I'm Ashley and I'm so happy you are here! I am a new BSN at Mayo Clinic, fur momma to 2 cats, and an online health and fitness coach! In 2013 my life changed when I was dumped, in a major slump, gained my weight in ice cream, and picked up some awful habits. That is... until I saw an infomercial for Insanity. This opened the door to what became my passion and inspiration to help other women in medicine know that their health matters too! 

​

Hey nurses...your health matters too!

​

Cue the end of each workout commercials about some superfoods shake that ensures you get all the vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and proteins you need in a day. I knew I had to try it... I had initially gotten my Insanity DVDs off of E-Bay but was super skeptical getting shakes from a stranger. So I opted to go on beachbody website.... YIKES! was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the cost of the shakes. On a college budget with a part-time job that price seemed STEEP! Then I saw the option to sign up as a coach for a discount on all the products. Heck yea! A way to ignore the whole "network marketing thing" and just get discounts... count me in! So I bought my first package of Shakeology and was instantly hooked! 

​

"I couldn't believe how much better I felt and looked!"

​

By the summer of that year I couldn't believe how much better I felt and looked! I lost most of the weight I had gained during my wallowing period. I had enough confidence to apply and get accepted to 8 different nursing schools (basically telling my nay-sayers EFF OFF!). And I was the happiest I had been with myself in a long time.  That's when I knew I had to share my journey and successes with others!   

​

"I would have applied to Mayo or continued to push through school if it wasn't for the positivity and confidence I gained through coaching and beachbody"

​

By September 2016 I found an awesome upline who lived in the next town over and we quickly connected. We had similar goals and aspirations, including trying to create MKE Fit Club. I was regularly sharing my story and my team began to grow into something I never thought possible and still grows today. With it's growth I also grew. I began reading personal development and helping my mental health as well as my physical health. By April of 2018 I was on the path to graduate with my BSN and had accepted a position at the number 1 hospital in the country! I never would have applied Mayo or continued to push through school if it wasn't for the positivity and confidence I gained through coaching and beachbody. Now it's my turn to help you find your true self! 

 

So welcome to the Red Hot Nation! I hope that I inspire or at least help you along your journey in life. As this is only the beginning of mine.
