I am so excited today because I got the pleasure to recently speak with Erika Shannon on this week’s episode of Life After Cheer!

Erika has been a seasoned fitness expert for over 16 years. Today, she shares her advice and expertise for those looking for what’s next after cheer and how to create a career in fitness!

Tune into the conversation with Erika to learn more, such as:

1. [12:11] If you have a passion for something, you can’t deny yourself of that
2. [24:03] If you are transitioning into a career in fitness, go to the movement type that makes you feel good; don’t go after something that will hurt you, physically or otherwise
3. [36:20] Don’t be a jerk; create your work - if something isn’t happening for you, maybe you need to go out and make something happen for you
