You may think there is something different about her---something we all don't have---- BUT, the reality is You and I…

This has always stumped me. Do they really want to to go down in history as the only one who made..."that pot roast"?

I was excited that Team Beachbody (creators of P90X and Shakeology) featured me on their website! They see how important it is to support women/moms in their health and wellness-- along with the fantastic business opportunity to work from home. I just love it-- and I am proud of our coaches and proud of our Beyond the Bus Stop moms who have made their health and wellness a priority! Our kids learn from us how to respect our bodies, mind…
