A challenge turned into a passion.
A passion turned into a purpose.
Hello! My name is Brianne, and I’m a graduate of Body by Shame.
Oh, you haven’t heard of it? It’s this amazing program—free, I might add—that I subscribed to for most of my life. Here are a couple highlights:
You can’t eat carbs. Carbs are bad.
You can’t eat fat. Fat is bad.
You’re big boned, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
You really shouldn’t show off your legs. Or your arms.
Seriously, don’t eat carbs.
And then one day, I fell in love with a gentleman who was getting ready to compete in his first bodybuilding competition. I thought he was a little crazy, but I’m a classical singer, I love being on-stage—and I (humbly) rock a pair of heels. So I figured, why not give it a shot?
One competition turned into several.
I earned my Pro Card. I competed at Natural Olympia. And through it all, I found a love for fitness, strength, wellness, health and helping people! But I didn’t want to go on intuition alone—I wanted the knowledge.
So I enrolled in classes. I became certified in health coaching and personal training. And I discovered that the key is mindset—that someone’s intention is what drives their success.
That’s why I founded MentalSweat.
Because the body can only be pushed so far. It’s the mind that does the heavy lifting.
