Introducing Dorothy: Your Host on This Journey

Dorothy McGatlin is a mother of two from sunny Arizona. After finishing college, she joined Teach for America and taught middle school for seven years in South LA. She taught 6th-grade math, science, and English. But Dorothy's dedication didn't end there; she also founded the school's dance program.

However, as a loving mom, she realized that it was difficult to meet her own needs while also caring for her family and her career. So, she made a brave decision. Dorothy shifted gears, becoming an in-person Pilates and fitness instructor. Today, she works as an online health and fitness transformation coach.

Dorothy's diverse background and experiences make her the ideal guide for this journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and transformation.

This journey is about breaking free from societal pressures and self-doubt to chase your dreams, whether achieving your ideal body, running a thriving business, or excelling in every facet of your life.

Choose Faith Over Fear

I want to share a quote that got me thinking: "Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see."

We often struggle with this choice between faith and fear. Fear may come more naturally due to our need for protection, but choosing faith is an intentional choice. It means recognizing that fear exists, noticing it, and choosing faith anyway.

Faith isn't always easy to choose; it takes extra work. If you want to see the good that can come from a situation, you have to push past your fears. If you've been held back by fear, there's nothing wrong with you. Taking chances is scary, so we often opt for the safe option. But remember that shame won't help you get anywhere.

What is inspiring about this quote is that you can always see things differently. It might take work, but it's worth it. Sometimes, fear comes from worrying about what other people think. Regardless, people will judge you. So, go ahead and follow your dreams, listen to your heart, live your purpose, run your race, and do your thing. To choose faith over fear is to open up a world of possibilities.
