  • Episode 60: Andie (@cartwheel_ac)

    On this episode, this week’s guest is Andie (@cartwheel_ac).

    I became aware of Andie after listening to a podcast that she did with my coach, Daryl Perry. You can listen to that episode here. She was saying things that I absolutely believed in and I was completely into the whole episode with a smile on my face. She gets it. She knows the ins and outs of a healthy lifestyle and she's proving it every day. 

    Andie is a coach, a mom and an all around badass!

    I was excited to bring her on the podcast and just pick her brain. I wanted to know what makes her tick and in this episode, you find out why Andie pursues progress. This makes me a fan. I love people who just know what they want and go after it. I can't say much about Andie without putting a smile on my face. She's a rockstar. She loves fitness. She loves being a strong woman and she's putting in the work to show others that they can be strong as well. 

     I hope you all enjoy this thorough conversation.

      Valerie is one of my favorite people on and off Instagram. She's one of the few people that I talk to on an almost daily and she knows entirely too much about me personally. She's opinionated and in this episode, you'll find out about what makes her her. I also know entirely too much about Valerie but I also learn a few tidbits of her story that she's never shared with me. This episode is open, honest, and unapologetic.  I hope you all enjoy this thorough conversation.

      Kaitlin is one of my favorite people on Instagram. She's one of a handful of people that I talk to on a consistent basis. I've been trying to get her on the podcast for months and then she hits me up one day and says she's ready to do the podcast. I'm glad she did. In the episode, we dive into her past, her weight loss journey and her new found mindset going into 2020. I had a lot of fun recording this episode with Kait and I hope you enjoy this episode as well.

      On this episode, this week’s guest is Danny (@danny_punx_life).

      Danny came recommended by previous guest Katelynn. I didn't know much about Danny before we recorded this episode. But from the few interactions we've had through DMs plus spending some time talking on the podcast, he's definitely a person that I like having in my corner. He's fought off a lot of struggles and has progressed through it all with positivity and love for a better life for himself as well as his family. Health is important to him and he's making it a priority.

      On this episode, this week’s guest is Tasha (@totaltashformation2020). 

      Tasha is one of the few people that I talk to on a almost daily basis. It wasn't always like that though.

Her weight loss journey is just getting started. After having to deal with a major back injury, Tasha is taking 2020 and making it her own.
