Growth Requires Change

Seven years ago, I decided once and for all that I was DONE being fat and unhealthy, but really it was just about the weight. Or so I thought.?
I started working out and eating healthy, and it started working. This wasn’t my first rodeo with fitness and weight loss. I had tried just about everything and it all worked until I stopped doing it and I didn’t like any of it so of course I eventually stopped doing it.?
But something was different this time and it wasn’t just the workouts, although enjoying them and having fun with movement made a big difference. The real change was happening on the inside and had been happening inside for 5+ years prior to that when I started doing 15 minutes of personal development every day.
The journey that followed was an unexpected one that ultimately led to helping 60+ men and women start their own health journies, changed the health of my entire family, and made me a better wife, mom, friend, daughter and leader.?
And while a big piece of that journey is changing with the new BODi affiliate opportunity, that commitment to personal development and my overall health - mind, body and spirit has not changed.
Ruth Graham said she wanted her tombstone to read “End of construction. " Thank you for your patience.” She didn’t want to stop growing until her time here on earth was over. I love that and I choose to embody that.
I believe that to become our best selves and live our best lives, we must continue to grow.
And here’s the thing, growth requires change but change doesn’t require growth. Funny how that works, but when change happens, you can choose the path that requires growth or you can choose the easy, comfortable path where growth isn’t required.?
I’ve given myself some time to figure out what’s next and the truth is, I still don’t really know. What I do know is that whatever it is will require the next version of me. It will require me to continue growing in all areas of my life.?

So for now, the next thing is continuing the personal development I’ve been doing for the past 10+ years. I’ve decided to become a Growth Day Ambassador and join The Growth Collective of other leaders inspiring each other to make growth a way of life.? And as always, everything is more fun with friends, so I’d like to invite you to join me.?
I know we are entering the holidays and a season of stress for many of us, which also turns into a season of falling back into old habits, slacking on our good habits and losing focus on the bigger goals we are pursuing. This makes it the perfect time for a Masterclass with some of the world’s experts on Focus and Discipline.?
Starting November 4, I’m joining the Masterclass with my Growth Collective and running a focus group. If you want to achieve your goals faster than you ever thought possible, this class and group are for you!?
This series will help you harness the power of your body's chemistry to enhance focus, define boundaries that amplify your intention, tap into your physical power to optimize performance where it matters most and cultivate meaningful relationships with a shared vision.
