a little hibachi (so fun, it was the girls first time and they loved it - not the food but the experience!). After lunch, we let our Beachbody babies have some fun swimming and bonding while we did some girl talk and masterminding....

The bond that we have as coaches and friends is undeniable - we are family... we push each other, support each other, learn from each other, love each other... I feel blessed to have taken this leap of faith, which seemed crazy and impossible at the time.. if you are someone who is ready to make a change in your life and build a business based on helping others, then please fill out my application for an exclusive spot in my next new coach training group for the best start to your business!

Aubrey's First Day of Kindergarten

Where did the time go? I mean seriously? How could she be 5 and going to kindergarten?

She has been waiting for this day for over a year... the bus stop is basically our driveway, and last school year - everyday, she would watch her neighborhood friends get on the bus and couldn't wait until it was her turn.

Well like most summers, it was over in the blink of an eye!

We had a countdown going, every day she would tell complete strangers "4 more days until I ride a bus to kindergarten!"

We did all the orientations, met the teacher, toured the school, tackled the big school supply list, and
debated on back packs in the Target back to school aisle for about 15 minutes...

The night before, we read a poem from her teacher and put "Jitter Glitter" under her pillow to help her sleep well - which didn't work very well.... lets see - up once for water, up once for a bloody nose, a bathroom trip, a lost stuffed animal and a bad dream later it was kindergarten morning!


I have been taking her photo in this chair since the day she came home - the tradition lives on!

I was excited to get back on a schedule! She did great - breakfast, teeth brushed, hair done (had to trial a few hair styles), dressed and ready to go in 15 minutes flat! She stood in the living room with her book bag on for literally 30 minutes!

We walked down to the bus stop - again literally outside our garage (lucky me!) and were greeted by her neighborhood friends! When the bus came, her face was gleaming! A quick kiss and she was on the super packed bus!








We walked down to the school, and yes we beat the bus to watch the kiddos walk in on their first
day! When she got off the bus she was in awe staring at the school and a little 'deer in headlights'. Her neighborhood girlfriends took her hand and away they went. She blew me a quick kiss and away she went!

And Kate and I made the 5 minute walk back home. Before the school year, we got to decide if she was going to be in morning or afternoon kindergarten. And it was a real debate for me - morning meant more of a routine, and one on one time with Kate while Aubrey was in school and one on one time with Aubrey while Kate napped after school. Afternoon meant 2 hours, kids free - to work, clean, sleep, and get in some me time... The business woman in me and the mom in me where at odds! But the mom side always wins! Kate has never had me one on one and this was her time!

At the end of the school day, Kate and I walked down to pick up Aubrey! I am so geeked that we can walk to her school, that's to some gracious neighbors that allow us to walk through their yard! Aubrey came out, telling me all about her awesome day! And when I asked about where she ended up on the behavior chart, her answer was, "well mom, My teacher said if I stopped talking she would move me up to blue, so I stopped talking for a little. I guess I talk to much, but whatever"

Yep, that's my girl xo

What a blessing that I am able to watch her get on the bus, walk to pick her up and have one on one time with both girls! Coaching has allowed me to be with my girls as much as possible.. My dream has always been to be a stay at home mom, but also provide financially for my family and this dream is quickly becoming a reality!

If your dream is work from home and be there for all these big milestones, than coaching could be a great fit for you - let's chat about it!
