Hey sis! We're three-deep in the Fit Series and I hope you've enjoyed what you've heard so far. Today is a real treat - pun intended – because this guest can throw down in the kitchen.
Chef Terri Allen has always been a mover and shaker. (Also runner as a Hickman Mills Cougar track girl!) Terri went from various entrepreneurial pursuits -- including a dry cleaners -- to becoming a fitness guru. As a motivational fitness coach and Zumba instructor, Terri built bodies and a committed clientele. She was also a sought after guest on several television shows, demonstrating her body-blasting moves.
But that's not all.
Terri began to meal prep, creating healthy and delicious meals for free. Fast forward, this self-taught chef made a major pivot. She decided to pursue the culinary arts. Now, she’s a classically trained graduate of Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. She's been featured nationally as an award-winning chef and has launched her food truck and company, Gourmet Grub.
Her story is amazing but not without tribulation. Last year, Terri was hospitalized, suffering from a serious case of COVID-19. Today, she remains a long-hauler. A key part in her story is if Terri wasn't already healthy, there was a great chance we wouldn't be talking to her today.
Listen in to this inspiring chat on her faith as she faced her own mortality due to COVID, her decision to carve out a new dream, fitness in your 40's and more.
