About Me and My Journey As a Beachbody Coach

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old mother of three (plus my stepson). I am a college student, a stay at home Mom, an ARMY wife, and a Beachbody coach. I dropped out of high school when I was 16 because I was too weak to handle bullying from my "best friends" about my interracial relationship with my now husband. I had our first child at the age of 17, Ava. I received my GED shortly after her birth in December of 2007. I had our second child at the age of 18, Zoe. Da'Ron (my boyfriend at the time and husband now) separated for three years shortly after her birth. During that time, I went through a wild stage and made a lot of bad decisions. I lost sight of everything I believed in.. marriage, a family, God, morals.. I am very blessed and fortunate that we were able to work things out and are currently going on two years of marriage now and our family has grown one more with the addition of our son, Joaquin.

While I was in labor with our son, Joaquin, I was on the phone with my husband as he was boarding a plane for Afghanistan. One week later, my Father passed away unexpectedly. In the meantime, I had to continue caring for three children while my husband was deployed and continue with my full time college classes. If at any time I wanted to give up in life, it was then. You know that saying, "You never know how strong you are until you have no other choice?" That was me. I had never been so sad, angry, depressed, and confused in my life.. but I couldn't just quit everything I was doing. Life goes on whether we want it to or not.

 I currently am holding a 3.7 GPA and going for my associates in Business Administration and made the Dean's list this past semester despite all of the events I just named above. Please, if you are in a place in your life where you are down and out.. just know that it can and it will get better if you make it better! I am a living example of that.

HOW I BECAME A COACH

I had already seen two of my friends amazing transformations from the inside out with Beachbody and the success they were seeing with their businesses. I wanted to ask about it, but of course I was too afraid. Carrie approached me with the opportunity because I had shown interest in her Facebook posts and it really took no convincing at all. I was already in!

I am determined to make this work and here is the reason why: I want to be able to spend more time with my family. I don't want to one day be caught up in a job that I hate that consumes my life. I want to be doing something that I love and enjoying life! I want to make a difference. I don't want a job dictating when and when I can't take off of work to take a vacation or go to my kid's soccer game. I mean, who DOES want that? This can work for you if you put your heart and soul into this business. You have to want it with everything you have.. You have to have a dream!

I am just starting out two months into this business. I drink my Shakeology daily and do Insanity and Slim in 6. I get off track, miss workouts, have a cheat meal more than I should. I'm not perfect. However, I won't give up. I am determined to reach my goals both physically and financially.

I want you to do this with me!! If you have any questions about the coaching opportunity or questions about how Beachbody's products can help you... message me! I want to hear from you. Add me on Facebook.. I want to get to know you!
