Share your story...become a Beachbody Coach!


Behind every pair of eyes is a life full of untold stories. ♡

I have people tell me all the time.....
"I wish I had your outlook..."
"I could never do what you do..."
"I am not fit enough to be a Coach.."

What I have to say is...

When I became a Coach I was pessimistic, a closed book, and completely unhealthy and out of shape. I was struggling ALL OVER the place! BUT this was the PERFECT time to start my journey as a Coach because...

NO ONE relates to perfection & sharing your hardships can be the key the unlocks someone else's prison. When you share your story not only does it help to heal you, but it can heal someone else too; and there is no greater reward than that!

Don't let your struggle become your identity, but let it be the driving force behind who you BECOME.

For some reason we have learned to create these perfectionist facades to present to the world despite what's really going on with us. All this does is creates a barrier for REAL communication with each other. Let's just be who we really are.

I am inspired by the UNDERDOGS. People who have suffered, people who have been pushed to their limits, people who could have given up but didn't. Does this sound like you? I want to hear YOUR story. I want YOU on my team. Life is a beautiful struggle, so we might as well do it together.

New Coach Mentorship



I am looking to E X P A N D my team; to build a Sisterhood of women who want more out of life; who are ready to commit & go ALL IN to get in the best shape of their lives and help others along their way.

I became a Coach 3 months ago because I felt like something was missing. I wanted something I was passionate about, something to call my own, something to get excited about!

I was at a point in my life where I felt...
▶unhealthy, physically & mentally
▶a loss of identity, passion & purpose
▶isolated & a longing for a sense of belonging; a community that accepted me for who I am- flaws, quirks & all.

I searched & searched for a solution until I stumbled upon Coaching. I went back & forth for a couple weeks (I am very thorough before I commit to ANYTHING), but something kept telling me to GO FOR IT. It just felt right. So I went ALL IN. I joined my first ever 21 Day Fitness Challenge & completed my 21 Day Coach Training at the same time. I fell in love instantly. I finally found something that felt like it was made for me.

I now have passion, purpose, positivity & goals! I belong to a community of AMAZING people; the Dynasty United FAMILY! ♡

Not only do I get to be inspired by incredible women transforming their lives and their health DAILY, but it also keeps me accountable for my own fitness.

ANYONE can be a Coach as long as you have...
✔A passion for helping others
✔A love for health & fitness 

✔self-motivation & a drive to succeed

I am looking for REAL women who want to get in shape, live healthy, FULL lives and share their story along the way in hopes of inspiring others. It's that simple.

The Importance of Personal Development


I remember when I didn't believe in Personal Development because I didn't believe in myself.  I thought "What is the point of reading ways to improve myself when I'll never have a reason to put it to use." Those thoughts couldn't be more self-condemning. 

A year ago I went through a "rough patch" and I was looking for something, anything, to pull me out of my rut. I began reading. I hadn't read since I was in school. The book was Become A Better You by Joel Olsteen.  This book was the starting point to my journey to a positive more fulfilling outlook. I felt hopeful again and continued reading for a few months, gaining a newer and brighter prospective for my future.

I eventually became busy with life and although I didn't forget what I had learnt, I didn't go back to where I was prior, but I didn't keep progressing. I stopped reading for while. My personal development was put on pause.


 Months later  when became a Beachbody Coach my Mentor instilled in me the importance of Personal Development. She taught me how important it is to keep learning, to keep growing and developing ourselves so we can be the best versions of ourselves; and she of course set an amazing example. 

I began reading again; everyday, sometimes, twice a day. My routine is to wake up, have my coffee and read my daily devotional and I am currently working through The Passion Translation,  Proverbs; Wisdom From Above.  The Bible is a great source of Personal Development. At night time I usually read another choice of PD Book.

Daily personal development has given me a sense direction. I know what I want to achieve in life, whereas before I didn't have a clue (and had no drive to even figure it out!).   I am so thankful for this nudge from God for me to continue on this path. It has become a part of my daily routine, and a part of my day I really enjoy. I feel motivated, focused and most importantly more self-aware. I feel as if I am greater prepared for when times do get tough or a challenge arises. Everyday I am developing new skills and attributes that help me deal with stress and overcome obstacles. 

 (My daughter says she loves to read "...just like mom.")
There are various avenues to go about it, my favorite is obviously to read. Read a book, watch a video, take a class. You choose. Take time and invest in yourself. You are your greatest resource.

Week 1 Review of 21 Day Fix Extreme

 Week 1 of 21 Day Fix Extreme complete & feeling amazing!  I am more energized than ever and am seeing results already.  Above are my photos from day one. My goal for this Challenge is to maintain my weight, but gain strength and muscle definition. I prefer to only weigh myself and take photos on Day 1 and on Day 21.

Before I started the Challenge I went and purchased some workout clothes as my motivation.  I knew this Challenge was going to be my toughest one yet.  I knew I would be pushing myself out of my comfort zone to get the results I want, so I needed all the motivation I can get (outside of the Challenge Group that is)  New clothes always help!  Plus these were all on sale 50-70% off, so it was a win-win! (#frugalmom)



 I always shied away from meal plans before because I absolutely detest feeling deprived and hungry.  I thought I would give it a try because I wanted to maintain my weight, not lose and wanted to make sure I was eating enough.  To be completely honest there are some days I struggle to fit everything in that I am supposed to eat because it feels like so much food! (which I don't mind!)  I love the color coded meal planning containers! I love the flexibility and the simple meal planning. Below are just some of the things I ate over the last week that I remembered to snap pictures of! I also  liked that I was able to eat what every one else did most days (did not have to cook separate meals) All I needed to do was portion out to see how many containers I was eating to track each food group. 



Cucumbers with Avocado & salsa (guacamole the easy way) with a dash of grey sea salt, prepper and apple cider vinegar.




Broccoli slaw in place of pasta, grilled chicken breast, organic diced tomatoes (this should have been green not purple as I confused it with salsa=purple) skim mozzarella cheese and italian herbs and minced garlic



Veggie/Egg Scramble (I love veggies so there is more veggies than eggs here!) made with a little mexican hot sauce for some added flavor!

This is my new way to have my Shakeology because I LOVE these! Sometimes I even have them twice a day! click HERE for the recipe. 





I use my trusty Shakeology Shaker Cup to measure my water for the day.  According to my body weight I need to drink one of these a day (25 oz) Plus I drink about 4-6 cups of organic herbal tea to get the rest of my water intake (tea addict here!)

For my first two Challenges I used Piyo because I love yoga and pilates. For this Challenge however I wanted to step it up a notch to really get some great muscle definition, in a shorter amount of time.  Although the first week I definitely struggled with the workouts (sometimes I have to resort to the modifier before the set is done) I can see the results already and I feel so great once the workout is done. I have been sore everyday, so I not only can I see the results I can feel them too! I am sore, but not too sore, if that makes sense?  I really enjoy the workouts because I feel like the 30 mins is used to the absolute max, working as much as possible.  Something about them just makes you feel empowered! 



Week 1's a wrap! I am totally into this 21 Day Fix Extreme and although I was a little nervous at first I am completely happy I took the plunge and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!" 
Bring it on Week 2!
Goals for this week: To finish out all the sets without switching over to the modifier!

Of course all of this is made so much easier (and enjoyable!) because of the support of all the wonderful women, coaches & challengers that I get to share this journey with everyday!

Shakeology Brownies


I have found my new favorite way to have my Shakeology!
Not only were these absolutely delicious & tasted like a gooey, chocolatey, sinful treat, they were extremely quick & easy to make!
One serving is what you see above (plus one more about half the size of the rest that I test-tasted)
21 Day Fix Approved- 1 Tsp + 1 Red
I used 1 scoop of Chocolate Vegan Shakeology, 1 tsp melted coconut oil & a little bit of almond milk and a little bit of water to mix until able to mold (you can use just water if you prefer) 
I also used a dash of pure peppermint extract because I love mint chocolate. You can replace with a flavored extract of your choice.
