It’s not the surgeon.
It’s not the supplements.
It’s not the perfect prehab plan.

It’s not the perfect prehab plan.
Those things help, but they’re not it.
The one thing you absolutely need — the only real prerequisite for success — is this:
You have to want it.
That’s it.
Want is the starting point.
Want is powerful.
And want is born from what you desire.

Desire sets the foundation for everything that comes next
It’s easy to think of want as something shallow — like, “Sure, I want a good outcome, but that’s not up to me.”
But actually... it is.
Desire is what gives your want meaning.
Desire turns “I hope I get better” into “I will do whatever it takes to recover fully.”
Desire turns “I hope I get better” into “I will do whatever it takes to recover fully.”
And that’s exactly what I did.
I desired to be pain-free.
I desired to feel strong again.
I desired to walk up a flight of stairs without fear, to kneel again, to dance at my own wedding, to feel like me in my body.

And I didn’t stop until I reached that.
This is where the Yetter Getter Mindset begins
If you’ve heard me talk about the Yetter Getter Mindset, you know the first part is Y.E.T.
It stands for You, Envision, and Thoughts — and it all starts with You.
It stands for You, Envision, and Thoughts — and it all starts with You.
Because you are the one who decides how this journey is going to go.
Not your surgeon.
Not your neighbor who said “you’ll never feel normal again.”
Not even your physical therapist.

You.
You are the one who has to want it.
You are the one who has to decide that you will be successful.
And you are the one who has to believe that full recovery — freedom, strength, normalcy — is possible.

And you are the one who has to believe that full recovery — freedom, strength, normalcy — is possible.
Because it is.
I’m living proof.
My life before knee replacement? Not much of a life.
I couldn’t walk on the beach.
I couldn’t walk up a curb.
Stairs? Forget it.
Working out felt like a fantasy.
I couldn’t walk up a curb.
Stairs? Forget it.
Working out felt like a fantasy.
And I was only 45.
I didn’t want to live the rest of my life sitting on the sidelines.
So, I got real honest about what I desired… and I let that desire drive my decisions.

Desire made me want to take my supplements.
Desire made me want to do my exercises.
Desire even made me want to cry some real tears on the bathroom floor — because I was in it.

That desire — backed by faith — is what built my success.
You don’t need to have the whole vision figured out.
Yes, I’m a big vision kind of girl. I’ve always been good at picturing things that don’t exist yet.
But I know not everyone is wired that way.
That’s why I created a free guide to help you build a vision that works for you — no Pinterest board required.
Because I want for you what I wanted for myself:
To win.
To feel strong.
To win.
To feel strong.
