Pulled out a ford, ditched our front bumper & Cody said my outfit was cute 😂 the guys were making jokes about not knowing I was wearing a beanie because of my hair — yea, def a natural cone head #smartasses 💁🏼♀️ I like hanging out with the dudes, they crack me up, inappropriate humor, everybody gives each other shit #withlove & nobody takes any of it personally #myvibe - def not the worst last min wheelin’ sesh especially since california decided to sneak a day of summer in winter 😏 def don’t miss weekday adventure FOMO life and saying, “can’t go, sorry, have to work” so then there’s that 🤘🏼
10years married today! 🤯 We were YOUNG. Everyone seemed really scared for us 🤷🏼♀️ Some “friends” & family even tried to throw judgment our way by verbally protesting our decision with lists of reasons NOT to.. Nobody thought we would make it.. #diditanyways⠀
⠀
We got married at a charming blue & white trim Victorian bed & breakfast that was up on a hill. We had a very small ceremony, I’m talking like 15 people.. ( #introvertlife )😂 I think having the pressure of too many eyes watching me would have taken away from MY experience.⠀
⠀
Cody and I got ready TOGETHER in our b&b suite. I’ll never forget the looks on faces about the wedding dress I chose; a short black and white abstract dress from forever 21. I loved it.⠀
⠀
I didn’t walk down an aisle or even have any “wedding songs”. We looked at each other and said “you ready?! K let’s go” and went and stood in the middle of a gazebo while our friend gave a heartfelt speech, read us our vows and then married us. (Cody cried and it was the sweetest thing)⠀
⠀
We spent 2 nights in the cabin like suite, drinking 🍾🥂 , having fun, laughing & taking really long hot bubble baths in the oversized black oval shaped ceramic tub that had 1 rubber ducky.. I think we made bubble beards 😂 -you ever do that?⠀
⠀
It was never about the fancy stuff for me and I am so NOT a traditional girl. I am a “my way” girl even if it’s not the “usual way” and that makes ME happy. I just like what I like and truly, wanted the day to be about me and Cody being together. Nothing else really mattered.⠀
⠀
The day before our wedding I had to work and I didn’t really tell anyone about it.. but once I came back to work a few days later married, everyone kept asking me if I was pregnant... and when I said no “we just wanted to be together” they thought I was lying... whenever I told people I was married they’d instantly look at my ring finger for some huge rock - where they’d see a small simple sterling silver band with “I love you” in script all around it and again give me a look like I was lying..⠀
⠀
We’ve literally NEVER done anything by the books and I hope we never do!! [continued in comments👇🏼]
Here's the 𝙏𝙍𝙐𝙏𝙃 about BIG life changes: some people won't come with you & that's OKAY!⠀
⠀
5yrs ago my goal was to be able to fire my boss. I remember the day I announced, out loud, that I intended on QUITTING my full-time state job as soon as I built my online coach biz up enough to financially support me.. ⠀
⠀
Everyone told me, DON’T DO IT!!! *People often try to hold us back due to their own fear of change, it’s not personal* ALSO, quit listening to the opinions of people not living a life you would want for you. If you take someone’s advice you get their result💀 - be careful AF who you listen to!⠀
⠀
Studies show, the majority of people ARE unhappy with their current situation. Why do we stay tho?! Comfort? FEAR?! but, WHAT IF WE STAY?!?!! What’s 5yrs look like from NOW?🧐🤔 Keep reading if you’re not ecstatic about the answer⠀
⠀
I could NOT stand the thought of having SOMEONE else control my life schedule & DREAD getting out of bed for the next 60+ years.⠀
⠀
I NEED creativity, stimulation, change, growth, challenge, uplifting people (not randos I had to be around), travel, freedom, SLEEP, lotsa sleep😂!!⠀
⠀
Coaching constantly fulfills all of those needs. AND on top of that - it’s a job👩🏼💻that requires me to take care of my mental, internal and physical health FIRST — then I work (from my anywhere my phone can go) to help others do the same🤩⠀
⠀
Now, I’m showing an entire TEAM of badass, self-motivated women; IT'S OKAY to give the middle finger🖕🏽to societal norms & live outside the MFKN box - building a life we can be excited about.⠀
⠀
No more "omg I can't wait for the weekend" or "I can't wait until I get a vacation" when you do what you ENJOY - (&make the rules) everyday is like vacation💯⠀
⠀
Because more FREEDOM to be w/ loved ones w the limited time we’re on this planet is PRICELESS⠀
⠀
If you’re willing to learn new stuff, WORK, make friends, grow ur brain, be better than yesterday (coachable + mentored by me)..⠀
⠀
