Finding your calling in life and achieving your dreams

BreeAnna knew fitness and health were her passion as she reflected back on the workouts she began to do in just 6th grade! She was passionate about her health all throughout her teenage, college and motherhood years, which all lead to the business of her dreams. 

Overcoming challenges and using them to push you forward

While living in San Diego, BreeAnna was training and knew she had to get her own clients. She reflects on that time as very stressful and unknown. Would she have to go out in the streets in a rough part of town and ask people to join? She came up with the idea to teach classes at the gym and then build clients from there. 

Developing an online brand/business

With so many friends who wanted her training but weren't local, BreeAnna decided to go online as well. Developing an online business does not happen in the blink of an eye. She had to network and bring people on to her team! It takes years of work and BreeAnna and her team are constantly adding new things to it, such as supplements, gear, etc. 

Strengthening your mental health to overcome self-doubt

Throughout the process, BreeAnna felt a lot of 'mom-guilt'. She wanted to be spending the most time with her kids! It wasn't until she realized that having something of her own to work on was making her a happier mom that she began to find balance in her life. She told herself to quit being guilty and scale back. 

Hiring a team and delegating work

This became necessary so that BreeAnna could be the best mom possible and still own her business. She hired a nanny for a few days a week, as well as reached out on Instagram to find a virtual assistant to help build her brand. 

Now, how can you achieve your best health? 

BreeAnna has been able to achieve her best health, and help other women do so through 3 different categories. First is the mind, she focuses on meditating and manifesting the things that you want in life to achieve your goals. She also talks about your body, watching what you put into it, and how you exercise. Lastly, she talks about your soul and creating a vision for yourself.

How Tess increased productivity through knowing the enneagram

Tess O' Driscoll is a mother, business owner, and Enneacoach. Tess started this last year after learning that people can increase their productivity through knowing the Enneagram! She helps coach individuals, mothers, businesses, couples, and even parents on how to best use their Enneagram to better propel themselves forward in life and in business. 

So, what is the Enneagram? 

The Enneagram is a personality system that classifies people according to how they interpret the world and express their emotions. As Tess says, " I like to attribute it to when you go to The Disney Princess Test and it shows you what different princess it is. The Enneagram is different because you cannot just take a test and know what you are. It takes time to figure out your number because once you figure it out, it's accurate. It's definitely one of the most accurate readings or testing I've ever seen, so it's way more than a personality test but it's kind of exploded and been such a useful way for people to connect to themselves." 

This week's episode is all about the 9 different personality types and how to apply them in your life to increase productivity through knowing the enneagram. 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
