Honestly from here there are so many motivators, people who have literally told me motivational things and people who I look up to as role models, men and women who have shown strength physically but also as parents and as husbands and wives and as people in general. But my biggest motivators are these tiny humans who I’d do anything for.

My teen daughter. She and I go running at 5:30 in the mornings and she pushes me every step of the way. She really has what it takes to make a great future PT

My 2 daughters, ages 10 and 14. I didn't grow up with any positive examples of what it's like to be healthy and active. I grew up hearing constant criticism of my own body as well as pretty much any other woman whether they were celebrities on tv or people in my own life. Every flaw was criticized. I cannot tell you how deep that damage is and how long I've held onto it. Telling an 11 year old girl that her ankles are "too thick" and that she is going to have flabby bat wing arms is unacceptable.

I've made a very conscious effort to not criticize myself out loud in front of my daughters or ever mention their bodies. I am trying to show them by example that a healthy lifestyle is more important than the size of their jeans. There's been days when I was tired and didn't want to go for a run, and my daughters will literally bring me my shoes and say "Let's go to the track mom. Even if we just do 1 mile". My hope for them is that they see that beauty isn't simply physical, and that their worth isn't defined by how big their thighs are or how pretty their faces are.
