Hello dear reader!

Time to highlight another small, independent business! Today we spoke with Margaret Shea, who is an Independent Health Coach for Optavia. Optavia is a program that offers guidance and inspiration on your journey to better health. We are very honored to have Margarets story in her own words, so settle in and read what this lovely lady has to tell us!

Finding a solution for a life-long struggle

We asked Margaret to tell us a bit about herself and what led her to become a Health Coach. She says, “As a 65-year-old woman who has struggled with my weight all my life, I’m excited to say that I’ve found recovery and gained optimal health by being an Independent Health Coach with Optavia for over five years now.”

She continues, “As your health coach, I will be there to guide you every step of the way, and we have a community of like-minded people that provide encouragement and support as well. Optavia also provides clinically proven plans and scientifically developed products that will help with the nutritional component of your program, and last but certainly not least, we have our Habits of Health Transformation System that offers steps to a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.”

Getting started in the process

Once Margaret found a system that worked for her, she wanted to help others too. She had this to say about her original motives and how they in turn, changed her life.
“My husband and I did the Optavia program together and were very successful.  My decision to become an Independent Health Coach with Optavia was based on a selfish motive; I wanted to maintain my weight loss this time around and I knew that being a coach would keep me accountable. Throughout my life I have lost weight and gained it back more times than I care to remember. Today, I have maintained my weight loss for over five years and being a coach is no longer a selfish motive because I truly love to help others get healthy! When my clients tell me that their lives have improved both physically and mentally because of the  program, I am bursting with pride for them and their accomplishments. I’m not exaggerating when I say that following the Optavia program and getting healthy, and now helping others achieve their best health, has been life changing for me.”

The community she serves

When we talked about the people she helps, and what she has learned along the way, Margaret had this to say.

“All of my clients contact me because they want to lose weight, and you will indeed lose weight if you follow the Optavia program.  But if you want long-term success and optimal health, it’s  important that you change your mindset; our Habits of Health system will help with that. I’ve finally learned that reaching a certain number on the scale does not equate to happiness.  Although society conditions us to believe that “skinny” equates to healthy, this is not necessarily true.  Health is a combination of so many factors, and healthy looks different for everyone.”

Her best advice in achieving this? She says “I suggest that you focus on getting strong, confident and healthy (instead of focusing on the number on the scale). With Optavia’s coaching and community support, our Habits of Health Transformation System, and the nutritional portion of the program, you can achieve YOUR healthy.”

Contributing to the betterment of society, by bringing out your best

We are all trying to find light in these times. We love sharing with you, dear reader, people’s efforts to be that light. When we asked Margaret our ever-constant question to everyone we talk with, she stated “I feel that Optavia makes our lives and the world a better place because how you treat others is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.  And ever since I started with program, I am treating myself better, and in turn I’m treating others better. If you’re thinking about getting healthy, please feel free to reach out to me. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey to better health.”

We agree! Thank you Margaret for helping others find the best versions of themselves! We believe that good health is so much more that how good you look in the clothes you wear. It includes feeling your best and treating others with love too!

Sharing is caring!

Some of our goals at SpiderRain are creating community and bringing awareness about small businesses, in addition to other things. We want to see people like this have an environment where they can thrive, and by telling you about them, and the work they do, they can get better visibility and in turn, more opportunities to sell their wares or services. To learn more about other small businesses, we post their stories here.

So we leave it to you, dear reader to share the links to these stories with your friends and help these amazing people make the world a more beautiful place. Wouldn’t you just love to know that you are part of positive change? If we all work together, we can make it happen!

Love, SpiderRain
