Welcome! Tell me about you.
Hi! Welcome to Girl_GoneStrongCoaching. I am 58 years old and feel better than I have in my entire life. My journey has had many twists and turns with so many lessons along the way. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a wife, mother, cancer survivor and all the mental health issues that go along with life.
I started my bodybuilding journey back in 2011. I had been out of work taking care of an injured family member. I need to start taking care of me so I could be the best for them. I joined the local YMCA and started going 3 times a week. During this time people used to tell me how strong of a woman I was, handling life so well. Only problem was I would look in the mirror and not see that. Once my family member was better, it was weird not to feel needed. Golds Gym had an advertisement for a New Year's Challenge. I thought why not I really need to figure life out and see that strong woman. On my first session with Caitlyn(who is and MD now) she asked me why I joined the Challenge. I toldher" I had been caring for family member and everyone keeps telling me how strong I am, but I don't see her. I need to see her." This was the start of it all!
In 2016 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had been training so hard. I met a competitor that really helped teach and inspire me to get on stage. Only boom, hello breast cancer 🎀. That journey is a story for another day. I will happily answer any questions on the cancer journey, just ask.
Fast forward to yes COVID......Here it is 4 years later and I am finally feeling well enough to hit the gym again and NOPE! LOCKDOWN! Well I found Beach Body and started working out at home buying my equipment needed online. It was a good jump start but not quite the rocket launch I hoped for. It was a 2 year roller coaster ride of wieghtloss, weight gain, loving the gym, or being a lazy lay about.
Just before covid I started managing for a nationwide supplement company. This was so up my alley. The supplemental knowldge I was given is so valuable along this journey I am thankful. During this time I was able to meet some pretty amazing athletes and really get to know few of them. The knowledge from them...I can not thank them enough.
When it was time to grow I went off and managed for nationwide medical weightloss and wellness clinic. The education I was given in nutrition, peptides and lifestyle changes is undeniable.
I have also been an aerobics instructor, personal trainer and nutrion consultant.
I started girl_gonestrongcoaching to help hold people accountable an guide them down the road to health, wellness, longevity and healthy lifestyle.
Let's talk!
