๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ ๐:โฃ
You start to understand that there is an outside world and an inside world, which has a reality of its own.โฃ
You start to develop practices of forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, affirmations, etc.โฃ
You can change your world and bend your reality.โฃ

You start to understand you are not just existing but you can change the world.โฃ
This is the level of the visionary, people who shift and improve the world to make it better for everyone.โฃ

Each level is an awakening.โฃ
It's important to understandf these levels and that we can move up and down during the course of our lives.โฃ

โฃ
I love to show the beautiful parts of life that come with doing the inner work. There is so much growth, evolution,love & joy that comes from it.โฃ
โฃ
But at the same time, opening up about the feelings/experiences/traumas you've been suppressing for years... Is extremely painful & heavy. It doesn't feel safe.โฃ
โฃ
The emotions we've been suppressing, they are things we haven't wanted to think about, feel, or address. So when we open back up, we feel a rush of all the guilt, shame, hurt, pain. We feel unsafe, we feel defeated, we feel angry, sad, scared... you name it.โฃ
โฃ
But, know that once we address it, feel those feelings, talk about it & take action on how to move through them, learn from them, love them & be kind to them... That's where the growth happens. That's when we start to shed old versions of ourselves. When we start to feel the beauty, joy & love that this world has to offer.โฃ
โฃ
I share this with you because I am going through this journey with you. I want to be able to feel safe in my body. I am learning to trust my voice, my feelings & be sure of who I am.โฃ
โฃ
So, while this may be a heavy time for you.. I am right here with you & I know that there is so much beauty, love, growth, healing, peace & self-love/acceptance coming our way. Keep going, keep growing & let's keep doing the work together.

โฃ
WHY??!?! Ladies... Why do we say this about each other? I'm not going to lie, for a long time I participated in this type of behavior. Because I was deeply insecure. Because I wanted to fit in & be accepted. Because I was so unhappy with myself & envied other women who exuded confidence, got attention from men or was just completely jealous & felt threatened by them.โฃ
โฃ
I allowed my self-worth to be determined by friendships & men. It wasn't until I started coaching & finding the things that truly made me feel worthy, fulfilled & started focusing on my own growth, did I start to truly break that vicious cycle & understand that we are all human & all doing our very best. โฃ
โฃ
What if we lived in a world where we all could empower each other as women, lift each other up. Celebrate our strengths & acknowledge that most of us are feeling the same thing, but we may just be projecting them differently.โฃ
โฃ
What if we could collaborate & not compete with each other. This is what I preach in my community. My goal is to be your hype women. Lift you up & give you permission to own who you are. Be confident in yourself, your desires & your decisions. To help you (& myself) define our self-worth not from anyone else other than how WE see it ourselves.โฃ
โฃ
I want you to feel loved, supported & encouraged for your life & not feel like you're going to be teared down by another female. โฃ
โฃ
Let's make a pact together to support each other & not to compete, but to celebrate each other... It's a hell of a lot more fun that way!! If youโre interested in being apart of this community head to the link in my bio & fill out The Sweat Studio application!

Why is this business different from any other online business, or really most businesses in general?โฃ
โฃ
I look over at my bookshelf of incredible personal & professional development books, my journals, my affirmations, my vision boards, pictures of my team... And my answer is always, "This business requires you to be committed to your growth first before the income comes. It requires you to become a leader of your own life, which in turn creates a ripple effect for others to model". In order to become the leader I am today & the leader I am destined to be, I have to be committed to working on myself day in & day out, for the rest of my life.โฃ
โฃ
I've learned that this business & ultimately your life will only grow on how much YOU personally grow. This business is about health & wellness. It's about impact. It's about helping others use the tools & resources to be able to truly lead themselves.โฃ
โฃ
I get to share what helps me lead a better life in all aspects & I mentor others to be able to do the same & build their OWN online business.โฃ
โฃ
I fu***ng love what I do. I love leadership, I love building commuity, I love empowering others & inspiring them to understand that they are capable to living their best fu***ng life, the one life we have!!โฃ
โฃ
You have the power to go from fearful to hopeful, from worry to wonder, from anxious to excited, from caged to free. You just need to be committed to doing what lights up your life! If this post resonated with you, Iโm hosting a business opportunity call tonight at 8pm EST! DM me & Iโll send you the details!

โT๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ.. I ๐๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐ค๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐." As I lay in bed hungover, deeply regretting (not even remembering) my decisions from the night before. My boyfriend at the time & friend had to carry me home.
My life consisted of taking 30mg of adderall + caffeine daily, blacking out on the weekends (numbing the pain and emptiness I felt), a vicious cycle of under/over eating & numbing myself in TV after work.
Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. I realized I needed to make drastic changes in my life if I wanted a better future. So, I left a 4.5 year relationship. I left an entire social scene I spent years with, I left a job & started a new chapter of my life.
Once you open the door to wanting more for your life, you start to crave more change. So, I finally stopped taking adderall. The drug that controlled my life for 9 years. And Once I had the mental clarity I needed, I realized it was time to make an IMPACT.
A few months later I found a post on instagram about online coaching. For the first time in a LONG TIME, I was excited.. SCARED, but excited. Hopeful, but didn't feel "qualified", I had no entrepreneurial or social media experience.
And now, 3 years later:
I am the strongest, healthiest & most confident I've ever been. I've built a massive online business working for and ON myself & helping others do the same... All of this was possible because I TOOK THAT FIRST STEP. A step that scared the s**t out of me, but changed my life completely.
If this post resonated with you & are feeling stuck, unfulfilled with your current situation with no way out... I WANT TO HELP. I KNOW I CAN HELP. Send me a DM & Let's chat!

Holy s**t i'm exhausted. For 30 years I'd been living in a trans created by the pressures of society or "the norm" (of the bubble I was living in).โฃ
โฃ
The day I decided to say YES to coaching, was the day my mind & body wouldn't stop speaking to me.. "This can't be it for you Dee. Something must change''..I texted my now coach with so much fear saying.. "Alright, let's do this!! I need this!!"โฃ
โฃ
That day I realized I was going to CREATE my NEW normal. I was throwing away all the rules & creating my own. โฃ
โฃ
Let's stop looking at what the world wants from us & start looking at how WE WANT our world to look like. Let's stop looking outside of us & start looking at what's inside of us. Let's think about how we can create the most beautiful life we've ever imagined & let's work together to make our dreams a reality... You with me?!?โฃ

Join me this Thursday at 8pm EST, where I share my story, how I got started, what I do every day that breathes purpose and meaning into my life. I share how I built this massive biz on the side of my full time job because I made it my career, what it takes to live the life you've always wanted & how If I can do this.. SO CAN YOU!

It was a morning in March of 2018. I snoozed my alarm and decided to miss the workout class I paid $40 dollars for because I was "tired, lazy & drained from work". It was freezing outside & really, I was lost in the scroll of social media.. until I saw a photo. It was a photo of a girl I went to college with who shared that she was mirroring this workout on her TV and had found joy in working out in her living room & helping other women find joy in doing the same.โฃ
โฃ
And in that moment, she had something I didn't have.. PRIDE. And that pride was shining a light so bright on me; this defeated corporate recruiter, who was passionless, lazy, and unfulfilled... And that same photo was the one that changed my life.... because I let it.โฃ
โฃ
That same photo is a huge reason I keep showing up on social media; because if a girl can stop my scroll & help give me the tools to work on becoming a better ME... I believe like hell I can deliver those tools to other women who need it like I did. OVER & OVER again.โฃ
โฃ
We're consistently writing & rewriting the chapters of our lives. and that's OK. I failed my way to where I am today. And sometimes it just takes another human being shining their light so bright that it lights your path to stand up & put one foot in front of the otherโค๏ธ.โฃ
โฃ
Don't be afraid to ask for that light from others, or give them permission to shine their onto you!

3 years ago, I was barely making it "on time" to work. Wearing uncomfortable heels, skirts & blazers, trying to squeeze my lunch into the tine fridge, walking past the managers who disrespected me over and over. The bright neon lights gave me a headache every single day & i'd be sitting down in an uncomfortable chair in my cubicle comparing my life to everyone else on social media.โฃ
โฃ
I'd pay credit card bills, check my personal emails & take a bathroom break before I started because I was dreading the day.โฃ
โฃ
I hated this fu***ng job, but I needed it. What else was I supposed to do?โฃ
โฃ
Well, I just hosted a webinar over zoom where I show an inside look into what I do as a coach, how I got here & how you can do this alongside me. Because my life has & never will be the same.โฃ
โฃ
I had no clue that I could make sharing my health journey my "work", but here I am, almost 3 years later doing just that. On my own time, without having to ask if I can take a vacation, without fear of taking a lunch break, a walk, a mid- day shuffle break. โฃ
โฃ
There was a bigger calling for my life... Do you feel that way too? If you do.. let's chat!โฃ

Iโve been feeling it this week. Being pulled in many directions, routine being thrown off, the lack of โcontrolโ really gets the best of me sometimes. Itโs something Iโm working on, but Iโd be lying if I said it doesnโt get me stressed.โฃ
โฃ
My workouts, meditation, reading... these are the things that help me suit up & armor myself before the day takes its jabs at me. So, when I canโt do those things (especially before I start my day) it shifts my mood. I used to feel shame & guilt for feeling angry, frustrated, annoyed, out of sorts but honestly having off days is part of the journey. Itโs apart of life- weโve gotta allow ourselves to feel these things and realize they are just that FEELINGS/ EMOTIONS. They come and go. We arenโt not defined by them.โฃ
โฃ
Something Iโve been practicing is saying โI FEEL FRUSTRATEDโ Vs โI AM FRUSTRATEDโ. The power of I AM statements are huge, so being mindful of what you say after I AM and shifting it to I FEEL, gives these emotions much less power.โฃ
โฃ
But ultimately, finding outlets to help shift your mood: cook/bake, listen to your favorite podcast, your favorite song (I choose songs of gratitude to help me remember in those moments!), get some fresh air, join my community, sweat, get some fresh air, scream, call a friend, envision yourself in Costa Rica๐ด๐ด....โฃ
โฃ
Whatโs helping you when youโre feeling out of sorts???โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ

The average person wants to wait for someone else to motivate them.โฃ
โฃ
READ THAT AGAIN.โฃ
Most people WAIT!!โฃ
โฃ
Most people put their success in the hands of others!โฃ
โฃ
Most people don't take OWNERSHIP of their own attitude & actions!โฃ
โฃ
If we want change in our personal & professional life... Are we taking OWNERSHIP over our MOTIVATION & our ACTIONS?โฃ
โฃ
Meaning... Are you investing in your mindset every single day? Brandon & I made a pact that we are in bed by 10pm & waking up at 6:30am every single day, so we have time for our morning routine, which consists of meditation, reading, journaling. We are investing in starting our days off on the right foot with an OWNERSHIP attitude.โฃ
โฃ
Are you taking action towards what you want? If you want a different life, what activities are you doing today to achieve that different life?โฃ
โฃ
All change starts with small daily steps that add up to create change. If you are WAITING for someone else to give you opportunities, you are going to be waiting a long time.โฃ
โฃ
Bottom line, no one else is responsible for motivating you but YOU!โฃ
โฃ
The minute we take OWNERSHIP +ACTION towards what we really want, the minute our life will change!!!โฃ
โฃ
I challenge you to do this with me. Make investing in ourselves a priority. Start thinking about your own ways to motivate from within vs external factors.โฃ
โฃ
Donโt give your power away babe. You are worthy & capable of the change you desire!!โฃ
โฃ
What will you start doing to create the change you wish to see??

Our words matter. Choose them wisely.โฃ
โฃ
Our words can save someone.โฃ
Our words can break someone.โฃ
Our words can heal someone.โฃ
Our works can encourage someone.โฃ
And that "someone" might be you.โฃ
โฃ
Each of us holds that power. Talk kindly.
Who are you when no one is watching? What about when someone needs you? What about when you're looking in the mirror??โฃ
โฃ
Words matter. To others and yourself. Use them wisely.
