You see this last weekend I did something I envisioned a year ago but wasn’t certain it would become a reality…at least not so soon!
Now I have to share that this would not have been possible without the incredible support of my husband
He was a key player as I hosted my first ever DIAMOND Retreat in Deep Creek MD with one of my closest friends and what I like to think of as my Business Partner in crime!
You see…Sarah and I attended a leadership retreat last year hosted by our upline sponsor coach and we decided that this year we would do the same…with OUR leaders WE would help shape as we built our teams, our legacy, our TRIBEs throughout the last year.
Sarah and I are Success Partners.
We are each other’s biggest fans, shoulder to lean on, supporter and FRIEND. We get each other, build on one another’s strength’s and compliment each other’s weaknesses in a way that allows us to become better Coaches and better LEADERS.
Being able to work together to host this weekend and to get these girls together was literally a DREAM COME TRUE!
The only thing that would have made it better was if all our Diamond Coaches could attend!
Our Friday morning kicked off with a car loaded with gifts, food, craft supplies and perhaps some beverages!
We planned this weekend to not only recognize our leaders but help them grow, answer their questions, give them advice, help them with their vision and have some fun and celebrate all our team accomplishments!!!
The girls all walked in to a table covered with personalized posters and a few gifts of course!!! Gift giving has become my love language in this business. These ladies work H-A-R-D and being able to shower them with meaningful, purposeful gifts fills my heart, or my cup shall I say!
Friday night included a training while we piled high on the couches, ears wide open ready to absorb, take notes, and apply these things to our business.
We had fun asking questions, allowing the girls to all get to know each other and all sharing a bit more about ourselves and WHY we all not just took this LEAP into coaching but continue to work hard each and every day to grow our businesses and serve others!
There were happy tears, some sad tears and a heck of a lot of bonding!
Our Saturday was JAM PACKED…starting with few minutes for ME!
I know it may sound crazy but I need these 10-15 minutes of positivity in the mornings to get into that mindset.
We enjoyed a COUNTRY HEAT LIVE workout led by one of our coaches…
From the girl who never wears make up and didn’t even OWN a curling iron to last year I will admit…getting all done up and feeling like a princess is one heck of a confidence boost!
When the glam was over we switched gears and headed off to the Lake to RELAX. I honestly feel that the best aspect was NO WIFI!!
Unplugged, laughing, chatting, being adventurous and simply being together was so rejuvenating!
We enjoyed all our meals at the house, prepared with good company, keeping it clean where we could
and splurging where anyone would…ICE CREAM BAR!
The last “activity” included crafting up vision boards together.
Each girl brought their own board, ideas and together we talked about what we wanted, what we needed, what our path looked like and how big our dreams could be dreamt!
Did you know when you write out your goals it will force you to clarify what you want because it will motivate you to take action?
It will provide a filter for other opportunities and it will help you overcome resistance because it will enable you to see—and celebrate—your progress.
If I can give you one bit of advice: its don’t just sit with your goals in your head.
Write them down.
Share them with others.
And celebrate every step along the way!
Our night ended, we woke up Sunday morning, said our goodbye’s and all headed home.
Grateful
Thankful
and
BLESSED to have this weekend.
I often share that this life I now have is nothing that I ever imagined my life would look like.
I thought I was going to be this successful business woman working in a tall city sky scraper in NYC making the big bucks
But now that I look back, I realize that I still have that career I envisioned…I just work from a home office in the Pittsburgh suburbs…

My team is hosting a sneak peek into coaching event next week and I would love to share more with YOU!
Are you READY-emotionally and physically for that CHANGE?
Change isn’t easy. It can be hard. There can be moments of doubt. But my goodness when you reach that goal it feels pretty darn amazing.
Let me share for a minute my moment when that desire to change finally outweighed my desire to stay the same…
I was 3 most post-partum with my second child. I was 27 years old, holding on to about 5 or 7 ‘extra’ pounds at that point and down right – EXHAUSTED (what mom of an infant isn’t?!?!)
For the longest time I just thought new moms were supposed to be tired all the time…but then I realized…
It just didn’t seem right.
I was young, a stay at home mom of 2 and I wasn’t overweight. I had all these “things” i wanted to do with my kiddos and around the house and being EXHAUSTED wasn’t really an option. Not anymore!
But I am no fool.
I knew the problem.
It was my nutrition and lack of ANY type of exercise was the root of the cause…
So I took the plunge and made the commitment to change all the things that I knew were bringing me down and low and behold…I FOUND MY RESULTS.
Sure, the portion containers were intimidating at first. I had never measured ANYTHING.
I was a bit reluctant to think there was really a program out there that could help you lose “up to 15 pounds in 21 days”.
And don’t get me started on the hesitations to Shakeology – I thought it was crazy expensive and truly expected a chalky milk drink!
But like I said, I was ready to make that commitment. So I pushed the doubts aside and jumped in…all IN and I have never looked back!
My passion, my business and a huge part of my life has become helping other women – and other moms – find what I was looking for 2 years ago.
To find that solution to a problem, to support others in their journey, to guide them and teach them so they too know just how amazing their bodies are designed to feel when treated right!
So let me go back to how I started this post…
Does YOUR desire to change outweigh your desire to stay the same?
If the answer is maybe or I think or perhaps, then I can’t help you right now…
BUT – If the answer is Heck to the YES then read on…
Because I am so excited to announce my first ever STRIPPED Clean Eating Challenge.
This group will be different from others in that we will be focusing on those specific foods that are holding you back from reaching your own goals!
You will have the option to pick your workout program and I will help you find the one right for you!
And yes – that chalky milk that I was so afraid of in the beginning – you’ll be trying that too! Because, well, in all honesty I couldn’t have been more far off on how amazing that superfood meal replacement shake truly is!!!!
We will go through goal setting and we will start and end our group – TOGETHER!!!
At the the end of our 21 days together you will also have the option to also do the 3 day refresh to get the best results possible.
And don’t worry – I will be in the trenches with you! I have our annual beach vacation on the horizon and my best friends wedding later this summer! Not only do I want to look my best – but I want to FEEL my best too! I am going to be BUSY!
So if you’ve made it this far I am thinking you just may be at that point too! That point where your desire to change outweighs your desire to stay the same – so let’s do this!!!
If you’re ready to DROP 10 – Fill out the form below to be considered for 1 of my 10 spots.
To sum up – your requirements are:
1. Must not be a customer of another coach
2. Each participant will purchase the challenge pack of their choice & replace one meal a day with Shakeology
3. Must be ready to COMMIT to a change and toss the excuses out the window
This group will fill up fast! I am excited to have you with us on this journey!
Ahhh I can’t believe this weekend is finally here!
There’s been a lot of prep going on the background for months but our Beachbody Super Friday weekend has arrived and I have butterflies just thinking about all to come!
We have a jam packed agenda Friday night and a heck of a lot of recognition to endure as we have the Top Coach in all of Beachbody along with a 2x Top 10 coach, our CEO – Carl Daikeler and Celebrity Trainer Autumn Calabrease. And to cap the night we’ll be enjoying a live mashup by none other than Master Trainer Kam Niskach.
Its been such an honor being part of the Pittsburgh Market Council and being involved with all the planning and coordinating behind such a huge event!
We are sold out, leading the event in one of the most amazing places in Downtown Pittsburgh and I know we will not disappoint!
And while this excitement is swirling around in my head I am flashing back to last year’s event – one where I arrived as a star diamond coach with my hubby and just one coach on my team, my bestie.
Fast forward this year – I have coaches coming in from all across PA, OH, NC and even Canada! Wow – That little compound effect is amazing.
From a 1 star Diamond team a year ago to a 5 star diamond ELITE team today!
It truly does just start with ONE and I know these ladies are all going to leave this event with a fire burning inside of them to get out there and rock this business!!! Its such a powerful thing!
Just thinking of how much has spiraled and transpired over the last year leaves with me this burning desire to get out there and share this opportunity with everyone I cross paths with! Its given me such a new outlook on life. How you can live out the most amazing life in balance, health and fulfillment!
And well, that’s only Friday night…
I have also been asked to present at a Dream Team led training Saturday morning along with a few of the BEST of the BEST coaches in the entire network.
Talk about surrounding yourself with those that lift you higher!
Some of these ladies presented last year and I remember sitting there listening and absorbing thinking WOW – I can only imagine what that feels like to be up on that stage sharing their best practices and low behold there will be no imaging this year!
I’ll be living it and I’ll have my TEAM, my mom and my husband all there to support me.
If that doesn’t fill my cup I don’t know what does!
Then I get to spoil my coaches with some hair and make up pampering before we set off to enjoy a night of dancing and fun at the Lexus Club in Consol Energy.
Can someone pinch me now? Is this really my J-O-B?!
Sometimes I can’t believe it myself – but its true and YOU too can experience all the fun, excitement and fulfillment! Yes I work hard, I work a non-conventional job, and I make sacrifices but the benefits of those sacrifices far outweigh the rest!
So are you ready to join my team? Let’s make 2016 EPIC!
Ok I need to get real, open, and honest for a minute – so please hear me out:
This past week I received a weekly paycheck equivalent to my PRIOR audit manager – semi-MONTHLY salary.
And it really just made me THINK…
It made me think of a lot of things, reflect, fill myself with gratitude and truly realize what a blessing it was the day I decided to take the road less traveled and become my own BOSS!
You see, through this whole thought process, I was reminded of the Christmas right after we became a family of four. Earlier that year we made the decision that I would leave my full time career to be a full time stay at home mom. And while hard to admit – I had a hard time finding the blessings…the combo of sleepless nights, little adult interaction and a shrinking savings left me STRESSED on a regular basis let alone the additional expenses of the holidays.
I wanted to do the things I used to do and give to those causes I used to give to but I couldn’t. We simply couldn’t. We kept the holidays small and I felt like I was going backwards in life.
Fast forward 2 years and 18 months into my business and I have been able to build more than a full time income working part time hours from my home – in the early morning hours before my kids woke up and late at night after they went to bed…and the consistency paid off, the results compounded and now I am living my life by DESIGN as a result of the work I have put it day after day and week after week and month after month!!!
Coaching is not all about the money for me, but I would be lying if I said it didn’t help ease the stresses and allow us to live the life we dream of. A life where I am able to help support my family while still raising my kiddos. I believe I have the best of both worlds and I want others to know and realize they can do this too!
I know sometimes its inevitable that you will need to get a part time job through the holidays but that doesn’t mean you have to leave your home!!
Yesterday I got an email from Kohls stating that they were now “hiring holiday help”
I walked into Target and saw the sign – NOW HIRING!
I read a stat that 1 in 5 people plan to get a 2nd job to afford the holidays and after polling 2,200 people, 45% of them said they would struggle to afford gifts this year.
While the Holidays are supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year I know first hand that they can cause a LOT of STRESS!!!
And I have decided that this year I want to help others benefit from this amazing opportunity that my family has been blessed with!
I am looking for 5 people who would like to earn some Cash For Christmas!
Mamas who –
*are driven
*want to inspire
*are coachable
*are READY to do more!!
There isn’t day that goes by that I don’t thank God for the opportunity I was given!

👉I graduated from college in the top of my class with a degree in Finance and Accounting.
👉I spent 6 years in public accounting – where the majority of my life was spent WORKING – missing out on events, missing my friends and family and watching my little girl grow up through the pictures I received.
👉2 years ago I left my career to be home and raise my babies to “never work again” and I really did believe that statement!!!
🙌Then I joined an online accountability group to help lose just 3 post-baby pounds but I had no idea what I would gain…
I found a common ground with these girls. We were supporting one another, working towards our own health and fitness goals and shortly after all working to pay it forward and help others realize their true potential too!
I didn’t have a vision at first. I never imagined I could create a BUSINESS working from home, while continuously working to become the best version of myself, helping my family become healthier, traveling, working towards financial FREEDOM and building incredible friendships!!!
I would not be living such a fulfilling life today if I hadn’t taken the leap to become a Beachbody Coach 15 months ago!
While it was the accountability that got me started, it was the friendships, support and being lifted up higher that keeps me going!!!
I feel so blessed to have this opportunity and taking the road less traveled to achieve success I didn’t think I was capable of!
Let’s pause for a minute…
