Body Transformation Coach/Mental Fitness Coach

My personal transformation journey started in 2013 after an arrest for a DUI that turned my world upside down. A life changing experience that even though was one of the worst mistakes of my life, turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Growing up was a life full of lessons all learned the hard way, I had a knack for making things harder on myself than needed, my attitude as a kid growing up was all about doing just enough to get by. My mom called it “settling for the enemy average.” This was a common conversation in pretty much everything I did. School work, chores, projects, everything. I never fully understood the meaning behind it until adulthood, which is why it didn’t bother me much when she would say it. Looking back, it was probably one of the most powerful lessons I’ve ever learned, and wish I had learned it sooner, it would have saved me in soooo many different ways on soooo many different levels. Here’s the message behind my words as you begin to embark on your own transformation journey. Soak it all up, everything, absorb it like a sponge, reflect on it, be in the moment with any feelings and thoughts that you experience, truly let it sink in and sit with it, appreciating every second of how it makes you feel. Success only comes from learning through failures, trials, challenges and mistakes, and overcoming your personal “triggers” is only achieved by noticing it, embracing it and going through it. Save yourself some time, fully embrace every part of your experience, the good AND the bad. Don’t settle, don’t just do enough to get by or get through it, but truly ABSORB it, be intentional about each and every day, and most importantly, FORGIVE YOURSELF. It’s not just about racing to the finish line in the journey, but who you become in the process. That’s when the REAL transformation truly begins.
