Something I believe all women who become a Mom experience is a feeling of “lost identity.” Moms are the best at putting their families needs before their own and before you know it, the grandkids are running through the door!
I was heading down that all too common path and a overwhelming feeling of needing more was overpowering me.
At 45 years old I owned 2 salons and my husband and I were raising 2 amazing teenagers. I was a Massage Therapist for 20 years, owned and operated 2 salons for 10 years and I was feeling completely lost on my true identity.
My 14 year old son said something to me that resonated so deeply that it changed the course of my universe in what seemed to be overnight! My son Jack said, “Mom, I heard you “used” to be a great athlete.”
He was right, but at 45 years old I had walked away from those dreams and passions of becoming a Pro Athlete.
Long story short. I sold my salons and opened up 2 gyms. I reinvested in myself and others and got on a mission to show, NOT PREACH, to my kids exactly what and who their true Mother is!!
Natural Bodybuilding is a sport with absolutely no age limits. It’s training is smarter not harder on the body and because of the opportunity that the NANBF, The IPE and all it’s promoters, I am the Champion outside my family as well!!!
I have made my family proud. I feel better now at 49 years old than I have ever felt in my life and I get to share that with my clients every day as their coach.
I am also forever grateful for my coach, Aaron Callister for 3 years of having my back and teaching me something great every week! For John and Becky Arnold, NANBF and IPE International for providing a platform and sport that I respect and I am so very proud to represent!!
