What happens when life forces you to start over…
and you actually listen?

In this episode of Becoming Lotus, I sit down with Jessie Thomas, founder of Farm Girl Fitness—an anomaly in the fitness world and a space that has become so much more than a gym.

Set on an 88-acre farm, workouts take place in a converted barn, out in the fresh air, and within a community that values connection over comparison.

After losing her job during the pandemic, Jessie didn’t have a plan…
but she started anyway.

What began with four people, hay bales, and uncertainty has grown into something rare—a space where people don’t come to shrink themselves, but to expand into who they are.

We talk about:

• Starting before you feel ready
• Why fear is often the beginning—not the barrier
• The truth about competition (it’s you vs. you)
• How consistency quietly changes everything
• And why what you build in fitness carries into every part of your life

This isn’t just about workouts.
It’s about identity.
It’s about showing up.
It’s about becoming.

If you’ve ever thought “I don’t know if I can do this”…
this episode is your reminder that maybe you can.

📍 The next DEKA event at Farm Girl Fitness is May 3rd.
Come compete—or just come watch and feel the energy. You might surprise yourself.

Because it’s never too late to start.

Until next time—keep rising, keep blooming, and keep soaking it all in.
