Truth time. I’m all up in my feels tonight about how far I’ve come personally and professionally.
This Sunday will be the first time I’ve had classes in March since 2021. I usually take a break from mid-February through April 1, a choice I made back in 2021 when I decided to become a gypsy. That season ended, and a new one began. One where it was time to figure out who I was as an instructor, leader and human. A season to get really clear on the space I wanted to create, the energy I wanted to bring and the community I wanted to build.
The time and space to get clear and live in alignment with my vision of being a holistic and all-encompassing wellness coach, in addition to being a certified fitness instructor, with the ultimate goal of creating and building my own studio.
Education is so important to me. Designations mean you have put in the work and have the knowledge necessary to perform your job and the responsibilities that accompany that. So, I spent time earning my Rev + Flow certification in 2022. I also started my health coaching and behavior change certification that fall.
Which has been a work in progress for the past three years because, well, I’m being brutally honest in this post, might as well continue 
life kicked the 
out of me for a while. Some of you know that, and for some that might be a total surprise as this space is always so “positive”. Yes, yes it is. On purpose and with purpose. I have never denied that life completely and utterly sucks sometimes and that there is pain and shame and frustration. The difference is I CHOOSE to continue on with joy and gratitude anyway. You can have a bad day, week, month or year, as in my case and not let it alter who you are at your core or who you want to be.
So, for all the reasons, the health coaching certification took a back burner until I could mentally and emotionally deal with my own junk.
I’m happy to report I’ve dug my way through the blocks that were holding me back and I made SO much progress on my cert in 2024.
Is it a coincidence that the universe aligned and I now have a space to continue teaching classes through months when I would have previously had to take a break? Or that at this exact moment last year I was teaching ZERO classes and today I am teaching 2x a week?
No. Coincidences don’t exist.
You create your reality.
This is manifestation + alignment working for me in full force. I did the work. And I have been rewarded.
And this post is a continuation of that.
It’s me verbally calling out to the universe what I want, affirming it, practicing gratitude and continuing to align my actions accordingly.
So, when I finished my exam today and realized just how close I am to completing my cert, I came home to practice for class and get my bags ready, then saw this FB memory of me NOT teaching on Sunday mornings… I literally had a moment of “you did it.”
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
But for real, to each of you who have been on this journey with me, in this community, at classes or in this group, who have made it possible for me to do what I love and continue to work to create the space, energy, vibe, community and connection I know is possible. Thank you. Okay, I’m literally in tears, so I have to go.
Massive love crew. I mean it more than you’ll ever know.
