I was so nervous. All week I was nervous. When I was sitting up there I was shaking because I was so nervous. But...I did my job. I inspired.
My main talking points were weight loss and non-scale victories. I honestly can't remember much of what I said but when I was talking about non-scale victories {which is Sadie's new favorite thing} I told my story about the first time I ever thought I was beautiful. It happened at barre3 {are you really surprised by that}?!?!
Here I am, probably crying. I was looking out in to the crowd and people were silent when I was talking. I wasn't the funny person of the group {go Frayn}, I wasn't the intelligent one {go Robyn}, I was the brutally honest, raw, and crying one. And I couldn't be happier. To look out and see Sadie, the founder of barre3 and Carrie, the studio owner where I practice, crying. That meant the world to me. There were others too...
You made me cry! Kait and I could not even look at each other when you talked about seeing your beauty in the studio mirror. I will remember that story forever. Truly. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us and with the whole barre3 community, lovely woman!

It was all worth it. I love sharing my story. I love inspiring people. I love barre3. It was the perfect situation and it doesn't get better than this...
Fingers crossed {that it does actually get better than this}...
