Have you found that life as an adult isn't everything it's cracked up to be? Did the dreams you have as a kid fall short, because of substantial student loan debt? 60-hour work weeks? Limited time off and flexibility in your career? The paycheck to paycheck grind controls your life? A little over six years ago, I was in the same position. It was at that time that I was introduced to the Beachbody coach opportunity. At first, I blew it off. I thought it was too good to be tru

When I started coaching I simply wanted to get fit. And maybe, just maybe, earn additional income each month to take the stress out of my marriage. Just a little extra. That'd allow us to breathe. That'd allow us to swipe our debit card without fear of an overdraft. But then I fell in love. I fell in love with myself, my body, and my life. Instead of sitting on the couch hating my life each night, I had found PASSION and purpose. I was happy for the first time in years. And,

It's the pain that creates the prize. Sometimes I forget to stop to look at life these days and to look at how far we've come and where we started. As I was looking at our photos from five different countries and thirteen different cities this year, it was as if I was looking at someone else's life. We couldn't even afford airplane tickets home for Christmas three years ago and now this is our reality. How did we get here?! Pain. That's how. 👊The pain of feeling like I wasn'

After hearing incredible stories about life changing weight loss over the past few days I’m more fired up than ever before about the 21 Day Fix. If you’ve watched my transformation and made comments like, “Well, she doesn’t have kids...” or “She didn’t have a lot to lose to begin with…” or “But she’s young so it is easy…” I’m here to tell you that the people I met this past week make YOUR EXCUSES INVALID. It’s YOUR turn to create your own success story. It’s YOUR TURN to tak

👇ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO👇 I decided that I wanted to stop hating my body. I was living paycheck to paycheck. At the same time, I was offered the opportunity to lose weight WHILE helping others do the same, and earn an income while doing so. I was terrified and skeptical but decided all I had to lose was the weight, so I joined a team that was supportive and fun. They taught me how to believe in myself and how to build a business. 👇TODAY👇 I'm my own boss. I make my own schedule

Awhile back, I heard a story on the radio about a "Wal-Mart Santa" that would walk around Wal-Mart handing out $1,000 bills to people during Christmas time. I thought about how cool it'd be to be able to do something like that someday. At the time it was 2012, a few weeks after hearing that story I was opening a post-Christmas credit card bill & nearly having a panic attack over the amount of charges that we'd racked up. My stomach sank, but I just figured it was the "story o

When I was in middle school, I wanted to be a News Anchor. In High School, I wanted to be an a big-time Interior Decorator like I saw on "Trading Spaces." Then I went to college, and I settled for being a teacher. I say "settled," NOT because teaching is a bad profession (it takes AMAZING people to dedicate themselves to the profession - they are underpaid and under-appreciated). I say "settled," because I didn't think I was capable of becoming a News Anchor or Interior Decor

Yesterday was incredible - like take my breath away incredible!! My Beachbody team, The Juvo Empire, worked SO hard throughout 2015 to help as many people as possible and yesterday we found out that out of 402,000 other teams (UM, THAT'S A LOT!) The Juvo Empire is a 2015 7 Star Diamond ELITE TOP 20 TEAM!! Out of over 400,000 teams we are #20! WHAT THE WHAT?! TOP 20?!?!!? HOW IS THIS REAL LIFE?! What does that even mean, right?! It means that my SMALL team helped the MOST

WOW. I'm humbled, honored, and speechless as I sit back to take this all in. When I decided to change my health last year, I never thought that it would create a ripple effect that would help THOUSANDS (goosebumps!) of other people. Thank God for this incredible opportunity. I founded my team, The Juvo Empire, a little over a year ago. Juvo is Latin for servant, helper, or someone who gratifies and pleases others. I wanted to keep this mission at the forefront of my busin

And, no, I'm not talking about when you are sleeping. I'm talking about creating BIG DREAMS and PLANS for your life. When was the last time that you let yourself do that? Some of you just wrote me off as crazy. I'm okay with that. The truth is that a lot of adults don't dream. We are stuck in the monotony of every, boring day. Before all of this coaching stuff, I had dreams. But never in a million years would I have actually acted on them. I was way too scared. I mean, what

UGH... Here goes the dreaded moment of truth. On Sunday, I shared my Beachbody success story with an audience of other coaches and challengers. I shared the ugly truth about my life with them. It was scary. However, after sharing my story, I received so many "thank you" messages from people in similar situations that I feel moved to share it on here as well. If I am capable of this, SO ARE YOU. I took this photo on July 28th, less than three months ago. After five years of

This morning, I hopped out of bed with about as much enthusiasm as a 5-year-old on Christmas morning! I love my job. It's a REALLY great time to be part of my coaching team, The Juvo Empire. Exciting things are happening for the coaches on my team (my team is ranked#44 out of 290,000 teams!!!). Today we celebrate those accomplishments!! Unfortunately, as I tried to turn on my MacBook this morning all that stared back at me was "the blue screen of death." Now, anyone who knows

I realized I was being a bit of a hypocrite the other day. Another coach asked if I talked about money on social media to show others what is possible with this business. I responded that I do, but honestly, I don't talk about it that much. It makes me super nervous. However, I think it is SUPER important that people do know what is possible with this business. It's not about "being rich" or "making it rain" or buying fancy stuff. It's about living and giving. It's really har
