This week on the Be Amazing Podcast Cel chats with guest Bess Kercher.  Bess indulged her love of stories at Davidson College, where she majored in English and dabbled in creative writing.  She later graduated with an M.A. in Organizational Communication from Queens University of Charlotte, and began freelance writing shortly thereafter.

She contributed to charlotteobserver.com from 2013-2017 on their MomsCharlotte platform, authoring parenting essays and the blogs Worst Mom Ever, Miracle on Curbstone Street, Mom and Pop, Because Friends, Team Mom, and A Few Good Moms: Can you handle the truth? She once won a writing contest as a blogger for skirt.com and her prize was a copy of the book My Formerly Hot Life, which seemed cruelly apropos, but still made her day . . . because there’s nothing like putting yourself out there and then feeling like someone gets you.

She currently enjoys a cozy lukewarm life in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband, two sons, and family mascot/dog, Maddie.

It’s tough to get any more inspirational than this week’s episode of the Be Amazing Podcast w/ Coach Jena.  Jena spent more than twenty years in the cosmetic dentistry industry before following a calling to become a fitness trainer.  While Jena very much looks the part of a fitness trainer, you’ll be surprised as I to learn that she is a grandmother of two and she doesn’t even really love working out.  It’s an addiction to accomplishment that drives Jena in her own fitness journey, and this is a cornerstone at her gym in Belmont, NC called About Face Total Training.  A true believer in the transformational powers of fitness both inside and out, Jena has built a gym and community of folks tapping their inner athlete to live their own unique definitions of a healthy and happy lifestyle.  Listen in and you’re likely to both laugh and cry as Jena tells a bit of her story and shares her five foundations for health and fitness.
