Faith, Family, and Fresh Food: How Karley Jones Built #1 Clean Eats In The States
Manage episode 482352377 series 3414615
Transformation isn't just about shedding pounds – it's about completely reimagining your life. Karley Jones, once a self-described "trash bag" who smoked a pack of cigarettes daily and drank excessively, now owns the #1 Clean Eats location among over 100 nationwide franchises. Her journey from unhealthy party girl to health entrepreneur offers powerful insights for anyone facing their own struggles.
"I didn't come from a healthy family, so I need to make sure that a healthy family comes from me," Karley shares in this vulnerable conversation about hitting rock bottom at 215 pounds before finding a coach who taught her nutrition basics. While quitting alcohol came relatively easily, cigarettes proved more challenging – even as she began teaching fitness classes. Eventually, what began as a part-time job at Clean Eats to help pay for her wedding evolved into a passionate career and thriving business.
Beyond business success, Karley candidly discusses balancing work with family life while navigating her mother's stage four cancer diagnosis. Rather than viewing work-life balance as something to achieve daily, she sees it as a long-term goal: "It might be work and then home, and then three works real hard and then two homes...at the end of the year, were we balanced?" Her practical wisdom about time-blocking, surrounding yourself with the right people, and finding strength through faith during difficult seasons resonates whether you're tackling health goals or life challenges.
For those seeking change, Karley offers this simple but profound advice: "You are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with." If you can't immediately change your social circle, begin by filling your mind with content from those you aspire to emulate. Ready to transform your health journey?
