Be the woman you promised yourself you would be

Being a Coach...it saved me.  

It saved me from becoming the girl who was going down the path of "I'm supposed to be happy, so I guess this is good enough." 
I mean, why mess with "good enough"?  

It saved me from "Is this all there is?"
Why change paths when you are "working a dream job"? 

Honestly "good enough" just isn't "good enough" for me. I'm not that kind of person.

I still loved teaching and inspiring, but I needed to do it in a way that more on my own terms, with me at the steering wheel, making the decisions. That wasn't happening for me teaching college writing, or marketing for a law school. I needed to be more and do more for my family and I found a way to do that.

Coaching has given me more opportunities.
Coaching has given me more freedom.
Coaching has given me a tribe and support bigger than we ever imagined.
Coaching has given me a place to live out me passions and teach on a completely new platform.
Coaching has given me a reason to attack me day with positivity.
Coaching has proved me time and shown me time again that my work matters.

Coaching has given me the opportunity to greet the boys off the school bus each and every single day.

I was not a social media expert, nutrition expert, or your extroverted, friend on Facebook with 1,000 friends, when I started Coaching. I grew into the Coach I am today, on my own timeline, with my own rules, with my own goals and my own expectations. I grew to be the full-time GirlBoss that I am today. It didn't happen overnight, it happened over time.

But it all began with a simple decision. I said, "Yes, Vanessa, you do deserve more. There IS more."

It's not for everyone, but it's life-changing for go-givers, go-getters, and leaders who are positive people & love giving other's advice in fitness & health and in life.

How Beachbody coaching changed my life!

When I first started using Beachbody products I was expecting a physical transformation and to improve my overall health. I was expecting to lose muscle, tone up and finally be able to fit into the cute clothes I’d always wanted to wear but never looked good in. I was expecting to have more endurance and improve my fitness level and gain confidence. I was expecting ALL of those things, but what happened was way beyond a physical transformation… it was something I never could have imagined.

Beachbody changed the way I look at life. Before Beachbody, I suffered from depression, anxiety, and held on to resentment. But this LIFESTYLE taught me how to establish my priorities and create a vision for my life. I learned the necessary tools to take ACTION and create a life of my own design. I still get anxious and depressed, but this lifestyle taught me how to manage these monsters. Here's how:

1. ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT: Without my Beachbody support network, I never would’ve been able to lose weight. I would’ve given up long ago and fallen pray to the same cycle of bad habits. I’m in the best shape of my life and on my way to discovering my never-seen-before abs.

2. PAY IT FORWARD: As a coach, I’ve greatly benefited from Beachbody’s winning formula of Fitness + Nutrition + Support + Rewards and experienced first hand how it’s truly transformed my life. And now, helping others build a body they’re proud of and create their life vision is a great privilege that fills my life with joy.

3. MINDSET MAKEOVER: My new daily Personal Development habit pushes me to be a better person and challenges me to get out of my comfort zone. I’m learning how to become a leader and inspire others to be HEALTHY. FIT. FEARLESS. My incredible network of Fit Friends now fills my life with positivity and possibility.

4. LIVING LIFE BY DESIGN: I’m learning how to create a vision for my life and really DREAM BIG… and believe it’s possible.

5. IMPROVE MY HEALTH: Drinking Shakeology daily has given me incredible energy, increased focus, and has improved years of terrible digestion. I’m no longer riddled with cravings and hungry all the time. The endless cycle of quick fixes and yo-yo diets is now broken. My cholesterol also dropped 15 points last year, thanks to Shakeology.

6. FINANCIAL STABILITY: After years the corporate grind, missing out on my family's lives, I can now work from home, be here with my kids, and not miss important moments with them. Working as a coach, covers the cost of my Shakeology, along with extra money for groceries, bills, and VACATIONS!!

Thank you for your love and support!

Before 2016 fully fades into the past, I wanted wish all of my followers and supporters a very happy holiday and blessings for the New Year. I appreciate you showing me the love with your Facebook and Instagram "likes," your referrals, your positive comments! I feel the love, and I thank you.

Take time this season for you and fully enjoy the ones you love. Loving ourselves and our bodies primes us, and strengthens us with the ability to care for our families. It makes us happier people!

My husband and I had 10 days off with our boys. We've played games together, watched movies, built Legos, of course, there was some arguing and disputes! They are brothers, after all! It's not always rainbows and unicorns, but we usually look back and laugh at the good and the bad. This year, we traveled to Miami to visit family from December 9 to December 15, which postponed my holiday gift shopping....I left it until the last minute! But of course, the holidays come anyway, and so did being present with my family, because that is the true gift for this mom.

For me, 2016 was a memorable year, because I quit my traditional desk job to be a Beachbody coach full time, working from home, making my own flexible schedule! My sincerest and heartfelt thanks for following and supporting me on this journey I have been on as a coach. It touches me when people invite me into their lives as they join my team as coaches, or when reaching out for my help on their fitness transformation. My way of life sometimes seems like an unconventional way to earn a living, but this opportunity has changed my family's world. Many times it's challenging to be so public with our life, but I know it is worth it if I can help or inspire just one person.

Because of Beachbody, my life will never look the same. This blessing has allowed me to find my passion while creating a life of financial freedom for my family. Life is too short to settle for a job that you hate, or time away from those you love. I made the decision to become a coach, follow a different path to find joy in life, and be present with my family. One of my favorite quotes comes from Gary Vaynerchuk (social media and business mogul): "In 2016 there is no reason to do shit you hate!" I put aside my fears, worked hard and went for it. Make no mistake, I did not choose the easy path, but I chose one where I could design a life I love, and have an impact!

The mission of  my business is helping others get healthy, and I take this seriously. And I use the word "HEALTHY" on purpose, instead of skinny, or strong, or lean. To me, "healthy" means happy and confident in ones body, because we're fueling our bodies with whole foods and treating them to loving movement. One of my clients recently said to me that in my mission to help others get healthy "you're saving lives." I never thought of it that way, and I was honored by her statement. In my heart of hearts I believe I have a gift that was put in my life for a reason. The rewards of this job reach beyond the financial, when I teach other coaches how to duplicate my success in my business, or when I can help someone accomplish a weight loss goal, and learn how to love their body.

2017 is going to be an even bigger year for our family, and I hope it will be a year filled with blessings for you too!

Happy New Year to all of you! Looking forward to working with so many of you in the coming months as you set out to accomplish your own New Year's resolutions. Please reach out if you would like to join my Happy NEW YOU health and fitness accountability group or fill out the form below.

Thank you for your love and support, and for being part of the journey

Before 2015 fully fades into the past, I wanted wish all of my followers and supporters a very happy holiday and blessings for the new year. I appreciate your likes on Facebook, your referrals, your positive comments! I feel the love, and I thank you.

Take time this season for you and fully enjoy the ones you love. Loving ourselves and our bodies primes us, and strengthens us with the ability to care for our families. It makes us happier people!

My husband and I have 10 days with our boys. I relish these 10 days. We'll play games together, watch movies, build Legos, and I'm sure I'll be mediating some arguments too! They are brothers, after all! It's not always rainbows and unicorns, but we usually look back and laugh at the good and the bad. Last year, our dog got into all our holiday chocolate stash, and we had to take her to the vet to get her stomach pumped! My husband was furious, my boys sympathized with the dog, and I, of course, ran out to get more chocolate to make sure it wouldn't ruin the holiday!! It's a family memory, and we look forward to creating more this holiday season! This is the time to create those memorable moments!

For me, 2015 was a memorable year, because of all of you! My sincerest and heartfelt thanks for following and supporting me on this journey I have been on as a coach.
