Good morning! I wrote the below email to my friend Missy and decided I needed to share it here as well! I had such a great experience meeting my Uber driver last week that it felt more like a health coaching session than just a ride home. Enjoy!
Hi Mariss!
I had to tell you the cutest and best thing that happened to me today! I was in an Uber home from my parents apt (don’t tell Marcus!) and my driver was so cute. I had a long day and usually when uber drivers talk to me I get all “New York” and don’t want to talk to them, but he was different. After he asked what I do, he got so excited to tell me all about his health journey. He has lost 30lbs in the last few months and is so dedicated to losing more. He goes to the gym almost everyday and has cut out packaged food and soda. He told me he drinks 2 huge water bottles each day because somebody told him to do that (he was so proud!)
The best part though, was he was asking my opinion on ways to eat healthier, meals to cook, and how to stay motivated. I normally don’t go around just advising people because without knowing their history and really knowing their goals, it’s tricky, but I had such a soft spot for him. It was his 30th birthday and he just wanted to make a real change in his life as he got older. SO CUTE!
Made me really love what I do and proved that you can meet people ANYWHERE! Sometimes I get shy about telling people what I do or how I do it and this just showed me to be much more open because you never know whose life you could be changing/shaping/helping. Ok that’s all for now! Hope you’re having a great week!
xoxo
