Hi guys I wanted to jump on and let you know before the episode starts that we will be covering some topics today that may be triggering for some people.

So in Jacqueline's episode we do talk about infertility and miscarriage and loss among many other things but if you're in a season

where you're not quite ready to hear about her struggles please just sit this one out

we want to make sure you knew about this before the episode starts for any of

our listeners that aren't quite ready for that message today.

I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to others

But your life isn't supposed to look like hers being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being

willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into

the challenges and triumphs we all face.

Every woman listening gets the opportunity

to choose what life looks like for herself.

I'm so excited for you guys to meet my friend Jacqueline Brennan today. I've known Jack for about a decade now and I met her when I was living in Chicago.

She was teaching Pilates and I was personal training.

And our friendship really sparked because we had a love of working out and we also loved

to run together as we trained for a half marathon. In this episode we're going to talk about everything from marriage to infertility, health to owning a business. We're going to tell Jacqueline's story. So my friend

please introduce yourself for our listeners and tell them more about what makes

you you. Thank you guys so much first of all for having me and letting me share my

my story on your podcast. Your podcast is wonderful and I'm very honored to be on.

I like Amy said I've known her for a really really

long time and when we met I was teaching Pilates at a studio in Chicago with no real like plan of what was beyond teaching Pilates at the time.

And I came from an athletic background. I was running marathons. Like Amy mentioned we were both training for half marathon and we did a couple

ragnaire relay races and I fell in love with the practice of Pilates as a way to, for myself, stay healthy amidst
