Donna: Carolyn Whitaker. Caroline: So happy to be here. Thank you. Donna: And before you move on I thought here are two brunettes and we got our beautiful—so tell us what you do. Tell them what you do. Caroline: I am a lifestyle fitness coach actually. And what I do, I'm a Mona Lisa speaker and I am also the spokesperson for the Live International Company. They provide products that are holistic. Donna, you would love them because they truly transform your inner self. When you transform your inner self, then your outer self follows beautifully. Donna: Can I look like you? It's a clerical dreams, I love it. Caroline: I do a modern different things and I'm a mom number one. Family first always, my husband, my children are first in my life. So, and I do that and I have my hobbies. I do my horses and have my horses in my backyard. I have a beautiful barn that my husband built for me. Donna: How many women have a barn that their husband built for them? Caroline: And I also build homes for movie. I'm a contractor. Donna: You're a contractor? Caroline: I am. Donna: The general contractor/ Caroline: A general contractor, I own a company called Garden gate Homes. And so I have to tell you at this barn, it's what brought this up actually. What we do is we build a new subdivision. And there’s an older home/ I know you're going to love this Donna. There’s older home behind our home, a lot. And I told my husband is older and there were some you know lots of different people coming and going all the time. And I didn’t realize that we chose that lot. I was the first to choose the lot out of the entire subdivision. I was connected with the developer and so he let me choose very first. So anyway, so I told my husband I said “sweetheart, we’re going to buy that home. We’re going to tear it down and build a barn”. He’s like “Okay then”. And he said “we will, we will. I want to se who gets by then.” I went a line, I found my dream bar, I put it up, I put it on my vision board, I visualized every night. I go upstairs I put my children to bed, we have prayers together. I go up and I look up the blindness of the night and my little boy, he was at the time, he was four, he was like, “Mommy what are you doing?” I'm like “I'm looking at our horses in our barn.” He was like, “Okay—“ there were no horses and—he was like, “oh okay.” But I thought our children the power of visualization, the power of thought, the power of energy, the power of our heavenly father and how—if you use it your intention and it is meant to be in your life, it will happen. So anyway, so we did that and about I’d say three months later—the house went up for sale, we bought it, tore it down and built our barn and my husband, this is what I love so much, my husband he was like, I was like “hey I was getting ready to call over my subs.” And he’s home, “Oh no babe I'm building that for you.” Like what? He does computers for a living, he’s an IT engineer. He has his own IT Company for—anyway so I'm like, what? You're going to build my barn. But guess what, he did and he did it within three months and our horses are in the backyard and when I walk into that barn, talking about having the attitude of gratitude and being grateful and living in the now and living off in that stuff as we've been talking about which I love so much, I can't even tell you how much I love that. Donna: Yes, yes. Caroline: Every time I walk up to our barn, I kid you not, the entire way I'm walking to the barn and back, I'm just saying thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so grateful for my barn and my horses. Oh I'm just really—isn’t that funny? I'm here this is my world. So anyway, I do help people for a living as a fitness and lifestyle coach. So truly what you visualize materializes literally. If it’s meant to be, it will be. So that’s my fun little story. Donna: That’s a great story. Caroline: I love it. Donna: So what do you do when you teach people, what do you teach them? Caroline: Okay, going along with Donna, I was just in fact—at the break, I was just telling Donna, we are so much alike in our teaching it’s like it’s so fun. Donna: I love it. Caroline: Yeah it’s almost amazing. It’s like—yes seriously it’s like, what is she talking like? Everything she say—yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But what I do is I teach people, people come to me and say, “Carol, I want a body like yours.” I've been a fitness model for 15 years and I was very sick as a child. I had rheumatic fever and from there I had—I was on—and about it for six years and got chronic fatigue syndrome, I was in bed and as a young mother, my children I just have to say a prayer and say, please bless them and protect them. I can't stay up and just close my doors, I truly just trust that they be protected and they always were. But, through our experiences, as you said, our life experiences, we can choose to be happy and we can choose as to the beauty in our experiences that creates who we are today. So, when I was so sick as a young child, I wanted to be as a young mother, excuse me I was in my early 20s. I'm like, yeah I don’t wasn’t this life. I don’t want to be sick anymore. I don’t want to feel weak and I don’t want to be this way. I'm out of my chosen role and so I started really researching and getting to energy work and the powers of the universal laws, the laws are so powerful and we’re all creators. Are we not? Donna: Absolutely. Caroline: I mean truly, we’re literally just amazing. So anyway, so I started really tapping into that and as I did that, my body just start to transform and my fatigue just sort of melted away, I had more energy, I started working out, I started lifting weight. I've always been a workout queen. I was always out taking my little aerobics you know, through high school and stuff and by the way, I’m turning 40 next week. Donna: Wow! Happy Birthday! Caroline: Why do you say that out loud? Donna: When you look like that, you're proud of that. Caroline: Yes it’s really true but it’s really true that somewhat I started incorporating this new way of life and way of thinking and I thought, how do you share this with the world? Donna: Yes. Caroline: This is a gift from my heavenly father and I need to share this with the world, plain and simple and so— Donna: That’s when you started creating— Caroline: I did, yes. Donna: Okay. Caroline: And people started coming to me and say “Carol, what are you doing? I want to be like you. How do you transform your body and your life?” And you know as soon as I started transforming my thought process and becoming creative rather than going with the flow and my life create me, my entire world changed. Anything I put my mind to, and I'm not trying to say this in any type of ego, pride or anything but anything I put my mind to can—if it was meant to be it came to—and so I've got my cute mother, if I say I want this, oh Carol, Carol, Carol. Don’t say that.
