Crazy Sexy Anxiety

On this episode of Crazy Sexy Anxiety, I am answering the top questions I get about how I built an entire career for myself without leaving my home or getting dressed!

On my 2022 taxes, I earned $95,000. Every single penny came from my partnership with BODi. (insert income disclaimer...aka you have to be willing to WORK and allow this business to work FOR you!)

You guys, I was an elementary school teacher, I did NOT set out to become a partner with a major wellness platform.   When I joined this program, I was THE LOWEST point in my life. I was drowning from crippling anxiety and couldn't even get out of bed without being heavily medicated.

I didn't even want to join Beachbody (now BODi) at first, because I didn't believe it would work AND on some level, I thought I was "too good" for it.

Boy, was I wrong.

The fitness and nutrition program literally changed my LIFE. And I talk about that part ALL the time. But let's move on to the business, shall we?

If you wonder:

How can I make money from home as a stay at home mom?
What can do I in addition to teaching to make extra money?
How much money can you make with an MLM?
Are MLM's a scam?

I want you to listen to this episode and if nod your head EVEN ONCE, I want you to think about how this company could possible enhance your life...

I'm an ordinary mom...who built an EXTRAORDINARY life for herself.  I make enough money to support my household bills, to have extra spending money, and to even TRAVEL. I get so many REWARDS from this company- it's INSANE!!

And the way I support my partners is completely different. I have a specialized training program that puts my team through the paces and leads them directly to success. In fact, I run one of the TOP RANKED teams in the ENTIRE NETWORK.

Reach out to me. Let's talk. I changed my life...maybe I can help you change yours?

You ready? Let's do this!

And now...and a word from our sponsor...

Ever think about what you're eating on a daily basis that could actually be causing your body to bloat and your mind to be TOTALLY foggy??  Did you know that there's a DIRECT correlation between your GUT health and your MENTAL health? Not to mention this EASY to follow the Gut Protocol nutrition plan by BODi will help your body shed INCHES in mere weeks. And yes, you'll be eating REAL food. This is NOT a "cleanse" where you're drinking suspicious green potions.

This episode of Crazy Sexy Anxiety is a re air of one of my most popular episodes from the very early days of my show. My guest Idalis Velasquez. She’s an internationally known super trainer with BODi and a HUGE advocate for mental health. I think you’ll find this conversation really enlightening, reassuring, and motivating. Take a listen. 

Breaking News:

 Your body is not meant to be the same size ALL YEAR LONG!
 Exercise is NOT just to lose weight and improve your appearance.  
 Exercise should be used to help YOUR MIND, YOUR MOOD and your 
 OVERALL WELLBEING.
 
 Meet Idalis Velasquez. She's an internationally known trainer AND an advocate for mental health. 
 
 Listen to hear her story, and how she learned to evolve past the shame of mental illness. 

 MAKE SURE YOU TAKE NOTE  OF WHAT'S BELOW!

**5 tips to instantly improve your mood **

1.    Sleep

2.    Exercise (any way to move your body) 

3.    Nutrition (junk food might taste good but it's doesn't make us feel good)

4.    Get outdoors 

5.    Connection (we aren’t meant to be alone)

And pro tip! If you want to not drive yourself crazy as your body ebbs and flows, (which it's meant to do) , keep 3 different sizes of denim in your closets at all times!!

I wanted to record this episode with Dr Sylvia K because I struggle (as do many of us) with comparing ourselves to others on social media.

So how can we enjoy social media without beating ourselves up for not being as successful/thin/happy/grounded etc as people we follow and admire???

Comparison isn't always bad...it can be used as a tool to take accountability.  We have the power to see someone else's success and recognize that we have that same ability in us to be that successful.

It's all about self awareness and observation, baby!

So let's stop scrolling and looking for problems...let's scroll and admire and be inspired.

At the same time- it's important to recognize when your body is being HARMED by comparison...if you're FEELING negative sh$t going on in your body...stop scrolling. It's not serving you right now.

There is a way that you can scroll on social media and not allow the comparison game to take over...

So when you're finding yourself comparing your life to others' ....try these three steps:

1. Validate your current situation. Validate your feelings and your thoughts.
2. Find one statement that provides HOPE.
3. Imagine what your future self would say to you in this moment?

Dr Sylvia offers her wisdom 1:1 and in group settings.

There's this misconception that weight loss and being healthy is an "all or nothing" mentality.  BODi super trainer, Autumn Calabrese, is here to debunk this myth and make weight loss and Gut health achievable.

The program that changed my body initially was 21 Day Fix. In the plain terms, 21 Day Fix combines simple and effective workouts (30 minutes) with PORTION CONTROL nutrition where you "eat the rainbow". Meaning, you're eating REAL foods without questionable ingredients.

Autumn set out to make eating healthy as simple as possible. And I can tell you, she accomplished that goal. 21 Day Fix makes eating well EASY.  I lost the weight that I gained from my antidepressants and I finally had energy again.

Fast forward to now, the new Gut Protocol program was created out of a need to feel better. Autumn was struggling with her digestion and anxiety and after seeing several doctors, she finally found a functional medicine Dr who did the right testing and found food sensitivities that Autumn has that were living in HEALTHY foods that she was eating on a regular basis.

Years later, with Autumn's help, BODi launched Gut Protocol, a revolutionary nutrition program that temporary eliminates certain foods from your diet in order to help heal your gut...and news flash...gut health DIRECTLY impacts your MENTAL HEALTH.

Alongside Gut Protocol, 4 Weeks for Everybody is a new workout program that's low impact, but with HIGH results. This workout program uses slightly lighter weights, but higher and slower repetitions.

I can tell you that for me, personally, Gut Protocol and 4 Weeks for Everybody has once again CHANGED MY BODY.

I recently gain a few pounds thanks to wine and hormones, and I needed a program that was actually going to HELP feel better, lose the bloat, but not ruin my life....Gut Protocol was the answer I was looking for.

If you don't believe me, just head to my IG to see my before and after pictures!

And last but night least...Matcha is my new bestie and here's the one that I've been drinking lately. Have you tried Matcha??? Girl!! You have to try this stuff, especially if you're going to do Gut Protocol!!

When I tell you that this conversation had me on the edge of my seat, it is NOT an understatement. 

I have been so frustrated with my body lately. And I know, I’m supposed to LOVE my body. It’s the body that brought my children into the world, the body I have nurtured and nourish all of these years, but what the f*%k is going on with it lately???!!!  It feels overnight my body has been taken hostage by a big, scary monster that lives under my bed….my HORMONES!! 

Does this sound like you? You workout, you eat well, but now your butt has grown so large that it wants its own zip code. UGH!! 

So, what can we do about it??

 Well, girls, I’m here to give you some ANSWERS. When I was in my darkest days of anxiety, I would search the internet for insight and community and I found NOTHING that resonated with me, only scams that offered a “quick fix for a better life”

So today I am bringing you Dr Lauren Fiztgerald. She’s an anesthesiologist turned functional medicine doctor who runs a wildly successful med spa in St Charles, IL, 

(https://www.larimarmed.com).


Dr Lauren is going to give the real deal, no bs on what we can’t lose weight in our mid 40’s, and what we can actually do about it.

So if you’ve been wondering:

Do hormones really play a factor in weight gain or weight loss?

How do I balance my hormones?

Why is weight loss so hard in your 40’s?

Then this episode IS FOR YOU.

Make sure you follow Lauren http://www.instagram.com/drlaurenfitz

Hope you're ready to feel inspired because this story will tug at your heart.

SaraMae was typical fitness-focused girl, a runner, actually, until she survived an unimaginable change.

Ten years ago, SaraMae was preparing for marathon, sprinting up stadium stairs , when she noticed that something didn't feel right. She tried to ignore her pain for days, but  eventually, she ended up at the ER.  24 hours later, she was in and out of consciousness...and everything went black. Literally. She was rushed back to hospital and discovered that her organs were failing. She was put in a medically induced coma and her family was told to say their goodbyes.

She was in the medically induced coma for two weeks, which was a horrific event for her.  She was suffering from septic shock and MERSA, which resulted in needing both of her legs amputated.

And that's when everything changed..

SaraMae had a choice how she would respond to such a horrific event.

SaraMae had several battles that she had to fight: physically, mentally and emotionally.

The road to healing was not linear, and far from easy...but this story is incredibly inspirational and here's why: We all have adverse situations. We all feel powerless to certain thoughts and emotions. But we all have a choice. Choose to channel the power that SaraMae has...and keep fighting.

SaraMae now runs a program called Wellness Warriors, helping veterans heal from injuries. https://www.wellnesswarriros.com

My weight loss story is unique in that I never struggled with weight until I started taking Lexapro. But when I started Lexapro, my body puffed up and I gained 15 lbs.  I was SO much happier on the Lexapro, and I clearly needed it, but the weight gain made me SO unhappy that I actually WENT OFF of the medication.

BIG MISTAKE.  HUGE. (name the movie!)

But seriously, I stopped taking the Lexapro and I completely crumbled...to the point where my husband had to sit me down and tell me that I basically had no choice but to get back on the drug and just deal with the side effects.

So what I did instead of just "dealing" was I started the workout and nutrition program offered through BODi (formally Beachbody). I FINALLY learned how to eat right for MY specific body, and I learned to LOVE moving my body everyday. I lost the 15 lbs.

But what about gaining a life??

Well, I discovered that there was a business opportunity with the company and I slowly began to work with BODi as a partner. I educated other moms just like me who needed and deserved the support. My business grew over 7 years to eventually becoming a top earner (6 Figures).

But I was still missing something...

There was still something that I could do to REALLY help other struggling, anxious women who wanted to make extra money and deserved a community.

I partnered with my friend, marketing guru, podcaster and public speaker, Andrea Rappaport, to create a ROADMAP that offers ACTION STEPS to women who are looking to begin and network marketing side hustle, or promote their own business.

Check out our ROADMAP, called the No BS Roadmap to Social Selling if you're ready to make some serious money FAST.

Our ROADMAP is SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE, with PROVEN tools that WE CREATED.

The same tools that Andrea used to grow her podcast from NOTHING to #2 on Apple Podcasts in her category ($$) and took me from ranking #76 to #43 in my company over ONE YEAR.

Cheers to EVERYONE having the opportunity to feel good in their bodies and their bank accounts.
