About Me
Wife, Mom, BODi Partner, Mentor
Hi there, I’m Kaitlyn- or Kait for short! I’m an online Health & Wellness Partner + work full-time managing our family’s pool business. I live in small-town Ohio with my husband and two kids, Karson (5), and Ruth (3). I am so happy you are here and excited to share my story with you.
My Health Journey
My story begins in high school. I was always overweight growing up and in high school that can be hard. As a sophomore I started down a path of purging anything I ate that I didn’t deem as good for me, so mainly anything with fat or too many calories. I would eat foods that were targeted as healthy by trigger words, “low fat”, “zero sugar”, “low calorie”, etc.
After high school I knew, I couldn’t keep purging so I started trying every fad diet, diet pill, cleanse, shake, wrap, you name it. These things usually worked at first but left me feeling deprived and I would quit. I was notorious for skipping meals just to binge later and eat even more.
Before kids, I went to the gym religiously 5-6x per week. Before I had my first I even had a group of women I met every night. We held each other accountable and I finally felt like I was in a healthy mindset. Once I had my son I tried to start back at the gym. I made it a few times, but I found with working full time and now being a mom I couldn’t keep consistent. After having my daughter there was no way. I found myself slipping into old habits. I was purging from time to time. I had no energy. I was living on coffee all day and wine in the evenings. I was short-tempered. My anxiety was at an all-time high. I was not the mom I always envisioned I would be.
I will never forget the day that I made the decision that enough was enough and my kids deserved me healthy. I was giving my kids a bath when my son said “Mommy, you have a big belly!” I was crushed. I know to a toddler he knew big as well, but I knew I wanted my kids to see the best me and that was not was I was giving them.
I signed up for BODi on my phone right then and there. I started making small changes like getting up half an hour before the kids to get my workout in. I made small swaps to my diet and added personal development because I needed to be healthy and that included my mind. In just over a year, I have completely transformed my body, my mind, and MY LIFE! I have lost over 40 lbs, but I have gained so much more confidence, energy, and muscle. My kids now get the best of me!
I will never forget how I felt that day on the bathroom floor and that is why I pay it forward and help other women make the same physical and emotional transformations I did. I host monthly virtual boot camps where we follow home workout programs together, share meal plans, teach you how to make healthy swaps, share motivation, and hold you accountable to show up and follow thru to get results. The community piece is crucial and my groups are full of some truly amazing women who support and encourage each other. We are all partnered on this journey and are with each other every step of the way. I know you’ll fit right in!
My Partner Journey
I joined as a Partner as I began my journey. The week I signed up my husband was considering getting a second job. We wanted to be able to travel more and do things with the kids, but our finances didn’t allow it. Taking a second job in the evenings would have been counterintuitive because it would have just taken more time away rather than spending it with them. I thought well if I can get a few friends to do this with me it will hold me accountable and help me recoup my investment. Well, I did that within my first week and quickly realized that it also up-leveled my accountability.
I had other women who were looking for me to be their example and it helped me show up on days for them when I didn’t want to show up for myself. Within the first month, we realized that this was our answer to having a supplemental income. Not only did it help me show up as a better mom and wife, but I was making money to prioritize myself. I have now helped over 100 women change their lives through health and fitness. I found a passion I didn’t know I had and my way to shine some light on the small part of the world I occupy.
Interested in doing what I do?
In my mentorship, I will show you how to earn an income by living a healthy lifestyle and inspiring others to do the same. You don’t need to be your goal weight or have a ton of followers, or even know anything about how to grow a business (all of that I cover in my mentorship), but you do need to be hard-working, self-motivated, and ready to reach for MORE!
