So now now here's the thing. 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.600 I know, you run this business and are a huge 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.160 influence on people's lives and changing their lives, inspiring them 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.199 to get help healthy, get fit, lose weight, all these 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.600 different things. Tell me how all In started, and tell 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.760 me kind of where it is today and what it 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.320 does specifically, because I see the Instagram, I see the videos. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:12.880 I'm moved. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.280 I see these women, you know, coming to these conferences 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.280 and you inspiring and you dropping weight and staying healthy. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.080 Just kind of just give me the stage of how 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.960 this started and why and where it's at today. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.400 I mean, essentially, what happens. I met my husband probably 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.560 eleven years ago. I was naturally ranked of Questrian, I 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:33.760 traveled NonStop. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.840 Life was great. You know. That's how he met me, 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:37.600 like as this. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:42.080 Really driven, competitive, successful person in this world of sports 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.920 in regards to horses. And then we started getting serious. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.160 I started becoming closer with his stepdaughter. I started, you know, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.880 we moved in together and we wanted to start a family, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:58.680 and I tried, after having slate to go on the 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.280 road with her and you know, still be married to 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.920 Edwin and everything, like tried to do it all and 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.440 I just couldn't. I was like, why am I taking 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.320 my new board on the road with me to go 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.280 to horse shows and like live like you know, one 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.120 foot in, one foot out of both places. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.360 And I just didn't feel good about it anymore. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.280 And so then that's when I just I stopped riding 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.840 horses professionally and you know, you know, took care of 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.160 the kids and Edwin in our house. 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.840 And then I had a lot. 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.600 Of fertility issues getting pregnant with Cruise. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.920 I was on all these steroids, ivf all of these things. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.840 I you know, gained you know, over eighty pounds, and 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:44.360 then after having Cruise, I didn't lose it. And I 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.040 got to the place where Edwin would come home from 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.240 work at night and I'd be with the kids and 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.520 I wasn't taking care of myself. I was taking care 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.320 of them like no other, but then they would be 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.800 asleep and I would look to Edwin to validate me 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.960 every night. And it became this really vicious cycle where 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.160 like I really wasn't taking care of myself, I really 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.520 wasn't taking accountability to making myself feel better. And I 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.200 also wasn't telling Edwin what I needed or like what 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.080 made me feel good. So you know, after about like 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.840 eight months of this of just not feeling good in 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.400 my own skin and like blaming Edwin for it, for 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.480 this life that we decided we were creating together, I 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.240 was like, I'm going to change my life, and I'm 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:27.440 going to. 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:28.440 Change my life today. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.000 And food had always been an issue, you know, whether 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.080 I wasn't eating enough of it or whether I was 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.560 eating NonStop, you know, like I fluctuated between eighty to 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.480 one hundred pounds multiple times in my life. So wow, 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.440 I also knew after having kids, I didn't want to 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.960 show them that relationship with food. I wanted to show 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.400 them a healthy relationship with food. I wanted to show 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.800 them it's good to be active and take care of 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.160 yourself and want to play sports or go on walks 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.680 and do these things together. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.800 And a lot of the times what happens is parents will. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.040 Say, like, my kids spend all these times on tablets, 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.720 but then they don't go do anything with them that's active. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.040 So it's like, well, okay, they're seeing you on your 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.879 phone all day, So that's what they're emulating. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.679 So that's where all in started. It was really just 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.400 about a journey for myself. And I just said, hi, 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.280 my name's Teddy. Follow along if you're. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.520 Interested to see if I can change my life. And 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.000 over the next year, there was no business, There was nothing. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.640 It was solely about me wanting to change my life. 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.080 And I used Instagram to hold me accountable, posted my workouts, 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:32.080 my food, my body transformation, everything, and you know, quickly 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.320 it grew following because either people want to support you 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.760 or people want to see you fail. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:39.720 And then you. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.560 Know, it really just people started messaging me and say, listen, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.320 you know, I don't want to do this on Instagram, 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.000 but I want to change my life. And I was like, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.080 oh my gosh, I could do this for people. And 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.080 so then if that's how it became. And you know, 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.159 at first the business started out as me and I 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.679 could run about forty clients myself. Then I got an assistant, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.600
