After being born through a c-section because of a breached (feet first) position and umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, Taylor was moments from death and spent a few weeks  in the NICU. She had a physical therapist briefly as a baby to help with a condition that she would have called "Torticollis".Though she spent her whole life with this, she wasn't aware of it until her 30s while having a conversation with her mother about the pains she was experiencing. She also discovered through her chiropractor that she has a slight degree of scoliosis. These issues affect her from top to bottom and she's actively trying to work on the issues and pay attention to how they affect her day-to-day as well as her weightlifting and other fitness endeavors.In this short episode, Taylor discusses how valuable it is to know of or learn about these issues with your body. What was your birth story? What injuries did you have growing up? What injuries have you had recently? What about your posture from moment to moment?It would also be great if you could pay attention to these things with your children and let them know more about what their body has gone through. It can really help them as they get older.Tune in and share your thoughts by writing a review and or tagging @thepursueyourpotentialpodcast on Instagram / social media.

In this episode, Taylor dives into what it's been like being a stay-at-home working mom.Back in 2013 when Taylor had her baby, she and her husband decided it would be best for her to be a stay-at-home mom. Her husband traveled for work a lot, typically home for 10 days and gone for work 10+ days at a time. This came with a lot of challenges, but was the best decision for their family at that time in their lives. Neither of them wanted their son to be in daycare and raised by another. While Chris would be away, Taylor was responsible for taking care of her son and everything at home. Taylor used that time to go to school, take courses, and start her own businesses that could be done from home. Since then, Taylor has built multiple businesses.  Taylored for You Coaching, which is an online and in-person fitness business, Hula Hoop Fitness Utah, which is a hula hoop fitness business where she teaches people how to hula hoop for fitness and dance, Notary Signing Services, which is a business where she is a notary signing agent. On top of this, Taylor rents out her home gym to those who want a private space to work out.If you're interested in joining TFY Coaching there are limited spots available at this time. APPLY HERE
