When people ask me what I do for a living sometimes my answer changes based on the person or the situation. Almost 14 years ago I started a web design & creative media<\/a><\/strong> business after leaving a full time career in radio broadcasting. Growing my business in web development, design, marketing and media has given me a lot of freedom and flexibility over my schedule. I have loved working with businesses to help them communicate their brand and vision and I have continued in this work because it\u00a0is something that I’m passionate about. At times it has been a difficult journey but I stay on it because I love it.<\/p>\n

In 2010 I became a Certified Health Coach after experiencing my own personal “before and after” through a program that helped me lose 30 pounds. I have gone through seasons of being more or less vocal about my work as a coach because more than anything I want people to understand my heart to help, to inspire, and to motivate them. I have never wanted that to seem disingenuous. Coaching is a trendy business. Many people have come and gone and lacked consistency in their own journeys.\u00a0I’ve stayed the course because I mean what I say and I say what I mean. It hasn’t been perfect. I’ve tripped up along the way but never derailed. I have a responsibility to those I’m working so hard to help as they envision a healthier life for themselves. I continue in my work as a health coach because I love it, I’m passionate about helping people and I’m really good at it.<\/p>\n

I launched my brand Fit Guitar Girl \u2122 because it combines my passions for fitness, healthy mindset, and my love of music. I’ve adjusted course over the last 7 years through moments of confusion and clarity…it’s not easy to know exactly where you’re going and how to get there. Sometimes our vision changes a little and\u00a0becomes more clear along the way. Be inspired \u00a0and move toward what you love because that is the catalyst that will lead you to\u00a0the best changes in your life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
