    Giving to Myself

    Welcome to the podcast! In this week's episode, I talk to Mrs. DeNise Gerst about her fitness journey and how she managed that in conjunction with being a wife, mom, and educator. She shares how she got started, what keeps her going, and how that impacted her role as an educator. As with any conversation happening right now, we also discuss the changes that have happened to her routine since the pandemic began and how she stays on track. I hope this conversation was just as inspiring for you as it was for me.
