Relentless Positivity

I am a native of Huntsville. Graduated from Grissom in 1995, went to the Harvard of the South Calhoun Community College, and then got my degree from Auburn. I have been a fitness professional since 2000 and had my own business Huntsville Adventure Boot Camp For Women since 2009. I’ve written best-selling books, I won Huntsville’s Healthiest Trainer, my business won The Best Place For Women In Huntsville To Workout, and busted my chin doing The Worm.

I started my podcast during the pandemic to combat all the negativity I was seeing and experiencing in the world. In the show, I highlight positive news stories, interview people making the world a better place, and drop the occasional dad joke.
