On February 18th, Micro Shift launched and became an Amazon Bestseller!  Today, we talk with Lauren Ammon, author of Micro Shift and founder of Performance Reimagined™️.

Lauren spent two decades chasing a successful swimming career. This foundation as a student athlete set the tone for high achievement in the professional world.

In November 2019, Lauren received her professional coaching certification from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) to feed her passion for supporting others in reaching their full potential.

While watching the 2020 Olympic games, there was a spark. As she watched Simon Biles remove herself from competition and Katie Ledecky do everything in her power to hide her disappointment following a lackluster race, she knew who she was called to serve. Athletes. It was validated when Michael Phelps told the world, "Competition is overwhelming. We just want someone to listen to us. Someone to support us mentally through the pressure-filled moments."

Lauren specializes in working with current and retiring athletes to master the mental part of the game. Her practice exists to show athletes there is an outlet to be heard, seen, and supported mentally and emotionally at the same level they are physically.

Bio:
Theresa created Lighter Life Coach because there is a need for women to learn the truth and understand that their value does not depend on their size, age, weight, looks, or IQ.

She believes that there is a different way to get healthy because getting healthy involves so much more than just diet and exercise. Restrictive diets don’t work because actions are motivated by feelings.  It is not about what we it it is about why we eat it.  

Theresa uses personal empowerment coaching to guide women to end the struggle with being overweight and feelings of overwhelm so they can have a Lighter Body and a Lighter Life. Theresa’s flagship coaching program is the Lighter Life Philosophy and is based on The Three Pillars of Light:  Empower Your Mind; Embrace Your Body; and Elevate Your Energy.

Her expertise comes from experience and knowledge in Education, Health, Personal Growth, Fitness, and Life Coaching. Theresa has a degree in education along with multiple certifications in health and fitness.

She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with her husband and occasionally one of their three grown kids.

Theresa’s favorite things include spending time outdoors, learning new things, and playing with her dog, Magic. She wants you to “Live Light.”
