In this episode, we got to sit down and chat with the lovely Sarah Brooks! Sarah is a pastor's wife, a mom to FIVE beautiful babies, and a Beachbody coach! My favorite thing about Sarah though is that she is totally and completely REAL.  I found her page on Instagram about four years back and was immediately drawn to her because of her honesty and transparency. Over the last four years, I have seen her fearlessly live her purpose through every season that life brings by pouring her heart into others both inside and outside of her home. It's been amazing to see her bravely step into what God has called her to do---no matter what God calls her to do---as both a mom and a coach. Not only has she encouraged me by sharing her journey, but it's been such a blessing to see her family grow, her team grow, and the fruits of her labor blossom as she presses on each day to live the life that God has called her to. In doing that, she has encouraged me to do the same, and I ha...
Does anyone elses husband have an internal alarm that dings for them to shave their entire body in the bathroom sink seconds after you've cleaned it? How about a wife that leaves the bathroom door open when she's using it? NO?! Just us?! Well this is embarassing... Over the last seven years, we have had plenty of ups and downs, but just like every other AHR topic, we want to shed light on the "downs" because no matter how perfect the relationship, one thing is guaranteed...hard times will come. While the little things above definitely do have the ability to become the "big things," we are going to talk about some of our more serious struggles in hopes to encourage you all to know you aren't alone! There are plenty of relationships out there that talk about their cinderella stories, and quite frankly, we've had enough with the fluff. If you're constantly comparing your HighlightREAL to someone elses HighlightREEL, it's easy to...
This week, we had the opportunity to sit down and talk with the one and only Sarah Sliman! Corey and I absolutley adore Sarah and everything she stands for, and we have a feeling that after listening to this week's podcast, you will too! Sarah is a fitness guru, personal trainer, and speaking from experience, an absolutely amazing health coach---but that wasn't always her story. In this podcast , we get to hear her talk all about how she got to where she is now. Spoiler alert: It took her learning to leave behind a victim state of mind, and choosing to use her struggles as a catalyst to help others. If staying stuck in victim mode (guilty) is something you struggle with, you have to take a listen! During her story, we covered everything from the struggle of comparison and feelings of not being enough to getting rid of the stigma around fitness culture. I dont want to give too much away in this post because the podcast was that good and I want to enc...
