YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND. 

You have within you a genius, a badass, a beautiful source of love. It is your awesome… and it has all the answers.

It is your roadmap to the life you want, and the ticket you need to get there.

But over the years, your awesome has been squashed under what constitutes “proper” behavior in today’s society.


It has been bullied into submission by people who were trying to protect you from failure.

It has been pushed aside in order to better fit into the mold that other people have created for you.

IT'S TIME TO SET YOUR AWESOME FREE.

Worry is not an expression of love. It’s an expression of fear. . And putting our fears on other beings is not only rude and gross (it’s like handing someone our 💩), it’s unhelpful. . So please, before you send a dark cloud of worry to another creature or to your own beautiful soul, flip the script and send love, light, blessings, magic, and goodness instead. ❤️
What’s on the other side of surrender? . Peace. The peace that comes with remembering that: . ✨everything happens FOR us, not TO us. . ✨when we don’t get what we want, it means that something better is coming our way. . . #findyourawesome #surrender #bettysquad19 #triathlete #confidencecoach #usatagegroupnationals #mindfulnesscoach #beyou #belove #chooselove #bejoy #befree #becurious #bebrave
S U R R E N D E R. . Two weeks ago, my heel started hurting on an easy run. I sought help from the most loving, magical, powerful practitioners, but still went into a triple race weekend at Nationals completely uncertain of my ability to run. . I was optimistic and hopeful and trusted like a mofo throughout race week, but when it hurt during the run into T1 in Saturday’s Olympic-distance race, I knew there was a very real chance I wasn’t running the final leg of my race. . It hurt coming out of T2, but I still thought there was a teeny tiny chance I might be able to keep going. And .88 of a mile in, the pain magnified. And so I surrendered; I started walking. . Surrender was so much harder than I imagined. Each step I walked, not ran, felt like a brand new surrender. . I thought it would be easier. I thought I could high-five the athletes around me as I walked. I thought I could turn it into a celebration, but we were the last wave with a delayed start. And as I walked, I went from the top 20% in my age group to 118th out of 147. . And as I walked, I felt tears brewing deep inside me. They didn’t flow before the finish line, but they gathered at the base of my throat, leaving me breathless. This is surrender. . As an athlete, this was hard. As a human, this was hard. But this felt bigger. I felt this on a soul level. Those tears came from my soul. . I thought I could use my 10k walk to give to others, but apparently this weekend wasn’t about giving. It was about receiving. It was about letting go, f-ing surrendering and receiving love from others wholeheartedly. . Thank you. . . #bettysquad19 #confidencecoach #surrender #doepicshit #triathlete #beyou #belove #chooselove #bejoy #befree #becurious #bebrave #findyourawesome

Thanks @everybodyisabetty! ・・・ Q&A with 6th year OG #bettysquad team member Kelsey Abbott @kelseyabbottcpc now living in Sarasota FL after 10 years in Maine with her husband, and then they spent 16 months traveling the US in a camper! . Tell us about your career outside of triathlon! I’m a Confidence Coach + Instigator of Joy and I host The Find Your Awesome Podcast. . How did you get started in triathlon? A week into grad school (for marine biology), one of my new friends asked if I wanted to do a triathlon at the marine lab in 2 weeks. The idea scared me so I said “yes.” A year later, I signed up for a race and actually trained for it. From that point on, I was hooked. . Fave race distance? Sprint! I love the insanity of it. . Fave event? The Pumpkinman Triathlon Festival in Maine has a solid place in my heart. I raced my first two 70.3s there and raced the sprint after 8 weeks of pneumonia. Another year, I adopted a mantra that I read on the back of an RV: “If there’s anything left, we miscalculated.” I finished the sprint that year with my first successful “calculation,” leaving everything on the course. . What inspires you?Everything. Humans being brave. Animals being present. Mother Nature showing off. . What are your race plans for 2019? I’ve got USAT Nationals (open water swim, Olympic and sprint) in Cleveland and ITU Worlds in Switzerland coming up in August. . What is your most memorable athletic memory? Running to the finish line with an 🇺🇸 at my first ITU Worlds in Auckland, NZ 2012. . Tell us one of your non-athletic hobbies!I love hanging out with my dog Makai. He’s the best mindfulness teacher I know. . #bettydesigns #everyBODYisabetty #doepicshit #stylishAF #badassisbeautiful #bettysquad19
