It's been such a pleasure to interview powerful female entrepreneurs, franchise partners and incredible business owners on this second installment of the podcast. Vulnerable topics focused on mental health, the postpartum period, surviving a pandemic, and stepping away from the scale.
What's next for me? I'm focused on family and personal goals to round out the year. This will allow me to get reenergized for Season 3 and really brainstorm on the content I want to bring to you guys and allow me to show up as my most authentic self.
Thank you for listening and allowing me to share my words on this podcast. Thank you for loving me, loving Burn Boot Camp, and being a part of this greater family.
Have a wonderful holiday season! It's not goodbye, it's see you soon.
Love,
Morgan
Morgan and one of our Franchise Partners, Julie White, have an incredible conversation today. Julie is a one-of-a-kind woman with an extensive background in helping others learn more about health + wellness. Especially younger women! She's paved the way for younger girls to enjoy fitness and cultivate a relationship with their bodies that they love.
Julie started Girls on The Run in Lexington, KY, and now runs the Atascocita, TX Burn Boot Camp.
Julie is in her late 50's and sharing her life hacks on how to stay motivated, different things she has implemented in her health and fitness routine as she's matured, and her favorite things to make sure her body still feels well. She shares her journey at Burn and the confidence she instills in other women her age who might be intimidated to step foot in our doors.
Join us for a great conversation!
Carey and Karen's conversation with Morgan was a bold and vulnerable look behind the scenes at what it looks like to partner with a friend and take bold leaps knowing that being "ready" isn't a real thing! These powerhouse women started off as most of us do, strangers, when they walked into Burn Boot Camp. They met on the floating floor a few months later after they showed up at the holiday party in the exact same outfit - a perfect conversation starter! They got to talking, became more than just acquaintances on the floating floor, and shortly thereafter decided to go into business with one another while still getting to know each other.
Through bold leaps of faith, holding each other in a place of grace, and overcoming grief, these women have been through it all and carved out a piece of the Waukesha community that they are proud to call their home. Listen along as these women open up and share their personal journies that not only led them to one another but to opening a Burn Boot Camp just months after their first official meeting.
Lindsay Gilbert is Morgan’s guest today! Lindsay is one of the Franchise Partners from our North Raleigh, NC location, a mom to two precious little ones, a trainer, and an OG Burn family member who has been with us from the start! On top of all of that, Lindsay also received her Health Coach certification. This woman does it all and has such a heart for serving others.
Morgan and Lindsay take a trip down memory lane on this latest episode, and you’ll get to hear how Lindsay has continually pushed herself to be the best version of herself she can be. They’re talking family, major life transitions, the perks of being your own boss, what it’s really like to build your own empire, and some incredible nutrition tips you haven’t heard yet.
In the latest episode, Morgan welcomes two of our Franchise Partners to the podcast! Roni Lewis and Shambrey Walker are Franchise Partners of our Fayetteville, AR location, and Roni is the sole Franchise Partner of Springdale, AR! This duo packs a punch and has a fire within to help those around them. Whether it’s bringing an incredible workout to their members or raising thousands of dollars for charity, there is no ceiling to these women making an impact in their community. Today we are diving into their business partnership, how they made it through these past two years opening their gyms, and Roni vulnerably shares about a very difficult season she endured on top of all the balls they have in the air.

Morgan got to sit down with one of the Franchise Partners of our Bartlett, TN location, Amanda Schwilch! Amanda is an active-duty Navy wife, mother of two, and crushing her ownership role. Amanda spent the majority of her career climbing the corporate ladder only to decide that at the age of 40, she was ready for change and embraced being a small business owner and entrepreneur! She fully leaned into the Burn Boot Camp family. Her M.O. is proving to those that she "can" in a world full of "cant's".
Amanda shares her personal story and what it means to be an active-duty Navy wife, mother, and business owner. She shares what it really means to be on active duty, and have a village you can really depend on. She also dives into how the Burn family has supported her through major life shifts and transitions, and what it was like to segway from the corporate world to entrepreneurship.
Amanda was determined to be her own boss, run her own business, and create her own success, despite any closed doors she arrived at and 'no's' she was told along the way. Listen in for an inspiring conversation that is sure to stick with you!
Mindset is everything! Morgan is opening up about her mental game and the mental muscles she flexes when things just don't feel right to get them back on track.
"You have to seek out positivity right now in this world. Everyone is struggling in their own way, and it can often come out as negativity on social media. I work really hard to not let the negative thoughts last long. If my mindset is off, I know I'm not the best person to be around. If I get down, worried, or anxious, things don't operate well. It shows up in work, my marriage, how I'm a mom. I've learned that about myself and I am very self-aware. If I'm acting out in a way that isn't who I want to show up as, I dig deep and figure out what is causing the stress in my life. I can recognize that my mindset is not good and then I analyze my inputs! What am I consuming? Podcasts, social media, news, conversations, anything! Your inputs equal your outputs!"
Healthy communication is just one of the tips and tricks I share when you need to hack feeling off and negative thoughts are consuming your mindset.

Stephanie is a Franchise Partner of our Celebration, FL location who just celebrated their one-year anniversary, and is a mom of two to a boy and a girl (8 and 6). She joins the Burn family with a background in working for cruise lines and Disney in the entertainment industry. Stephanie is an "all-in" individual and jumps headfirst into whatever opportunity presents itself. When her husband's job relocated their family from Orlando to Pensacola, she quickly had to pivot and find a new career path because there was not an entertainment industry in the area. She began in Real Estate before finding Burn Boot Camp and it was an easy decision for her and her husband to invest.
Morgan and Stephanie's conversation about what skill sets they've learned in their careers before Burn that set them up for success to become a business owner; including risk-taking, communication skills, and customer service. They talk about the importance of positivity, getting to know your members on a personal level, and leading with kindness and intentionality!
Stephanie also has a history of eating disorder(s) which was induced by her decade spent working for the entertainment industry. She opens up about her rock bottom, the importance of education in her recovery, and what it means to her to spread the good word to her clients in the fitness industry.

Morgan had the opportunity to sit down with one of Burn Boot Camp's multi-unit Franchise Partners, Wendy Egert, today! Wendy is the Franchise Partner of our Burlington, NC and Central Triad, NC locations. She is truly a jack of all trades! Between being a mom, and running her gyms, she is also a broadcaster for the NASCAR cup series.
Wendy started her Burn journey 7 years ago as many of us do, as a member! Her professional career has been with NASCAR and she just celebrate her 20-year mark with them. She started in NASCAR because her Dad is a retired NASCAR driver, and they moved down south from North Carolina from Chicago when she was in high school. She went down the media route from the advice of her mentors and started her broadcasting career at the ripe age of 21. She worked her way up from production, to broadcasting in NASCAR, and in 2004 became the first female pit road reporter and the youngest in the history of NASCAR to go on air and broadcast a race.
She has had the opportunity to be the first in a lot of things in the industry in a lot of realms. She has broken a lot of barriers and gone through many glass ceilings in her field by being her authentic self. She absorbed a lot of information from her family history with NASCAR and translated that into her passion and really formed a real relationship with the NASCAR fan base.
She walked in the door at Burn 7 years ago knowing just ONE person. She became a Certified Personal Trainer as a passion project, while still traveling and doing her broadcasting. She followed along as her newfound friends started to open Burn locations before she and her husband decided to open a location of their own! Follow along on Wendy's journey and join our conversation on all things entrepreneurship, following your passion, breaking glass ceilings, and coming out on the other side of a pandemic.
