Her Story
I drained my savings account to develop and produce an original home workout DVD. I was working crazy hours in management consulting and had recently completed my MBA, but could not ignore my deep desire to share fitness, health and wellness with others. I chose to lean in. I realized I had unique ability to motivate and encourage others through fitness and wellness. At a very young age I began struggling with my weight. I weighed 106 pounds in the 3rd grade. However, my weight loss journey transformed my way of thinking and revealed my personal strength.
My new-found mental grit positively impacted my career, relationships and my faith. I had a duty to share my weight management success story and tools for others to succeed and I started Grit By Brit: a fitness studio and smartphone app. More importantly, I created a culture surrounded community, female empowerment, mental health and self-confidence. My lean in decision taught me that I am capable of doing things far beyond my imagination. I have encouraged the lives of many people by simply sharing my gifts and taking a risk.
