Taking Risks and Building a Dream.

I have been driving myself crazy, obsessing over what to make of my life. Don't get me wrong! I love my work as a nurse and the daily impact I have in people's lives. But, I was introduced to the concept of helping people who want to be helped BEFORE it affects them medically and I can't get it out of my mind. The ability to help people with their health and fitness goals is what I want to do with my life. Ultimately I would like to be respected and educated enough to be an inspiration and motivation to everyone I come in contact with.

After discussing this dream with my husband, he graciously supported me and encouraged me at length (as I cried in fear) to pursue this desire, one step at a time. I am fearful because I do not fail. I enjoy success. I give all of myself to everything I do and take great pride in all my work. I hesitated in how to preceded because I feared I was not educated enough to give the BEST advice that my clients would deserve. My sweet husband reminded me that my personal journey in life experience has surely taught me something. ;) We decided to take this dream and make it a reality one small baby step at a time.


Step one - Continue improving myself physically and mentally to be strongest and best version of myself. How can I be respected for my advice if I myself can't get it together. I will be blogging my personal journey, triumphs and struggles, and be as vulnerable as possible as I continue this journey. I will restart posting meal plans and training plans and answer all questions to the best of my ability. I am currently training for my first marathon in February.


Step two - Prove I can help you! I will be taking on some free trial clients. If you live in the Austin area, I will meet with you personally as time permits as well. I will write you a training plan and nutrition plan based on your needs and goals. Please email me at whittclinks@gmail.com with the following information.
1) what are your goals
2) dietary restrictions
3) gym membership?


Step three - Study for my Personal Trainer certification.


I can get overwhelmed with the "unknown" and my obsessive personality stresses to try and solve every possible problem before it even starts. In this process, I scare myself and fear the unknown and possibility of failure. But I truly believe this is my purpose and will being me much happiness in knowing I can make a difference and be an inspiration to others. I ask for your patience because I admittedly do not have it all figured out but I am going to bravely walk into the unknown and not fear failure but continue to strive to not only be my own best version, but help others become theirs as well.
