Today we’d like to introduce you to Marie Miceli.
Hi Marie, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am a Professional Third-Party Information and Security Risk Manager at a Fortune 500 in the Insurance Industry. An honorably discharged Air Force Combat Disabled Veteran with PTSD, exercise-induced asthma, wife, mother of two, and a natural bikini bodybuilding competitor.
I spent nearly a decade trying every fad and crash diet available in an attempt to take control of my health with a lot of failure and disappointment. Then I discovered the only “diet” that would work for me was the one that I enjoyed as a lifestyle change, and I adjusted my mindset as to how I looked at food and exercise.
All I want is for my clients to find the same path. I am here to share my knowledge, tips, and tricks to help them take control of their life through sustainable healthy habits, nutrition, and exercise programming.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Thankfully I have been blessed with a mentor in the health and fitness industry that has been helped me grow professionally. However, there are struggles as I am competing with large corporations and local established businesses in a small town.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Starting at a very young age, I started to emotionally eat due to personal trauma I was experiencing thus my weight skyrocketed out of control by the time I was 20 years old.
At my 21st birthday, I had that very first wake-up call where I actually for the first time “saw” myself in photos and self-reflected on what I had done to myself. I knew I needed a big change in my life and environment. About one month later, I had joined the United States Air Force, and three months later, I was off to boot camp!
What do you do, what do you specialize in / what are you known for?
I am known for being an online and local women’s life and health coach. I specialize in helping women regain control of their entire life starting with their daily habits of introducing healthy meal planning and exercise. I have found that when you work on your daily habits and physical appearance, it changes your entire life! Once you are confident in your own skin, you will show up in an entirely different light when it comes to being a wife, a mother, friend an employee or business owner. Women often put themselves last, and when we do that we are not the best version of ourselves for others.
What sets you apart from others?
I believe that I offer a unique service as I have been in their shoes, I was an emotional eating and it is something I still struggle with from time to time when there is personal trauma occurring. I understand that there is no magic pill to getting rid of habit but what I help my clients with is self-reflection. I teach them to self-reflect before and after they indulge with food. We talked about what was happening before you felt like you needed that food item, what were you feeling, when was the last time you had a balanced meal before you ate that item, and more importantly how did you mentally and physically feel after?
What are you most proud brand-wise?
I am most proud of the fact that I have attracted a lot of local women small business owners into my program, and we are all working on growing mentally, physically, and professionally together. We support and promote each of our businesses when we can, and we hold each other accountable to more than just our fitness goals.
What do you want our readers to know about your brand, offerings, services, etc?
What I would like my readers to know about my brand and offerings is that this is hard! Changing and establishing healthy daily habits takes time! There is no magic pill, shoot or diet that will give you the physique you desire. But with the right coach and support group, you can make the change if your willing to accept that this is a process!
How do you define success?
I define success with the testimonies of my clients. If they are happy and successful then I have accomplished my mission as their coach.
