Peace Out San Diego, Hello Long Beach.
The first part of my trip is coming to an end and I must say
I am feeling very grateful to be able to take a trip like this. My first stop
was San Diego. I was picked up at the airport by my friend of 20 plus years,
Virgil, from back in Boston who moved out here a few years back. He took me all
over the city, showed me his favorite spots, and we just had time to hang out
and catch up.
I love the beach and have been to many islands, spots up and
down the east coast, but this was the first time that I was able to see the
water on the west coast. It was gorgeous…and exactly how I had imagined it.

My plan while I’m out here is to see old friends, meet new
ones, and explore new places all while working my business from the road. The
cool thing about coaching is the fact that you can do it from anywhere and
since I am single and childless (minus Layla my cat) I am able to just pick up
and take off.
Shakeology and a walk every morning |
A big part of my life whether I am traveling or not is
staying active and healthy. I recently developed an app call Custom Eats that
is meant to help people with dietary preferences find restaurants and see their
options when they aren’t familiar with a place. While I am out here I am also
hitting up local eateries and adding meals to the app and spreading the word.

Staying
on track with your health and fitness is a little different, but not impossible
while traveling. I made sure to pack my Shakeology for breakfast every morning,
offered on several nights to cook my hosts a healthy dinner, I have Beachbodyon Demand if I want to do my Beachbody workouts, or I have also been trying to
hit up local businesses for a good workout. The cool thing about hitting up the
local places is that usually your first class is free at places so ultimately I
could try a new place every day and not have to pay to workout. We have also
been implementing a lot of hikes and walking while enjoying the scene.
My hosts in San Diego was one of my first college friends
from NU Kate and her fiancé Liz. Over the years Kate had moved all over the
country and back in 2013 actually came back to Boston and was my roommate for a
year until she picked up and moved out to the west coast to be with her love. I
was happy to have the opportunity to come out and visit her for a change and
also get to spend some time getting to know the woman she is going to marry!
Not going to lie I have been going to bed pretty early…this
jet lag thing is no joke, but I am finally on the right schedule and tonight I
head up to Long Beach to visit more old friends! When I imagined what my life
would look like in my 30’s back in the day, this most definitely was not it,
but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I use to hide…I would avoid new places
or anywhere that I didn’t feel comfortable or know everyone…now I am doing the
complete opposite of that.
Coming off one of the most progressive years of my life, I
found myself feeling a little lost. Although I had accomplished great growth
within myself and my business I felt like I was missing something. I felt like
I was being pulled out here to the west coast and since I had the ability to do
it, I went…
What comes of this trip is still unknown, but what IS known
is that I am damn lucky to even have this opportunity. This year I am going to
build an elite team of coaches and I am looking for people just like myself who
want to join me on this journey. Feb. 1st I will be personally
mentoring 5 people who want to live their live by THEIR design and who aren’t
afraid to work to make that happen! Sound interesting? Fill out the application
