“The sacredness and realization that “there is a breathe of life within my womb”. I wish I could’ve just skipped to this feeling. But it’s so much more powerful that I got through the stages.”

— Cathleen Benjamin

To my mommas maybe this may resonate with you. 

When I found out I was pregnant with Baby Moon 🌙 I went through stages what I call the 3 S’s. I went from being scared, to secretly knowing I had a blessing inside me, to understanding my blessing and holding it extremely sacred.  

S:1

If you’ve been following me I had a scare back in September. I had an unusual pain in my abdomen area. Had an event that morning and throughout the event kept noticing the pain get stronger and stronger. At one moment my husband looked my way and I put my head down cause I wanted him to continue his workout but next thing I knew he said let’s go we’re going to the ER. Something on my face must’ve gave it away. At this point I could barely walk to the car. Thought maybe it was something with my uterus. I knew eventually I wanted more children but something in me said this is it not going to happen. I thought all the worst thoughts and just kept crying on the way to the hospital in excruciating pain. That silent cry with tears just flowing. That day I never shared this with anyone except Kurt but spirit was w/ me. A healing mantra come to me and I silently repeated it with tears in my eyes. I felt an image in a white robe following me to the X-ray room as they wheeled me away from Kurt. They said it was kidney stones. To this day I never passed the stone. 

End of January I found out I was pregnant. I was like no way! There is no way. Immediately started freaking out frozen in fear. Like are we ready? We have so many “plans”. We just sold our condo and just moved. Physically I was immobilized. I had no motivation. Completely stopped doing anything business wise, no posts, no checkins w/ my team, friends. Everything stopped. Went in complete panic mode when no one was around. I stayed in bed for hrs crying, overthinking. I felt like I was walking on eggs shells in the beginning. The anxiety about carrying to term, about being ready (than) or again or oh shoot I prayed for this months ago, now I have this what do I do now set it and didn’t allow me to fully embody and enjoy the moment. The revelation that once again I’ve been blessed. I had my pastor pray for and over me because I was losing it. He said all the right things and that has kept me carried me through all the scary what if thoughts.  I had a talk with myself to snap the heck out of it. Than it took me back to that time in September and said God Im surrendering all my fears. Thank you 🙏🏾 

S:2 

Culturally being of Haitian descent you don’t share before the 2nd trimester. Which is technically the “safe zone” I waited until about 13/14wks because I wanted to enjoy this and hold it now that I was finding my groove again. My fears subsided. I was excited. I wanted to just hold this for me Kurt our kids and family. My favorite reaction was wow. As I was (am) wowed daily by the wonders, the grace, the miracle of carrying Baby Moon 🌙 wondering what is to come and til this day just wowed by how blessed we are because this was actually a manifestation. 

S:3 

The third “S” is magical. The sacredness and realization that “there is a breathe of life within my womb”. I wish I could’ve just skipped to this feeling. But it’s so much more powerful that I got through the stages. I have been put on an assignment to eat, drink, sleep take care of myself, my mind, my body prayerfully carrying to term another beautiful creation of God. In all its miraculousness, in all the great wonders of the world I have been granted the beautiful duty to add more light into this world.  I couldn’t be more happy, broke wide open yet guarded at the same time. What gift and assignment could be greater, more challenging, more rewarding than this. Jesus I can’t wait to hold Baby Moon 🌙

We’ve got work to do! If you’re looking for a cute workout. You’ve come to the wrong page! 

Looking for something simple to get a little sweat in and not looking for a mental and physical transformation, than keep on scrolling. 

To be honest this workout has kicked my (dang I can’t curse) every single day for the passed 5+ weeks. 

Its November and that means I can totally spill the beans about being in an Exclusive Pilot Test Group and the details of what you want to know about this cardio step beast of a workout program. 

3 chapters of this workout 

1. Commit 

2. Climb 

3. Conquer 

Its 6 days a week of cardio, endurance, fat burning, high intensity awesomeness. Monday thru Saturday. On Mondays you start of with BURN, by ridding yourself of maybe mistakes you’ve made during the weekend. Then by Tuesday you begin going FASTER, gaining momentum. Mid week you level up by getting STRONGER, you’ve now made it more than 1/2 way through the week so you are definitely becoming more POWERFUL, than you shred or CUT so you can find BALANCE(D). By the end of the week, we go into a recalibrating mode, not only to do it all over again because ALL THE WORKOUTS are different but to increase your progress. Its YOU vs YOU.

It’s GENIUS. Like mad scientist GENIUS. I’ve never done a program EVER like this before.

I’m in my head the entire time in a good way! You have to focus and constantly take your thoughts into the next level of determination. I never once said I can’t wait for this to be over. I’ll be the first to admit sometimes when it gets too hard first thought is to want to quit. In this you want to give it your all. And than it’s done. It’s only 20 mins. 

Everyday it’s excitement all over again to crush your goals. It doesn’t stop there. Each day there are three moves called TRANSFORMERS and each week you have to beat or increase your numbers from the previous week. First week not gonna lie didn’t even see it coming! But you better believe you want to bring your best you each time because you learn right away this is no walk in the park. 

Nutrition plan the most simplest one ever! Easy to follow. Simple recipes. And you’re given options so you can follow 2B Mindset while doing this program which is great because it gives you a sense of flexibility using the nutritional guide. 

My Honest Experience thus far (weeks 1-5) 

So Day 1 I was pumped, excited, happy, nervous, I’m in this secret exclusive pilot test, it’s so amazing and than I bombed the workout. Didn’t love it well because it was like with no warning the gun goes off and than the race is over...had to get use to that. 

I felt like I got caught with my pants down like all while I’m being told to keep up like whaaaa? But each day is brand new! Thats the magic and the following week you get a chance to push through a little harder, go a bit faster, find more balance and get stronger all while going through the motions.

Let’s talk about what it means to Commit, to Climb and to Conquer below.

FIRST 2 WEEKS WE COMMIT.

Ask yourself, “How bad do you want this?”

WEEKS 3-4 WE CLIMB.

This is where you’re going to have to take it up a notch. Now you’re already committed to yourself, you’re going to find the power within to climb whatever hurdle you’re found yourself in before. No more, cause we’re climbing!

WEEKS 5-6 WE CONQUER.

Get to a level where you’ve committed, you have now already climbed, now you conquer. You conquer your mind, your goals whether its on and off the scale. You learn you are more than capable to conquer anything in 20minutes.

Are you EXCITED yet? Cause this is going to change your life on so many levels.
