I am fighting tears because I never dreamed this would be my life.
You may have seen me share on Instagram about our first ever Fit With Deb Retreat in Lake Norman, North Carolina.
My heart is so full from our weekend at a glorious lake house. Women came from near and far to get away from the everyday hustle and simply relax. While the view was spectacular, it was went on inside the house that was phenomenal.
The focus was to be unrushed and unscheduled. We ate a ton of delicious food, played hilarious games, talked on our expansive deck, sat by the water, walked together, exercised, and had a photographer capture beautiful women.
I am fighting tears because I never dreamed this would be my life.
Fit With Deb came about unexpectedly. I was widowed in 2012 without warning. I had 4 little boys to suddenly provide for. Instead of playing it safe and returning to the classroom, I took one of the biggest, scariest risks of my existence.
I pursued my newfound passion of helping women feel their best. I found such joy in meeting women where they were and holding their hand as I led them forward to confidence, strength, and freedom.
It has been quite a journey from December 2012 to October 2022. I have cried while learning how to do hard things.
I didn't know what a blog was.
I didn't know how to convert and upload to YouTube.
I didn't know how to fight my fears and go live on camera.
I didn't know if anyone wanted what I so desperately wanted to give.
I doubted myself.
I felt like an imposter.
I feared failure.
I stumbled often.
I pushed so far beyond my comfort zone.
Because of YOU.
While I may not have had the pleasure of knowing you from the beginning of 2013 when I first put my toe in the water, I did all this FOR YOU.
It's what's driven me for nearly 10 years. YOU have driven me.
Thank you! I never take for granted your trust in me to help you meet your health and wellness goals. I know it can be scary to take those steps. But we are in this together!
Before our retreat even officially began, our coordinator Parrish already started mentioning our NEXT Fit With Deb retreat. As the weekend unfolded, I'd overhear several ladies mentioning when and where our next getaway will be.
In case you were confused / uninformed about how to be a part of it, I limited this opportunity to a select few. It was only for active members of Fit + Fresh. Every member was invited and had months to prepare for the unforgettable event. Our lake-front home was 3 stories and nearly 5000 square feet with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms; plus it was close to a major airport.
