Toni Rocha Rico
Artist, Life Coach and Columnist
for Mover El Bote – Nuestra Voz
Most people describe Toni as having a calming effect. This calming nature
comes from a lifetime of Reinventing, Recharging and Renewing herself as she
has continually sought out self-leadership skills and the knowledge of overall
wellness. The world can be a monotonous cycle where not much changes in the
average lifestyle. What does change is our health or lack of it. As we age our
body degrades and at some point the rate at which it degrades speeds up. Unfortunately
in recent years it is reported that our youth is starting that cycle of
degradation at an alarmingly younger age. Rather than blaming someone else Toni
wants to empower the individual to take charge of their life.
Toni believes that we should all dare to dream and actively seek out our
health through all aspects of wellness. She promotes three truths that can be
defined as:
Reinvent – to create new version of something: to change
radically the appearance, form, or presentation of something or somebody
Recharge – a process to restore power
Renew – to begin or take up again
As a first generation college student she had it in her heart to finish
what she started. After graduating from Lubbock Christian University with a
Bachelor’s in Organizational Management and a Master’s in Leadership Toni
thought it necessary to apply what she has learned by actively pursuing new
goals. New goals required the ability to recharge.
With so many years of being the student you can be left drained. Physically
Toni was ready to go. At age 43 she has been working on multiple projects.
Currently she has new goals that requires renewing
her lists of things to accomplish. With a new list of goals means reinventing who she is. For Toni this meant
becoming NSCA CPT certified, joining her local CrossFit and working out at a
level to earn the right to compete, getting Zumba certified and teach others
that fitness can be fun, eating Clean and continue her first passions of
writing and art.
Join Toni on the journey to Reinvent, Recharge and Renew yourself.
One final thought: when attending a Women and Leadership session there is
one message that has stuck with her:
