Live Your Truth Women, Fitness Coaching
Courage, Believe, Achieve
(self-authored mantra)
Why did you start your business?
Live Your Truth Women Fitness Coaching was the spinoff from my thriving business, ACHIEVE Multisport Coaching & Personal Training, where I spent 28 years successfully training thousands of men & women to achieve fitness goals ranging from weight loss to racing Ironman Triathlons.
LYTW was created to empower midlife women and beyond to be fit and feel fabulous. Forever. It's so easy to get bogged down with.. well, life. Women tend to deprioritize their own health & fitness needs in lieu of family, friends, work, and so much more. And on top of that, our bodies are changing due to hormones and stress. I teach women how to fit in fitness. How to maximize workouts for optimal results. How to get physically stronger because I know it builds confidence, resilience, and well-being in all areas of life. Fitness is the key to living happy, to living your truth.
Biggest Achievement so far.....
So far... what a great caveat.
On my 40th birthday, I completed my 40th marathon.
Then on my 50th birthday, I completed my first 50K.
On my 60th birthday.... well, I'll let you know in 10 years. But guaranteed it'll be BIG!

Greatest Lesson Learned....
In my 50 years alive experience, both personally and professionally, I can unequivocally say, women who exercise with other women are happier, healthier, and more successful.
When you workout with women, whether she's a coach or a training partner, something amazing happens. You stop saying what you can't do, and you start focusing on what you can do. You stop making excuses and you start making goals.
You learn your mindset can be your kryptonite or your super power.
You learn super powers are magnified when you work as a team.
Person, Place or Thing that inspires you
I'm most inspired by the "everyday woman" who proves her extra-ordinariness by courageously continuing to GO FOR IT. No matter what the challenge, she proceeds with persistence and passion. That is oldest person to hold the Guinness book of world records in powerlifting (a 100 years alive woman), it's the empty nest mother of 4 who passed the academy physical tests to become a policewoman, and it's my Grandma who did her first 5K at age 86. It's you. It's me. It's every woman.
Words to Foster others....
Surround yourself with positive people.
Do more of what you love.
Try new things.
Never stop.
