You are important.
It's time to choose you.

I started my health and wellness journey at one of the lowest points in my life. I am only at the beginning of a long journey but I have already accomplished so much. I have poured my heart and soul into Coaching and I would love to lock arms with you and run towards our goals together!
I'm Jessica and I am just like you. I am just a person who decided that I needed to make a change. This is me in April 2019 when I was 8 months pregnant with my last child. I was working more than 60 hours a week, trying to be the perfect Pinterest mom, and completely overwhelmed.
​
I had been struggling with my weight and wellness my entire adult life and it only got harder each time I had a child.
In May 2019 I had my last child (three is enough for us!). I have an amazing family and it's been a wild life. My two sons and daughter keep me on my toes. I work full-time and it always used to seem like I had too many plates in the air. Even with my wonderful SAHD husband backing me up I always felt short on hours in the day.
​
So as a rule, I would put myself last. Getting up early to get in a workout seemed impossible. Meal planning? What a joke! I had a vision of the kind of healthy and energetic mom I wanted to be but it seemed like an impossible goal. So I just let go of the idea
I remember this day. It was my son's 4th birthday party. I was stressed, working too much, and just generally overwhelmed by ALL THE THINGS.
​
I was also the heaviest I had ever been. On this day I weighed the same as I did the day I got out of the hospital with my last child.
No, I am NOT pregnant in these pictures. My youngest son was 22 months here. I was just at a point where I had let life get the better of me. Then...
​
Two days later the stay-at-home order started and then...I lost my job..YIKES!
It was a long summer of feeling lost, depressed, and anxious of what the future held for myself and my family. One day I got sucked down the YouTube rabbit hole just trying to escape reality and something caught my eye.
​
It was a video of a person living her best life and it made me think of my friend, and now Coach, Whitney. I decided that day that I was the only person that could change my circumstances.
​
If I could move to a foreign county, earn two advanced degrees, have 3 babies in 4 years, and be successful in my chosen career....then WHY, WHY, WHY was taking care of myself so hard?
​
​
I realized I was trying to do it alone. Since I started this journey on July 9th, 2020 I have taken control of my life and I have been held up by an amazing community of positive and supportive women.
It has been hard
There have a been a lot of tears
I have realized that taken time for myself is the opposite of selfish
​
Taking the first step WAS NOT easy but I am so glad I did...
...and here I am now. I still have a long way to go but I feel amazing!
I am a better mom and a better partner because I'm taking care of myself.
​
Now I'm not going to lie. These programs are designed to change your life and it is NOT a “magic pill”.
​
Expect to work hard. I don’t care where you’re starting from, only that you try your best!!
​
Are you ready?
