to find those 1 or 2 things and really
hone those skills. Learning never
exhausts the mind.

didn’t know what I
wanted to be when
I “grew up”. In fact, I didn’t
find my current passion

had never even considered
health and fitness, jeez I
couldn’t even run around

But it was a passion I stumbled
across, that just happened to grow
into a vocation that I really enjoy.
Fast-forward 20 years and here I
am, fully immersed and happy in
my career but also in a particularly
unique and fortunate situation. I

myself and my business partner/
husband, we have dug ourselves a
little niche market that we enjoy, we

partners since we met, but the
reason we make such a great team
is that we excel at different things.

happen to really compliment each
