I GAVE UP MY BACKUP PLAN

I did it! I kissed goodbye to one chapter of my life! I let go. I gave up my “backup” plan. I released the one thing I could “fall back on”.

One of my biggest passions in life is fitness and being active. Which is why, professionally I landed into the world of personal training, pilates, group fitness, spinning, & more. My passion for fitness & desire to help, coach, train, motivate others collided into this beautiful business that was created at the perfect time.

My fitness career gave me hope, joy, flexibility, a purpose, drive, and more. It carried me through one of the toughest times in my life. I was good, like really good at it & I loved it. Sometimes I think I got more out of my clients then they got from me.

Then I crossed paths with a beautiful soul that inspired me to do more, help more, learn more, believe in more.  4 years ago I was introduced to essential oils. I got tools that started to support my kids bodies in ways that I didn’t know were possible. I was all of a sudden surrounded by a huge community of people that were supportive, loving, inspiring, caring, bold, accepting, driven, gentle, motivating.... and then I saw this life, this adventure that was waiting for me, this new way of living, and I went after it!

I worked a little harder, worked a little later, made several sacrifices, empowered more people then I ever thought possible to lead a healthy lifestyle. I started to shift, I started to see this ripple affect, I started to believe that I was ready for more, I started to welcome a new group of people into my life who were ready for more physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, & maybe even financially.

I crushed a few major goals in my biz & my life. We took our family from living pay cheque to pay cheque working as many hours as possible to making $ while we sleep (literally).
I went from being quiet, keeping my thoughts to myself, staying in my comfort zone, sticking with the people I knew, being there for everyone at anytime....to now being ME, letting go of some of the mom guilt, meeting new people everyday & loving it, speaking to thousands of people, saying yes to the things that I want to do and saying no to those that don’t serve me....

And then I LIVED! For the first time in my life I felt free to take a day for myself. I felt free to keep my kids home & snuggle them more, I felt ready to travel & enjoy it without worrying about $, I felt free to step away from the “norm”. I had this time freedom. I had this $ freedom. I had this daily hustle, daily grind freedom. And I’ve been doing what I want, when I want, while my biz continues to thrive!

And then it hit me, I was ready to change again! I wanted to make a difference in the people I cared most about. I want to guide more people to the life I’ve been given.  But the only way to do it, the only way to keep expanding in my life & biz is to get uncomfortable, to take a few more chances, to be vulnerable, to be bold. So I did, we did! We took a few risks, said yes to a few opportunities that I normally would have pushed off. Said no to a couple things that no longer served us and I felt that we were slowly on the path.

But I still felt “stuck”, like something was still holding me back. It wasn't until I was in a Hot Yoga class that it hit me... I was actually ready to move forward..in the past I told myself that I was ready because others kept asking me what my next goal was, what was next & when. So I would give them the answer they wanted to hear. It hit me in that yoga class that I had fallen back into the trap of doing what was “expected” so not everything was aligning anymore.

It hit me that I was ready, that I wanted to go after a new goal, that I had to let go of expectations AND i had to let go of that last piece that was holding me back...my fitness recertification. I was still half stuck in the past, I wasn’t fully in.

The day to recertify came and went without regret.  There was no panic, no second guessing.  There was just believing in myself, believing in what I was creating, letting go of the past, having faith in God, and taking that leap trusting that it would all work out one way or another.

At the exact same time, we as a family made a huge leap into buying a new home - our dream home and selling the place we called home for 9 years.  We were ready for more.  We were made for more.  We were saying yes to possibility.  I was saying let's do this, lets let go, dig deeper, change it up, and be open to the unknown.

The unknown is becoming clearer.  It's becoming glaringly clear that I need to get back to the expansion.  I am being lead to say YES to 13 NEW Biz Partners.  I've spent the past year really focussing on my family, building into them, being present every step of the way, and just enjoying my youngest's last year before he starts school.  My time is Fall... it's my time to step back in fully to mentor and guide 13 new people towards reaching their dreams, crushing their fears, taking action, and leaping!

If YOU would like to explore the idea of saying yes to changing your present, expanding into your future, building into your dreams, inspiring others, connecting with an incredible community, LET'S CHAT - send me a quick message and we can explore the possibilities! 

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."  Let this day be the day you leap into the life you're meant to live!
