About Me

Hiiiii :) I want to thank you for stopping by and share a little about myself! It is hard to wrap myself into a nut shell...well, because I have lived and been through a LOT in my 30 years of life...but here goes! ;) I am a single mom to an amazing little boy, Declan. He is my MIRACLE baby, as I never knew if I would be able to have kids. He was the catalyst and inspiration for me, to create a life I dreamed of! I have been raising him on my own since he was 5 months old...sometimes, the right choices, are NOT easy choices...but he is the heart and is my WHY for all that I do. Being his mommy has empowered me to become the woman and role model I wanted to be! You might wonder...why I wasn't sure if I would be able to have kids. When I was 16 I was in a severe boating accident that severed the top half of my left pelvis and I was told I may never walk again. I have chronic pain, muscle and nerve damage, limited mobility and strength...BUT I LIVED! Again, another miracle. ;) And after years of surgeries, medications and being unsure I could ever get to where I wanted to be physically... I have chosen to work towards being the HEALTHIEST and STRONGEST I can be, always focusing on what I CAN do, rather than what I CAN'T. (And, I lost my dad at a young age, so it fuels my fire to be around as LONG as I can for my son!) I truly believe, the body can achieve incredible things when the mind believes, because I know can do 90% of the things doctors told me I would never do! Miracle, yet again ;) Four years ago when I decided I was going to raise Declan on my own...I was unsure of the path I should take. I was struggling to get by, I was anxiety ridden and depressed, my self esteem was in the dumps... I was looking at working so much that I would have never seen my baby, and I was NOT ok with that idea. I was feeling like a failure and unhappy with where I was in life...so, I decided, one day at a time, I was going to build a life I dreamed of for us! Stop wishing for it and work for it! But how? In a pursuit of trying to find a way I could lose my baby weight from home and have some time to focus on and take care of myself (because, it is NOT selfish to take care of you, it is necessary self love!)--- I stumbled upon Tea, Beachbody. And it is hard to put into words, what this opportunity has done for my life. I have been a COACH for almost 4 years now! An empowerment coach as I like to call it--- an advocate for living a healthy life, for the power of mindset, transformation and CHANGE! I also mentor women who desire to turn their own transformation into at home businesses! I love nothing more than paving the way and paying this opportunity forward and helping others create FREEDOM they desire their own lives, mentoring them to turn their transformations and stories, into successful businesses founded upon integrity and heart!! You can leave your mark on the world & yes, I truly believe you CAN design your destiny! The team I founded is a 2x Elite, top 100 team, ranked in the top .01% of the company, we are just normal people-- who want to make an impact on others & who want to CREATE OUR FUTURES and lives by design doing what we love! I am my own boss, I get to be home with my boy and make my own hours! In my eyes, that is MIRACLE as single mom ;) I do believe, if you crave change more than you wish to stay the same, and you are willing to work hard and have a whole lotta heart, there is NO boundaries to where you can go! Listen...there is NO passion to be found in living a life less than you are capable of! I know this, because I lived that way for SO many years! Now, I get to way up with excitement, hope, passion...I truly know that I am touching lives and using my story, to inspire others to overcome their own obstacles! I truly believe, everyone is on this earth to leave their mark on the world! You just have to decide what it will be! And if you didn't catch on yet, YES I believe everyday MIRACLES do exist. ;) Interested in joining my next online health and fitness bootcamp?
