Bailey Turpin works in the health and fitness industry. She is an OrangeTheory trainer and also works for Aegis Therapies and trains organizations on running health and fitness programs. She’s always loved fitness and she loves helping other people get the same good feeling that she gets through fitness.
Part of Bailey’s job is to work with the older demographic that resides in skill care facilities and she loves being able to help residents stay active and healthy.
It’s not about looks
Bailey has been in the health and fitness industry long enough to get beyond just the physical benefits of health and fitness. She now understands that true health is also about being mentally healthy and having a balanced approach to all aspects of your life. So she understands that having a one-dimensional view of fitness benefits can be destructive.
Relationships
Bailey has had some struggles in relationships. She had an engagement that she called off 20 days before her wedding, and it turns out that it was ultimately for the best.
Navigating your friend group after the breakup is also difficult, but Bailey has figured out how to avoid interaction that she doesn’t want to deal with, while also maintaining friendships that are important.
Blind Spots
Bailey has realized over the course of her dating life that many times, in the throes of a relationship, she (and most of us) has blind spots and it is important for us to rely on our inner circle of friends to point out things that we cannot see.
Being Alone vs. Being Lonely
Just because you are alone (single) doesn’t mean that you can’t have a fulfilled life. Bailey enjoys her alone time and has focused on doing a lot of reading at this time. She hasn’t relied on therapy, but she calls her Mom her best therapist. She’s focused on building a life that she loves. She just bought a house and is working on getting her financial house in order.
Giving Back
Being in a position to give when we aren’t expecting anything in return is important. Unconditional love isn’t really a thing, except in dogs. Through her online fitness program she wants to empower other women to be their best selves, whether it’s in areas like business or relationships. That’s where she wants to give back.
Public vs. Private
Just because we have social media, it doesn’t mean we have to share everything. There is some beauty in having some mystery. Sometimes, the more unhappy we are, the more we tend to post to social media - almost as a way to convince ourselves that we are ok. Sharing stories and vulnerabilities is helpful on social media, but it’s also ok to protect a bit of your life and hold some things back.
