Friends, I want to introduce you to my client—and dear friend—Ruthanne.
Ruthanne lives in Florida, and we’ve had the pleasure of being a team for the past two years. I call us a team because Ruthanne takes her coaching to heart in a way that is truly beautiful and resilient.
When I first met Ruthanne (on the phone—we’ve actually never met in person!), she had experienced tremendous loss. Her husband had passed away, her son was grown and preparing to leave home, and Ruthanne suddenly found herself in a season where she could turn her attention toward healing herself.
At the time, she was navigating knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain and Type 2 diabetes. My heart stretched wide open listening to her story.
Fast forward two years…
She’s traveling in Banff.
She’s comfortable on airplanes and traveling. She hikes, kayaks, takes aqua aerobics and bird watches. She gets down on the floor with her little dogs, climbs the stairs at work and uses her home gym. And she tells me she is now pain-free.
Then she sent me this video from her travels.
She climbed that mountain.
She wanted to give me the credit, but girl… that was YOU.
I’m your coach. I’m your cheerleader. I provide the plan, the progression and the encouragement—but you are the one who shows up. You are the one who keeps going. You are the one who has built this body and this life back up, one consistent choice at a time.
Ruthanne, I am so incredibly proud of you.
This is exactly why I do what I do.
Not just to help people get stronger in the gym, but to help them build a body that gives them more freedom to live the life they want.
Keep going, girl. I can’t wait to see where you go next.
