Hi, my name is Veronica. I live in the heart of the San Fernando Valley in
California. People ask me why I became an Independent BeachBody Coach.
The reality is that there is not only one reason, but a combination of
realizations concluded through many years of struggles and hope.

Around 10 years ago, I decided to walk away from a job that I loved, but
knew that would not last forever or provide me with the professional
satisfaction that I was looking for. Then, I started working at a nice real
estate management company that offered me excellent benefits. I decided to
continue my education to further my prospects in that company. Also, I
would work overtime hours at the expense of sacrificing time with my family.
Suddenly, the 2001 recession came, and the company laid me off. I found a
job at another company where I continued to work so hard, but still ended up
being laid off once again after a couple of years. Then, I went to work hard
for another company where the story repeated itself! In the mean time, I was
putting so much effort into my school work and trying to pay for tuition that I
rarely would spend time with my family, much less having a regular workout.
Finally, I graduated last year, and I thought that I would dedicate more of my
time to manage my responsibilities at work. But, the unexpected made me
change my plan of action.

My doctor gave me the scariest news I had ever received: She suspected a
small lump in my left breast. Thank God, after undergoing numerous tests,
the doctors decided that it was a false alarm. Well, I woke up from the
mental numbness my mind had fallen into the past years. I realized that I
was doing the same all over again while expecting different results by
chasing after the “cookie cutter” idea of having the dream job instead of
living my purpose. I have been blessed with a wonderfully supportive
husband and medical coverage, while other people need help. I decided to
not work overtime anymore, look after my family, and give back to my
community.

Currently I am a volunteer with the American Cancer Society, the Avon Walk
for Breast Cancer, and a member of the Lay Carmelite Order at my church. In
addition, with the support of my husband, I quit my job. The reason? Well, if
I am going to work hard, might as well do it in my own business and being
my own boss. Team Beachbody has given me the necessary tools to
overcome the fear of the “unknown entrepreneur business”.

Plus, by being an independent coach with BeachBody, there is the added
benefit of being able to exercise! I’ve loved exercise ever since my parents
took me to my first Tae Kwon Do lesson when I was 8 years old. By the age
of 11 years old, I was 1 of the only 3 children chosen in my school to take the
difficult black belt test (the three of us passed with flying colors!). When I
was 20, I won a surprise triathlon race (hiking, running, and soccer)
competing even against guys much taller than I during a martial arts seminar.
Then, with my husband, I have taken some ballroom lessons with world class
professional dancers (including a choreographer from DWTS). Currently, I
love taking a nice bike ride along the park or the beach, and I am working on
incorporating the fun exercise routines from the different BeachBody videos
in order to tone my body and get rid of my tummy.

As you can see, I have many reasons to be an independent Beachbody coach,
all of them are important and dear to my heart. I will help you in your
journey to reach your reasons and become healthy while having fun.
