Alyssa
Girl mom, businesswoman, entrepreneur, and supportive wife. I was raised by my incredible, fierce parents who taught me to be the same way. I've learned over the years the only way to get through life is by being strong and having a positive attitude. I fear losing what I've worked so hard to build. I love the life I'm living now with an incredible husband, beautiful daughter and fulfilling job. I worry that one of those things could be taken from me and I'll be left to start all over. The day my daughter was born was my best day. I struggle with making sure I'm the best version of me, for her. It's easy to get lost in motherhood and forget who YOU are so I continue to work on that every day. Working in the fitness industry, I feel like I'm not good enough VERY OFTEN. I've only recently come to understand and appreciate that I am a BADASS. I have a lot of experience and if I don't have experience in something, I strive to learn. Though I'm always working on myself and growing it is so easy to get lost in an image of what I'm supposed to look like or supposed to be doing. I used to look around and think I didn’t belong because I didn’t have rock hard abs and I'm bigger framed than many of my peers. But now, instead of feeling not enough, I've now come to embrace my differences and love them. It's actually what sets me apart in an industry that needs to see all different types of people. I'd be lying if I said I don't care about what people think of me, but I'm growing a LOT in that department. I believe in surrounding myself only with those who lift me up. To me, success is happiness - if I'm happy, then I'm successful. I'm proud of all that I've overcome. I've overcome depression and anxiety. I've been diagnosed with a potentially very harmful disease and I've defied a lot of odds. Here I am, standing tall and proud. My true hope is to make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible. I'm not in it for self advancement, I just want to help change the world and be the brightest light I can be, every single day. I love to be a Mom. I'm outgoing, strong willed and determined AF. I am Alyssa. I am powerful, and I'm only getting started.
