Evelyn LeVasseur: No More Shrinking

There are so many national days of celebration, but I recently learned that November 17th is National Entrepreneurs Day. This day is centered around highlighting and celebrating entrepreneurship throughout the country and sharing the stories of those who took a leap of faith, endured the challenges and trials of building a business, and designed their ideal lifestyle.

The work pillar is all about living your life’s purpose and getting the clarity needed to execute successfully. My main focus is to help people earn more without feeling like they have to chase, and I’ve watched countless women transform their lives and others by becoming entrepreneurs. For this reason, I found it necessary to turn National Entrepreneurs Day into a week-long celebration.

This week you can expect exclusive bonus interviews with amazing women from the recent cohort of my signature program, Purpose 2 Platform. Sharing how they gained clarity and now live purposeful lives, this week’s guest wants every woman to know that she can want to change her body, and love it at the same time.

Evelyn LeVasseur is the owner of Evelyn LeVasseur Fitness, a company that focuses on helping busy, overwhelmed moms reach their body goals without dieting or deprivation. Evelyn knows that moms can be especially hard on themselves and expect perfection: in our homes, jobs, marriages, and of course our bodies.

Most importantly, Evelyn knows that moms want what’s absolutely best for their children, and having negative feelings about ourselves can lead our children to have negative feelings about themselves. So, Evelyn is sure to approach all things from the angle of knowing that our actions shape our children and the legacies of health that we leave them.

Evelyn is a certified Group and Personal Trainer, a Hormonal Fat Loss Coach, and has a B.A. in Psychology with a Masters in Education. She is dedicated to living her life to its greatest capacity and providing her daughters and all women the tools to live their greatest lives with strength, resilience, self-compassion, kindness, faith and health.
