The BEGINNING
Why F.I.E.R.C.E.?
I get that question a lot..."Why F.I.E.R.C.E.?"... "Why did you choose that word, that name? What does it mean?"
When I "found" F.I.E.R.C.E....I was desperate. I was preparing to move out of my house and marriage and was questioning everything in my life…how I got there, what I was doing, my thoughts, my feelings, my career, my heart...you name it. I needed to
find myself again. I needed to find Derith. As I was feverishly searching for something, ANYTHING, to motivate me and pull me out of this spiral... a quote popped up, and there it was:
“This is the year I will be stronger, braver, kinder, & unstoppable. This is the year I will be FIERCE.”
I realized that F.I.E.R.C.E. was what I USED to be & I HAD to find my way back there...strong but feminine, smart but always learning, leader and team player, content but driven, confident but curious, and above all else, truly, wholeheartedly happy. I knew I could become that again & I slowly figured out how.
I began living the F.I.E.R.C.E. life before I believed I could and before I even knew exactly what it was. As a personal trainer of 16 years at this point, I did know fitness and used that as the starting point for all things F.I.E.R.C.E.. I reached out to the women in my life and asked them to join me on this adventure of finding ourselves by prioritizing our health.
All women. All stories. All destinations. The only pre-req was that you had to be female.
Each month I coached my all-female tribe through online challenges based on what we needed at the time. We started with exercise and healthy eating but quickly realized that was just scratching the surface… and F.I.E.R.C.E. Read the rest of the story at www.fiercebychoice.com
