You know what’s really freakin cool? Watching your friends find something that absolutely just lights them up. . @tofferlewis and I went to middle school and high school together and it’s probably been 10+ years since we’ve really connected. Of course you can watch someone’s life evolve through social media and be “connected” through random likes and comments but pointed conversation is 1000% different. So I was pleasantly surprised to open up a Facebook message from asking if I had a moment to chat; he had heard through a mutual friend (@justinstones 😉😚) that I was doing well and he wanted to pick my brain. At the time Chris was fresh out of the Navy and was looking for a passion project to pursue. . After a 2+ hour skype conversation on Tuesday, it’s safe to say he found what he was looking for. Chris is passionate about connecting people and showcasing their skills or businesses and I had the pleasure of being conversation #4 on his YouTube channel. We chatted about how I became an entrepreneur, what happens behind the scenes and what cool stuff my team and I are working on for the future. I’ll link the conversation in my bio, go give it a listen, a thumbs up or a follow! Happy Thursday y’all! . #manicuredmeatheads #tribe #entrpreneurship #girlboss #youtube #passionproject #connection #crossfit (at CrossFit North Phoenix)

Have you figured out your ‘why’ yet? Like really sat down and dedicated time and energy to figuring out what drives you; what your bigger purpose is? I know, I know, it’s a big question however, it’s an important one to have an answer to. . I own a Crossfit gym so my title over the last few years has shifted from student to business owner but even more importantly, I’m a health and wellness coach. . Your health and wellness encompass so much more than simply getting in a good workout and being physically fit and my why has become teaching people to experience total freedom in ALL of those areas; physical, mental, spiritual, financial, environmental, emotional and social. Because honestly, if you’re out of whack in one of those areas, more than likely it’s not the only area you’re out of whack. . Pictured with me is one of many new mommas that I have in the gym and her precious babe, Noelle. They’re both my why as I want them to be able to experience life to the fullest in all of the facets listed above. . You’re meant for more, we all are, so again, what’s your why? Happy Saturday y’all! . #manicuredmeatheads #girlbosses #whatsyourwhy #pillarsofhealth #health #wellness #joblove #entrepreneurship (at CrossFit North Phoenix)

What type of activities help you fill your cup? . The purpose behind starting the concept that is #manicuredmeatheads was to inspire and connect like minded women. I’m a hardworking entrepreneur who’s working everyday to change people’s lives including my own and I’ve always wanted this page to serve as inspiration for women forging down that same path. . I think it’s important to share ideas around what helps make us successful so that others might be able to take a page from our book, pun totally intended, and use it towards their success. Those activities we engage in that help keep us aligned with what our true purpose really is. . I’ve found one of mine to be continuing education (and puppy snuggles) in the form of audiobooks and podcasts but my all time favorite way to fill up my cup is with a good old fashioned book. Tonight’s read will be a couple of chapters from The Go-Giver thanks to the one and only @lovelindsfit. .

#transformationtuesday coming in hot 🔥🔥🔥 There’s roughly 10 years between these two photos and my oh my so👏🏼much👏🏼has👏🏼changed👏🏼For starters, I don’t pose like that for pictures anymore, unless of course it’s to make fun of myself. Why that was a go to pose for me, I’ll never know. I’m a lot less tan and a lot more tattooed. I let my luscious locks grow out and clearly I discovered what the inside of a gym looks like 😳💪🏼 . My biggest transformation though has nothing to do with the physical changes you see in the two photos. The biggest transformation I’ve had in the last ten years has happened between my ears. It’s funny how when you’re 21 years old, the thought of growing up and getting older is terrifying. However, now that I’m in my 30’s, I wouldn’t go back to being 21 if someone paid me. . I’ve learned so much about life and myself in that time that the girl on the left doesn’t hold a candle to girl on the right, even though the girl on the left thought she was the best thing since sliced bread 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 . My point is, that there are lots of transformations we can go through in our lifetime, don’t let the physical ones be the only ones you’re concerned about. Happy Tuesday y’all!

I love this idea. Maybe even a little more than I should but I’ve spent a lot of time fumble fucking around trying to figure out my purpose in this life. My conclusion, serving and supporting others brings me more joy than simply thinking that I should only be looking out for #1. Thanks for posting this today @kimberly717, it hit me right in the feels. #isupportyou #andyou #andyou ・・・ #Repost @kimberly717 with @get_repost ・・・ Who’s in-?! 🙋🏼‍♀️I’m in! I’ll support the sh*t outta you😄💁🏼‍♀️ Now go GET AFTER your Monday 😎💪🏼 #community #business #bossbabe #support #success #slay #businesswarmingparty (at CrossFit North Phoenix)

The single worst sight after leg day; the dreaded flight of stairs. They are quite symbolic though of the day/week/month ahead wouldn’t you agree? . That climb, maybe it’s just physical for you and simply conquering those 20 stairs is the victory however, I would be willing to bet there’s a lot more places in your life where you have to “make the climb”. . The choice is obviously yours, are you going to start moving up them or are you going to stay at the bottom? Happy Monday y’all. . #foodforthought #mondaymotivation #manicuredmeatheads #findyourpurpose #ascend (at CrossFit North Phoenix)

To every beautiful, strong woman who has stood up for what she believes in even in the face of doubt & criticism, who fiercely supports her fellow sisters and shares her love and determination unconditionally, you’ve helped pave the way and we are grateful to know you.

The one relationship that’s always worth working on is the one you have with yourself. In a world where we’re always plugged in, give yourself permission to tune out the noise and be okay with it knowing that the end result will be well worth it. What’s the end result? A stronger relationship with number one. ... #manicuredmeatheads #mmtribe #girlbosses #entrepreneurship #crossfit #fitness #exercise #health #wellness #balance #cnp #fsi #joblove #gymlove #girlswholift #fitchicks (at Phoenix, Arizona)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on here and I’ll get into my why here shortly. For those of you who have noticed the absence and reached out to make sure everything was okay or just to say you missed our posts, thank you🙏🏼the community that’s formed while growing a social media account is truly the best part. ... 2017 was a very good year, in all honesty probably the best year to date. It was full of growth both personally and professionally, partnerships were made, lasting friendships were formed, great ideas were executed on; all in all it was a year to look back and be proud of. ... 2018 hasn’t exactly had the same feel, quite the opposite actually. Trials and tribulations have popped up around seemingly every corner and frustrations have been at an all time high. I realize that this is life’s way of testing my dedication to reaching all the lofty goals I have set for myself, evening the playing field so to speak. ... Unfortunately while working through the downturn and prioritizing what was important and what was not, something had to take a backseat and that something was this. I am happy to report that slowly but surely, things are looking up and I’m dedicated to being more consistent about posting the good, the bad and the ugly because all of those things are part of what it takes to make it as an entrepreneur. ... On that note, happiest of Mondays, happy to be back! #manicuredmeatheads #mmtribe #girlbosses #entrepreneurship #crossfit #fitness #exercise #health #wellness #balance #cnp #fsi #joblove #gymlove #girlswholift #fitchicks (at CrossFit North Phoenix)

Be so good, they can’t ignore you. Be so good, they want to know your secrets. Be so good, they want to be a part of the empire you’re building 🙌🏼 . . Fantastic end to an even better weekend, thanks @chriswharder for the send off and to all the other amazing speakers that shared nuggets, motivation and insight. @petajean_ thank you for sharing your heart and soul, listening to your truth had a profound impact on me and for that I’m forever grateful 🙏🏼 . . It pays to surround yourself with and learn from people who know more than you do. Always keep people in your circle who know the greatness you’re capable of and push you to get there, thanks for making sure I was a part of this @lovelindsfit 😘 (at Phoenix Convention Center)

A very consistent plot twist 🙈😂 (at Phoenix Convention Center)

Nothing like a little volunteer work to put things into perspective. I’m not saying that my problems aren’t real problems or that I shouldn’t be stressed out by the things I’m stressed out by however, a little perspective goes a long way. There is always someone who is worse for wear. . . Not everyone can afford to donate money so if you’re looking for a place to donate your time @stmarysfoodbank is running an incredible operation, feeding hundreds of people per day and they need every single volunteer they can get. If you’re in the Phoenix area, check them out. If you’re not, the city you’re in has a similar operation, a few hours of your time means so much more than that to the people you’re helping. #giveback (at St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance)

Sometimes it’s hard as f*ck to stay positive even if what’s going on in and around your life is by all intents and purposes, pretty positive. For instance, I consider myself to be a pretty stinkin positive person however, over the last few days, I’ve had a rough go at things mentally and it’s definitely taken a toll. . . It’s at times like these, when I’m feeling so much pressure, that I enjoy my ability to workout the most; it allows me the space to quite my mind and figure out what’s really going on. . . So, what’s really going on? Well my best guess is that I’m uncomfortable due to some growth and expansion. Our minds have a way of working against us in times of change because well, stepping outside of the all too familiar comfort zone is scary. This is where you have to decide whether to level up despite how you’re feeling or stay put where you are. And as much as I’m resisting it now, I’m choosing the former because I know it’s the best decision for me. #growthroughit (at CrossFit North Phoenix)
