Motivational Monday: Who am I???

Happy Monday everyone! It's the start to a new week and the week leading up to my favorite holiday of the year. Yes! Easter is my favorite holiday, I love going to church with my grandpa on the weekend, I love focusing on my faith and realizing why I am so blessed. I love the easter dinner and it's no secret I love Easter candy. Yes! I eat candy. I just don't eat it on the regular anymore.

So I know I post a lot about what I am doing and people are probably wondering who am I? Why would you consider following me and allowing me to help you in your journey. Sometimes it's hard to be vulnerable and put yourself out there but sometimes that is the best path for success to achieve your goals.

I am a relationship person. I do my best to give everything to those in my life. I love my family and am so thankful I have them. I truly don't know if I would still be here if it wasn't for them. I have a wonderful group of supportive friends that embrace me for all of my quirks and make me feel so blessed. I would do anything for the people in my life. I cannot imagine my life without them and thank God everyday that he continues to bless me with such quality people who truly make me want to be a better person.

I am someone devoted to helping others. I am a traveling therapist and currently covering OH, PA and MD while currently pursuing my license in Florida. My job enables me to move every 3-6 months and travel all over helping patients in a variety of settings. This is an awesome job and the opportunities my company have provided me have been amazing. I now am also a health and fitness coach through Beachbody. I have not abandoned my traveling job, I just do both now. What I do as a coach is help others improve their health and well being. I was that person who was struggling, had no motivation and needed a way to get back on track. I joined a health and fitness group and it has just blossomed from there. I get to know my clients, personally give them recommendations that will help them succeed and follow them through their journey.

Not only do I love helping people I love being outdoors. I surf, rock climb, kayak, bungee jump and am planning to learn to sky dive this year. I am adventurous, I have no fear and I love going out and trying different things. I cannot get enough of being in the sun at the beach. I love being outdoors and enjoying the beauty in this world. I love pushing my limits and trying things that are slightly dangerous but know how thrilling they will be. I love the adrenaline rush you get from life.

I love fitness. This isn't something new for me. I have been playing sports since I was 5. I played a variety of sports throughout school however, it wasn't until after college that this love truly became a passion. I really love to lift. Yes a girl that lifts and still looks feminine. Lifting helps me to be strong to help my patients while also enabling me to burn extra calories and achieve my goals. I love Barre! I was never a dancer but this workout is by far my favorite way to work my legs. The burn is unreal and the results are fabulous. I love hot yoga on days when I need a solid stretch. Yoga truly pushes your strenth limitations- it's not just a flow thing it's amazing how challenging it can be. Now because of my lifestyle I have found the wonderful world of working out at home. I have so many workouts that enable me to train every muscle, get intense cardio workouts and even do yoga, pialtes and barre all from home. It's amazing now how much more time I have for myself working out at home. I still go to studio classes because I just love getting mor workouts in.

I am quirky. I love giraffes....well I am obsessed with giraffes. I sleep with my large stuffed animal giraffe every night. Yes I'm 27 no shame in my game. I love television. No joke. I watch a lot of shows while I work and get my daily chores done. I love getting drawn in and trying to figure things out. I love reality tv for some reason it just takes my mind off life and makes me appreciate my life more. I love binge watching shows on Netflix on cold days. I love dancing in the car on road trips and really just being me, doing the things I love like hitting up TJ Maxx or Marshalls on a whim. I just do whatever comes to mind at that moment.

I work hard. I know no other way then to give it my all and push really hard. I worked multiple jobs in college while going to school full time. It was hard, I sacrificed a lot but it taught me time management and the importance of being financially stable. It taught me the importance of an education. I now work two jobs by choice. I love being a therapist and giving my all to my patients so they get quality care. I also love giving everything into my Beachbody business because I know what it's like to feel helpless and need someone to support you. I work by choice and I could not be happier. I wake up everyday thankful for another day and thankful for the ability spend my whole day doing work I love.

I am just a regular person that has extraordinary goals and believes that there are no limitations or excuses if you want something badly enough. Just go for it. Who cares if you fail. I believe it's better to try and fail then not try at all.
