hey, I’m Jessie!
I’ve been in the health and fitness space for about 15 years now.
It started with me working out in the mornings before school so I was ready for track season, and then it just grew from there! And what a ride it has been.
Since wanting to share my love for fitness, I’ve been a personal trainer, group fitness coach, online health coach, I wrote and published 3 journals, spoke at events and submitted a few articles for a local magazine.
But along the way, I got distracted and lost the fun of it. And in all honestly, found the wrong people that told me charging thousands of dollars for coaching was ok.
Looking back, that’s not how I feel anymore, and never did. In a way, this is my apology for doing that. No one ever hired me at that price point (understandable, and thankfully), but I lost so much potential to help others.
So that’s my goal now, while also healing myself.
Not sure when you’re finding me on your own health and fitness journey, but I was pulled into the hustle, no days off, work when you’re sick and never give up.
And don’t get me wrong, that’s a good approach to life TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.
I took it too far, punished myself with fitness and food, got to a terrible spot mentally and had to unlearn it all to find balance. It’s taken a bit of time to do it, but I’m at a spot where it’s not just committing it to memory. I still have days where I spiral, wonder if life’s worth it anymore, but then can jump back in a day or so.
Life is hard and doesn’t come with a great manual. There’s the ideal way to do life, but very few ever get to see it happen. So this is my take two.
I didn’t get it all figured out by 25, and I’m learning to be ok with it. My goal with this blog is to constantly choose myself.
I’m not a failure.
I don’t need to just give up.
There’s still plenty of time left.
And I really do want to see how my story will play out. I want to be present for it and now just keep waiting for the “one day”.
Thanks for being here and I hope to share as much helpful information as possible!
Can’t wait to share this journey with you! Check out the latest blog posts I have.
