Their Battle, Mentally Or Physically, They Fought And Came Out A Warrior:
One of her hardest battles was her weight gain in college.

She wants to help empower others to become comfortable in their own skin by the food they eat, clothes they wear, and active lifestyle they live.

What Being A Warrior Means To Them:
Getting through it and not giving up.
Their Greatest Life Lesson Learned:
As a naturally positive person, she plays the Glad Game from Pollyanna, which teaches her the value of appreciating what you have. She takes time to be grateful for all the lessons she has learned, friendships she has created, and love that is around her.
Growing up I heard the Jim Rohn quote, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” but never meant anything to me until I fell into the “bad crowd” growing up and starting making dumb decisions I ended up regretting later. After high school,l I had to learn how to make new friends and how to create my own Circle of Awesome. A Circle of Awesome is a group of friends that love you , support you, care for you and so much more!! Creating a Circle of Awesome is important for so many reasons! We all need to feel connected, loved, and supported and the more we do the happier you are and the more we will accomplish.
In this episode, I go over the power of creating a Circle of Awesome and ask you some tough questions about the 5 people you hang out with the most.
