Proud of you!
Source: lindseblueOne of my favorite rewards of being a coach is getting to know my clients outside of training. Their love of a great outdoor work out brings them all together, but beyond kettle bells and run ladders they could not be more unique
Sophie Parrott came to my Ramsey Park class in August and she has become not only a favorite client, but a great friend. With her fiery red hair and boisterous, English personality (she is from Kent, England - accent included) it is hard not to fall in love with her.
Late fall, Sophie started her own company - The Marvelous Tea Party Co - an event planning company that specializes in throwing vintage-style tea parties. She asked me to help hostess an event for a photo shoot in December and I of course jumped at the chance for some far outside of the norm fun! Well, little did either of us know that the first photo shoot would quickly launch her start-up company into a full on business! Within a month she was featured in Austin Monthly, Tribeza, and countless event planning and wedding blogs, and has booked events with large names in town like Ballet Austin. I’ve become her go to hostess for events which is honestly so much fun. My first career was in event planning and catering so it’s been really enjoyable for me to go back to my roots on the weekends.
I’m so proud of her for taking charge and starting a truly innovative company and I’m honored that I got to be a part of it from the beginning! And I’d like to think that the confidence she has gained in class gave her the push to become a take-charge business woman. Cheers to you Soph on all of your hard work, with the kettle bell and with the fine China ;)
