Quotes:

“Growing up I was bullied... I was different... and school was miserable... I just wasn’t into what other people were into... and I just really struggled to believe in myself for a long time”

“I was always so caring and so nice and I got taken advantage of... I remember I was crying through the hallways and well... one of my teachers pulled me aside and asked ‘are you happy?’ and it was in this moment that I really felt like someone cared... and someone actually believed in me”

“I had to learn to let go of seeking for acceptance and really just focus on helping myself... it was really hard because I was always trying to please other people... but really I just wasn’t taking care of myself”

“I had to realize that it was a choice to be around the people who were putting me down... and I had to find the courage to let them go... it wasn’t until I did this did my life really start to get better”

“I didn’t realize how important digestive health was... I didn’t think that it could be linked to impacting how I feel and even how my body looked”

“There were times in my life where I was just hoping that things would fall into place... and everything would be better... it wasn’t until I realized that no one was going to do this... and that I had to take ownership [of my life]... did I see my life actually change in front of me”

Quotes:

“From the outside viewing in, my life was perfect. I had a GF, a six-figure job... but I always felt unfulfilled and felt like something was wrong... and then I transitioned into entrepreneurship...”

“The start was rough.... I actually opened up a nutrition shop that failed miserably... and then I got the idea of trying to coach clients online... this was where my life began to change”

“Before I was just using Instagram here and there... I just didn’t realize the power that it held”

“I think one of the biggest things I am struggling with right now... is learning to make a set point when I feel okay with what I am doing... because there is always a tendency... to want more and more”

“I was a hardcore clean eater... and I was afraid of evolving out of this approach... I was scared of seeing my physique changing in a negative way... yet I was binging all the time...and then trying to compensate for it... and this was a really hard period of my life”

“We don’t have to be progressing at all things all the time... but I think evolving into indefinite progress... it’s something that really speaks to me”

Quotes:

“I was writing down recipes and I knew it was working for me... and I just realized that what I had in front of me was a cook book! Then the idea came to me that I could one day make this into a book...”

“I had to make a choice with my old job... and even though I loved it and I worked really hard to get it... I was making really good money too... I knew that my passion lied somewhere else... I had to follow it”

“I knew that a lot of people don’t want to go on a diet because they hate the taste of healthy food... so with the book came with a lot of questions like, what is the difference between all of these diets... so I ended up meeting with a friend of mine who is a dietician... and she became instrumental in making this book a success”

“There is a lot that goes into [building a following] that people don’t really see... I wish it was easy as just one viral post... but the reality just isn’t that”

“Often times its the mindset that accompanies us with food that affects our dieting... it is always the hardest part... often times people feel that they have predispositions to look a certain way... and although everyone’s genetics affects people differently.... there is so much that you can do to better your own health anyway!”

“I used to always count on what happened tomorrow to make me happy... I didn’t realize that my happiness came in the day by day... and when I follow my passion... I feel that every single day”

Quotes:

“I think that all of the struggles that I went through with competing and dieting has really taught me how to be a better coach... and with social media it really did change everything”

“After all of these years of competing... I wasn’t letting myself rest and recover fully... and my hormonal health wasn’t healthy... and my mental health suffered... and then I discovered yoga...”

“My original perception of yoga was... far off from what is was... and the community that yoga gave me... that safe space to really let go..."

“If you have never worked with people in person, then you probably will not have gained as much success with working with people online... the reason is because...”

“Don’t accept the status quo. You can’t find yourself being stagnant... not continuing your education... not growing outside of what you are or what you already know... we are always evolving... and if you can’t have that growth mindset then you won’t be able to progress”
