I doubt you’ll read the rest of this post. 😂 just kidding!

I was picking at my nails, sweating, breathing heavy, and had a tight chest before my personal trainer certification test last Saturday. I would doubt myself one minute, but then remember my positive self talk I’ve learned over the years as a virtual coach the next. I was a roller coaster of emotions.
.
Whether I passed or failed, I knew I’d much prefer to have believed in myself than to doubt myself the whole time beforehand. And don’t get me wrong, this is SO hard to do if you’re so used to doubting yourself.

This is still something I need to work on in certain areas of my life now. And I’ve been a virtual coach for almost 4 years!! What I love about being a coach on this team and in this community is that we are all a work in progress – always. We can always improve and learn. Because no one is perfect!!

Where do you doubt yourself the most? Let’s have a conversation! I love chatting about mental health and growth 😊⬇️
“It takes just as much energy to doubt as it does to believe.”
Arlene has been the best coach/mentor I could ask for! For almost a year I’ve learned so much from her in order to change my lifestyle and become a much healthier and happier person. She is SO inspirational and keeps me motivated to make the best decisions for me on even my craziest and most stressful days. I’m incredibly thankful to have her as a coach and friend along this journey!
Arlene is the most supportive and compassionate person that I know- which makes her an amazingly inspirational coach! She is not afraid to share and is always there to listen. Arlene not only helped me physically, but has been a support for me emotionally as well. I feel lucky to call her a friend.
Arlene is absolutely amazing. She is super supportive, so encouraging, and walks with you through your journey. Her positive attitude draws you in and makes you feel super comfortable. I was able to finally finish and entire workout program, while being encouraged by her, for the first time ever. Thank you Arlene for you time,.effort, support, love, and encouragement �
It’s been fun connecting with Arlene over the past year through health and fitness. We have known each other since… middle school I think? Arlene is a great support and accountability partner. She is willing to work with you on your specific goals and meet you where you’re at on your own fitness journey. The support of her group has helped me stick with my plans to achieve my goals!
I love Arlene and how incredibly supportive she is! I have been looking for some serious accountability for a while during my fitness journey, and it’s been so hard to find! But she reached out to me and has not given up on me (even when I’m seriously slacking). She always so good about reaching out to simply see how life is going. She interested in just more than tracking my workouts, she’s into the personal side as well!
