Who inspires you to be your most empowered self?
Is it your #wcw, boss, teacher, partner? How do they empower you? Now think about how you can start empowering others!

My children inspire me the most-to be my best self. 6.5 years ago after I had my son I was very obese. I was unhappy and very unhealthy. I couldn’t get up and down or walk around very good to play with my 2 boys. I was in a lot of pain as well, which after going to the doctor, I found out I was misdiagnosed for almost 10 years with gallbladder stones. After my gallbladder surgery I was finally able to walk around without pain so I started doing short home workouts and walking at home. I wanted to lose weight and be healthy and happy again for my family. I was able to lose almost 100 pounds in the first 3 years!

To this day they are still the ones who inspire me to be better and to eat better. They are always watching me and looking to me as the example. I now have a 15 year old and 6.5 year old boy who are very active and who love to workout with me. We love to stay active as a family!
