I have traveled through madness to find me. What woman can’t relate to this statement?
This speaks to who the very fiber of my being. Before I really honed in on my health and wellness, way before I joined an amazing team of individuals who empower, uplift and inspire. Before I knew I needed that in my life and would be able to return the favor and pay it forward. I lived a life full of skepticism, full of reservations. I wasn’t totally open. I was spread so thin and just in a search of something MORE....and didn’t even know it.
When I went to my first coaching event, I sat there unaware of what I was going into I was just there for the workout really LOL cause then I thought in shape had everything to do with just working out and getting a good sweat in. But as I sat there and I listened to testimony after testimony, hardships and heartbreaks to break throughs... Stories of physical abuse, postpartum depression, self-doubt and negative thoughts. I thought to myself Cat don’t cry…don’t cry Cat…you came here to workout. But sometimes you find yourself somewhere at the right time unbeknownst to you. Sometimes you find yourself at wits end ready to throw all the towels in and then something mysteriously snatches you out and wakes you up. That’s grace.
When you find yourself in a bad spot find someone in a worst spot and encourage them. Becoming a coach and going to that first event was the light at the end of the tunnel that I needed. I couldn’t show up for anything. Not me. Not my husband. Not my family.
So I sat there and listened to those stories and I broke down. I broke down because I wasn’t living the life I wanted. I knew I wasn’t but it was just easier to stay comfortable even if it was causing me pain.
From that day forward 4/24/15 in NJ at Beachbody Super Saturday, which a quarterly event where coaches and fitness enthusiasts come together and share space, share success stories and ideas and of course get a group workout in. I made another decision that day to get my life back! To re-write the story that I would be proud of and believe in ME again. It all started with ME! I’ve gained life long friendships and built admiration and appreciation of women & men who have just made the decision to press play not only to start on their workouts but also press play in real life. Choosing to go hard for better health, for financial freedom, for self love ect.
They push me, they root me on, and when I’m like I don’t know if I’m cut out for this I’m reminded just why I started.
POWER UP REMINDER: Ride with people who get it! They get what it takes to live your life by your own design. Those are the people you vibrate higher with!!!
Becoming a coach was one of the easiest decisions to make but what makes it seem so difficult is the new effort, the new self-love and the breakthroughs that will happen throughout the journey that you may think you’re not strong enough for or not ready for. This was MY GAME CHANGER! This is the real transformation post. You don't know this Cat! Trust me!!! I’m so grateful for my team and extended family for constantly making me stand on my tippy toes. Sometimes I think back and remember how dark some of these places and situations were that I was in emotionally, mentally, spiritually. But all I saw was physically.
You may find yourself just needing a change or a total makeover or just wondering what it even means to be a coach and how it can change your life from bad to better or from good to great. Why not?! Why NOT YOU?!
