change it all.




As much as I am proud of the physical transformation Beachnody coaching has enabled me to have, I am even more excited for the emotional and financial transformations happening in my life and my family's life. 

As a coach I get paid every Thursday and yesterday's check was well over enough to pay our family's electric bill from last month. One WEEKS pay! I knew there was income potential with this opportunity but I didn't realize just how fast I could make it happen if I put my mind to it. 


What's more exciting is that ANYONE can do this. I'm not special. Just a mom with a full time job who is drowning in debt. I just want to make my family's burden lighter. And I LOVE that I am able to do that all by helping  people achieve their health, emotional and financial goals. 

I love knowing that the future doesn't depend on a raise or on how well Drew or I fit into someone else's mold. WE have big dreams, and we don't have to wish for them anymore. We just have to work. 

It's a pretty good feeling.

Oh no... I'm part of a PYRAMID SCHEME!



Human Pyramid

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!




I NEVER realized how much much traditional employment resembles a da da daaaaaa (whispers...pyramid scheme...)

Don't be a human stair step! You don't have to work for ANYONE. That is one utterly wonderful thing about network marketing! No one has to use anyone else as their stepping stone. With Beachbody, the ONLY way to succeed is through helping OTHERS reach their goals. And I LOVE that.

We work as a TEAM to help one another build volume and create residual income. With coaching, there is no scarcity mentality. We aren't afraid of running out of people to help or people that want to become coaches. There are MILLIONS of people out there that are ready for change; be it physical change or financial change. Heck, there is an entire generation of people growing up already battling the diseases we, as coaches are fighting to end. Trust me when I say, there is an ABUNDANCE of people to help physically. And I am sure you can agree that, in this era of student loan debt, credit card debt, inflation and just overall financial crises, there are MILLIONS of people out there LOOKING for a way to bring in an extra income to help ease the burden.

With network marketing (especially Beachbody IMO) the risk is basically non-existent. It costs $15 a month  to coach. $15! My initial sign up was $140 (I chose to purchase a fitness program and bag of Shakeology at sign up so I could have a knowledge of and experience with the products). What do I have to lose if I fail? A few inches from my waistline? Don't mind if I do! But guess what... I'm not going to fail. Because with Network marketing, all it takes to be a success is consistent effort and time. It doesn't matter who you know or where you went to school. No degree needed. No experience required. Just a teachable mind and a willingness to put yourself out there to help others.

Can you tell I'm a little passionate about it? Network marketing used to scare me too. I get it. But now I ACTUALLY GET IT! LOL And there is NOTHING to be scared of and EVERYTHING to be EXCITED about! Limitless potential.



Network Marketing isn't perfect. It's just better.
It's better than a blue collar job that beats on your body.
It's better than a sales job that makes you start over every single day.
It's better than working for someone else helping them reach their dream.
It's better than starting a traditional business with the massive risk.
Network Marketing certainly isn't for everyone, but if you have an entrepreneurial bone in your body, it's a better way.


So, what's holding you back?
Ask me ANYTHING.

my kid is pickier than your kid.


Oh how I love his tiny face! He is sweet, adorable and HILARIOUS.
But he (like my other two kids) is kiiiind of picky when it comes to food. Could it be because I always have my boob in his face? Maybe. But I know that's not what's up with the older two...they lost the boob a long time ago.

Any who, I've been doing some research on "picky" eaters and you'll be happy to know there is HOPE! 
Now, don't get all weird on me when I bring up the French and how they "don't get fat" because I really do think they're on to something here!

“The French believe that teaching a kid to eat is just as important as, and just as time consuming as, teaching them to read. When you teach a kid to read, you teach the alphabet, then words, sit with them, read with them. The French feel that way about eating. They have a long-term view. They also don’t get frustrated when there are bumps in the road. Some kids take longer to read than others, but they don’t give up and say “This kid is a picky eater, she just doesn’t like broccoli.” You don’t treat fear of foods as a personality trait, you treat it as a phase.” –Bon Appetit/Karen LeBillon


With that in mind, I found some easy kids meals we can try with our tiny food critics.

Find the full post here

Now go get em mama's and papa's! Let's train those tiny taste buds to enjoy more than just McNuggets!

ex-hausted.



Drew and I are tired like whoa. 

We wake up every morning at 5am. Him to bust his butt with Insanity. Me to work my coaching business. Waking up early is a bummer for sure but I kinda love it too because feels like it is the only time we are alone together these days. 

Parenting young kids is hard. They need so much. And they don't give a whole lot back. Cuteness for sure. Sweet, slobbery kisses definitely! But they are messy, loud, violent, and completely self-absorbed. At Least my kids. I may be doing this whole mom thing completely wrong. But that's another post for another day. 

Anyway what I do know is I Love them and I love Drew. We have a LOT going on  and some seriously BIG dreams. Waking up at the butt crack of dawn is a sacrifice we're more than willing to make to reach our goals. 

Xoxo,

where wendy lives.


Yesterday Ollie looked at me, starry eyed and hopeful...

"Mom, when will we go to Wendy's?"

"Who's Wendy?" I asked.

"The girl with the Baconater. When can we go to her house?"

Yep. It's time for some  changes.
