Introducing Wendy Myers

I wanted to introduce you to Wendy because her story is one that is all too familiar to many people. One where people are discouraged from pursuing their dreams by other people even though they know it is what they want to do. 

Wendy describes how people told her she couldn't and at age 43 she is trying everything to keep her girls dreams alive and encourage them. She then realized that it was not too late for her and it was time for her to start living her life. She knew that is she lived just to watch her kids live their life she would have nothing once they left.

She used her memories as the fuel to make a change in her life. Leadership is influence and by Wendy making the change in her life it demonstrated to her children that she is being a good example to them and therefore influencing them to follow their dreams.

Wendy's kids support her new career even though it means that she cannot eat the same as them, however she is intentional about being there for meal times. In fact her kids are proud that she is not a "normal" mum as no one else has a body building, model for a mum.

Negative influences had held Wendy back. People telling her that she wasn't pretty or skinny lead her to starving herself which is a challenge for many youngsters and it is a behavior that needs to change.

Wendy wants her voice to tell women, and especially teenagers, to know that being strong is sexy. The runway models were traditionally seen as "pretty" but they are not real. Wendy was never going to be a six foot runway model so it made her feel bad. She now knows that having muscles is sexy and real. 

The inside beauty is also important but that story is not told. Movies show models that look amazing but Wendy describes a documentary that showed how it took 8 hours to get one actress ready for a scene - this is not normal life so we need to help teenagers realize this.

Making your body strong also helps to strengthen your mind. It takes dedication and will power to develop your fitness and sculpt your body. This is also required to advance in the corporate world in order to be better every day. 

Wendy makes sure that none of her photos are filtered as she wants to show her natural self and help people understand that you should be proud of yourself. She has a belief in herself now that helps her to realize she can follow her dreams. The trigger was removing abusive family members who were having a negative impact on her health. This step reduced her stress levels and the doctors were amazed at the difference.

Wendy has her personal training license and is also working on her nutritional license. She went to modelling classes to help her with stage presence for her body building events and this lead to her becoming a fitness model, which she never thought would be her thing.

Her biggest dream is to own a gym, Phoenix Rising. This would be focused on women and how they can feel strong and sexy in their own way. She wants to dismiss the typical stereotypes that exist to include all forms of female fitness where women embrace each other's strengths.
