If you have ever wondered why I do what I do I am about to show you! These women truly make me so grateful & to be apart of something that empowers women to do something greater not only with their health, but their lives in general makes all the work so worth it! 

"I'm passionate about helping other moms know they can take care of themselves & their families!" -Hailey Heard Powner

"Here was an opportunity for me to help people while improving my own fitness, a chance to become accountable to other people for my own fitness journey while helping others at the same time- and getting paid to do it. There is no college course or prerequisite degree required to be successful with this. All it takes is a passion for helping others and a desire to improve your life situation, with the possibility of creating a true legacy for your children. A passion to become your own boss- live life on your own terms, and to create time freedom so you can do what you want,...

I am SO obsessed with the new vegan Recover. I used the regular for years and although I'm not vegan, I really like that Beachbody has that option now. The difference between the two is the protein. Original Recover has whey, and vegan uses a plant based (pea) protein. Either way, they're both delicious and taste just like your childhood Ovaltine or Nesquik!

Try some for yourself with either a 20 serving tub or single packets (whey only)

And then go ahead and make this delicious sounding Chocolate Zucchini Bread Smoothie!!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for...Shakeology ice cream??

It's no secret that I love serving my daughters their Shakeology as ice cream. I feel good knowing they're getting the right vitamins and nutrients (with sprinkles of course) and they feel like they're having a special treat!

Try it out for yourself and make this Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakeology Ice Cream :) 

I try my best to support other moms out there so that they know they aren't alone! They have a community they can be apart of. I do this online and in person! 

As a mom myself, currently local to the Louisville area, my team and I get together once a month for ladies night out... Okay, mainly bonfires with some drinks ;) and weekly my team and I host virtual workouts and business meet ups to stay healthy and to help each other grow. I never feel like I'm going at it alone in this business!

As a company we have one nationwide event each year, & host more in-person events every quarter to bring local coaches and our customers together to celebrate the business, the physical, emotional and financial transformations that have come from the use of our products and business opportunity.

There is a company event upcoming this weekend where groups all across the US, UK and Canada are getting together and I want to encourage you to come to it! This event is not just for coaches,...

Sooo...there's a new product from the Beachbody boosts line - COLLAGEN!

My husband was talking about how he’s actually been wanting to try some for wrinkles and I’m not gonna lie I am totally game too!

Our collagen is DIFFERENT than other collagen on the market. It doesn’t include the protein like the others do. It is specifically targeted for hair, skin, and nails - and it is PROVEN TO DELIVER CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT RESULTS. It is proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

It does NOT target joints like other collagen products do. I am hopeful that this means BB is making a product that DOES target joints, but we don’t have one yet.

In summary: our collagen is:
- A SMALL scoop size
- Targets hair, skin, and nails
- It delivers POWERFUL, proven results

It's limited in what it does, but it's VERY VERY good at what it is supposed to do.

Check out: Collagen

Now let's take that Collagen Boost and make a delicious recipe out of it, shall we?

Let's face it, we can hire the coach, buy the workout, buy the Shakeology, get the 2B Mindset Nutrition Plan ... but still not have results?

Are you going to blame it on your coach? No, you won't because you know better than that. 

Here are the 5 things that I personally find go wrong when people hire a coach (be it here from my Beachbody business, or even when I myself have hired a business or mindset coach).

1. Not following the program
2. Not letting your coach know your REAL goals
3. Not keeping in communication with your coach
4. Not tracking progress
5. Not including personal development

I'll elaborate below:

1. Not following the program.  Your coach has a course, or in the case with my company, you get a FULL fitness calendar, a full meal plan, a program guide and even journals for mindset with some programs. If you are working with your Beachbody on Demand, you'll find this all under Program Materials.

2. Not letting your coach know your REAL goals. When you join...

What I love so much about this Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs sheet pan recipe is that it can be made for so many things! Have a brunch with your girlfriends, want to meal prep for the week or even have leftovers for dinner? - this is the recipe!

When you think of waking up early what is the first thing that comes to mind? I’d be willing to bet you get excited to wake up earlier to get your day started, but once morning hits you hit that snooze button & figure you will just start tomorrow. 

I did that too! We all do it from time to time! 

As a mom of two, once my kiddos are up for the day that’s when I shift my focus to them..and if you’re a parent you know how the demands of being a mother can be! 

So, I decided to start waking up earlier to get my day started off right. I start with my mom crack (AKA my energize), I journal to get my mind right & then I get my sweat on! I cannot even begin to tell you how much this changed my life! 

If you are where I was months ago, I have 5 tips to get you started with an impactful morning routine! 

Prepare the Night Before!

Having my workout clothes out & ready to go for me in the morning ALWAYS helps.. I am not digging through drawers...

Here in America, we just celebrated the 4th of July, are you like me and still celebrating through the weekend?

Even if you're not, I wanted to provide you some awesome food that's summer geared and a crowd pleaser - you can grill up a few extra of these Mediterranean Turkey Burgers this weekend to pack for lunches or have for dinner!

Ya'll I have been BLOWN AWAY by how much LIIFT4 has been shaping mine and my community member's lives!

This program has been all about BALANCE and getting that 'lifestyle liift' as I have to call it!   I've loved it so much since doing early access with the exclusive Coach Test group, I'm ready to just SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFS

You've probably seen in my stories on social media (Instagram @TamaraLeeBratton or Facebook Tamara Lee Bratton) that for me, this program has done the following:

• Given My husband and myself a workout we can DO TOGETHER

• Given my body rest

• Allowed my body to start cycling again (will note I also finished breastfeeding at the start of this program)

• Given me TONS of confidence as I lifted weights bigger than I thought I could (girl, sometimes I have a 45 pound weight!)

• It's just been FUN - like super fun to do 30-40 min workouts and feel AMAZING from it!

So what all did I do differently with...

I have been a coach for about 3 years and this is by far the MOST excited I have been about the Launch of a new program because of the fact that it is a full lifestyle focus meaning you learn how to balance being active with living your life and doing workouts on your own time - literally you pick the 4 days a week you want your workout and the others are recovery days - days to play in the pool with kids longer, go for a long hike, run with the dog, or just sit on your happy bottom! It's your days!  And you get a cheat day in nutrition - what!?!

You can TRY it by clicking here - seriously one FULL workout from this program that can help you make this decision!

Don't you want more of this, and less of being in the gym?!

So I'm going to keep this simple for you, provide a few of the pertinent details and some options for joining in.
