Thanks for being here!
Hi! I am so happy that you are here!
I am a 26 year old Minnesota native soaking up small town life in south central MN. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Peter. We just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary back in January. Together we have an almost 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son. They keep us on our toes and our life wouldn’t be the same without them.
I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up because I always had so many interests and always had to be busy. I loved jobs like lifeguarding and waitressing in high school and college. After I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology, I realized that I didn’t want to be cooped up in an office working a 9-5. I craved something more. I had a hard time finding my place after getting married. When we found out I was pregnant with Anna, we decided I’d be a stay at home mom after her birth in 2019.
Honestly, the transition from full time worker bee to stay-at-home mom was super challenging for me. For the first time in my adult life I had been forced to slow down. I learned what it was like to put family first and slow weekends together. I learned so much about myself and I found that I CRAVED flexibility, freedom, and slowness for our family. This was when I found BODi, formerly known as Beachbody. I jumped all into my health and wellness journey pushing through the Postpartum Anxiety & Postpartum Depression, finding joy and energy in my life, and finally having an outlet for myself.
In 2020, I returned to the workforce but my passion for health and wellness and hunger for this business never wavered. I have continued to teach busy moms how to fit this into the cracks of their days and dream bigger so they too can have the energy to chase after their own littles. This community that I have built with so many strong women is what gets me out of bed everyday so that I can keep pushing to be the best version of myself for our family.
I am soaking up every moment of life with little kids. You can find me rocking early mornings, having dance party’s in the kitchen, working at my local State Park as an Office Admin, enjoying as much time outside as possible, or snuggled up on the couch watching Star Wars with Peter.
I hope you stick around!
