If you had asked Kathy Joyce 20 years ago if she would work in health and fitness, the answer would have been a definite no. After all, Kathy was a CPA for 12 years, rising the corporate ladder in Manhattan and working at Big Six accounting firms, investment banks, and hedge funds. However, after a painful personal loss, priorities shifted, and Kathy left the banking world to stay home after the birth of her first child.
A difficult transition morphs into a second career
Kathy found the transition to being a stay-at-home mom challenging and isolating. She had gained 70 pounds during her pregnancy and lost a sense of clear direction in her life. She began working with a personal trainer, lost weight, and discovered she had a new passion and purpose. Weightlifting and movement were like medicine for her, building resilience and allowing her to heal. This inspired Kathy to embark on her second career of personal training, focusing on helping women in midlife like herself.
