(MUSIC) ARE YOU READY TO JOIN US FOR THE
MISSION OF A LIFE TIME? WELL WE CERTAINLY HOPE SO.
TODAY ULGA AND I ARE JOINED HERE ON THE BALANCING ACT SET BY MY
NEW MISSION MAKEOVER CO-HOST JAMIE EASON. WE ARE SO EXCITED
TO LAUNCH OUR FOURTH SERIES OF MISSION MAKEOVER OF FEBRUARY 9.
WE REALLY ARE. WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEAK AT THE UPCOMING
SEASON AND OF COURSE INTRODUCE JAMIE.
JAMIE, WE'RE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON OUR SET. AND WE'RE JUST SO
EXCITED YOU'RE JOINING THE SHOW. THANK YOU, I'M SO EXCITED TO BE
HERE. IT'S GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN. WELL JAMIE FOR ALL OF OUR
VIEWERS OUT THERE WHO MIGHT NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR VARIED
CAREER, ALRIGHT I WANT YOU TO TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND. I
KNOW YOUR A WRITER, A BLOGGER, A FITNESS EXPERT, A MOM, A CANCER
SURVIVOR AND SO MUCH MORE. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY CAUSE
I NEVER ANTICIPATED HAVING A CAREER IN FITNESS. IT WAS NOT
EVEN ON MY RADAR BUT AS LIFE HAPPENS TO MANY OF US I ACTUALLY
FOUND MYSELF WITH BREAST CANCER IN MY TWENTIES AND YEA, I'D
ALWAYS BENN ACTIVE BUT I WAS NEVER, I NEVER REALLY WATCHED
WHAT I ATE AND I NEVER REALLY EXERCISED REGULARLY. IT WAS JUST
KIND OF YOU KNOW AS KIDS YOU KNOW LIKE HOW WE DO ALL THE
TIME. SO ANYWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED IT WAS REALLY EYE
OPENING AND I THOUGHT I NEED TO START PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT
I'M PUTTING IN MY BODY. AND I REALLY I JUST REALLY I WAS LIKE
A SPONGE. I STARTED ABSORBING ALL OF THE THINGS I WAS LEARNING
AND I GOT EXCTED ABOUT IT AND I LEFT A CAREER THAT WAS UM A
GREAT CAREER AND MY PARENTS THOUGHT I WAS NUTS BUT UM IT'S
BEEN SO FULFILLING. SO IT'S LIKE A REALLY BAD SITUATION THAT
TURNED INTO THE BEST CAREER I COULD EVER IMAGINE. SO I DIDN'T
I DIDN'T WANT TO EVER GET CANCER AGAIN. I'M CANCER FREE AND
THAT'S THAT'S BEEN REALLY THE SCARIEST THING IN MY LIFE THAT
TURNED INTO THE BIGGEST BLESSING OF MY LIFE CAUSE I LOVE FITNESS.
I NOW TRY TO EDUCATE PEOPLE, I LOVE TRYING TO MOTIVATE THEM TO
MAKE CHANGES IN THEIR OWN LIFE AND UM IT'S REALLY BEEN A
FANTASTIC CAREER. AND I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE TO WHERE I
CAN SHARE SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE LEARNED WITH THE LADIES.
AND JAMIE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU AND I WANT OUR VIEWERS
TO KNOW THIS, YOU WERE NAMED FITTEST MODEL
YEA! HELLO! (LAUGHTER)
YOU'VE GOT THE SIX PACK GOING? YEA.
OH YEA. THEN I DID.
(LAUGHTER) I'LL TELL YA, YEA SHE DOES.
THEN WELL, AH THANK YOU. I WAS I WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AT THE TIME
WHEN I WON THAT TITLE. SO THAT'S BEEN A PRETTY NEAT TITLE THAT I
CAN KIND OF YOU KNOW PUT OUT THERE NOW AND THEN. I'LL BE 40
SOON AND ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALLY EVER REALIZE THAT AND I I
REALLY OWE THAT I THINK TO LIFTING WEIGHTS. AND I FOUND
THAT ALOT OF WOMEN ARE INTIMIDATED BY THAT, BUT UM
BEING THE FITEST MODEL IT'S NOW MADE ME, I'M MORE OF AN ADVOCATE
FOR IT BECAUSE WOMEN SEE THE CHANGE. I WASN'T OUT OF SHAPE
PER SAY OR OVER WEIGHT, I JUST DIDN'T LOOK UM, I I WASN'T AS
LEAN, FIT AND HEALTHY LOOKING. SO I LOVE TO SAY THAT IN MY 20S
I I THINK NOW ALMOST 40 I LOOK BETTER THEN I DID IN MY 20S.
YEA WE LIKE THAT! YEA
WE LIKE THAT. ALL WOMEN CAN INSPIRE TO THAT.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT... IT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
ALL WOMEN CAN DO IT. THAT'S THE THING THAT I WANT WOMEN TO
REALIZE TOO IS DON'T BE INTIMIDATED. YOU'VE GOT MORE
STRENGTH THEN YOU REALIZE, YOU KNOW IF YOU JUST DO A, B AND C
THERE'S NO MYSTERY BEHIND IT. YOU KNOW THERE'S SO MUCH
MIS-INFORMATION OUT THERE, THERE'S ACTUALLY TOO MUCH
INFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT IT AND I THINK THAT WE'RE HERE FOR
THESE WOMEN ESPECIALLY TO DEMYSTIFY IT. AND JUST GIVING
THEM SOMETHING SIMPLE TO FOLLOW AND HELP THEM REALIZE THEY CAN
DO THIS. YOU ARE JOING OUR TEAM AND YOU
ARE GOING TO BE A CHEERLEADER, AN EXPERT, A COACH FOR THESE
GIRLS. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?
I EXPECT THE LADIES TO WORK HARD AND I KNOW THEY'RE UP TO THE
CHALLENGE. THEY'VE REALLY EXPRESSED THAT THIS IS IT.
THEY'RE READY FOR THAT LIFE CHANGE. NO GOING BACK. SOME OF
THEM HAVE SOME CRAZY STORIES. SOME BIG MOUNTAINS THAT THEY'VE
CLIMBED AND UM MY HEART REALLY GOES OUT TO SOME OF THEM CAUSE I
FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE WANTED FOR SO LONG AND
THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IT BUT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AND
INCREDIBLE TEAM FOR THEM. THEY'VE GOT AN AMAZING TRAINER,
THEY'VE GOT A THERAPIST THAT'S REALLY GONNA HELP THEM GET PAST
THOSE ISSUES THAT THEY FEEL LIKE ARE HOLDING THEM BACK AND WE'VE
ALSO GOT A GREAT NUTRITIONIST CAUSE FOOD, I KNOW PERSONALLY,
IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS.
AND I LOVE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HELP THESE WOMEN WHO HAVE
STRUGGLED WITH THEIR WEIGHT AND IT'S NOT JUST THEM. THERE ARE SO
MANY WOMENOUT THERE THAT WILL BE WATCHING THAT YOU WILL BE
HELPING AS WELL. AWW I HOPE SO. I THINK THESE
WOMEN, THEY'RE GOING TO BE SURPRISED. THEY'RE GOING TO
REALLY INSPIRE ALOT OF PEOPLE AND I'M JUST EXCITED TO BE A
PART OF THEIR JOURNEY. LISTEN, WE WANT YOU TO MAKE SURE
