The Heart Behind it
I looked back to before Callen was born and the confidence I had. It simply exuded from me. I was a light to those around me. I was traveling and seeing and doing amazing! I felt like I was crushing every aspect of life even when it wasn't perfect. My marriage was great. I was crushing mom life, Kimber was a rockstar at every single thing she did. I was working out 5-6 days a week, my nutrition was on point.
Fast-forward just over a year...
I looked in the mirror and I didn't recognize who I had become. My joints hurt, my whole body just ached. I didn't like what or who I saw. She wasn't happy, she was content. She looked broken and unsure. I hated the skin that I was in. My marriage was on the rocks, I felt like a terrible mom. I couldn't be there for them the way I needed to be and I knew I needed to change something. I went to bed that night and set my alarm for 4:30 am. Yep, you read that right. I was tired of feeling like garbage and it was time to make a change. I got up the next morning and hit the gym. I dialed in and it took me about 6 months to finally feel like I was in my own skin again and not someone elses. It took me SIX MONTHS!! But I was back. I had stopped making excuses, I was teaching full-time, John was in school, the kids were at 2 different schools, I was sponsoring several student organizations. I had every reason why NOT. I was busy, I was tired, I wasn't even overweight. You name it and I had it. But I shut that sh** down and I went for it because I knew what I was capable of.
Now I want to be 100% transparent, in both of those seasons of life there was a lot of sh** like a LOT! In both of those seasons I should have been broken but there are a few variables. My mindset was a huge part of that and still is. I wake up every single morning and I DECIDE to hit the gym. I decide to plan my meals. I decide to be the best me possible. I don't do it for me. I do it for them. They are watching me and they need me to be at my best. If I am broken, I am setting Kimber up to be broken. I am setting her up to lack confidence her entire life. I KNOW the battles I have had to fight to be confident in myself and in my Father within me. The LAST thing I want for her is to fight those battles. That little girl makes me so proud every single day!! Especially on the days that she walks in confidence!
Once I got my own head above water and remembered what it felt like to swim I knew I needed to help other moms find exactly what I found. I needed them to see and feel good in their own skin. I wanted them to regain the confidence and go to THAT place! The place where it doesn't matter what life throws at them, they are ready! They are going! I started coaching because I looked around at women that were broken just like me. They needed someone to believe in them. They needed someone with heart to back them up. I want you to see what I see when I look at you. I don't see the you right now, I see the you that is strong, confident, and powerful! You can do anything! You want to run a marathon, let's go!! You simply want to run to the maibox without feeling winded, let's go!!! I want you to see the you that I see!
What are you capable of? What is holding you back? What is stopping you from the best version of yourself? Let's GROW!!!
