Building the Fit Goddess Mindset

Jara, mother of two boys, has been living with her family in Hampton, Virginia since 2019. Prior
to children She held several job titles ranging from waitress to executive assistant. She graduated
from Norfolk State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Currently she is a
ceritified Personal Trainer,  Transformation Speaker, Author and she is also certified in 1st Aid, AED, and CPR.

After children she found herself heavier than she had ever been weighing aproximately 240 lbs. At the time she had been telling her oldest son, then 5 that the three main components to a healthy life included 1. Eating, 2.
Sleeping and 3. Exercising. Soon she realized she wasn’t following her own words, and
immediately decided upon a gym membership with the YMCA. After enrolling, she began
trying class after class until she fell in love with Zumba. After about a year of consistency she
required more challenge and got introduced to the then Hip Hop Class, now called
MIXXEDFIT. There she learned dealt with some harsh truths about her own self love. Through
discipline and consistency she began to witness not only her physical form change but her
mindset change.
