The Work You Do Before the Results Show Up
The Work You Do Before the Results Show Up
In a room full of beautifully vibrant, highly motivated women, we were all taking turns sharing wins from this year and setting an overarching intention for next year.
What kept coming up was the overcoming of obstacles and how we showed up in those moments. For me, I started the year as an entirely different person, still living in my old narrative and insecurities. I knew I wanted to restart my business, but I was stuck in the past, where things didn’t pan out, I would burn out, and ultimately let myself down.
A shift took place when I began learning how to grow my clients’ mindset, rebuild habits and thought processes, and shed layers of themselves that no longer serve the person they’re becoming. I took the course to help my clients. What happened instead was a truly profound transformation for myself.
In moments where I would normally get stuck and walk away, I doubled down and figured it out, seeing things as challenges rather than setbacks. When I was reaching a deadline and things weren’t perfect, I found ways to make it “good enough” and hit publish or send instead of postponing indefinitely. I stopped comparing other people’s success to my own and began realizing I needed to trust the process that leads to inevitable success.
What’s more, I became open to what is possible for me. My insecurities and comparisonitis had me not fully showing up in my authority. Now, I have set big, audacious goals that no one can tell me are not possible. When I reflected back on those moments of overcoming and succeeding, even when things were stacked against me, I saw who I truly am at my core. Someone full of grit, compassion, and a willingness to stretch beyond what’s comfortable to live a big, beautiful life.
Going back to that room of women, I shared a number of these accomplishments while reflecting on what I had built that didn’t have an immediate return on investment, but I knew would serve my clients and my business in profound ways as things pick up steam.
I didn’t realize it at the moment, but I let out a big exhale, and they caught that. What was that exhale? It was a physical response to dropping a large mental load of things that once felt overwhelming, but day by day, I built and pushed forward to create what once felt impossible.
As we go into the final weeks of the year, let’s take a look back at how we showed up for ourselves. There is a person you became this year, and you should celebrate that. Next year isn’t about becoming a new you. It’s about leveling up the person you grew into this year.

Before I was even certified as a trainer I began working with friends and family with one strong conviction: I could change their life through strength.
My very first "client" was one who was waking up in pain and finally had enough. We got to work and within a week his pain was dramatically reduced. A month later, it was no more.
The workouts were simple and only 3x a week.
Since that moment I have grown significantly in knowledge, resources, and wisdom. Here's your chance to begin your own story of possibilities.
