How do you describe yourself? Leader? Follower?

As I was sitting outside today enjoying some quiet time to myself and about to begin reading my personal development, I came across this little quote on a photo app that I have... "Be the lead character in your life!"

It really got me thinking, how do you think of yourself at this very moment? Do you tend to follow the actions of others? Need them to give you that extra umph to get started on your journey, or are you the one who is giving that extra push. Taking leads on the projects coming up. Being the voice in the crowd?


I use to be the follower. I use to not know what I wanted to do in this life. I use to hide behind everyone and let them take charge. I was a very shy girl growing up so I was afraid of people's opinions, I was afraid of what people my say about my ideas, and I was just afraid of being judged for the way I wanted to do things. Well, that's the beauty of my Beachbody business... I am the boss! I make the rules on how I want to run my business. I get to call the shots.

A leader is defined as a person who leads or commands a person or group! It's not that I want to lead my team or give them commands... I want to them to duplicate my actions! Become leaders themselves. I don't want them to hide behind me or shy away from an amazing opportunity... I want them to flourish and become the brightest star possible! Everyone is capable of being an amazing leader, it takes practice, trial and error, determination and will.

With that being said, I am looking to mentor 10 women in the month of May! I want to create leaders who are going to take over this universe! Who are ready to take charge of their lives. Design a life they love. Create freedom for their families and become so incredibly comfortable with themselves that they want to share all these wonderful joys in life with everyone they come in contact with!

If you would like to be considered for this exclusive coach apprenticeship beginning May 26th, please complete the form below and I will contact you with more details regarding this group! I will be extremely selective with choosing the ten women. You must be willing to be active within the group, able to work with others, encourage those others around you and want to live a life you can be proud of! This journey in life we are on... you determine how you live it! Create a life that you can look back on and be proud of it! <3
*Design your dream life*

Proud Daughter Moment!! :)

Today was an extremely proud daughter moment for me! I was chatting with my mom a couple weeks ago and recently learned that she had committed to getting a gym membership! As her only daughter who has such a huge passion for health and fitness, I was beyond ecstatic. We never really talked too much but after chatting with her everyday after that call and saw that she was totally committed, I thought about mentioning to her about this super awesome Shakeology Sampler that Beachbody just released (read on to hear more about this awesome new product). It was perfect for her because she could sample all six flavors of Shakeology that we offer. I don't recall her ever drinking any nutritional shakes and thought it would be the perfect addition to her health and fitness journey!

I spoke with her today and she had mentioned that she really enjoyed her shake! She was excited because she had so much energy and the taste was great! :) I was seriously just jumping for joy because my mom has always been the type to put everyone before her. She would always ensure everyone else's needs were met before hers which in turn, caused her own needs (health) to be placed on the back burner. She finally realized that she was done with the excuses and she wanted a change! I couldn't have been more proud of my mother for this!

What amazes me even more is that she was able to experience some of the amazing benefits of Shakeoogy right after having the shake! She had long lasting energy that helped her keep active all day! Do protein shakes do that? Probably not which what makes Shakeology so unique. Shakeology IS NOT (and I repeat, IS NOT) a protein shake. It is an all-natural, superfood packed nutritional shake! It has more than just protein. It has those Superfoods that help fight against inflammation (which is the leading cause to most diseases!!!) Shakeology helps regulate your digestive system and gives you some long lasting energy! But yes, Shakeology will assist in your weight loss journey but it is not designed strictly for weight loss. It is designed to ensure you are getting PROPER nutrition which in our society, is ignored most of the time. People lack time, are always on the go and would rather accommodate their growling tummy with a quick and easy trip through the nearest driveby.. but yes another added benefit to Shakeology is the simple fact that it is quick, easy and super convenient!! If you would like to take a leap of faith, and just go with your gut feeling and give Shakeology a go, email me at StephMcClintock@teambeachbody.com!!

Order the Shakeology Sampler!

Going back to my mother's situation where she constantly neglected her own health after having her children and then of course grandchildren.. I want to make it very aware to you that YOU are worth so much more than you think! Every single person, no matter how busy you are, how much stress you are under, who all you are caring for, etc. deserves to have their needs fulfilled just as much as everyone around them. YOU have to be ok with allowing yourself some type of success, happiness, and fulfillment in life!

Wouldn't life be wonderful if you could be surrounded by uplifting, inspiring, and motivating individuals? People who understood the struggles you experience in life, but also could share tips and tricks on ways to overcome those struggles? What if you could stop the negative self-talk? What if you could design a life you were proud of and you actually loved! If you answered yes to any of these questions, I want you to join our Fit Squad! Fill out the questionnaire below and I will contact you about an amazing opportunity you will not want to miss out on.

You Get What You Need NOT What You Want!

I think some people try to take this life for granted. They are always wanting more, they never stop to take a look at what they do have. For instance, I have clean, fresh air to breath in. Freedom to do whatever I choose. I have a roof over my head. Food in my cupboards. Heat to warm my house. A bed to lay in at night. These are all things that we seem to take for granted, day in and day out! Which as I am sure you can all agree too, it is not right. We should be grateful for these things as others may not have any of the above.

As you grow up, the ignorance between the wants and needs in life will finally begin to make much more sense to you! You will understand that you will not always get in life what you want when you want it but rather, when you need it! (e.g. that awesome promotion at work, the baby you've been wishing for, that significant other, a new home, landing that amazing job, etc.) It may take weeks, months, years and years of stress, discouraging moments and even heartache, but your life is exactly how it is supposed to be right at this very moment.

Recent experiences in my own life have caused me to question, why exactly I can't get what I want right now. I have been working extremely hard. I have been doing everything I should be doing. I have been helping others find their happiness, yet what I want has not yet been given to me. I know that it will be ok though. I have came to terms with there being a plan in place for everything in life. God has given me this life because he knows I can handle it. He knows that I will be a fighter and never give up!

No matter what you may be going through in life, know that there are people out there that wish they had what you have. Stop focusing on the things you don't have and start enjoying the things you do have. This thing we call life, we only get one shot at it. There is no trial run, no second chance... this life is a one time deal. You have to make the most of it and enjoy the blessings. Whenever it is meant to happen, and it will happen, you will totally understand!

If you are struggling with coming to terms with recent experiences in life, I want to invite you to be a part of a community of uplifting and inspiring individuals! Individuals who have helped me realize some of the above! I don't always find happiness with why the things I want have not yet been given to me, but I know there is a plan. Know that it is ok to be frustrated, but don't dwell on it. For more information, please email me at stephainemcclintock@gmail.com or fill out the form below!

You Can Call the Shots!

As I sit here and look back on the last couple years of life, I know that I am traveling down the right path God has placed before me. I have really dived into creating a positive environment for myself. I knew that as much as it would hurt I had to remove some of the negative individuals who were constantly trying to pull me down. It's not that you are being selfish or overreacting, you have to surround yourself with positive, uplifting, inspiring people to live a positive life! You only get one life, why spend it sulking and completely miserable, NO THANKS!

Over the 14 months of being a coach, I have changed my thought process and finally got a grip of living life to the fullest. There is no need to spend your life miserable if you don't have to. As they say, YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR HAPPINESS! No one has the authority to make you feel inferior without your consent.

I want to extend an invitation to you to began creating a life you love, and one you can be proud of! Through an incredibly inspiring group of people who share the same passion as I do, I knew that there was so much to this crazy, beautiful life. I began investing in myself, taking up personal development, putting my happiness first, and started believing in myself. I have gained confidence. I have lost thirty pounds. I do not hate the girl I see in the mirror anymore. I have grew a happier and stronger relationship with my husband. I have relieved myself of thousands dollars worth of debt.

This opportunity is for anyone and everyone. There is not one individual too far stuck in a rut, or one who is too busy. This opportunity works for each and every individual who is willing to put forth 10-15+ a day to create a happier and healthier lifestyle for themselves and maybe even their family. You don't have to follow a specific outline, you don't need any certification, and the best part... THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO DO THIS!! You call the shots, determine how fast or slow you go! This journey can take you places you've never even imagined!!

Stop listening to that voice in your head telling you, you can't achieve anything.  God is for you, who dare be against you. Don't let your mind hold you back from a life full of happiness!!

Believing in You!

How many of you can relate to constantly comparing yourself to others?! Guilty as charged!! Not something I am proud of but honestly, I am growing out of that stage! Slowly but surely. It is so hard to understand the value of your own self because the media, friends, acquaintances or maybe even family members are simply saying, "I wish I was more like so and so, or my life is never going to be like that."

SERIOUSLY, I did that my entire teenage years even into my late 20s, and it got me absolutely nowhere except for self loathing. I hated the living situation I was in, I hated my figure. I hated my freckles. My wavy hair. I always criticized myself because I wasn't like others and I never thought I could be like them, pretty much like there was NOTHING in this world I could do to change any of that. These people had lots of money. No worries in the world. Gorgeous hair. Beautiful home. Supportive family. They were thin. I could seriously go on... but here is the thing I didn't realize.

No one could ever be me. No one could ever offer the advice like I do. No one has the same thoughts as me. No one could put up a fight like I did to change ALL OF THE ABOVE! No one will EVER be ME! I am unique. I am special. I am beautiful in my own special way. It is extremely important to understand the value of self love and to realize you are God's gift to this earth... and you are truly amazing!

Now I never always believed in myself, and it honestly wasn't until just last year (yep, that's right.... 27 years old) that I really got a grip on self confidence, self love and being thankful for being myself. Actually it was only a short 7 months ago that I began to understand how much of an impact I am making on this world. How did I do it?

Personal Development?! What the heck is that, you are probably asking.... It is INVESTING IN YOURSELF! Reading self help books, learn ways to improve your life. Learn ways to believe in yourself. Learn ways to become better at a certain skill, etc. I know you are probably thinking I am crazy, and those books a bunch of crap, but seriously it helps... WHY DOES IT HELP? Because you realize, that your life is typically no worse than some of the greatest leaders and entrepreneurs in this world. You realize that maybe they even had it worse off than you did and are doing INCREDIBLE things. You realize that you are absolutely strong enough to be exactly like them and create a happier lifestyle!!

Another tip I want to share with you to believe in yourself and be more confident would be to surround yourself with positive, uplifting people! People who always are telling you to keep your head up. To keep fighting when you want to give up. People who are making this world a brighter place! They say that you are the average of the five people you hang out with the most.. Sooooo, if you are surrounding yourself with self-loathing, lazy, miserable people, chances are that is exactly how you will become!! You have to cut your ties with these people who bring you down. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and want to help you become this amazing person who understands that he/she is absolutely amazing!

Now this doesn't happen overnight and it is a long road to recovery, and I know that it will be hard... but when you look back a year from now and say "wow, I never really noticed how negative I was and I am so thankful for this life I wake up to EVERY SINGLE DAY now..." your ENTIRE LIFE has changed. You will be thankful for every rain drop, every sunny day, every person that comes in and out of your life, and EVERY SINGLE STRUGGLE you've gone through because it helped you get to this exact moment!

I want to leave you with a quote from a "self-help/confidence booster" book that I am reading, and I want you to really think about this!

"If you base your self worth on what everyone else thinks of you, you hand all your power over to other people and become dependent on a source outside of yourself for validation. Then you wind up chasing something you have no control over."


Realizing how amazing you are and what you have to offer to this world is truly something special. Know that I think you are such a wonderful gift to this earth & people who have you in theirs are extremely lucky! You are absolutely amazing! Never forget that!

BeachBody - Super Saturday, September 27th

As you all may know I am a Team Beachbody coach! This business makes my heart so happy! The motto explains everything ... "Help People Achieve Their Goals to Lead Healthy Fulfilling Lives!"

BOOM. That is what this is all about! Helping people.... That is what we do as a company, and I am so incredibly blessed to be a part of something so big and so rewarding!

On Saturday, September 27th, we had this AMAZING event, it's called Super Saturday. It is an event to bring together all the Team Beachbody Coaches in the regions across the nation. During this event you get to hear success stories from the customers as well as the coaches, we get to learn about some general information regarding the future of Beachbody and what I love most about this event is hearing from the top leaders in this company! That's right - we get training from the Top Coaches in Beachbody, the number 1 coach to be exact!! (That's right - the number one coach in Beachbody is from the Pittsburgh area!!) How awesome is that??!?!

When you get to network with hundreds of people who are on this same path as you and are extremely passionate about the same things in life, it is such an amazing atmosphere! I couldn't be more proud to be apart of something much larger than I can even explain! We all have that one thing in common -- it is to #EndTheTrend of obesity!

After our training session, the Pittsburgh area Master Trainer, Kam Niskach, KICKED OUR BEHINDS like no other! We got a live workout with her, a combination of Insanity and PiYo. If you want to SWEAT and get a KICKA$$, intense workout - I want you to attend one of her classes. #KILLER and her energy she brings is absolutely amazing. The adrenaline rush and the high from this workout was so awesome. These workouts really focus on your inner strength and mental drive. You get to push yourself further than you ever thought you could go and that is what I love about Beachbody! Pulls you so far out of your comfort zone that you're more comfortable BEING UNCOMFORTABLE!

These events are not just for learning about the company and working out, they are for networking and bonding with your team members. These girls/guys are a huge support system in this business. They are the ones who are always there pushing you to do better and believing you are capable of achieving great things. This team you see to the right, they are supporters, motivators, comedians, and most importantly an amazing group of people who I am so thankful to call my friends! I may not have known them my entire life, and maybe not even 6 months, but they hold a very special place in my heart. 

If this event is something you would love to be apart of, January 9th --- mark your calendars, please email me at tbbcoschsteph87@gmail.com! I am so excited for the next event and I want you to come along with me!!
