Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Wilcox.
Hi Melissa, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Back in 2018, I started documenting my health and wellness journey on Instagram on my page @EatWholeLiveFit. I started sharing as a way to hold myself accountable and to inspire women like me to seek health; mind, body, and soul. I shared healthy recipes, my morning routine that included prayer and journaling, exercise, and self-care. What I realized from trying different fad diets and trends was that in order to achieve the goals I was seeking, I needed to be consistent. That was the key to everything. So I started focusing on making health and wellness easy and attainable. I focused on my Eat Whole Live Fit blog and shared more tips and planners to help women be more consistent! During the pandemic, I was moved to start my company Be Consistent, Girl! Being laid off from work and forced to stay at home during the pandemic was hard. It was enough to shake the strongest person’s faith. The only reason I was able to stay grounded, especially during quarantine, was due to my close and personal relationship with God. I had been consistently journaling for years and thought it would be so helpful to create one for women like me. So I created the Pray Girl, Pray! Prayer Journal! From there I went on to create digital devotionals, guides, and apparel.
What started off as sharing health and wellness tips evolved into something that serves women holistically. I am grateful to have been able to influence and impact the lives of thousands of women through my online community and speaking. It’s been such an amazing and rewarding journey thus far! I look forward to serving women as a whole and being able to help them on their journey!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Staying consistent has been the biggest challenge. Sometimes I want to throw in the towel. Showing up when I don’t feel like it or when it feels as if nobody is listening. That can throw off how you show up. Remembering my “why” is how I keep pushing on.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
My small business, Be Consistent, Girl! focuses on helping holistically, mind, body, and soul. I create resources like meal prep planners, prayer journals, devotionals, and merchandise to help women build consistency in their lives.
To start during the pandemic was a giant leap of faith. I am proud to still be able to have my business and see it grow over this past year. It’s been amazing to see all that God has done to get me to this point. It continues to grow and impact the lives of so many women daily!
My most popular item is the Pray Girl, Pray! Prayer Journal. This journal is big and beautiful! I created it that way to make sure there was enough space to write and really pour out!
