Sometimes, life changes in an instance. For Monica Vallejo, that meant waking up one day to learn her husband and father of three was living a dangerous double life. Overnight, she found herself a full time single mom. As she grappled with providing for her family, she took stock in her health. She was obese: 75 pounds overweight. And knowing she was the sole parent for her children led her on a fitness journey that would reshape her life. Today, five years later, Monica is strong and fit and now coaches other women to chose a healthier lifestyle. Monica reminds us that most destructive habits are rooted in fear and retiring them helps us claim the natural power we were born to use.
