We had the good fortune of connecting with Libra Hicks and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Libra, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Fitmom Fitness Situation is everything I needed in a coach when I struggled to get my life in order. I had no honest guidance on how to obtain better. So, I created that outlet, and now that I understand how to navigate the weight loss world, I am giving those struggling the gems to cross the finish line and win the battle against poor health and wealth.
Dropping 110lbs was not easy and not for the faint heart. Dropping that kind of weight and not backsliding is rare. I am not saying it doesn’t happen and that I am some phenomenon; what I am saying is that it’s not easy, and it is rare for someone to keep the weight consistently. Creating this level of mental and physical discipline required me to show up fully with no excuses. I had no coach who pushed me over the edge so I could truly build my wings. I had to throw myself off the cliff and ensure that I wouldn’t crash face-first.
Fitmom Fitness Situation is an ONLINE fitness situation that can be accessed anywhere in the USA. I have clients in New York, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Maryland, and Georgia. This situation I created allows you to reduce stress by leaving your home and going to the gym. Going to the gym feels like a job. I mean, when you go, you aren’t sure of what to do; you’re just doing shit you saw someone else doing, not confident if what you are doing is truly what you should be doing to reach maximum results.
I see clearly how much we are broken down physically and mentally. Though I agree that some of the pressure and stress we experience is systemically designed this way, I also believe that most of what we experience daily is self-inflicted. Suppose I can teach other women who are just like me how to evolve and flip their poor mental and physical health to stellar? This will reduce the need for medical intervention. We can truly thrive with minimal assistance from the medical world. That will reduce stress and lower medical expenses, which will help you save money or use those funds that are now free to pay off debt.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets Fitmom Fitness Situation apart is my level of interaction with my Fitmom Crew. My crew is currently fighting what I once had to fight; they are why I am here and learning new things outside of experience. Experiencing the weight loss process helped me understand each emotional phase a woman experiences during her weight loss journey.
I am most proud of my ability to say I conquered my demons and gained knowledge that will allow me to help others conquer their demons. I haven’t gone backward to a slum lifestyle. It’s been a consistent ride for 7 years and keeps improving! I am proud of the discipline I’ve built and not broken. I have formed habits that allow me to show up fully for my life in ways I didn’t think were possible. I am living beyond the visions I had for myself. My growth is one to be proud of.
I got to where I am business-wise through the pain and suffering of my personal growth. It was through my willingness to lose everything familiar to gain something better. Before I could coach others into their best version, I had first to coach myself. I had to first teach myself, through trial and error, how to save myself from myself. My business consists of EVERYTHING that helped me win. This process is for the long haul; It’s a slow process that will be one of the most challenging yet rewarding things you will ever do.
This growth was NOT easy at all. I mean, this was the HARDEST situation I had to conquer. Many nights and days of suffering, releasing, addressing, etc. This was highly personal, and I needed to win. I didn’t want to pass down pain and suffering to my children. They don’t deserve to carry what is now my load. They deserve to be free from the pain and suffering of trauma that doesn’t belong to them. I overcame the battle of poor health and wellness by doing it even when I didn’t want to and doing it no matter what. I made no room to talk myself out of the process. I was tired of doing the same thing to self-sabotage and lose. I legit stayed in the fight. I kept digging for information that allowed me to win this battle.
I learned never to lie or quit on myself. Lying and quitting are the worst forms of self-sabotage. I realized we tend to find ways to coerce others to buy into our lies. We aren’t honest with others about where we are and the help we need to make it to the next moment. I learned that you must communicate that you need love assistance to receive love and assistance.
I want the world to know that you can access my program anywhere. That’s the beauty of this situation; it’s for women anywhere who need a village of support to conquer their desires. This space is safe, loving, and productive for your growth. If you want to take back your life, I will help you ride the wave.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting Atlanta, I would have the following itinerary planned for the week:
We would eat at a few places: Plant-Based Zo, Scrum-did-ly-ump-tious, Psalm 78, Postinos, Delbar.
Drinks are available at the following locations: Psalm 78, Postions, Tequila Mama, Apt 4B, and Delbar.
We would visit a few museums and dance spots: SCAD Fashion Museum, High Museum (Friday Jazz), Garden Parc, and Apt 4B.
I love going to Ponce City Market, patronizing the shops and eateries. I also enjoy walking the Beltline and patronizing the shops and eateries during the walk.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shout out to Suwannee Meditation for helping me release the trauma and learn to adapt to new ways of thinking and living. This has allowed me to be more free-thinking and see life for what it is in the moment and what it could be if I dream big and consistently manifest.
