Making It Count: What Happens Between Fear and the Finish Line

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when life forces you to start over…and you actually listen?In this episode of Becoming Lotus, I sit down with Jessie Thomas, founder of Farm Girl Fitness—an anomaly in the fitness world and a space that has become so much more than a gym.Set on an 88-acre farm, workouts take place in a converted barn, out in the fresh air, and within a community that values connection over comparison.After losing her job during the pandemic, Jessie didn’t have a plan…but she started anyway.What began with four people, hay bales, and uncertainty has grown into something rare—a space where people don’t come to shrink themselves, but to expand into who they are.We talk about:Starting before you feel readyWhy fear is often the beginning—not the barrierThe truth about competition (it’s you vs. you)How consistency quietly changes everythingAnd why what you build in fitness carries into every part of your lifeThis isn’t just about workouts.It’s about identity.It’s about showing up.It’s about becoming.If you’ve ever thought “I don’t know if I can do this”…this episode is your reminder that maybe you can.📍 The next DEKA event at Farm Girl Fitness is May 3rd.Come compete—or just come watch and feel the energy. You might surprise yourself.Because it’s never too late to start.Until next time—keep rising, keep blooming, and keep soaking it all in.  If this episode spoke to you, please share it with someone who might need to hear it and it would be greatly appreciated if you would  take a moment to write a review.  Subscribe to Becoming Lotus so you never miss an episode.📖 Explore my book I AM LOTUS and my life coaching offerings at tamaraoshaughnessy.com  Instagram – @soakingitallin
