Beachbody Coaching

Some of you know I have taken to a new dream job and I LOVE it! In February, I signed up as a Beachbody coach. I help people start their journey to healthy and fulfilling life, while living my own!

I have hosted a handful of challenge groups now and they are by far my favorite part. I get to help people find a program that fits their style and needs for fitness and health, and then watch them and motivate them to success! It is SO rewarding and exciting to see.

Not only has it been rewarding to see others, but it has also kept me accountable. DT has tried to get me to consistently work out and eat better our entire marriage-- or at least since softball's left my life. When this came up, he was blown away at how dedicated and motivated I became. It has changed my life in more ways than one.

A few months after I started coaching, Danny made a visit to the ER for a little scare with his Asthma. Then a few weeks later, he was in the hospital again with Viral Meningitis. Let's just say we did not budget for those hospital bills. However, I can say that without the money I've earned through this new job (if I can even call it that) we would be sweating bullets, but we aren't. Yes, it's still a hard one to swallow- I can't deny that. Yet, I can't complain about being able to pay for those bills, and contribute to our car  payments, student loans and other monthly expenses.

Why do I call it a dream job?

There are actually a few reasons I call this a dream job. One, is I can work as much, or as little as I would like to. Two, is I can have vacation/sick days whenever I need to. Three, I am able to stay home and raise Jax as my first priority. Four, I have never been more healthy or fit in my life (Even when I was playing collegiate softball). Five, I can go on all expense paid for trips like cruises to Jamaica and trips across the country or even to Paris.

So there are more than a few reasons-- but the one I think I'm most grateful for is that I can work when I want and still stay home with my little man. It has been such a blessing to be with him AND help support our family as DT's finished school and begun working full-time.

I love sharing my story and hope that it resonates with someone out there. It came at an opportune time for me and was exactly what I was looking for in my life. God answers prayers and is mindful of each of us!
