Do you know my mentor Martha??

Do you know my mentor Martha??
If you don’t, you totally should!! She is a heart centered Mama that went from broke alcoholic living in someone’s basement to making millions monthly.  Yes, monthly! And she’s showing us her students how she did it.  Another friend and mentor made $100k last year working Martha’s strategy and there are a ton more success stories.  She goes live on Youtube Monday through Friday at 7 am PST and I invite you to check her out.  

I’m currently working the strategy myself because ever since things started opening back up again after lockdown I realized just how much I enjoyed and preferred working from home.  Also getting a taste of being my own boss was exhilarating.  I’m convinced that we were not created to just work at a job during the day, pay bills and be burned out and too tired to enjoy time with our families.  I know my son is my motivation and reason for doing all the things. I want to spend more time with him and be present instead of feeling like a chicken with its head cut off from doing all the things in the hustle and bustle. 

Right now I’m putting the pieces together with Martha’s system and I’d like to invite you to join me if this sounds like something you’d like to do.  Her program Home Based Revolution is well worth over the price its at right now.  In fact it’s going up to $10k soon so I invite you to jump in now before the price increase happens.  Martha works with people in a variety of industries from nurses to stay at home moms to notary franchises and more. If you always wanted to be a business owner Martha is a great mentor to have to lead the way.  Even if you have no idea what you’d do for sales or anything even. Martha helps you find your people and then shows how you show up to serve them.  What I love about Martha is she over delivers every single time. She doesn’t just tell you what to do but she does the same thing herself and she’s super transparent and no fluff and all heart.  

Here's a video she did that explains more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnPx8VacJBc

I’d feel awful if I didn’t let you know about this amazing opportunity. Her mission is to create 1 million invincible families by 2026 and I’d love to be a part of this movement and create massive positive impact for our families and especially our kids.

Zumba May Have Saved My Life

Last week it was International Dance Day. I celebrated with a fun and spontaneous Zumba birthday party on YouTube to celebrate twenty years of Zumba. It was a ton of fun and totally unexpected. I couldn’t help but think about how I first got started with Zumba.  


My mom was the person that said I should try it out. My first class was on Valentines day in 2011. I invited a friend to meet me at the place and dance with me. I had no idea what to expect.   From my first class I was hooked. It was a great workout and the energy of the class was awesome.   Figuring out fancy footwork and choreography made me excited and happy. I learned how to samba, salsa, and more and felt free dancing.  Free from judgement and worry.


Every class gave me the chance to get out of my head and get my body moving.   No matter whatever stressful situation I was in whether it was relationship problems, work drama or school assignments and deadlines, I would put that outside of my mind for the hour and just let it loose and sweat it out. It was a huge stress reliever for me. The levels of stress and depression I felt was overwhelmingly scary at times. Panic and anxiety attacks were a daily thing.  I’m so happy and grateful I had a positive way to process and release some of the stress I was going through.


Zumba became a part of my weekly routine and went to at least 2 (if not 3 or 4) classes a week.  I made friends with the teachers and other people taking the class. Something about good music and good energy brings people together.  


I kept going even when I was pregnant with my son and continued after he was born.  Some of the ladies would carry or play with him when he was a baby baby so I could enjoy the few minutes of dancing before I’d have to go back to reality. .To this day,  Damian loves being around music and loves to dance. One of my favorite memories of him is when he was about two years old   He got up on the stage with the teacher Jenn, and danced with her in front of the entire class of over 30 people. It was so adorably sweet.


The thing that I love the most about dance is it's own language all on its own.  People from all over the world can feel the music even if they don’t understand the words.  You’d think I’d know Spanish by now! LOL When I let my guard down and move to the rhythm I can enjoy it more fully. When I relax and feel the music instead of worry about what I look like or compare myself to others I am more successful at nailing the steps and timing.  


I am soooooo very thankful for my Zumba family.  They have been a constant part of my life for over 10 years and I’m ready to keep dancing  and spreading good energy and love for many more years to come. 

My Story

 

Ever since I was a young child, I was always very moody.  Considered ultra sensitive, my anxiety was always through the roof.  As a young adult I got therapy and took prescription drugs which I thought would help.  I even had an as needed anxiety medication I had a panic attack.to keep on me just in case. I just wanted to feel like myself again.I tried different medication and therapists, hypnotherapy, whatever I could find.  When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I decided to stop all medications, even down to over the counter to protect my baby. I liked not taking a bunch of pills daily but I didn’t feel like I was getting any better.  Everyday I put on a face so everyone around me would believe everything was okay when I knew I clearly wasn’t. 


I always clung to a Higher Power for protection and guidance and my faith carried me through many years of uncertainty and very high stress. I was unhappy in my relationships, my job, and more. I felt like my whole life needed a makeover but I had no idea where to even start. One day this lady came into the store where I worked and she shared a new way of thinking.


Now I’m so much happier and feel a million times better overall. My faith in the Universe/Higher Power/God/Spirit grows more and more each day.I am working on my health and wellness and my life has changed drastically. I gained confidence in myself to leave bad relationships, left a job and found a better one (or two).  Most of all I see my dream life vision coming together slowly, yet surely. I’m so excited to help others do the same.I have an amazing support group of awesome women all working together to achieve our dreams. I see that the power of positivity and love is contagious and I’m happy I can share that with the world.  Of course I still have ups and downs but now I have tools to help myself and others that can relate.


Come join our group of amazing ladies all working together to build our dreams in a loving and high vibe atmosphere.
