What is and how did you decide on your profession?
I am the founder and owner of SWEAT, a boutique fitness studio located in Houston TX. I have always enjoyed fitness and found my passion for group fitness classes in 2015 while living overseas. That’s when I decided I wanted to open my own studio. I moved back to Texas the following year in 2016 and opened my first location in March of 2018.
Has there ever been a time where you felt you didn’t belong in your profession?
I have always known that I am exactly where I need to be. However, when I first started, I had many moments where I doubted myself, or wonder if I would be successful. There were many adversities that I had to overcome, but each of those adversities, made me stronger and gave me more confidence to keep on moving forward and build what I’ve built up to this date.
Has there been a time in your life that you felt you were unworthy?
Fortunately, NO. I have never felt unworthy.
What are some ways you have overcome adversity?
First, I think is important to accept and acknowledge adversity and think about how you can overcome it. Second: Define what the problem is and what consequences it will bring to my life if is not resolve on time. Will it matter in a few months from now? Third: I try to remind myself that everything has a solution and that it could always be worse. I try to stay positive the entire time and always take responsibility; ask yourself why is this happening to you?
Could this had been avoided? And lastly, is all about you react to adversity… is going make you have a breakdown or are you going to have the strength to resolve it and learn from it. I choose to have the strength.
When did you learn the importance of self love?
Self-love is something I need to practice every day. I always knew it was important because I am fortunate enough to have grown up in a very caring and loving family that taught me that self-love is very important. But you need to practice it…. I practice self-love by doing the following: eating healthy, working out, practicing self-care, being mindful, and keeping my social interactions healthy.
What does the Glam By Sam motto (“Find your glamour within”) mean to you?
It means being kind to yourself and others. Find beauty from within!
How do you continue to find your glamour within on a daily basis?
Treating people with respect, being kind, staying true to yourself, and always trying to make a positive impact on others.
These are amazing words to live by, Thank you Anabel for sharing your message of Finding your GLAMOUR within and overcoming adversity.
XOXO,
Sam💋
