HFR: What keeps you motivated to stay healthy?
Sarah Pepper: My daughter. Being healthy and staying healthy for her is my most important goal. I want to be around to see all of her life events and I can’t do that if I don’t take care of myself. I owe it to her to be my best.
HFR: Do you believe that being fit and healthy has contributed to your successful career?
Sarah Pepper: For me, I do. I am busy a lot and there is no time for me to sluggish or drag and staying healthy ensures that I get to keep that energy level!
HFR: What inspires you, in general?
Sarah Pepper: My mom, my sister, and my daughter, my mom is the strongest person I know and has worked her entire life, most times, two jobs and never once complained or missed one of our events. My sister has taken every single roadblock she has been handed in her life and used it as motivation to continue to work to change the world. It’s amazing! Parker is my miracle! I worked for her for years! Amazes me every day that she’s here!
HFR: What tips would you give your fans and our readers to staying healthy?
Sarah Pepper: Find what works for you and think outside the box. Juicing is something I never would have thought of but it has been amazing for me. It’s an easy way to stay healthy especially when you are busy. Don’t be afraid to try something new! Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get where you want immediately but also don’t sit in your victories too much either. Great results take time.
HFR: Share something that most people don’t know about you!
Sarah Pepper: Hmmm, my shoe size is a two! In fact, when I get my shoes for the half marathon they used to be sent with crayons because they thought I was a little kid ☺
