I shared this on Facebook but I realize I have so many friends who don't use that to keep up with me...so I wanted to share it here, on my blog, too.
"This post is somewhat hard for me. I feel like this may let some people down and I know others may think I am settling because I swore I was doing the whole SAHM gig forever while running my coaching business, but this is my life and I know what is best for me and my family. That is all that matters.
Over the past few months, some things have come up in my personal life that have reminded me of what I used to say and still believe to this day (I mean, after all, my daughter goes to school 3x/week)....I was not meant to be a SAHM mom forever. I LOVE my kids. I truly do. But not everyone is cut out for this gig, it is not easy. I have had two amazing years at home with them but there are some changes we need to make in our lives and me stepping back into the working world is one of them.
I love my coaching business, that isn't going anywhere. I am a Beachbody Coach for life. #lifer I love what Beachbody has done for me, for my family and what I get to do each day. I wouldn't even be able to be in the spot I am, looking for jobs, interviewing and making this change in my life without what Beachbody. All of the personal growth I have done these past 20 months has lead me to become a strong and more confident woman. I know that I will carry this new attitude with me in whatever role I find. I will continue to be a coach, to grow myself as a person and run my business no matter what changes come my way. I would never stop sharing this business with others because I believe in Team Beachbody, their mission, the programs, products and the coaching opportunity.
But there are days when I long to be a part of an office again, not the big corporate kind where you tend to be just a number on the payroll but a company that values their employees, has a strong understanding of the importance of culture and really believes in work-life balance. I miss days of getting dressed, like this, and going to a meeting. I think I clean up alright. ;)
And I truly believe I can find a company that embodies all of that and still manage my coaching business just like I am now, before the kids are up or after they are in bed...that is the beauty of it, coaching does not impact a full time job if you use your time wisely. I can work it on my time and what works best for my schedule and my families schedule. And, let's be honest, an extra income from my coaching business on top of a salary from going back to work could be pretty nice, right?!
So as I embark on this new season for me and for my family, I ask for positive vibes that I find a role with a company I believe in, like I do with Beachbody, and that they believe in me too. <3
{{Since there is $$ above, just want to say there is no guaranteed level of success with Coaching, it is up to the individual and the amount of effort they put into their business.}}"
