About
Learn About melanieHey Friend! Welcome to my website! I am honored that you are here taking a peek around to learn more about who I am and what I do.
I am first a wife to my husband Matt and a mom to my two boys Landon and Bryce. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Special Education. Before Matt and I started our family I worked as the Director of Early Intervention. I left my full time job after our boys were born to be a stay at home mom.
Six months later I found myself feeling pretty low in the self confidence department. I couldn’t fit into my pre pregnancy clothes and I no longer identified myself as a career woman. I didn’t realize how much I missed the contribution and significance aspect of my work. I decided I needed to do something for me and the first place I turned to was Facebook.
I made a post about trying to lose weight and that I was just over here eating some celery trying to figure this whole weight loss thing out.
I had friend of my husbands reach out to me and invite me to join a support group online through Beachbody. After doing a little “creeping” I realized that this woman was just like me. A mom of 2 who also was working on getting her post baby body back in shape. So, I joined her and that is where the story begins! After having an amazing experience with Beachbody’s workouts and nutrition I started a blog called Committed to Getting Fit to share my tips and tools for losing the weight and keeping it off.
I also started sharing my journey on my Facebook and Instagram account with the sole purpose to transform the lives of others just the way that I did.
This fulfilling hobby quickly started to grow and become an income stream for our family that we never dreamed possible.
In 2011, I started my coaching business with Beachbody. In the past 9 years I’ve grown and scaled my business from less than 75 Facebook friends, zero Instagram followers and no social media or marketing experience to over 93K on Instagram and over 60K on Facebook. I went from new coach/business owner to the 4X Top Coach in the company. I’ve been in the top 10 of the company for the past 7 years and an Elite coach for 8 years.
I learned that I have a passion for creating systems, teaching people time management and developing leaders.
I served on the coach advisory board for 4 years and I received the CEO award at our annual coach summit in 2018.
I am a member of the Millions Club at Beachbody and I’m one of the top earners in the company.
All because I followed my passion for health and fitness and turned that into a scalable business with other amazing women who are also out there creating thriving businesses that support their families.
I love learning how to lead others, how to create duplicatable systems to help the team grow and I get so much joy in seeing my team succeed.
In 2019, I brainstormed with one of my top leaders and together we launched a company called Chic Influencer. Our vision for Chic Influencer is to take all of our previous years of experience in growing, scaling and navigating the challenges that come with raising our kids and building a business and teach that to others.
We were always asked how we accomplished what we had done and could we teach them how to do it too.
So in January of 2020 we launched our Chic Influencer Community which is our monthly membership where we train our #CHICTRIBE on marketing, strategy and social media storytelling. I mean, pretty much everything in between also!
We launched our podcast, Make Chic Happen in the spring of 2020. Followed by private and small group mentorships, courses and training.
I am so thankful to be able to spread my knowledge and experience to others and help as many people as possible to succeed.
I love working with people inside and outside of network marketing and I love that I can use my skills in so many different ways.
One of my passions is public speaking! You can find me speaking on stages across the United States. I’ve had the opportunity to speak at 6 of our annual conferences, many of our leadership and new leader events and local events. I love the energy in a room when the audience is soaking up every word of advice you are giving.
I am obsessed with being the best version of myself that I can be! I love my work and I am excited about the current opportunities and future ones to come.
When I’m not working on Chic or Beachbody you can find me hanging with my two boys. We love watching our boys play basketball and baseball. We love eating out and trying new cocktails. We love hanging out as a family and traveling or snuggled up on the couch watching a movie. Family is my EVERYTHING!!!
I strive to not just be an excellent business owner but an amazing mom and wife.
Make sure to follow me on Instagram to stay up to date on all my newest launches, products and events!
How can I best serve you?
We can work together in a few different ways. If you are looking to start your own Beachbody business, you can learn more about Beachbody Business Mentorships here.
