All my life I have lived a very active lifestyle on the farm.
Today, as I reflect back on my former self and understand why I may be wired a little different then most. It all stems down to one word “Discipline“. From my former experience showing cattle and years of involvement in the livestock industry. I live for the type of discipline and structure that provided a sense of purpose to having some serious goals.
Let’s fastfoward to 2019, my first time walking on stage for a body building competition. This was the first time in my life that I truly felt something different. I felt alive having that same sense of discipline that was so familiar to me. This is the first time in my life, that I truly felt proud of myself, I had made it to a stage that I had dreamed of. I had dreamed of this but, I had never told anyone because I was scared of the social anxiety.
Now, In the moment of walking on stage, it was so empowering that I didn’t care if I was first or last, I just remember being so incredibly happy for myself. In the process of getting there, I took every ounce of doubt I had and I pushed it aside, and I went for it. Backstage I remember, I wasn’t nervous at all because I knew I deserved to be there, I put in the work and I was bring my personal best.
The bodybuilding industry taught me how to alter my mindset, that you can defy you genetics, and even your challenges in life, all you just have to alter your perspective. After accomplishing this empowering feeling of self accomplishment. I knew right then and there, I truly loved who I was becoming, and I had found my new sense of purpose in life.
It doesn’t come as a surprise that with former career choices, I have always loved educating and the knowledge I have discover on my personal journey and extended education is priceless. My purpose now is to help others feel that same feeling and live their best life.
Today I am a Register Dietitian, Personal Trainer and Nutritionist. I am the founder of Callyn Hahn Inc. and my mission is to help you live to be the best version of yourself every day. I dedicate my life now to helping other individuals live a life of fulfillment!
