Hold On

My story is a different version of the 11:59 moment. It involves a lot of highs and lows and endless trust that the outcome will be worth the struggle. Over the past 2 years, I have run two separate fitness businesses, one through in-home personal training, and one through a brick and mortar in the form of a fitness studio. When the world came to a halt so did both of those businesses. We were forced to find alternatives to keep clients engaged and keep revenue coming in. We created online fitness challenges and showed up for our community despite how mentally and physically exhausting it was to hold out hope when we didn’t know what the outcome would be. The studio didn’t make it through the pandemic, we were forced to close. I spent a lot of time grieving the loss of that space and when my heart was ready, I began to heal.

Recently, all of the learning, growth, and experience I gained from the low times have opened up doors for me in areas I never thought possible. I still battle uncertainty as I feel that my heart isn’t ready to trust that the outcome will be everything I hoped it would be, but I have learned that I do not get to control that outcome no matter how hard I try. All I can do is surrender to the process and take in every learning lesson along the way. Despite how challenging the last two years have been, I know they happened to me for a reason and I am eager to see where this growth will take me. Stay tuned for the ultimate 11:59 outcome (it may be years, and that’s ok).
