We had the good fortune of connecting with Caitie Juels and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Caitie, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Honestly, my main goals were wanting to be happy and do something I enjoy doing and to offer that to other people because for me, it helps with my stress, my sleep, my mood, and my daily activities. Which is why I think getting that daily hike or exercise, and the right Nutrition is so important! I wanted to help offer that to others around the globe. I was working in the medical field for quite some time and I’m now focusing on just fitness, Nutrition, Health and Wellness Coaching! I decided to name my company, Fitnut_health , for fitness, nutrition and health. I think it kinda explaind a little bit of everything we offer all in one. What mainly got me started on all of this was my passion in hiking and traveling. Ive had a crazy life growing up and hiking was always my stress reliver, so I wanted to somehow make that my career and be able to show people that this is a great and healthy way to help with your stress and to also enjoy nature and get some exercise. Which is why I started the group hikes

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’s still a challenge to be honest, and I’m still getting to exactly where I wanna be. I’ve learned what patience really is. I learned who to trust, I learned that you have to have to put yourself first sometimes if you really want to accomplish your goals and dreams. I want people to know that WE are here for YOU. WE are a team, WE are a group, WE all work together, hike together, train together and help each other.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I owe a lot to so many people! I have great friends! I’m someone who prefers getting things done myself, but sometimes, just remember it’s always ok to ask for help. I wouldn’t be able to be doing what I love and enjoy without my friends and their help. If you enjoy Yoga, I highly recommend checking out my friend Kelly @yoginikel and going t o one of her sessions. Or you can meet her on one of our hike and Yoga sessions, which you can check out on her website or mine @fitnut_health https://www.fitnuthealthlife.net/

Marta is also AMAZING! she is an ICU nurse who does hikes with groups as well. You can check her out at @Martik1512
