Today we’d like to introduce you to Alicia Briggs
Hi Alicia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
In 2020, a series of health related unfortunate events lead me being put on bed rest. My weight ballooned to over 400lbs and I was unable to care for myself or my children. A health related episode that scared my children caused me to take action in my health journey. I lost 220lbs, did a body building show, and now my mission is to help other women become healed, whole, and healthy™.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It’s definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. One of the struggles I found along the way was learning that I have some heart conditions. Being diagnosed with AV block, Pots, and Orthostatic Intolerance has created a challenge to my health and fitness journey.
Once you’ve been bed bound, you’ll do anything to not go back there! So I find ways to manage and still move forward. Some days are better than others, but I refuse to give up. I refuse to lose myself again.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a certified personal trainer, online coach, and a social media content creator. I am a small business owner. I like to call my business a big business as I believe in the power of words. I own Butterflies and Dumbbells LLC, . I have had the pleasure of virtually training hundreds of women from around the world and help them transform their lives through strength training. Strength training as so many benefits for women as we get older, but it also builds confidence and curves we love to see for our own desires. I’ve also created the Butterfly community, a low cost app subscription to make fitness accessible to all.
How do you define success?
I define success as a feeling. Success is joy. Success is a feeling of fullness and happiness when you operate in your calling. I feel thankful, full, and joyful every day when I hear stories of the women I’ve helped, touched, or inspired. That’s true success to me.
