After a full year of trying, I finally got accepted into the Amazon Influencer Program!

I had been turned down three times—which, according to Amazon, was all they allowed. Each rejection stung, but I kept going. After that third "no," I decided to pivot and pursue other opportunities: the Walmart Creator Program and TikTok Affiliate. I was accepted into both!

Even so, I didn't give up on Amazon entirely. I continued sharing my Amazon associate links on Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram whenever I discovered a product I genuinely loved. Then one day, I logged in to post and saw it: "Congratulations!" I was genuinely shocked.

You might be wondering: what does this have to do with being healthy?

Everything.

The results came through consistency. The old me would have given up the moment I hit that first obstacle. But years of coaching taught me that lasting change only comes with consistent effort. This principle applies to any endeavor—and it's especially true for health transformation.

We didn't become unhealthy overnight, so we can't expect our health to transform overnight either. But I promise you this: if you consistently fuel your body with quality protein and healthy fats, drink plenty of water, and move regularly, you WILL see results.

Sometimes the breakthrough comes right after you think about giving up. Keep going.
