A typical day in my life includes…
STARBUCKS!! 😉 Back to back to back phone calls, emails, running the kids around to their activities, squeezing in a workout, and hopefully have time to brush my teeth LOL.
I was born…
in Flagstaff, AZ on March 28, 1982.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
is the beautiful sunsets AND the extreme heat (believe it or not)! I don’t do well in the cold. And of course, the fact that my family is here. This is my home. I will never leave permanently. Mark. My. Words.
I’m listening to…
my kids screaming and fighting most of the time. Or conference call after conference call. Not a whole lot or music or podcasting going on, but when I do: Lewis Howes is the man of all podcasts…and Sam Hunt, Imagine Dragons, Boyce Avenue, Thomas Rhett…anything super sappy ;).
My family…
is my world. They are almost too good to be true, to be honest. From my kids, to my parents, to my siblings. Really. It’s crazy.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
myself. Alone. Because I get no peace and quiet in my life. In fact, I would pay for this.
One thing I cannot live without…
oh c’mon. I have to pick one thing? I have a few: Family, Starbucks, iPhone, flip flops, extensions.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an orthopedic surgeon for the Phoenix Suns. Until I realized all the schooling that would take.
I’m inspired by…
a handful of people: Chris (my husband), Whitney Jones (super mom/business woman/fitness idol), Kacey Luvi (just a good, solid, beautiful human being inside and out), The Rock (how he has created so much, and devotes so much to his fans is just incredible to me), my mom (she is everything), and my family (they are why I do what I do).
The one person who motivates me is…
all of the above.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
nothing actually. I am a firm believer that all things are what they are for a reason. The good, the bad, and the ugly. If I changed one thing in an unnatural way, I worry it would be the Butterfly Effect! I guess I could have answered and said, “ME”…because really by changing/controlling me I can change/control anything I want.
The perfect day would be…
every day IS the perfect day. Some days are harder than others, but honestly I love life just the way it is. Even days that Chris and I fight, or I might not succeed as I would like. All of these days are perfect in that they lead to who I am now, where I am at, and ultimately who I want to be and where I want to go.
My first job was…
balancing my grandmas checkbook when I was 10! I have always loved numbers, and she would pay me $5 an hour to help her out!
My favorite escape…
two places: Home (because it’s safe, and I am surrounded by the people I love), and the Four Seasons. There is one near us that allows us to get away without going too far (because I love home and AZ), and they treat us so kindly there. I love them.
My life…
is better than I ever imagined it would be. I am blessed.
I’m currently working on…
too many things at once. But if I wasn’t, I would be unhappy. I thrive on stress and an overflowing plate. We launched our app, TRANSFORM with Chris and Heidi in March 2017 – which has over 150,000 downloads (surprisingly!), and recently launched our Fresh by TRANSFORM ready meal (fresh, never frozen and 100% all natural, delivered to your doorstep for FREE). Up next, Chris and I are creating a supplement line and some educational tools to literally take away EVERY excuse anyone could ever have for NOT being able to transform their lives. That’s our goal. TRANSFORMation for EVERY BODY!
Always…
love unconditionally.
Never…
judge.
Favorite Quote…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson
Biggest Dream…
I am living them. Honestly. And they are dreams I never knew I even had. From here…I want my kids to live the fullest happiest lives they could ever dream of.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
Chris rushing me to get out the door!!!! Just give me 5 more minutes, already (said every girl alive).
