Stephanie Richardson - Dallas, Texas
Chapter
I am a wife and mother of two boys (ages 7 & 9), and excited to
be a part of Beyond the Bus Stop. Being a Stay At Home Mom was a
dream of mine. When my oldest was born, I felt overwhelmed and
being a mom wasn't quite what I had imagined. After my second was
born, I decided to get my health in order because I couldn't use
the excuse "just had a baby". Losing the baby weight gave me back
my confidence! Once my youngest one went to school, I felt like all
my dreams were over. I became a Coach with Beachbody and realized
one of my dreams! My dream was to help other moms who were in a rut
too. I help them realize they still have so much to offer outside
of their home while still keeping their family a priority.
My success and confidence gained has spilled over into many aspects
of my life. I have been able to travel around with friends sharing
my dream, sing back up vocals at my church, and also recently
played the part of Aunt Em in the community theatre production of
The Wizard of Oz. I had forgotten I always wanted to be in a
musical production and was thrilled with the opportunity. After
meeting Suzy, I realized that what I had been experiencing during
my motherhood was not unusual. Joining Beyond the Bus Stop is a
perfect opportunity for me to reach out to other moms, helping them
achieve their dreams by first realizing they still have them
too. |

Chapter
I am a Stay at Home Mom of 4, for the last 17 years. I got lost in
the day to day routines of being a stay at home mom and forgot to
take care of myself. I made a choice one day that I needed to find
time to take care of myself, for me, for my husband and my kids. I
got involved in a local Moms Group but soon realized that I am soon
growing out of this phase as my youngest will be in school full
time.
I am looking forward to creating a Beyond the Bus Stop Chapter for
Moms to venture out into the real world and do something for
themselves, try a new activity, be an inspiration or a mentor to
another, learn a new talent or do something new and different. |

Chapter
I am married and a mom to 2 girls. I work full time outside of the
home, and I am an Independent Beachbody Coach and AVON Independent
Representative.
I strive to help folks within my community and I look at Beyond the
Bus Stop as a unique opportunity for moms to find out who they are
and what they want to be beyond the role of motherhood. Let's
support each other and share our hopes and dreams while we work
together to help each other achieve them. |

Christy Sue Clay - Norfolk, Nebraska
Chapter
I am 29 years old with a generous husband and two young boys. My
desire is to be able to include women from all walks of life in an
open dialogue encompassing her tragedy and ultimate victory,
without judgment or comparison. I want to learn from moms before me
and moms in their journey after me. I haven't even arrived at the
bus stop, yet I feel overwhelmed at the sacrifice being asked of
me.
My husband and I always wanted children, but did not realize the
strain it would put on our rock solid relationship. Currently, I am
working 40+ hours as an office manager as well as a Beachbody coach
from my home. The dream I have "beyond my bus stop" is working
beside my husband as we did before having children. My husband and
I look forward to grand adventures together, with our family being
integral to the success of each journey.
Moms, let's come together to voice our joys, victories, failures,
& fears without pretense or judgment! Let's commit to one
another in exploring our deepest dreams and allow those dreams to
become a reality! Let's continue to support one another as we
voyage towards being the finest woman we can be, which will make us
the best mom we can be! |

Chapter
As a full-time, at-home mom to two busy boys, ages 6 and 4, I work
hard to meet the demands of a young family while still making the
time to take care of myself and pursue my personal goals and
dreams. As a founding leader of a Beyond the Bus Stop chapter, I
hope to provide a forum for women to come together, share their
hopes and dreams and work together in a supportive and encouraging
environment to achieve them.
I have been an active participant and board member of our local
MOMS Club and have been a strong supporter of the Community Youth
& Women's Alliance in Coatesville, PA, collecting donations to
support the women's shelter and the Circles of Support program. I
enjoy exercising to keep fit and I just finished my first sprint
distance Triathlon in June 2009, an experience which has fueled a
new passion for the sport and is keeping me busy swimming, biking
and running on a daily basis. I enjoy the challenge of competing
and hope to set an example to my sons that moms can be athletes
too!
Prior to starting my family, I graduated Lehigh University with a
BS in Marketing. I was a project manager within the Corporate
Market Research organization at Intel Corporation in Santa Clara,
California. I am currently working hard to build my own marketing
research firm, RMI Research & Consulting, founded in January
2009. The new challenges of running my own business are very
rewarding and exciting. |

Janet Branco - Westport, Massachusetts
Chapter
I am 39 years old, married, and the mother of two handsome boys,
ages 7 and 10. I consider myself to be very happy, outgoing and
always up for fun. Recently, I realized that I put 99% of my energy
into those three loves, and 1% of my energy into taking care of
myself. I want something more.
I have a family daycare out of my home, so that I could make an
income while being a full-time mom. This has worked well for me.
Although my children are both in school now, I still feel the need
to be at home before and after school, when they are sick, and
during their vacations.
In the busyness of life; I stopped taking care of myself. I put
myself last on every list just to make things easier! "Once I feed
everyone else, I'll find something to eat", "Once I find an hour
when no one needs me, I'll exercise." I don't feel the confidence I
once did, and I certainly don't have the size 8 body I once did!
Well, I want it all back.
I found Beyond the Bus Stop one day, while watching a BeachBody
infomercial. Probably while eating some chips and feeling
exhausted. I ordered the program and did great for about 30 days.
Then my old busy life just seemed to be in the way. I found a coach
named Suzy Stauffer to motivate me. I saw that she had a group
called "Beyond the Bus Stop" to motivate moms! It really hit home
with me! That is what I need! I need to go beyond my life at the
bus stop and remember who I used to be and want to be again!
Today I'm still reaching for that person I want to be. I haven't
gotten there, yet. I know I'll get there and I am very excited
about Beyond the Bus Stop helping me and others get there. I know
that if we take some of that awesome energy we give to our families
and put it into ourselves, amazing things will happen for us! I
know it will make us healthier and happier, not only for ourselves
but for our families. All the benefits you give yourself spill over
into every aspect of your life, which includes your family! Let's
be H.O.T. together! |

Tina Vozzo - Coplay, Pennsylvania
Chapter
I am a stay at home mom of two and I live in Coplay, Pa. I have a
BA degree in Communications - Radio and Television broadcasting. I
worked inside sales for 13 years for two different companies. I
resigned to become a stay at home mom. My husband Jeff and I have
been married for 10 years. Jeff still works and commutes to NJ
every day. The kids will both be going to school full time this
September for the first time. I became a Beachbody coach last
August after finding great success with my results. I help others
achieve their goals too.
I am excited to start a chapter in my area because there are so
many women like myself who have lost their identity. The Mom's club
only takes it so far. Once the kids get old enough to go to school
we are home left holding the bag. Most moms need to go back out in
the workforce and never really find anything past that. We make the
sacrifices; we give up on our dreams and our goals. I want to
remind fellow women that it's okay to be a strong woman, to have
fun and to find happiness beyond the duties as a mom, as a
homemaker and as a wife. It's okay to be an individual with ideas
and dreams. Mom's in my area are joining together to network and
find a more fulfilling life with Beyond the Bus Stop. |
