My perspective as a coach 🫶

❤️ Theirs a couple places I go and walk out feeling better and lighter. The 1st is church. The second is the gym.

It’s more than just completing another rep. It goes deeper than that. I’ve spent years in the gym training other people and training myself. It’s fair to say most people are fighting a battle you know nothing about.

⭕️ I’ve been able to see a depressed person walk out stronger and more motivated

⭕️ I’ve been able to see a mom who has had no time for herself make herself a priority again

⭕️ I’ve seen the girl who was scared to lift in front of people absolutely destroying weights

⭕️ I’ve seen people over come eating disorders and learn that food is fuel

⭕️ I’ve seen people fighting addiction

⭕️ I’ve seen people grieving

⭕️ I’ve seen people after a break up get their power back

⭕️ I’ve seen a nurse after a 12 hour shift when she gave everything to everyone else and still put in work

⭕️ I’ve seen a man come off of medication he thought he would spend the rest of his life on

⭕️ I’ve seen people learn to feel strong instead of chasing skinny

⭕️ Its place to grow and work on yourself

It doesn’t seem like a lot, but I take that seriously so thank you for trusting me to help you grow and learn 🙏 I don’t take it lightly

😘 Xoxo from someone who is a mom, has been a military wife and has fought battles in the gym

💨 But there was a time when Ball was life 🫶 Though sports come and go. The lessons and resilience carry on. My love for Fitness comes from a place of loving sports growing up. It’s made me stronger and helped shaped me into who I am today. I’m so thankful for sports and Fitness as they have helped me stay grounded with whatever life has thrown at me. So yes Fitness is more than a workout. It’s going to change your life.

If I wanted to work on my nervous system throughout the day. Here’s what I would do ⬇️
🌺 swipe to see things you can add daily. Most likely you’re doing most of these things, but not being intentional. First of all stop rushing everything you do. If you have been rushing all day, slow down enjoy a shower or eating a meal slowly 🫶

📎 As you know I’m a bit of an open book on my health. It has allowed me to coach better and also relate to those walking through seasons and also giving any fitness advice along the way that may be helpful.

First I want to remind you to advocate for your health, because nobody is going to do it for you. I already have celiac disease as most know. Anyways for the last couple years things have been a bit off. One of those things greatly affecting me is my cycle and shifting hormones. I am 41, so blaming it on perimenopause seemed to be the answer, but bleeding through clothing pads and tampons along with clotting fatigue and a lot of cramps and discomfort seemed like this can’t all be normal. So ultrasounds were done and we found a very alarming thickened endometriosis lining, fibroids, and adenomyosis. We were unsure also of a polyp. So I went in for a hysteroscopy where they did find a polyp to remove and scrape the lining.
